INTRODUCTION: HOW CHRISTINE CAME TO BE
Christine was far from a plain girl. Everyone one knew it from her old high school teachers to her friends. It was only Christine herself that only saw a plain girl. A girl with deep dark brown curls that splashed down her back. A girl with big brown doe eyes that made her seems younger. Not to mention, a small, petite figure that most girls would die to have. Christine saw none of this; she only saw a fairly ordinary twenty-four year-old girl. An orphaned girl at that; her father had been lost to her for over a year.
Now Christine was at the end of her line with no place to go. She felt as if living was lost on her. Sometimes she wondered if it would have been better to just die. Then she would have been with her father again, and then she would have ended her feeling of not belonging.
Christine was nearly at that point, she was beyond caring. Except for her fathers dying wish. The wish she knew she'd never fulfilled. Her father was a musician, a performer. A penniless one by the end of his life, but that had never stopped him from playing. He'd taken Christine with him to every performance, form a restaurant to a park. When Christine was old enough, she began to show some real talent. First she was keeping a simple tune, then to dancing, then to her voice.
What a beautiful voice she had. Her father always told her the angels wept at the wondrous creation her voice was. Christine never thought so; she heard people on the radio sing just as well. Her father promised her that her voice was much better than any of them had ever hoped to be.
Her father had tried so long to give her singing lessons, but he could never find the money. The day he died, the day she had turned twenty three. Christine was heart broken.
Now at the last of her hope, Christine tried to make it one last time. Since her father died, some deep part of Christine had died too. A part of her was gone that was made to love others and Christine will and stubbornness was finally running out.
That's the day she moved to Las Vegas, NV. That's when Christine's life would forever change. That's the day that Erik first saw her, even if she didn't know it…
Well, there's the first chapter. The chapters will be longer, closer to 1,000-2,000 words. This is just an intro, so it's much, much shorter. I realize this story is for a very specific group of readers (P.O.T.O fans) and I'm only requiring 1 review before I post again.
Just to let you know a little bit more about this story: Erik, Raoul, and Christine are going to be the main characters. These are the only characters from the original book planned at the moment. This story takes place in Las Vegas will take place at a fictional casino. This fan fiction follows the book in some ways, but not all, so don't be surprised if some changes occur.
