It was July of 1890. A masked man by the name of Erik lives under the main hall of the Opera House, and has been hearing rumors of a new company member joining today.
'Great another woman who believes she can sing.' He thought to himself. Erik was not a fan of the company. Once they use to be great and the best in all the world, but now he hates the way they sing these beautiful scores. The only thing that satisfies him is working on his own work and listening to the orchestra play. He hopes that one day Carlotta will not be the Prima Donna and someone who can sing will take her place.
Erik put on his dark cloak and headed up to the rafters above the stage. He planned to watch this girl who was going to be auditioning. Erik stood carefully watching to make sure he would not be seen. After watching the ballet rats finish he saw a brown curly haired girl walk on the stage. She looked very nervous even though he could not see her face. As the orchestra started the music she started to sing.
"Think of me
Think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me once and a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought of me."
Erik was entranced by her voice. He love the way she sang although she needed work. He had a plan to help her and to make her his first and only student.
