☠️PhantomOneShotsChap1: Child☠️

(First Person POV)

"Hey there little girl. Want to come with me? I have candy for you in my car." I stood outside of the Opera Populaire. My mommy worked inside the opera house. My friend Erik said he would be right back, because I forgot my day hat and he left to grab it. An old but large man approached me with a big smile. I looked up at him. I smiled at the mention of candy!

"Yes please!" My inner 5 year old yelled aloud. I jumped up and down with joy as he opened his car door in front of us. I skipped over towards the car but was pulled back by a black gloved hand. I was pulled against a warm person. I looked up with wide eyes to see Erik! My best friend. The man who offered me candy looked really angry. Like how my mommy and daddy gets when I don't eat my vegetables!

"Leave her alone you low lifed-"

"Do you want some candy too, Erik?" I tugged on his dress shirt under his cloak. He had my day hat scrunched in his hand by his side. He looked down at me with his pretty blue eyes. I smiled up at him and took his hand, which was all scrunched too. He unscrunched his hand and I held his hand. I grabbed the other man's hand. I made them hand shake.

"Its ok! There must be enough candy to share! Right sir?" I looked at the other man with my big brown eyes. He stared. Erik put my hat over my eyes and I heard something sound like something hitting something. I also hear crunching and groans. What are they doing? I lift my hat a little but Erik pushed it back down over my face again.

"COVER YOUR EYES." He yelled. I nodded under my hat and closed my eyes, Erik sounded angry. After a bunch of random noises, I feel Erik's gloved hand take mine. He started to lead me somewhere. I heard doors open than close. Erik took off my hat. We were inside the opera house! What about our walk?

"From now on, if you wish to walk outside, bring me with you, little one." He ruffled my hair and I nodded with a giggle. He gave a tiny smile.

"Did you get the candy?" I asked excitedly. He checked his pockets and took out a strawberry hard candy! My favorites!!! I took it and ate it after unwrapping the sweet! Erik smiled then left into the dark areas of the room.

"Thank you, Angel!" Erik told me to call him that in public, "have a nice day!!!" I waved goodbye and went to find my mother.
