This is Me

the midnight melody

Rosalie was still in shock at what she heard that Madame Giry actually suggested that she would sing instead of Christine

"A stage hand don't be silly" monsieur Firman said as Rosalie felt a little insulted by that remark 'at least I have more brains than most people' Rosalie thought to herself

"She's been taught by a great teacher" Madame Giry said "who" monsieur Firman said as Rosalie rubbed the back of her neck "I don't know his name sir" Rosalie said

"Let her sing for you monsieur, she has been taught well" Madame Giry said gripping Rosalie's shoulder gently in comfort

"Alright...come on, don't be shy" monsieur Firman said as Rosalie breathed in and out walking up to try her part and sing

"From the beginning of the aria then mademoiselle" monsieur Reyer said as he went into position "Andre this is doing nothing for my nerves" Firman said "she's very pretty" Andre said as Rosalie started singing

Rosalie: "🎶 Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while Please promise me you'll try 🎶"

Rosalie: "🎶 When you find that once again you long To take your heart back and be free If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me 🎶"

The time skips to the opening night of Hannibal where everyone is now watching Rosalie sing her part of think of me and she was dressed in an elegant white dress

Rosalie: "🎶 Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while Please promise me you'll try 🎶"

Rosalie: "🎶 When you find that once again you long To take your heart back and be free If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me 🎶"

Rorsch, Ruby, Lily and Raoul were watching up in box 4 watching her sister Rosalie sing was very exciting for Lily

Rosalie: "🎶 We never said our love was evergreen Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember Stop and think of me 🎶"

Rosalie: "🎶 Think of all the things We've shared and seen Don't think about the way Things might have been
Think of me, think of me waking 🎶"

Meanwhile as Rosalie was singing the phantom of the opera himself was watching her performance from box 5 seeming pleased with her voice

Rosalie: "🎶 Silent and resigned Imagine me trying too hard To put you from my mind Recall those days 🎶"

Rosalie: "🎶 Look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do There will never be a day When I won't think of you 🎶"

Rosalie: "🎶 Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade They have their season so do we But please promise me that sometimes When the music ended
You will think of me 🎶"

Everyone cheered for Rosalie who was tired from all the singing and she went up to the roof of the populaire as it seemed calm and peaceful

Rosalie sat on the edge of the roof with one of her legs dangling over the side she sighed and leaned her head back against the gargoyle

She closed her eyes feeling tired not knowing a certain black cloaked phantom was watching her from a distance

Rosalie opened her eyes feeling an unfamiliar gaze on her and she pulled out her pendant she opened it up revealing her parents and her baby sister

Rosalie could barely remember her childhood when she was younger she had bumped her head and got amnesia when she was 13 years old

She hummed a song to herself that she knew when she was little then a humming came as well making her turn around to see her best friend Ruby humming along

"You having fun yet" Ruby said with a smile "why do I have a feeling you and my sister planned this somehow" Rosalie said

"Say what you want it still won't change the fact your here now anyway Madame Giry is looking for you" Ruby said as Rosalie deadpanned at her

"You deliberately ignored my question didn't you" Rosalie said as she follows Ruby before she glances back once more having felt a gaze on her

"I could have swore someone was watching me" Rosalie said shaking her head slightly then left with Ruby to go find Madame Giry

After they both left the phantom came out from his hiding spot "tonight I finally get to see you again my beloved rose" Erik said looking up at the beautiful night sky

Lily poked her head out and saw him "Erik" she said and ran up to hug him having been hugged by the younger sister of his beloved he had grown used to it

"You should head back and get some sleep young one tonight I'm going to take your sister away" Erik said petting her head softly

"But I...'yawn'...don't feel tired" Lily said rubbing her eyes Erik kneeled down "you really should get some rest your sister would worry" Erik said coaxing the girl

Lily let out a big yawn "ok I'll go...play nice with my sister ok...don't force her to remember" Lily said tiredly as she walked out the door

Rosalie's pov

I got into the diva's room and honestly 'what am I doing here...this should be Christine who's in here not me' I thought to myself

I picked up the red rose with the black ribbon in my hand and sighed headed towards the one way mirror looked into the mirror and saw myself

I breathe in and out moving a strand of my hair back in place and sat down at the makeup station "when will this night end" I said feeling utterly hopeless

I heard a knock on the door "come in Rory" I said as I heard him chuckle as he walked in "so what you can sense my presence now" he said walking up to me

"Only you would be up this late without getting noticed by Madame Giry" I said my hand holding up my head "maybe I'm just talented like that" he said teasingly

"Oh joy your a joker now" I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes at his antics "ok well goodnight and have fun" Rory said walking out the door

I sighed and went to get dressed into my nightwear then I saw the candles go out 'here he comes the phantom of the opera himself' I thought to myself

Erik: "🎶 Insolent boy! this slave of fashion basking in your glory, ignorant fool! this brave young suitor Sharing in my triumph 🎶"

Having just seen the phantom of the opera movie with my sister and Ruby I sang the melody to calm him down

Rosalie: "🎶 Angel I hear you speak I listen, stay by my side guide me, Angel my soul was weak, forgive me enter at Last master 🎶"

Erik: "🎶 Flattering child you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide look at your face in the mirror, I am there inside 🎶"

As soon as I saw his face I gasped staring straight into his eyes and my heart pounded in my chest 'There's no way... the phantom is my soulmate!'
