Chapter 1
Beginnings
Like most people I am in love. Me, I am in love with a phantom. The Phantom of the Opera
house to be exact. Let me start at the beginning.
My name is Christine Daae and I live in the opera house. I am a ballet girl but I am also a
choir girl in training. My trainer is an angel of music. He has the sweetest voice ever heard.
He can sing better than anybody alive even better than the entire choir at the opera house.
"Now there is a big production coming up and I need all of you to participate." announced the opera house co-owner Vince VanRuth " The head ballet instructor has the cast list inform her to get a role on the cast."
I went over and asked what position I should fill in, but all she said was "ballet girl number five "
To be sure I was disappointed. I should have been in the chorus. I practiced for years for abig productions like this and now I had nothing to show for. I was angry but calm about my encounter. I walked up to her and said " Madame Girry I was hoping to be in the opera as one of the lead characters or at least in the chorus. "
" I am sorry Christine but that's all I have for you now go to the stage and get the routine from the conductor."
" Yes Madame Girry." Was all I could say. I was very disappointed. I could of at least sung soprano.
As I walked to the stage I caught a dark shadow moving around box five. Curious as I was I went to investigate.When I got there I saw a masked person sitting in the box. The person didn't turn around so he didn't hear me or he was just shy I couldn't tell.
Then I took a wrong step and ended up on the floor. He jumped up quickly and ran for the door but then stopped when he saw my face. He did the oddest thing. He started to sing. I knew that voice from some where, but where from?
Then it hit me he was my angel of music!
