Angel Of Pain By: Mandi (OperaRose91)
Chapter One
Angelique De Changy sat on the cool, damp grass as the bright, yellow sun reflected off her brown, curly locks. Her big, doe, Hazel eyes focused on somthing in her hand. It was a letter on crisp stationary. She read the letter wearing a smile.
June 7, 1898
My dearest, sweet daughter,
I shall be home very soon. My travels are very tiresome and I hate it when I am away for you long. I shall be home for your birthday ball my pet. I have a fifteenth birthday present for your birthday on the tenth. You may not open it until then but even though you hate to wait you will be very pleased with it. I must say goodbye now pet. I miss you love!
Your loving father,
Raoul De Changy
Vicomte De Changy
It was now the tenth and Angelique could not wait any longer. Her father always gave her the most beautiful gifts and the curiosity was tearing at her. She yanked the bow that held the silk cloth together and what she found was the most beautiful necklace. It was a locket increasted with diamonds. On the back it said : To my Little Lotte. She opened it and inside was a picture of a beautiful woman and a dashing man. The woman looked to be sixteen or seventeen. Angelique knew this woman. This woman looked just like Angelique. It was her mother Christine De Changy. The Vicomtess De Changy. She knew the man also. It was her beloved father.
The day that Angelique was born, her mother, Christine, died from childbirth. But before Christine died she glanced upon her new daughter an said with her last gasping breath of life "Just like an Angel". And then she collapsed to the bed and died. Angelique once was curious of her mama when she was very young and asked why she wasn't there. Her father told the story with tears. Ever since then Angelique blamed herself for her mama's passing on. Angelique slipped her gift on her pale, delicate neck and softly began to sing in her extrodinarly beautiful soprano voice. Just like her mother, she possesed a beautiful voice. She sang as though she were Heaven itself.
Please tell me what you think. Chapter Two will be up soon.
