The house lights slowly dim. She stands deceptively still. Closing her eyes she runs through the routine one final time in her mind. As her eyes open the soft murmuring of the audience fades and the orchestra awakens the opening song with tenderness and hopeful anticipation. Pressing the tip of first the left toe shoe and then the right into the rosin box she bows her head for one more precious moment with God, seeking blessing for all the performers this evening. As the stage lights blink their welcoming embrace she squares her shoulders, raises her chin, lifts her arms to position and a smile bursts forth from the depth of her soul....

This is my first story writing on my phone so you'll have to excuse my spelling errors. This is a Phantom of the Opera x oc. There was young girl who was studying to ballet who went to a traveling fair. Her group was guided to a tent that had "The Devil's Child" in a cage. The worker took the bag off the poor boy's face to show the his face was deformed. The boy being around the young girl's age. The worker began to beat the boy as everyone laughed and had fun. Everyone but the young girl. Once the show was over, everyone started to leave, including the young girl. But she stopped to look back at the boy only to see him strangling the worker from behind with a rope. She hurried over and help the boy out of the cage as an angry mob started, calling the boy "murderer". The young girl hurried out with the mob following. She went over to the Opera House and opened a secret entrance for the boy to enter before running to the doors and went in. She made her way below the Opera House and found the boy where she left him and grabbed his hand, dragging him further and hiding him from the cruel world. This young girl was me. Roxanne Daae. Older sister to Christine Daae. And this is the story of how I fell in love with the Phantom of the Opera.
