Hello everyone, so I figured I should add I need to add instability, because as for now the entire thing has been smooth sailing, and that is not real, that is fairytale land, so I need to add this to make it interesting, don't know how this is gonna pull off but, anyways enjoy the chapter(I hope).
_______________________________A Few Weeks Later________________________________
I walk through the halls of the opera house towards my room. I stay alert, in case someone wants to find me. I walk in and lock the door, looking to make sure that no one was here. I sat down on my bed, trying to listen to the music in my head, but the melodies weren't there. I set the music down and started doing my hair, trying different styles. I gave up on that as well, wow it's a lot harder to find something to do without interaction, but at least the others are safe. I got up and went to the next rehearsal, and things ran as normal, but my voice hasn't been up to it's potential, and others were noticing it. They thought I was sick so they excused me early. I sat in my room and decided that I should get some fresh air. So I walked outside, and went to the park and sat by a tree. Why does this have to happen? I should probably talk to someone like Valerie or Erik or even Mae or Brendan or Balder. No, I need to stay solo, it safer for them, even if I suffer, at least they'll be free.
"Are you okay miss?" A woman asked who was kneeling over me.
"Yes Mame, I'm ok, I was just thinking," I reassured her, she nodded, looking back a few times, and walking off. I think I should head back. I started walking back and, let's just say it wasn't pretty. I came into my room, with a few scars and bruises, it seems father sent more assassins to hunt me down. I lay down in bed after changing and closed my eyes.
I was up on stage singing better as if my life depended on it. And it seemed it did. In the middle of my singing, I heard gunshots, I saw my father's wild eyes up in the dome of the chandelier. I turned to see everyone dead in their seats, I backed up, into something. When I turned around, all of my friends and family, included Mia and Mother were hanging from the ceiling, and the one I hit was Erik's, I sat on the floor crying, but what I didn't realize was that father was right behind me with a gun. A shot rang out and everything went black.
I jolted upright, but quickly calmed down this hasn't been the first time in the past couple of weeks that this had happened. Actually, when I discovered my father killed Zar because of me, they happened, every time I tried to sleep. But I got used to it at one point. I took a deep breath and looked to see it was 7:00 in the morning, wow that dream was actually a wake-up call(A/N: who else has those?). I got up and got dressed only to be greeted by someone knocking at my door.
"One second," I yelled at who was knocking, and soon I answered, my friends never bothered me now, they seemed to think I needed some time to myself which I appreciate. So when I opened it, the person was Monsieur Andre.
"Forgive me the intrusion mademoiselle, but you have a visitor," he said. I looked at him in confusion, I never had any visitors, period.
"Of course, I will be down in a few minutes," I said and closed the door after he left. I look at the mirror, who would want to see me? What if it's him no he would send someone. I guess I could find out. I opened the door and walked down the great hall, I would assume because this is the way that Andre went. I walked down the stairs to find Firmin and Andre were talking, to the woman I met in the park.
"Ah, here she is, let me introduce Miss Raina Indra," I smiled as we shook hands, and I escorted her to my room.
" A beautiful place you have, I remember when I was here, part of the ballet," she sighed as she sat down on a chair.
"Is there something I did? why did you follow me?" she looked at seriously after I said that.
"I came because we need to talk," I backed up, but she stopped me with these words.
"Don't worry, I am not working for your father," how did she know about my father, only some of my friends know about it, wait. Brown hair, slightly tanned skin and chocolate colored eyes.
"Clara?" she curtsied, I can't believe it, why would Valerie do this?
"It was not my daughter who brought me here, it was Erik," I grabbed my arms and turned away.
"Raina, why are you hiding? why have pushed everyone away?" she asked, I sat down on my bed and remained silent.
"Please if you can't tell anyone of your friends, at least tell me," she pleaded to me, begging me to tell.
"If you really want to know, it's because of my father," she sat in front of me holding my arms and looking me in the eyes. She reached up to my hair, I hesitated but let, since I knew Erik's story, I let her. She pulled back my hair smiled at my scar.
"Just like him," she sighed and put her hand on my deformed cheek.
"I'm assuming that this is the reason that your father is hunting you?" I nodded and look down, trying to hide my scar, but Clara's hand was still there.
"But that still doesn't explain why you are hiding," I sighed, I haven't told anyone except for Aunt Louise and Uncle Gabe.
"It's because of Zar," she looked at me in confusion.
"My father killed him, because of me," she sighed and sat next to me.
"But we could help you, why are you turning others away?" she placed her hand on my shoulder, but I pushed it off and got up.
"Why am I even doing this? Why am I letting you here? You should go before he finds you,"
"What? What are you even talking about Raina?" she yelled at me.
"You don't understand, if you are with me, you're as good as dead, if you're with me, you're signing your own death wish," I yelled louder at her.
"Don't you realize that this is what he wants, he wants you alone, he doesn't care he kills others, he just wants you, like this, alone and scared," realizing that she was right, I sat down on the ground and started sobbing. Clara sat down next to me, rubbing my shoulder to soothe me. Once I stopped I looked up at her, knowing what I wanted to do, she nodded. I walked into the stables, and found Raven, she whinned as I saddled her, and we took off towards the forest. Once I got to the pond I first looked around, it felt like forever. Then I started walking towards the tree.
You were once my one companion,
You were all that mattered.
You were once a friend and brother,
then my world was shattered.
I always thought of Zar as the brother I never had, someone who understood me, someone who was there for me. And when he died, the world seemed to break like a piece of glass.
Wishing you were somehow here again,
Wishing you were somehow near.
Sometimes it seemed,
If I just dreamed,
Somehow you would be here.
Wishing I can hear your voice again,
Knowing that I never would.
Dreaming of you,
Won't help me to do,
all that you dreamed I could.
I knew I couldn't hold on to the past, I have to move on, but keep his memory alive, love him, respect him, believe in him.
Passing bells and sculpted angels.
cold and monumental.
Seemed for you the wrong companion,
You were warm and gentle.
I stopped at the base of the tree and sat down near his grave, and looked at the name I etched in the bark, I can't move on, but I have to.
Too many years,
Fighting back tears,
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,
Knowing we must say goodbye.
Try to forgive,
Teach me to live,
Give me the strength to try.
No more memories,
No more silent tears,
No more gazing across the wasted years.
I looked up in the branches, and saw his spirit there, he looked at me with happiness and sorrow.
Help me say goodbye,
Help me say goodbye.
I looked down and started crying, the teardrops landing on my arms, and making rivers to reach the earth on which I sat upon. But the strangest things happened, the melodies came back, and they were playing a soft tune. Then I heard a voice singing, a familiar voice singing.
