2 months after the fire in the Opera Populaire...
"Christine... Christine! Wake up! We're here." Raoul said uncertain that she was still asleep, He instead got up from the oppisite side of the carriage and shook her shoulder lightly
"What?" Christine said in a muffled tone, Still half asleep
"We're here." Raoul said sitting back down on his side of the carriage then turned his head 40 degrees right to look out the window. ' Wow' he thought ' Long time since i've been here' he cocked his head back to Christine to look at the half awake figure in front of him.
"Where?" She asked while trying to open her eyes.
"At my mansion."
"What... You said that we were going to a hotel." Christine said ' He lied' she thought ' He said that he would never lie to me! He broke his promise!' she thought feeling the anger build up in her.
"You're right.." He said as he got cut off by Christine.
"You disobeyed the promise you said that you would never break!" Christine said opening the carriage door and slammed it in Raouls face.
"Christine... Wait!... i'm sorry!" Raoul said opening the black carriage door that got slammed in his face, then ran after the figure that was running towards the mansion.
She turned around and paced up to him "We both promised each other that we would never lie to each other and you broke it!" Christine said glaring at him then walked really fast to the brown brick mansion.
She knocked on the mahogony door and a tan, red haired maid opened it "Oh... Madamosille Daae, we weren't expecting you until next week." The maid said suprised that she was in the prensence of the famous Opera soprano.
"Well Monsieur De Chagny changed plans." Christine said turning her head to see that Raoul was really close now. " May I come in?" Christine said in a rushed voice.
"Yes of course." The maid said as she stepped aside "Follow me, I'll show you your room." She said walking up the stairs frequently looking back to see if Christine was following, she lead her up the stairs to a bedroom that had a dark red door, The maid opened the door with keys and opened the door,The maid handed Christine the keys and Christine mummered "Thank You".
Christine walked inside and saw the color of the wall, it was a rose red and the bed was a deep red and it had black curtains surrounding the bed, the room also had a mahogony dresser closet and desk. After surveying her surroundings she went and sat on her bed and layed down while sleep slowly consumed her.

At that same time...
Madame Giry walked down the halls of the Opera and watched how certain parts of the Opera was being re- built. She walked into the Prima Donna's room that used to be Christine's and walked up to the mirror and pushed it open and slipped inside.
She took a torch and walked down stairs and halls that were filled with squealing of rats and cobwebs, finally she got to the lake and lit the lantern, put out the torch, set it down and got in the gondola, she rowed it through the alley and finally got to the gates which were open for the first time in two months with all the police and investagators looking for evidence of where the 'Phantom of the Opera' went, she reached the edge of the water and got out and looked around for the infamous Opera Ghost.
"Erik!... Erik!" Madame Giry said in the darkness because all the candles were not lit, knowing that he was still in cover because of the police
"Its me, Madame Giry! " She said, suddenly all the candles were lit and he came out of a dark corner, he was dressed in a full black dress coat, black pants, his undercoat was brown and his shirt under the undercoat was white.
"Thanks for coming Madame." Erik said in a stern low voice, his eyes still adjusting to the light.
"Your Welcome, why did you summon me?" she asked 'Usually he never needs my help, but of course since the police are after him, he needs more help then he needed before' she thought
"I need you to deliver this for me." Erik said pulling out a white envelope and paced in two steps towards her and handed the envelope to mind slid instantly to Christine in the Vicomte's mansion, but he dismissed it. She was safe, Madame would see to it that she could be safe. Nevertheless, he could not shake the feeling that something had changed, that the balance had tipped against himself. He just did not know how, and the feeling filled him with foreboding.
"This is the Vicomte's address, why?" Madame Giry said puzzled
"Because Christine is with him, remember?" Erik said growling quietly to the mention of his name.
"Oh... Yes, its just been a long time since i've seen them." Madame Giry said suddenly missing Christine more then ever.
"Well heres your chance to see them and how they are doing." Erik said as Madame Giry heard longing in his voice and guessed it was for Christine. He made a flicking motion with his hand to dismiss her.
"As you wish Maestro" She said bowing then turned on her heel and walked down the concrete steps and stepped into the gondola and rowed away.

Christine woke up and yawned finally realizing its morning, she got up from her bed and went in the bathroom to see everything was marble and she stared in awe for a few minutes until finally she snapped out of her trans- state and took a shower and then after 5 minutes she got out put a towel over her and walked out to her bags and pulled out a simple white summer dress that left her arms bare but had a full length skirt.
After taking care of her needs, she opened the door of her room and walked down the hall and down the marble stairs 'How much marble do you need in this house' She thought looking around the house as she walked. Christine walked to the kitchen and found all the maids making food
"Good morning Madamosille Daae." The Maid that helped her yesterday said grinning
"Please, just call me Christine." She said returning the smile
"If I am to call you Christine then call me Sophia." Sophia replied urging her into the kitchen, Christine followed her to a seat and sat down.
Raoul came into the kitchen fully dressed and seemed like he attended to his needs and found Christine sitting at the table and watched the food being served, Raoul hurried to the table and sat down." Christine." He greeted smiling
"Raoul." She said paying full attention on the food and not Raoul and just ignored him.
After the food was served and they ate in silence and cleared their plates, they walked to seprate rooms, Raoul went to the library, Christine went to a room with an old piano that hasn't been refurbished.
"Oh I can't take this childish nonsence anymore, Christine!" He said as he threw the book that he was reading down on the sofa and went to the room that Christine was in.
He stomped into the room and starred at her " Christine, look i'm sorry for what i've done yesterday, I know I broke the promise that we said we would never break, can you forgive me?" He asked
"Yes, I'll forgive you but... I'm not going to make you any promises anymore understand!?"
"Yes... I understand." He said " Oh... Um I have to go into town for a little while so I won't be back for some time and Madame Giry said that she would come and visit." He explained looking into her Choclate brown eyes.
"Okay, have fun!" She said finally relieved that he's gone. She got up and closed the door and starting thinking about some things.
