Your Phantom

Chapter 2

" Wake up, child." You heard a voice call to you while shaking you awake. " Come on Y/n you need to wake up." It was Madame Giry. You sat upright looking at her. " Come on, you don't want to be late do you?"  " Of course not!"  You said getting up and putting on the outfit Madame Giry gave you the previous night. As you got dressed Madame Giry told you to meet at the stage. After getting ready, you head to the stage where they were holding Rehearsals for the new production of Hannibal, again. You are instructed to grab a broom and start sweeping the backstage area. As the Rehearsals continue you begin to memorize the lyrics. The song was " Think of me."  You began to sing along quietly to each person who auditioned. As you were singing, it stopped abruptly and you didn't realize so you kept singing. After you were finished you saw they had pulled the curtain open to reveal you singing, while sewing dresses, upon Madame Giry's request. 

Your face turned red with embarrassment " Excuse me." You say so quietly that no one probably even heard you. You put down the dress and rushed off to your room and locked the door. " Oh My God, I am definitely going to get fired now. I know the Angel said I was good, but they were just staring at me. I messed up big time." Suddenly there was a knock on your door. " Who is it?" You asked, scared to know the answer. " It's Madame Giry "  You rushed to your door and unlocked it.   " I'm sorry, I was lost in song and-" 

You were cut off by a hug from her. " You did very well my dear. They want you to sing for them."  " Who" You asked, pure shock upon your face. " The managers Monsieur Andre' and Monsieur Firmin." Your eyes were wide with shock " They want me to sing? But, I'm no good." You said. " I heard from someone else that you had a beautiful voice." Madame Giry said. You mustered up your courage and headed back to the stage. " Ah, Mademoiselle!" Firmin said with Andre' right behind him. " Hello Monsieurs." You say. " I would like to audition please."  " Of course!" Andre said. You walked on the stage took a deep breath and sang like the night before.

( Again pretend this is you.) 

Everyone watched in Anticipation including a shadowy figure in box 5 as you finished the songs with the high notes. You were out of breath and tired but the applause was worth it. " Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your new Prima Donna!"  You smiled wide with pride. Your dream was finally going to come true. You walk back to your room after going over plans with the managers, to find Madame Giry waiting for you. " You were incredible." She picks up another rose with black ribbon. " He is pleased with you." She hands you the rose. You fumble with the ribbon for about 10 minutes, When a sudden booming voice breaks the silence. 

" Are you still interested in training with me, Mon Ange?" He asks. " Why of course, Monsieur." After practicing for an hour and many voice cracks and failed attempts to make him laugh, " Well you should probably go to bed now." Says the Angel. " Of course. Oh , and my name is Y/n by the way. What's yours?" " Y/n, such a pretty name, for a pretty lady." You blush at his words " And I go by The Phantom of The Opera, or Opera Ghost."  " I like The Phantom better, It 's shorter and sounds more OOOMINOUS!!!" You say making the " O " long and wiggling your fingers. You hear him chuckle. 

" Oh, so now I get you to laugh?" You say. "I've been trying to make you laugh all night to no avail" He laughs even more " Okay, well, I'm going to bed, you're rude by the way." You say jokingly  "Goodnight Phantom, "   " Goodnight Y/n" Your name rolls off his tongue, which causes a shiver to run down your spine. As you get dressed in another night gown you suddenly start to pass out. As black spots cloud your vision, the last thing you see is the mirror opening and the masked man from the previous night, rushing over to you.
