Good evening my fellows! Today I have decided to begin a Phantom of the Opera story titled "Just a Single Rose" I can't wait to engage in the shivering events and music originated by Andrew Loyd Webber's brilliant classic! I won't be doing author of the day in this story because it is really just an extra story I thought of doing for fun. I really hope you enjoy, and now for the moment you all have been waiting for…
Just a Single Rose
Chapter 1: The Spirit of the Phantom
Christine Daae, a famous opera singer, was going about her normal day in the brand new opera house, managed by her long time mother figure, Madame Giry. Meg Giry, the lead dancer of the opera house as well as Christine's best friend, came toward Christine with her eyes full of fear. "Christine, there is a presence in the air. Do you feel it? Does it not seem familiar?" Christine closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Something inside of her pierced her soul, although she couldn't quite tell what it was. "No Meg. I'm afraid not. The opera house seems as bright and beautiful as it has been since it was built. I'm sure there will be a great crowd tonight, considering our brand new chandelier with the cost extremely high."
Meg put her hand on Christine's shoulder and gazed into her sparkling eyes. "Your voice shall be lovely tonight, and I assure you the Vicomte De Chagny shall attend." Christine smiled and held Meg's soft hands. "You are very dear to me my friend." Meg and Christine exchanged smiles until they were interrupted by Madame Giry. "Meg my dear, the show is going to begin any moment now! You must take your place on stage! And Christine, your dress has been prepared in your dressing room, and it is highly advised to begin dressing. Ten minutes!"
Madame Giry exited the room, as Christine began to drift off to her dressing room. When she arrived, she discovered a beautiful red rose lying on her vanity. She smiled to herself and began to think of her kind and loving husband. She gently stroke the soft petals of the flower and finally sat at the vanity. After dressing, she walked swiftly toward the stage in her lovely dress and sang the carefully written music made for her. As she sang a very dark moving song, she felt alive, saturated by the music, without a care for anyone watching her.
The crowd applauded at the end of the show, cheering the name of Christine Daae louder than they ever had before, but when Christine looked up to her husband watching in the crowd, his eyes were full of fear. Before the curtains, fell she saw a glimpse of box five in the opera house, and though no one ever sat in it because of a fear of an opera ghost, there just so happened to be someone looking onto the stage.
The curtains then fell, blocking Christine's view of the audience, and Christine decided to see her dear husband, Raoul Vicomte De Chagny, a kind and loyal man who had once turned her eyes away from the darkness of a misleading figure known as the phantom of the opera. Raoul was finally spotted through the crowd, and christine held tight to the rose she had found on her vanity.
"Raoul! Raoul my love!" Raoul saw his wife calling his name, and tried his best to look pleased in her presence. "Hello my darling! As usual, you shined brighter than the sun!" Raoul leaned in to kiss Christine's rosy cheek. Christine brought in front of her the lovely rose, but before Christine had a chance to speak, Raoul took her hands. "Christine, to tell you the truth, you were surrounded by the music tonight. I haven't seen you so deep in thought since…" Christine tried to draw Raouls attention to the rose she held in her hand. "Dear, I wish to speak of this no longer. I came to thank you for this meaningful gift" Raoul looked deep into her eyes. "Christine, you know how much you mean to me, and I would willingly gift to you a rose any day, but I must admit that this gift was not from me."
