Chapter 1- The Phantom of the Opera

Paris 1881

I can see the opera house from where I am, it looks beautiful, but I don't want to go there I hate opera and I hate music. "That is not true," says my annoying conscience, "you love music with all your heart." No I once liked music, but I don't like it anymore," I say arguing with myself, again. "In your heart you still love music, music isn't what brought you all this pain, it was your father," says my conscience. My conscience is right, but I don't openly admit defeat. The only reason I started hating music was because my father always forced me to sing by being abusive ever since he found out that I was good to sing professional. Soon the world knew me as the best girl protégé in the world.

My father keeps walking towards the opera house and fast. He yells at me to keep up, tonight when I am with him I will be punished for being slow. When my father is walking up the stairs he runs into a man that looks persian. My father apologies for bumping him the man says, "no harm has been done."The man keeps walking when he passes me I look at him start in the eyes. It has been said that if you look into a person's eyes it is the window to there soul. This man soul seem to say sorry as if he knew what suffering I have been going through with my father. I feel tears staring to come to my eyes, I fight them back because I don't dare show my father any weakness. I look away from the man who is dressed so nicely and seems to be content with his life unlike me. Then my father tells me to hurry along. The man watches me, I feel as his eyes bore into the back of my head. I hear footsteps behind and know that they belong to the persian man. When I reach my father the strange man has caught up to me.

"Excuse me, sir," the man says addressing my father. My father just ignores him and pretends that the persian man isn't even there. "Excuse me, sir," the strange man says louder when my father keeps ignoring him. "What?," says my father seething with anger. "Sorry to disturb, but my name is Nadir and I would just like to warn you about the opera house you are going to be entering," says the man now staring intently at my father. "Go on," says my father who sounds like he is in a trance. "That opera house that you are going into is haunted by the Opera Ghost. You see in 1780 there was a singer named Christine Daee. The phantom at the time had been teaching her to sing beautiful music, more beautiful than an angel's voice. He had been teaching her since she came to the opera house. Over the years of teaching her the phantom of the opera fell in love with her, but another man also ruled Christine's heart. His name was Vicomte De Chagny better known as Raoul. Raoul had been Christine's childhood sweetheart. The Phantom tried to win Christine's heart by his voice, but he lost to Raoul. He tried one last time to win her heart, but he sees that Christine is truly in love with Raoul and lets them go. While this is happening the opera house is burning to the grounds. Christine and Raoul escape safely, while the phantom either said to have died or escaped and is still alive. It is most likely that he is alive because they never did find his body. Soon after the fire they rebuilt the opera house and it is said that the Phantom of the Opera moved back into the opera house never to be seen again, till now. Supposedly the Phantom has been up to his old tricks asking for money and killing someone if the mangers don't do as he commands. It is also said that he is looking for someone new to complete his music. Someone very much like your daughter is what he is looking for so be ware and keep your daughter close," says the man named Nadir. "What happens to my daughter is none of you concern, now be gone," says my father with a temper and a wave of his hand. Before Nadir leaves he says," You have been warned and may you pray that the Phantom is merciful to you." He looks at me one last time with sorrowful eyes before leaving. My father has already reached the top of the Opera Populair and yells at me once again to me to walk faster. I look at the beautiful opera house and in one of the windows I see a man with a white mask looking at me. I trip and fall on one of the stairs and when I look back at the window the man with the mask has disappeared.
