To Save You I Will Die (Phantom Of The Opera x Oc)

Chapter 9: Wandering Child

Delphine POV

She began to make her way from the center of the room to me. Each step more graceful than the next.

Her arms wrapped around me, our height perfectly matched. I smelled sunshine and slight chalk on her.

"My dear Chrissy, how are you doing. Let me get a good look at you," I said in a happy tone.

I cupped my hands, looking at her face.

Christine looks well. She is being well-fed and has a nice complexion.

This action did not amuse her, but she knew it was out of love.

"Do stop that. I am not a child," she said, somewhat bothered.

I looked into her eyes, "As a matter of fact, sister, you are still a child, and I do it out of love." kissing her forehead, letting my hands go.

She smiled a bit then went gloomy.

"Chrissy, what is wrong," I asked in a soothing tone.

She began to sit on her bed, looking down at her hands. "It is just that," her voice trailed off. "Oh, Delphine Raoul had not responded to any of my letters. Ever since Papa's death." She paused, now being even more somber.

I sat down on the bed, holding onto her hand, comforting her.

"Well, ever since then, he has not responded. It is like I have lost another person altogether," Her voice echoed out in pain.

I squeezed her hand, tilting her face towards my own.

"Hey, you have not lost anyone. You have me. You are a smart and beautiful person that does not need the likes of Raoul." I scowled at his name.

Christine should end up with Erik, not Raoul. He is going to ruin her with his bland personality and flirtatious behavior.

Christine smiled, but it was still somber. I grabbed my basket and gave her a bouquet of flowers.

Filled with pale pink roses and lilies wound up.

"For my Prima Dona," I smiled.

She grabbed the flowers, her smile radiating. Pressing her nose against the flowers, she began to sniff it.

"What do these flowers mean today, Delphine?" She was always excited to learn new things.

I reached into my basket and placed a book behind my back. "I don't think I should tell you?"

She scrunched up her face, upset. "Why now will you not tell me?"

I smiled at her anger... I then revealed the book.

"Because you can find them yourself? I bought this the other day?" I beamed in pride.

Christine grabbed the book and looked at the cover. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big squeeze.

"Thank you, Delphine! You are the best sister," her voice sang out.

It was great to see her so happy. Sometimes I often forget that this world was not a movie or some fairytale in a book.

Christine was real, and she had doughnuts and worries. As well as inspiration and goals. She was so full of life.

Even more, I believed that Raoul's presence would suffocate her. She was not meant to be in a cage.

That is why I was even more sure that I was doing the right thing by setting them up. Erik deserved her after all the hardship he had gone through and the same with Christine. She had gone through so much pain that no child should go through.
