Once upon a time, there was child
Little girl with music in her mind.
She was young, about seven in that time.
Her mother say "She's an angel",
but the husband say "She's not".
Half of her face could be the devil's
Yet the rest was right.
At the middle of night,
when time of her's was to come,
Sweet voice she heard in the air
like a Father she wish to have.
It knew her name, when it call her there.
"Little Phantalmina, I am here."
When her mother came she was already gone.
With her picture and music box she got.
In the dark into the night she walked with him.
Man who wear a mask, and the cape that was black.
He bring her in the place that you may have seen in the dreams.
"This maybe will scare you, but don't worry a thing.
In here you'll be safe and I'll make sure of it.
Because you're my daughter."
"Father..."
(year 1898 Halloween Town)
Town people was busy with preparations. It was two weeks before Halloween and there was alot of things to do. Soon they noticed a familiar figure coming. Mayor and Town's favorite King came to receive an old friend back. The Phantom of the Opera.
"You have come early this year, good friend" said Mayor.
"Usually you return day before Halloween." said Jack Skellington, The Pumpkin king of the Halloween Town.
"I know, my friends, but at these circumstances I had to come back for safety reasons."
Jack and Mayor got curious for what he said. And before they asked more, they noticed that something hiding under Phantom's cape. Phantom moved little his cape to a side so they'll saw little girl with a cape and hood on, around his legs. She tried to keep herself hidden near the Phantom.
"Who's this little creature?" Mayor asked.
"My daughter, Phantalmina."
"Your Daughter?"
"Well, she is a quite shy." Jack said. " Are you scared?"
"She doesn't have her mask. And yet she needs one." Phantom said and placed his hand on her.
"What? Does she have also... the...?" Mayor asked with his scared/Sad -face.
"Yes. If I didn't acted sooner, he would have killed her. That's why I'm here."
"To bring her here to safety." Jack guest.
"... And life here. She has a lot of talent, more then me." Phantom said and then pull gently out his cape. Little Phantalmina pulled the hood to cover the face and got little panic to be out from her father's protection, but she calm down looking her father and slow got others attention with her song.
Can you hear little voice
moving through the loud crowd
In that night when the moon
was a full like the lantern's light
Who will care to stop and see
what to do time like this
Not some cold or hard to feel
Just a song and dance if you please
While she sing, some creatures like a illusions appeared to dance with her music and so did bats and cats too.
Is it hard to ask or do
just a little act that would
make others to see
the beauty of song and music
People around just walked near by
like a shadows without a smile or cry
In that night when the moon
was a full like the lantern's light
It is not much what you now see
it's just one little song from me
Soon it's time to take a bow and leave
after this dance if you please
In that night when the moon
was a full like the lantern's light
When she stop her song dancers disappeared and animals went back to there places. Soon vampires, witches, werewolf and all other freaks give a big applause.
"Bravo!"
"Magnificent!"
"Chilling show."
"That was fantastic! She will fit well on Halloween, next years of course." Mayor said happily.
"I like to keep that on hold." Phantom said when his daughter walked back to him.
Mayor face turn back Scared/Sad side to hear that. But Jack was agreed with him.
"What ever you say good friend. Let the time go and maybe some time she will." he said.
Phantom agreed with his word. "I may leave again little after The Halloween, but she remains here in my place. All I will ask for you, is to look after her when I have leaved."
"We look after her like one of the members." Mayor said.
"Thank you. Now if you excuse me..." Phantom took music box out from its place and give to Phantalmina and lift her up. "It's late and she had a hard night."
"Of course. We can discuss more at morning"
Phantom wishes good nights and walked Phantalmina on his arm to his home. As they vanish in the fog, people could hear little when little Phantalmina sing with the music box melody.
Lala laa lala laa...
