-1Ch.2: A Boy from the Past.
Two days later, everyone was rehearsing for the next show, "Hannibal." "Firmin, are you sure we should perform this what if he is still here." Andre asked nervously. "Andre, please it's been 18 years and he has shown any sign of himself. He's probably dead." Firmin chuckled. "Very, well." Andre sighed. Carlotta began singing "Think of me" and sure enough to Andre's surprise nothing happened. "See Andre, nothing to fear." Firmin said. That night's Rehearsal went well, so everyone was allowed the rest of the night off till tomorrow morning.
While the Chorus girls sat in the dining room waiting for some lunch Meg Giry came running through the doors yelling to Madam Giry. "Their back, their finally back and they brought their son!" "Who is back, Meg?" Madam Giry asked calmly. "Christine and Raoul are back! We're finally going to meet their son." Meg cried excitedly. Not even 5 minutes later three people walked in. "Oh, Christine I'm so happy your back." Meg said running to her friend. "Meg, I'm glad to be back but I'm not performing any more." She said "Christine has given up singing publicly for Louis' sake." a man said taking Christine's shoulders. "Raoul is right ever since that incident 18 years ago I haven't been the same." Christine said.
"Is that Louis?" Madam Giry asked trying to change the topic. "Yes, this is Louis." Raoul said pushing his son forward. Louis was tall and broad like his father but he had Christine's eyes and smile. His brown hair went don to his ears and his bangs split on the left of his face. He was charming and somewhat familiar to Odette. "He just graduated from the Performing Arts academy in Versailles." Christine said proudly. "That's it!" Odette thought to herself "Louis De Changey, he was in her voice class. " She had to give up school early this year since her parents went broke.
Odette had always found him attractive but he never seemed to notice her. "It is nice to meet you all." he said sincerely. "Odette isn't he so handsome?" asked Odette's friend Marisol. Marisol stood at five feet 2inches tall and she had raven black hair that went to her mid back. She had glistening hazel eyes. "Yes, he sure is." Odette said softly.
At that moment the cook brought out a huge pot of French onion soup. And filled the bowls of the girls as they came to him. They all sat at a long table said grace then ate. The De Changey's joined them, Louis and his parents sat across the table from Odette, Meg, and Madam Giry. Odette sipped her soup quietly and slowly, she didn't look up at Louis or his parents at anytime. Once she finished her soup she took her bowl and brought it to the cook then left to her dressing room.
