Erik: *finds me sobbing* Alex what's wrong?
Me:*continues sobbing* were almost at the end of the book.
Erik: Do you think that's a valid reason to cry?
Me: It's just I didn't it would already be here. I love these characters, and I don't want this to end.
Erik: well look at the bright side, at least you can write more fanfiction for Phantom.
Me:*sighs* you're right
Erik: of course I'm right, I'm Sherlock Holmes.
Me:*chuckles* you wish, enjoy the chapter.

A great tension filled the air, surrounding the opera house, for tonight was opening night of Don Juan Triumphant. I was in my dressing room, I looked in the mirror, this is my last day at the opera house, the last time I get to see my friends and family. I sighed, and turned around, to Valerie opening the door.
"You ready?" she asked as she sat down on the sofa next to the changing slide.
"You can say," she looked at me and I sighed.
"I'm just not ready to leave everything behind," she came and grabbed my arms, looking at my eyes, she exposed my scar and sighed.
"You won't leave everything, you'll have Erik with you, and we'll try to write," she hugged me.
"And if he upsets you, he'll have me and the others to deal with," I smiled at that, and broke the hug, might as well spend the rest of the day with my friends and family.
I started hanging out with Meg and Genevieve who decided to do since girly things like do my hair and paint my nails, I also did some customizing on their dresses, even their ballet dresses, for Meg I gave her golden trim on her ballet dresses, and for Genevieve I gave her rainbows, because even though only Meg knew this before, Genevieve is Biromantic. Next was Christine and Valerie, who took me out to lunch at a bakery sheen the road, and we ran into Clara, she told us she was gonna be at the concert tonight, I was glad that I would at least see her in the audience tonight before I go. Finally, I spent time after lunch with Mae, Balder, and Brendan. We went all you over the town and even stopped by Aunt Louise and Uncle Gabe's, they also said that they got tickets, and are excited to see me on stage. After all that, I went back to my room, where Erk was waiting behind the mirror.
"Are you ok?" he asked as we sat down on the bed.
"A little, I am tired after my adventures today," he smiled and sat me on his lap.
"You had a lot of fun with them, didn't you?" I giggled at that.
"Well of course I did, this is the last day I'm gonna be able to see them, we had to make it special," he smiled, and he held me close to his chest, and the sound of his steady heartbeat, and his leveled breathing, I was fast asleep.
I woke up and realized it was about showtime, I got dressed up in my costume for Aminita, and got my makeup done. I was about to leave when I found out that the door was locked. I looked around until I went to the mirror, and father's face in the reflection.
"The fun has only begun my dear," he said with a smirk when I turned around, everyone I knew was on stage and dead.
"A MASSACRE FOR THE AGES!!!" I heard him yell throughout the theater. Then a shot rang out, and the world faded to black.
I wake up with a jolt and look around, I was under the covers which Erik must have done after I fell asleep, I looked at the clock, and realized I needed to get ready. I got out of bed, fixed my air, and walked to my dressing room, well technically I ran, but who cares. I got in and got ready, did my hair, put on my costume, and got my opening props ready. When I was done, Valerie opened the door, she came in, followed by Christine, Mae, Meg, Genvieve, you get the gist of it. The all sat somewhere, whether the sofa, a chair, or the floor, whilst I sat on the chair.
"You all had to get one last goodbye didn't you?" they all nodded, while I smiled.
"well let me just say, that these have been the best past few months of my entire life," we smiled, and we did a big group hug, even Balder and Brendan joined us. Soon we had to head backstage, Balder went to the catwalks, and Brendan went to the orchestra pit, everyone got into there respective places. Soon the orchestra started, I looked around at everyone and smiled, even to Mia, she was a little dumbstruck at that, which made me giggle on the inside, but the curtains opened and the opera began.
Here the sire may serve the damn
Here the master takes his meat
Here the sacrificial lamb
Utters one despairing bleat
Now Mia had to sing a small solo, and she was obviously trying to stand out.
Poor Young Maiden
For the thrill
Of the tongue
Of stolen Sweets
You will have to pay the bill
Tangled in the winding sheet.
Now the chorus joined in, I could see the audience from my point in the wings, some were grotesque at the opera, some listened without care, and soon I spotted Clara, who knew Erik's touch.
Serve the meal and serve the maid
Serve the master so that when tables plans and maids are laid
Don Juan Triumphs
Once Again
The chorus ran off stage, leaving the actor for Passarino, and enters Matthew as the esteemed Don Juan, and Mae, playing a prostitute. He threw her a bag of coins, and she danced off stage.
Passarino faithful friend
Once again recite the plan
The actor for Passarino was okay, but not as terrible as Matthew
Your young guest believes I'm you,
I the master you the man.
They walked downstage towards the downstage center exit(A/N: excuse my theater language).
When you met you wore my cloak
she could not have seen your face
She believes she dines with me
in her master's borrowed place
Furtively with scoff and quaff
Stealing what in truth is mine
Well it's late in modesty
Starts to mellow with the wine
I think I understand the plot, Don Juan and Passarino are attempting to switch places, so Don Juan can get the attention of Aminita. Wow, that can be relevant on so many levels.
You come home I use your voice,
Slam the door like crack of doom
The actor for Passarino is actually good at singing notes with a sense of emotion, like he singing these lines with laughter, because they're thinking that this is a marvelous plan.
I shall say "come hide with me,
Where oh where of course my room"
I look around the stage, hopefully, my dream doesn't come true.
Poor thing hasn't got a chance
Yea sure I am a poor thing, but whatever, it not my business. Matthew puts on Passarino's mask as he sings.
Here's my hat my cloak and sword
Conquest is assured if I do not forget myself and laugh
They both laugh and Matthew walks off stage, as I walk on.
No thoughts within her head
But thoughts of joy
No dreams within her heart
But dreams of love.
The last note echoed throughout the theater, as I sat down, and start fiddling with the roses from the basket which I brought on stage. Matthew entered, but something was off he looked... taller.
Master?
I didn't know why this was off but it was confirmed when he started singing.
Passarino
Go away for the trap is set,
and waits for its prey
Erik was here, what? I didn't know but was actually kind of thankful because I didn't want to sing with Matthew. But the melodies started playing again. As I remember the first night I went to Erik's lair, and we wrote this song.
You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now
Has been silent
Silent
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind, you've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defense, completely succumbed to me
No second thoughts
You've decided
Decided
His voice was lulling me into a spell, I didn't know he could do, but this made me feel blissful, I want to go from this place and make him my own, but I have to be patient. He starts walking toward me
Past the Point Return
No backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end
Past all thought of if or when
No use resisting
Abandon thought
And let the dream descend
I was ready to do just that, but I have to remain sober, I look at Erik, and I can tell that he's battling with that as well. Erik comes and grabbed me from behind, burying his face in my hair.
What raging fire shall flood the soul
What rich desire unlocks its door
What sweet seduction lies before us
Past the Point of No Return
The final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets will we learn
Beyond the Point of No Return
Now it was my turn, so I conveyed my emotions through these next verses.
You have brought me
To that moment when words run dry
To that moment when speech disappears into silence
Silence
I have come here hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind, I've already imagined
Our bodies Entwining defenseless and Silent
Now I am here with you
No second thoughts
I've decided
Decided
I look at him, a fire of lust and love in my eyes, as I continue singing, the part that I made.
Past the Point of No Return
No going back now our passion play has now at last begun
Erik and I went to opposite sides of the stage, where we both were at our own staircase. Which we both start ascending
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question how long should we two wait before we're one
When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom
When will the flames, at last, consume us
We both reach the top of the steps, as we face other, a desire on both our faces and now we can, at last, feel each other's touch again.
Past the Point of No Return
The final threshold
At this we both reach, Erik turns me around and touches my stomach, his hands on mine.
The bridge is crossed
So stand and watch it burn
We've passed the Point of No Return
The music fades out as were in each other's arms, but Erik starts going a bit off of the script, signaling something was wrong.
Say you'll share me with me
One love
One lifetime
Lead me
Save me from m solitude
Say you need me with you here
Beside you
He turns me around and looks me directly in the eyes, a look saying we need to go.
Anywhere you go let me go too
Raina that's all I ask of-
Like in all my dreams, a shot rang through the theater, and my world faded to black. And the fun was only beginning.
