CHAPTER#1

My friends and I laugh out loud (because of the stupidity of Raoul) as we watch Phantom of the Opera, AGAIN! It's pretty awesome, having friends that are obsessed with the same thing as you I mean, how much better can it get? We sing all the songs and continue to other musicals and then go back to Phantom...AGAIN. We're all having so much fun until it's my turn to go brush my teeth. But when I get to the bathroom I see something strange, a faint glow, it's small but I can see it. "Gosh! What's taking you so long?" I close my eyes and re-open them, the glow is gone."Nnnnnn... Nothing" " Hurry up!" My friends scream, as they rush into a fit of giggles. I brush my teeth quickly and run back to the room. " Finally Genevieve, you've been taking FOREVER!" says my friend Sarah who is probably as obsessed with Phantom of the Opera as me. We start watching Phantom again and I pull Sarah in the closet to tell her what I'd seen. She thinks I'm joking and says " Seriously Genevieve? You pulled me in here to tell me that you're afraid of the bathroom?" I try to tell her I'm not joking but she doesn't belive me.( Probably because of all the sugar she's had) I think.

The next day I see the glow again and this time Sarah is with me. She almost screams but I cover her mouth. Then, we see a figure of a person. We see the figure, it is some dark figure. I look horrified till I see his mask and yell"Alex (my brother)! This isn't funny!, Stop it!" But the masked man says "Bonjour Petites Mademoiselles." I look horrified and think of something to say.

( I do speak French fluently but, in this situation, it might not work) Before I can say anything, Sarah speaks up, "If your somebody who is crushing on one of us from school, the GO AWAY! Yes, we are both madly in love with the phantom of the opera but, that won't make either of us be madly in love with you!" The man looks at both of us, confused. "Come with me" he says. "Woah woah woah!" I say," Why are we going through the doorway again? Sorry but I'm not going any where with a stranger." The stranger smiles and reply's "Of course, but if I pull you through, it might not make a difference" we hear a knock at the door and Sarah and I yell in unison. "It's full!" "What's taking so long?" our friend Tifani asked. "It's almost time to eat breakfast." She opened the door and walked in. "Oh, my God!" she exclaimed.

"Let's just go!" the man in the mirror exclaimed. He reached through the mirror and grabbed us by the hands. Then, just like that, we were gon

GENEVIEVE'S POV

We're too busy kicking and screaming to realize where we were. But while I was screaming I didn't realize I was sobbing like an idiot. Sarah is quietly crying but, she is still trying to get out of the stranger's grasp. Tifani... Oh Dear, she is screaming at the so called "Phantom" that she could've married Draco Malfoy (from Harry Potter). Anyways, once I get ahold of myself, I realize where we are, (we're in a boat and I'm about to tip it over but THAT'S NOT THE POINT!) I look around and see an exact replica of Erik's lair. "Oh my god!" I exclaimed. "You mademoiselle's must be tired." He takes us all by the hand and leads us to, Oh my god! The swan room! We get in bed but, nobody really wants to sleep.
