Chapter 1- The Vision

14 LONG HOURS later…"this is your captain speaking, we are now making our descend into Paris, France"

France….whoopee I thought as I leaned back into my seat. I was on important business and in important business I mean…getting away from the bullies at my school. So I decided to go to France for a while. I've been away from home plenty of times. No big deal! It's better than hearing boys yell your most stupid fear in the halls.

I got off the plane and headed down to the metro. But I couldn't read or speak French diddly squat so I used my best judgment to find my way around. Not having any luck, I ended up in a local cemetery. Great…Dead people all around me and I am lost in a huge ginormous city.

A man suddenly appeared to me in what looked like a jesters outfit. "Uhhhh…ME NO SPEAK FRENCH" I said slowly hoping he'd understand. "Ah! A tourist!" he said with a warm smile. My jaw dropped. "You speak English too?!" "But of course! My name is Clopin! Bien Venue a Paris. Welcome to Paris" he said laying a kiss on my hand. I stood there in shock. "Umm…I am…Allie…" I said unsure if he were creeping me out.

"You seem lost…you may stay with us for tonight" he said. "Thanks" I said grabbing my drawstring backpack. He led me to a crypt. I knew it! He's a ghost! I thought to myself. We went down and I saw light. He led me into this huge square with many people. "welcome to the court of miracles" he said with a bow. I became skeptical when I heard that. "the court of miracles…why does that sound so familiar!" I said. That's it! My grandfather told me of this story! Of the Hunchback of Notre Dame! They came to the court of miracles!

I slept in what was some type of cot. Not that comfortable but it would do.

*middle of the night*

I bolt upright screaming and panting. Everyone heard and awoke to my screaming. The lights were lit and I was shaking and breathing with fear. Clopin rushes over to me. "Allie Cherie whats wrong!" he said holding my hand. Tears fill my eyes.

"I saw…a dark man! I was in a big church and it was a battle! And then I saw…it was a priest! He was in what looked like a dress….some goofy hat..and….a-and…white hair! He jolted at me with black shadowy figures behind me and I woke up!"

Clopin looked in shock. "He's coming back….HES COMING BACK! Allie DON'T YOU KNOW WHO YOU JUST SAW?!" he said grabbing my shoulders. "Who!" I asked. Clopin looked to the others. "the spirit of jean claude frollo…he's coming back to haunt us. We must prepare!"

"Prepare for what!" "The return…of Frollo"
