Red Rose Nightmare (Phantom Of The Opera) (Temp Hiatus)

Deal Or No Deal Brieanna!

Hello, my Phantom fans, I am back! I know it has been forever.

I am sorry that I did not update. I have been very busy for the past couple of months. My teaching job starts again, studying for my exam, rehearsing for the musical "Beauty and the Beast," and spending time with my family. Again, the next chapter will take some time because of life and my next update is my "My Magical Wish" story. Please be patient with me.

Again, I want to thank my friend OtherCharacterNut for proofreading this chapter. Seriously, I do not know what I would do without your help. If you have not read her stories, I recommend you read them. They are truly amazing! Also, I want to thank everyone who helped/advised me with my writer block for this chapter. I really appreciate all the help.

Also, please check out my Twitter page, my YouTube channel, and my Polypore page to see posters and what clothes Brie is wearing in each chapter. Anyways, do not forget to favorite, follow, review, and enjoy this chapter.

Also, I do not own anything except my OC Brie.

Brie's POV

All right, that settles it; I need to stop hitting my head on the floor or any kind of hard surface. It felt like a bag of bricks was dropped on my head, but the worst part was I was trapped in the darkness. My mind began to waken before my body. I couldn't open my eyes, but I could hear strong footsteps rushing toward me. I could feel concerned hands turning me on my back and then swiftly carrying me into their arms to lay me down on a much softer surface. It was when a tender touch caressed my cheek that I was able to open my eyes.

As my mind connected with my body again, I saw the man I had not seen for two years right in front of me. I gasped at his closeness, which caused him to back away with his hands raised so I'd know he meant me no harm.

I could not believe my eyes as I softly whispered out, "Erik?"

He smiled at me and took a step towards me. I however, was still shocked to see him. I got out of the chair and stepped back, keeping my distance from him. His smiled dropped and he lowered his arm. Don't get me wrong, I should have been running into his arms and not let him go. However, there was something holding me back. I knew Erik was Mr. Y. He planned this all along.

"I should have known that you'd be here... I should have known it all along... This whole arrangement bears your stamp. You're in each measure of that song." He walked to me again, but I would not let him. "No Erik, don't." Hearing my stern voice, he came to a halt once more. I needed to speak my mind. What I have wanted to say for the past 2 years. "How dare you come and claim me now? Invade my life, ensure my voice..."

Erik's look of sorrow smashed my heart. I could see the pain and loss in his eyes. When he spoke, my legs felt like jelly. "If you could know the pain I've known... Then you would know I had no choice..." I looked down at the floor. I could not bear to look into his eyes right now. I heard his dress shoes slowly walked up to me. I felt his gloved hand grabbed my chin to lift my head. I looked right into his eyes as he said,"My Brieanna..."

Hearing my name coming out of his mouth made my heart swell. Before I could smile, my mind flashed to the past. Back to the Opera House, the fire, Erik kidnapping me, he nearly killed Raoul, I confessed my love to him, going to escape... when I fell back into the mirror. I have spent two years longing to find a way to come back. However, this is too much for me. I closed my eyes to try not to let the tears fall out of my eyes. I took a deep breath and stepped away, making him release my chin.

"Your Brieanna?" I asked meekly.

I turned around, facing away to him. I did not want him to see me as a weakling. I covered myself with my arms for comfort. This pain, regret, and heartbreak would not be happening, if I had not fallen into the mirror. Once I came back to this world, I felt like I was hurting more people.
