Chapter 2: Figure In The Window

|Loralei's P.O.V|

I looked at them with an eyebrow raised "Who's here?" I looked at Lucille, then Francoeur. Suddenly, we heard the back door slowly creak open, whoever was opening it was trying to be sneaky about it. I was suddenly picked up by Francoeur and set inside of the piano, he set the lid down softly, closing me inside of it.

We heard footsteps walking down the hall, evenly paced, but long steps, whoever it was, had to have long legs... The door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall, lanky man stood in the doorway, who was promptly slapped by Lucille. "Raoul! Don't you ever scare me like that again! We thought some murderer had come into the cabaret!"

"Umm, can someone help me out?" said Loralei "This lid is a bit heavy for me." Francoeur came over and lifted the lid, leaning it against the piano. They gazed into each other's eyes for a moment, Francoeur getting lost in her deep blue eyes,with light blue specks. He shook his head, reached into the piano, and picked her up, bridal style, walking over to the couch and setting her there. 

"Who is this lovely lady?" Raoul said as he walked over and sat beside her. "This is Loralei, our newest musician" Loralei looked at Lucille, a wide grin on her face. "That is, if she wants the position" Lucille stated. "Of course! Ms. Lucille, I'd love to be a musician here at the cabaret!".

Lucille put her hands together, almost like a single clap. "Great, Francoeur, Raoul, could you help with setting up her room?" They both nodded. They all exited the room, Raoul winking before he closed the door.

|Francoeur's P.O.V.|

I smiled as I grabbed sheets and pillows, chirping excitedly. 'It will be fun having Loralei around' I thought. Then it hit me. She doesn't know what I am. I began arranging the bed, putting the sheets , pillows, and blankets on as neatly as possible. Meanwhile Raoul and Lucille were moving a small couch, dresser, and some other small items into the room. 

When I had finished arranging the bed, I walked over and opened the dirty windows, letting light into the previously dark room. The room hadn't been touched in a while, since it was mostly used for storage. I walked over to Lucille, and pointed to the bed, chirping excitedly. "It looks great Francoeur, i'm sure she'll love it!" She replied excitedly.

 I then pointed to my mask, with a much less excited chirp "Well, maybe she won't be afraid of you if she ever does see your face..?".I gave her a look that Plainly screamed 'Really....' "Ok, well, maybe she'll be a little scared, but you have nothing to worry about, you to are already on good terms, so as long as that continues, whenever you're ready to show her, you'll be fine!" I chittered excitedly at the thought.

|3rd Person P.O.V| 

After a while, they looked at the finished room, painted a royal blue, with stars on the ceiling. There was a dark blue couch, and a white dresser., and white bedside table to lighten up the Navy Blue blankets and pillows.

They came back into the room to find Loralei huddled into the corner, shaking, and her eyes wet with tears.

"Loralei, what happened?!?" Raoul asked as he and the others walked over.

"There was... something in the window"
