Chapter 1: Curiosity

Meg and her backup dancers were exhausted as they took a break from rehearsals but as usual their break was short lived when Meg's mother instructed them to get back to work. It was only two weeks until the new season's opening night and Antoinette was striving for nothing less than perfection,

"I shall have you working all night if I have too. Perfection is not developed with constant breaks" she snapped causing all the girls to frown tiredly... Suddenly one of the dancer's screamed in fright,

"A RAT!" she screamed, causing her fellow dancers to also begin screaming in panic as they rushed around, climbing up to a higher surfaces; Antoinette shook her head, placing a her face in a hopeless hand.

Erik watched from the shadows of the rafters with an amused expression behind the white porcelain half mask on his face as he shook his head before heading off through one of the many secret passageways and back to his office.

Amelia had heard the dancers screaming and had come running to see what the trouble was; She couldn't help but smile with soft amusement at the sight of the source of the dancer's distress,

"It's not a rat. Just a little mouse" she corrected, using her apron to gather the timid creature carefully,

"kill it!" Meg ordered with a terrified squeal that made Amelia frown,

"Kill it?... I shall do no such thing" she refused before heading off to release the little creature somewhere far away from the concert hall where it would be safe.

It was that night that found Erik in his office once again struggling to compose due to lack of inspiration; The masked man sighed as he rubbed his aching temples before hearing a timid knock on his door that made him smirk in amusement. He turned his head to look at the clock sitting across the room... 30 minutes past 11 on the dot. Every night at exactly the same time would bring the same timid knock upon the oak doors of his office... Erik opened his door cautiously and smiled to find his usual tray of treats sitting on the floor before him.

He brought the tray inside before closing the door behind him and placed the tray on his desk before retrieving the usual card that sat among the goodies,

'Pull the service cord if you need anything else ~ Amelia' - The cards always had the same message and Erik found it endearing. He never pulled the service cord but yet the message never changed but it made him happy in the knowledge that Miss Monston would always be listening for the service bell's ring in case he ever needed help... Erik couldn't help but wonder if the day would ever come when Miss Monston would ever hear that bell's ring.
