Chapter 10 (Friday Night Ghost Hunt)

(Elise)

I didn't believe Renee, I didn't know what to believe for that matter! Ghost or not I will get to the bottom of this, or my name's not Elise Aria Daae!

(Phillip)

She was in my lair! She was actually in here! I walked over my piano.

'She actually played my piano!' I thought.

I touched the keys, looking over the piece I wrote that she played.

'I didn't know she could play piano as well! She actually played my music! It sounds so much more lovely when she plays it.' I mused.

"She sings, she's a violinist, and now a pianist. She's gorgeous, lovely, and all around wonderful. Yet look at me, too afraid to even show my face." I spoke.

"Would someone so lovely even want to meet me, this creature hidden away from the world?" I questioned myself.

I ran my fingers through my hair and took off my mask. I walked over to the full body mirror I had. Looking at my reflection I clenched a fist. Feeling tears well up in my eyes I threw the mask at the mirror.

(Elise)

I scurried off to bed, my mind full of thoughts rushing through. I quickly got into my pajamas and hopped in bed. I turned off the lights and drifted warmly off to sleep.

I was running, running for my life. I was in the opera house. I tried calling out for help but I had no voice. I was alone. It was dark and cold. I stopped and found myself at the doors that led to the outside of the opera house. I quickly grabbed the door handles. I was struggling to open them.

It felt like everything was in slow motion. What was coming after me?! I finally got the doors open! I ran out stumbling with every step. I fell to the gravel pavement. Looking down at my bloodied hands I tried calling out again. "Help! Please somebody!" I looked back to see my chaser. My eyes widened in shock. Matthew?!

I woke up gasping for air. I had a cold sweat on my forehead. I couldn't stop shaking.

"It was just a dream." I whispered breathlessly.

(Phillip)

I couldn't sleep. I walked throughout the opera house to try and distract myself. Suddenly I heard something coming from Elise's direction. I decided to investigate.

"Help! Please somebody!" She whimpered.

I opened the door quickly to discover she was having a nightmare. I longed to wake her up from it and comfort her, but I couldn't. I stood next to her. Suddenly she gasped and sat up.

I fell to the ground and rolled under her bed as quickly as I could hoping she didn't see or hear me.

'Great I'm under her bed again.' I mentally sighed.

Elise was gasping for breath. She sounded relieved but almost about to cry.

"It was just a dream." She whispered to herself.

'I wish I could comfort her!' I thought.

Several minutes passed and my eyelids started to grow heavy.

'Well this certainly is a very tedious situation I've gotten myself into.' I admitted to myself.

Helplessly giving in to my tired heavy eyelids I fell asleep.
