Stranger Than You Dreamt It
Chapter 1: Wandering Child
Disclamer: I don't own Phantom of the Opera,but I do own my characters.But what difference does it make?I dunno.
A young girl stared at her reflection inside an abandoned dressing room. Her dark eyes moved towards the details of the tall and elegant mirror. The swirls, spirals and delicate flowers, all golden-encrusted. But something caught her eye, A…handle?, she thought. Her hand slowly reached for the handle, the sudden coldness of it made her spine tingle. She inhaled deeply, and pulled the handle sideways. Her eyes widened as the mirror slid across the floor, reviling nothing but darkness. She finally exhaled and stood in front of the passageway. She hesitated for a moment, stepping into the dark hallway. A soothing angelic voice was coming out of the hallway, luring the girl inside. "Wandering child, so lost, so helpless. Yearning for my guidance," it sang. Something furry past by the girl's leg. She looked down and saw that it was a black cat. The cat stared at her and meowed blankly, showing its dagger-like teeth. She kneeled down to pet it, but it turned its head and walked into the passageway, disappearing in the dark. Then a loud screeching noise echoed in the room, covering the hauntingly sweet voice. The girl covered her ears in pain, backing away from the mirror. After that, everything went black.
"Kat?" Alyssa called out. "Kat?" she said again, tapping the girl's shoulder. "Hmm…what?" she asked groggily, wiping some excess saliva from her cheek with the back of her hand. "Katherine!" Immediately Katherine sat up straight, her head pounding. "My head hurts." She muttered looking at Alyssa. "Yeah, I suppose it would be after you heard La Carlotta 'sing' that awfully high note in the movie," Alyssa explained.
"Only Carlotta could shatter someone's eardrums I suppose." Katherine stated. Both girls started to laugh. "Hey quiet down, back there!" came a voice from the front of the classroom. It was the drama teacher, Mr. Finke. Okay so his name wasn't really Mr. Finke, but he refused to tell any of his students his real name. So they came up with the name Finke. "Sorry Mr. Finke, it won't ever happen again." They both apologized sarcastically. Katherine looked back at the huge T.V. screen that was in the classroom. It was the last day of school, for Christmas vacation began, so Mr. Finke arranged an "Eat-Pizza-and-Watch-Movie' day. And when he asked what movie they should plan to see, Katherine stood up and yelled," The Phantom of the Opera! We must, I repeat, MUST SEE IT!" So he took her suggestion and got the movie. But poor Katherine, after all that fuss, she fell asleep when the Phantom was singing 'Music of the Night'. She frowned. It always does it to me, that song. Puts me straight to sleep, and now I have to listen to Carlotta croak. At least I didn't miss the chandelier crash down….Wait, am I thinking to myself again? As a matter of fact she was, but she did that a lot. Both girls sighed and laid their eyes on the screen, and watched the movie.
Well, that's the first chapter, please review! Thanks!
