The Angels
Yes, I edited this story, as I did with To Love or not to love. I'll fix that one soon as well. I hope it is better now. Disclaimer: We ALL know that I don't 'The Phantom of the Opera' in any of these forms. Be nice it's my first fic.
Prologue, Paris, 1862
You alone can make my song take flight…It's over now, the music of the night…
The Phantom walked, defeated, over to his throne and sat down. He could hear the mob coming for him, so out of instinct, than fear he tripped the trap door and dropped out of sight. As he fell, he noticed something wrong, he fell too long. When he did stop he fell on to a very hard surface. Looking up, he saw two bright lights coming at him….

"Good Lord, Alice hurry up! You look fine. Come on or we will be lake to our own show!" yelled Ashley Knight.
A woman ran down the hall of their apartment "Sorry!" she yelled after almost knocking down a stand with some plastic red roses on it over. She flew into the living room to pull her boots on when she ran into her friend and band member Ashley, who was standing by the door.
"Hey Ash, sorry I'm late." She said as she pulled on her white knee high boots.
Ash looked at her watch and then up at her friend.
"About time you got here, James is shitting his pants muttering 'where the hell are they?' Come on Al, you're slower than a slug." Ash replied.
Alice rolled her eyes. "Oh please I am only 2 seconds late Ash. You're way too impatient," Alice commented.
"Am not." Ash muttered as she playfully shoved Alice and then laughed.
She was a singer; the led singer of their band, The Angels to be exact and Alice was her friend, also studying to be a singer, but wasn't exactly ready. So she was sort of like Ash's back up singer, which was very helpful at times. Plus Alice got Ash to laugh and be dumb at the times of the day when it could be stressful.
Alice played the bass guitar, while Ash played the violin and guitar. Ash's brother and Alice's boyfriend, James, played the synthesizer. They was great, they played songs from ALW's show tunes to rock to country to techno.
Both the girls rushed to Ash's car, and sped to a small restaurant, that was also a bar and grill. It was called Scott's Tavern, just a few blocks from Ash's apartment and two blocks from the State University, where Ash attended school. The night passed uneventful except that the owner and audience loved them so that they were asked to return next Friday.
"I can't believe it!" squealed Alice, "They ask for us to come back!"
Ash and James smiled and nodded. "Yes, this is great, oh Ash me and Alice are heading over to my apartment to study do you want to come?" James asked Ash.
"No. I am just going to head home and go to bed, classes at 8 tomorrow." Ash yawned.
"Ok. You are the only woman I know to arrange a class on a Sunday." Alice shook her head.
Ash just smiled and said good-bye and head home. On the way she let her mind wonder to the up coming play to her class is doing, The Phantom of the Opera. She wanted the part of Christine, because the vocals were in her range. And because she loved the story. As she thought some more, she almost did not see the man in the middle of the road. She gasped and hit her brakes. Ash took a deep breath and got out of the car. Walking around to the front, she looked down at the man she almost hit and gave sharp breath of air.
