Prologue

The Opera Populaire

"Go!" he screamed at her at the docks... the boat was leaving

"But it's your ticket! And I can't go by myself!" Erin sobbed shaking

"I promise I'll meet you at the Opera Populaire just go" and with that he pushed her on the boat.

Erin O'Lorcain stared at the Opera Populaire with dread. It was a beautiful place! But the rumors of the Phantom of the opera scared her. It had been burned down two years ago. And yet it looked the same as the paintings of the old one she saw at her grandmother's. She didn't want to be here but he had told her to meet him there. She would have to get a job. Maybe they would hire her as a dancer! Even though she had a beautiful voice she knew they would not want an inexperienced singer like her.

She looked around Paris in awe. It was much different then Ireland. She smiled at the people walking in the streets. This place was much different then home. Even though she had grown up in Ireland she could change her accent to fit where she was. She didn't mean to do it, it just kind of happened. And even though she was in France she had a British accent. Her French accent was a little shaky. Realizing she was just standing there she quickly ran up to the Opera Populaire.

Slowing down as she entered she walked in and was greeted by the managers. "Why hello child!" the large one smiled "are you lost?"

"Umm… no" Erin replied almost in a whisper "Hi my name is Erin O'Lorcain and I was wondering if I could have a job? I mean I don't need a big job. Maybe I can dance?"

The tall lanky one put his hand on her shoulder "You are in luck! We have just lost a dancer and were looking for a new one! My name is Andrew Beaufort and this is"' He gestured to the very large man, "Walter Chubb", she secretly giggled at the name.

"Nice to meet you Monsieur Beaufort and Monsieur Chubb. But I was also wondering if any rooms were available. I wouldn't live here for long! Just until my friend comes and gets me" Erin asked in a slightly larger voice

The two men stared at each other and mumbled something she couldn't hear. After about five minutes they turned around.

"Yes you may stay. I will personally show you to your room" said Monsieur Chubbseriously "but it will be Christine Daae's room"

Christine was the one who was haunted by the phantom! Her mind raced as she wondered what to do. She had to stay! If she didn't she would never see him again!

She turned to them and nodded and was leaded to her new room.

Hope you all enjoyed! i'll update soon!
