Chapter 2
Raoul woke the next morning to somone knocking on his bedroom door. Come in already he shouted, he had never been a morning person.
His head butler Fransisco walked in timidly and said sorry to bother you sir but one of the maids found this in the young Mademoiselle room.
Raoul took the note from Fransisco and read
My dearest Raoul I am sorry but I can not be your wife. The life of a Comte's wife is not for me and do not deny it that your family has degraded me since we were young. I do admit in having deceived you but for the safty of your heart and your faith in me I can never tell you why.
Goodbye my dear friend
Christine. D
Raoul felt his heart breaking. The butler had long since fled the room not wanting to upset him more. Raouls pain soon turned to anger! how dare she leave him!!!
he had gone down to the bloody pit of that phantoms hell to rescue her. Where would she go anyway? no family, no home, since the Opera Popular was damaged beyond repair. She also actully believed his story that the phantom died. No the phantom had dissapeared by the time the mob got there, little Giry told him so when she showed him the white mask.
Wait he thought triumphantly, The Girys had literally raised her. Raoul smiled, he would go to the Girys and beg for her to see reason even if it meant running away from his family and wealthy lifestyle if thats why she fled.
(Earlier that night)
Christine stopped her horse at Madam Girys house. as soon as she knocked on the door it swung open to reveal Madam Girys Grumpy houskeeper Lucy.
What do you want can't you see its in the middle of the night? I am sorry to intrude but is Madam Giry or her daughter available Christine asked peeking over the womans shoulder.
No they're sleeping, which I was doing too until some noisy brat woke me up!
Christine was getting impatient can I see them or not? she folded her arms over her chest /a bad habit from her childhood./ May I ask who you are first of all Lucy said mockingly. sighing she said Christine Daa'e Madame Giry raised me.
Lucys eyes turned to saucers and said oh my goodness your the singer who hooked herself a rich man, my goodness if I had known you were here I would have not let Madam invite that strange guest into staying with us!
Christine did not know why but this peeked her interest, What Strange Guest she asked?
Its this odd little brother of Madam Giry's, Lucy said poor dear must of been in that fire at the opera the way his face is all messed up. Christine had heard enough to figure out who Lucy was referring to, and collapsed on the ground!!!
