"Daaaaad!!!!" I yelled, probably making him nervous.
"Yes?! What is it?! Are you hurt?!" Right on time.
"Noo.... I'm just very bored!!!! Can't I go out?"
Dad came into my room, raising an eyebrow, clearly annoyed that I called out while he was playing a melody on his organ.
"Emma.... You know I can't allow you to.... What if you get hurt?"
"Dad... I haven't been out since.... Since when.... You know when!" I cried out. I was sick'n tired of being in this dumb lair ever since we returned, the days always repeated themselves.
Wake up.
Eat.
Play the piano.
Draw.
Sing.
Eat.
Go to bed.
Sleep.
Wake up.
And so on into eternity.
"My dearest Emma.."
"DAD! Please! Just let me go up to the opera house? Lurk around? I'll even take my mask on!" I said. Ever since my trip to Les Mis, where I met Enjolras and the others, I hadn't used my mask, nor had anyone ever questioned my slight deformity. They had accepted me. I loved them all for that. Enjolras the most.
I could see that dad considered letting me go.
"Okay. But! Take your mask on, stick to the shadows." He bent down, kissing my forehead. I stood up, giving him a hug. He returns the hug, not letting go. I eventually pull away, grinning, dad handed me my white half mask, placing it on my face.
"Be back before dinner."
"I don't know when dinner is."
"Fine." Dad sighed.
"Be back by five."
"I don't have a watch."
Dad grunted something, leaving the room. He entered the room again with a wrist watch. It didn't look like a mans, it was to feminine, with small diamonds and all.
"Whose was that? The watch, I mean." Gesturing towards the watch.
Dad came closer, putting the watch carefully on my wrist.
"Take a guess."
"Moms?" I asked, causing him to nod.
"I'll take up to the surface." He said, stalking out of my room, I walked right behind him.
He took the oar and put out his hand for me to take it, I took it. He led me into the boat, and set it off.
When we arrived at the surface he gave me a hug. "See you in a bit Mon Ange."
He then vanished.
I walked around a little bit, searching around the opera house, immediately ignoring my fathers orders about staying in the shadows.
I found the once grand entrance and stopped in my tracks.
"Emma?"
Tears welled up in my eyes.
"Can it be?"
"Enjolras." I screeched.
"I'm here too!" Eponine entered the room
"Eponine!!!" tears fell from my eyes.
"DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO STAY IN THE SHADOWS!" A voice boomed. Enjolras and Eponine looked around, I squirmed, trying to block out my fathers angry voice out. That of course, didn't really work well.
"Do NOT! Ignore me Emma!"
"Is that.. Is that Erik's voice?" A woman said, she then entered the opera house.
"How do you know my dads name?..." I trailed off as I saw her.
*****
She looked like me.
*****
Yay! That all I can say.
