Beneath A Moonless Sky - A Rierra Fanfiction

Chapter 11 - Uncle Ramin

It's lunch time.

Sierra goes to get her and Ramin some food from the canteen, before going back to the main auditorium.

There, she finds Ramin holding Saffron onstage, giving her a tour of the Phantom's lair.

"And this is where I write my songs," Ramin tells Saffron who is entrigued with this new environment.

She suddenly squeals excitedly as Ramin starts singing to her and bouncing her up and down on his hip.

He only notices Sierra watching them from the stalls when he turns around, but she's been sat there for 5 minutes, engrossed in the way he was looking after her daughter.

"Hello," he says as he walks to the stalls towards Sierra.

"Hi," she replies. "You have the best way of looking after my daughter," she tells him.

"Thanks. Well I suppose it takes the weight off your shoulders from time to time, with you being a single mum and all that. Here, you can have her back now" he says, passing Saffron to Sierra, but she doesn't seem to want to let go of Ramin. Sierra just giggles.

"It's alright, you keep hold of her."

So for the rest of the lunch break, which is about 20 minutes or so, they remain seated in the stalls whilst 'Uncle Ramin' plays with Saffron and Sierra checks social media.

Before long, the whole cast have come back and have assembled in the stalls.

Cameron then gets up on stage to make an announcement.

"Welcome back everyone. We'll, we've got 6 months until the big performance and I've just been informed that the costumes are on their way. That means next week we can start working with them and also start using mics. This is a very exciting part of the process so I just thought I'd tell you know because the next six months are going to fly by! Right, so now I'd like to run Notes/Prima Donna and then the Point of No Return. Those of you not in these scenes please go with Gillian to do more of Masquerade and the Ballet."

Notes/Prima Donna is done first, so because they're not needed for this scene, Ramin and Sierra stay where they are with Saffron. Ramin will only be needed when the time comes for his voiceover of the Phantom's note, but Cameron doesn't want to worry about that today.

Saffron has been on Ramim's knee for the entire time and has found a new interest in playing with his fingers!

But Cynthia soon comes back in time to, eventually, take Saffron before Ramin and Sierra go to do the Point of No Return.

Cameron is happy with this first time around because they've done it so many times before over the years.

Once rehearsal finishes, Ramin and Sierra go their separate ways until morning.
