"On With The Show!" :>
For the next couple of weeks, the masked man visited me. Little did I know he was the Phantom of the opera AND Christine's Angel of Music. Our Angel of Music. Christine began to have me over during her music lessons as I listened and watch Christine sing with this Angel. I sketch out what the masked man looked like. His eyes were almost yellow but I sensed some hazel in them. Really bright hazel that it almost looks yellow.
Carlotta was having a party. That night, after I prayed, the masked man came. Through. My. Mirror.
"GAHH! AH! AHH!" I screamed.
"Shhh,SHUSH! SHHH!" He covered my mouth. And then he uncovered. Word of Advice: SCREAM LOUDER WHEN SOMEONE UNCOVERS YOU MOUTH!
"WHO ARE AND WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" I yelled!
"Shh, I am Christine's Angel and the one who saved your life. I want to know who you are." His voice was deep. He almost had an accent. Scottish or Scandinavian.
"I am Y/N L/N. Christine's oldest and best-est friend. Who are you?"
"I said it before."
"Yeah, but every angel has a name. Like Gabriel."
"My name is Erik. Erik Destler."
"Nice to meet you Erik. Erik Destler." I smile. He shook my hand. After that, Erik visited me all THE. TIME.
The following week, our manger retired and Monsieur Andre and Firmin took over.
"Sing for us Prima." One of them asks. Carlotta starts.
" Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again you long-" She was cut off by ANOTHER backdrop.
Ballerina's began to yell, "He's there! The Phantom of the Opera!" I stifled a scream when I discover right now that the Angel of Music, Erik, and the Phantom were the same man. I rushed off of the stage and into Christine's room. I heard a muffled "Think of me" with the voice of Christine from the distance. I made it to her room, opened the mirror, ran through the passage way, and then tripped. I've got to stop tripping, I thought before blacking out.
TIME SKIP
"Ugh, I've got to stop tripping." I was once again on the swan bed. No one was there. Monkey music box was playing music. Next to me was. Christine. Asleep. I found this kinda weird. :{. I pull out my sketch book from my pocket. Christine awoke. Even SHE was weirded out.
"It never happened." She agreed. Christine got up and went to the next room. After a while, I heard screaming and yelling. I look up from my book. And this is what I saw.
Christine on the floor. A mask in her hand. Erik on the floor with his hand on his left side of his face crying or something like that. Me looking at the two of them.
Erik said something but it was low.
Poor Christine had seen something un-see-able. She was in a state of panic and trauma. Like it was so bad that she had to go to a hospital. It was so bad that I had to be the page boy. My costume was nice, comfy, and warm unlike the dresses I use to wear. At least I didn't have and lines. AND this was practice. Christine didn't get any better so she decided to watch me in Ii Muto with Raoul, her sweetheart. Then Carlotta said she had plans on opening night so I was casted as the Countess.
Erik began to train me. Two weeks before the production, Erik said I was ready.
"I believe Christine is better now."
"I believe so. But I'd like you, for opening night to be the Countess." Erik wrapped his arms around my waist.
TIME SKIP TO OPENING NIGHT
Serafimo - away with this pretence! I sang.
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence! Christine and I pretend to kiss
Poor fool, he makes me laugh! Haha, Haha! etc
Time I tried to get a better better half!
Poor fool, he doesn't know! Hoho, Hoho! etc
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!
At the end of the production, Erik came into my room and we practiced. The following night, Christine was to play the Countess tonight but something happened. I was casted as the Page boy and Carlotta the Countess.
They sang while I played a mute. No offense. It was actually nice that I didn't have to say anything or else I'd curse. But let's keep it PG.
"Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?"
I looked up at Box Five,then screamed at the voice with sarcasm, "Sorry, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT?" The managers rolled their eyes at me.
" Your part is silent, little toad!" Carlotta hissed at me.
" A toad, madame?" I looked up to try and find Erik. " Perhaps it is you who are the toad..." We restart.
" Serafimo, away with this pretence! You cannot speak, but kiss me in my croak! Poor fool, he makes me laugh, CROAK!" People began to laugh. Andre came out from box five.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The performance will continue in ten minutes' time...When the role of the Countess will be sung by Miss Christine Daae! In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen we shall be giving you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera!Maestro - the ballet - now!" I rushed over to Christine to help her get dressed. Then Joseph Buquet hung. Everyone screamed. Someone grabbed me from behind!
"LET ME GO!" He and/or she dragged me to the roof. I was able to escape several times but they grabbed me. We made it to the roof.
"No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you." It was Raoul! Erik, as I figured out by escape 5 1/2, held on to me. Tight.
"Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you, here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me
Each night, each morning
Say you love me!
Raoul
You know I do
Anywhere you go, let me go to
Love me, that's all I ask of you." They kiss. Christine Daae and Raoul De Changy KISSED! I smiled. But Erik looked sad.
I must go
They'll wonder where I am
Wait for me Raoul!
Christine I love you!
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!
And soon you'll be beside me!
You'll guard me and you'll guide me." They hurried off. Erik and I, (I was pulled up since Erik still held me) from behind the statue
"I gave you my music
Made your song take wing
And now how you've repaid me
Denied me and betrayed me
He was bound to love you when he heard you sing
Christine
Christine." His voice was on the brink of cracking. He let me go. Christine had dropped the rose who a secret admirer gave her. Erik picked up the rose. He sobbed quietly. I went down to hug him.
"Y/n, I-." I shushed him. From the distance we could hear Raoul and Christine singing, " Say you'll share with me one love,
one lifetime. Say the word and I will follow you. Share each day with me, each night, each morning."
Erik was getting mad so I let go and ran.
