Do not stand at my grave and weep

i am not there, i do not sleep

do not stand at my grave and cry

i am not there, i did not die

but my time is coming, im close to it now

my world is ending, im taking my final bow

I scanned foolishly over the note for the thousandth time, hoping to find some whereabouts of my fiance. We had been seperated in a hurendous fire, much like the one i had started back in my mischeif making days, causing me to loose her. I was told by a passer by that she had died in the fire...however this note i found states different. I slammed another mirror on the floor as i scrambld to figure it out. Four months and i still cant figure the damn thing out.

"Erik destroying things wont make it any better" Madame Giry stated, sat in the corner of my music room scanning the letter.

"Its either i destroy a mirror or kill a person. Katrina wouldnt like that and i vowed to make her happy for the rest of my life so i shall continue to destroy things" i screamed as i threw a vase across the room.

"How do you know she wrote this. It could be anyones"

"It was left in the only tunnel she knows. Its a secret one that no one but me, her and you know!" I screamed.

"Hello!" Me and Madame Giry stopped in our tracks as the voice called out again. I motioned for Madame Giry to stay where she was and walked out of the room.

"Hello is anyone there?"

"Who goes there!?" I shout into the dark.

"Timmy sir. Timmy dawkins" I followed the voice and found a young boy who was dressed in rags.

"Why are you here Timmy!"

"I was sent sir. By Katrina Destler!" I smiled at the fact she had used my last name. I knew she was alive now as shes the only one who knows my last name.

"Where is she?!"

"I cant say sir. Its a secret. But i am to give ya this. Its a letter by the miss herself. I was told to deliver it and return to her side" I took the letter from his hand.

"Why cant she return to me?" I ask worried.

"It explains in the letter sir. She says shes sorry. Goodbye sir." The little boy ran off before i could stop him. Katrina must have told him how to get into the tunnel. I read the note and tears fell from my face. I walked back into the music room and handed the note to Madame Giry.

"Shes dying!" i cried as i sat in the chair. Madame giry read the note outloud.

"My dearest Fiance, by the time you are reading this i will probably be very close to death! The fire was how i was originally supposed to die. I made sure we got split up so you wouldnt see me die but i was rescued before anything could happen. I have been suffering from a rare disease that has started to slowly kill me off. I have spent the last four months dreaming of the life we could of had, but as fate would have it, we are both destined to have a life that was never worth living. Know that you changed my life for the better and I will always love you. One day we will meet in the sky...then my life will have meaning again. Find someone Erik, love them as you loved me. I love you my saviour!"

"oh god...she may have been able to get help, why did she not try?"

"she must of known It was hopeless...she always was stubborn!" I stated angrily. I stormed out and Madame Giry followed behind me quickly.
