~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It started out innocent enough. A red rose tied with black ribbon here, an eloquently written note there. Sometimes she would even find sheet music filled with the most captivating melody she had ever heard. But when her mysterious Giver of Gifts makes his intentions known, and The Phantom reeks havoc, she flees to her Angel of Music... Only to find them all one and the same. Trapped, she becomes incapable of escape, and is kidnapped in a matter of mere seconds. Haunting music floats through the beautiful mansion where she is held captive against her will. On a promise loosely made, she finds herself treated like a queen in return for letting a fire consume her like never before... This isn't being held hostage. This is Captivity Defined.

Approaching the old opera house was much more difficult than Christine Daaé had imagined. Not because of the fallen debris, or the scorched marble staircase she had to climb to reach the top. Nor was it the bittersweet memories that began to flash through a deep and pushed away piece of her consciousness when she managed to open the door that lead inside. No, what was difficult was the task she had set for herself, the entire reason she was there: to find Erik. (Editing)
