Christine Daee

It has been four years since joining the opera ballet and finally I feel recognized, I just received the best part in Hannibal. Too bad La Carlotta will destroy the beauty of the performance. The production will not occur until the spring which gives us plenty of time to prepare, more so than we have ever had before. There is a rumor going around that the opera is to be sold. I'm sure this is the reason for the lateness of the production, but truly I do not care. I am floating on cloud nine.

Something strange happened today, I had just received word of my promotion for the show and had to run back to the dressing room to change out my slippers. I heard the music from the stage and I started singing. Slowly the hairs on the back of my neck started to rise and I got the feeling that I was not alone. As soon as I became aware of the force that was in the room with me a man completely dressed in shadows approached. "Mademoiselle I am your Angel of Music, your voice is beautiful but untrained. Allow me to teach you so you may one day become the greatest singer in the Opera Populaire!: I was shocked that such an offer was made, I remember my father telling me of the Angel of Music and I knew that he had sent him just for me. I gratefully accepted his request and I cannot wait to begin my lessons. He told me he would come to me but I am so anxious that I wish to start right now!

Madam Giry is calling now I must go but soon I will be the greatest singer the Opera has ever known! I just know it.

Keeping her safe has proven to be a very difficult task, ever since her father passed I have been trying to find a way to honor his wishes. I did not want to send her to the opera house that my brother currently protects, he proves to be the jealous sort. If he knew what she meant to me then he would surely try to trap her in his own demonic world. Her father would not be appreciative if that ever happened.

I know I need to get her to Giry, she has always been a constant companion of mine here in the human world, and I know she must stay here. If I were to take her to my kingdom now I would have to turn her into a goblin and I cannot do that to her. I love Christine, I have always loved her. When I saw her on the beach those short months ago I knew in my heart she was to be my queen. I wish so desperately to tell her the truth, but I am too newly crowned I cannot risk my kingdom for that of a human just yet. I need to go to my kingdom even now to protect it.

I will take her to Giry tonight and she will be well taken care of. I just do not know how to approach her. She loves the Opera House, I do not think that she will leave it for one little wisp of a girl. Even her daughter Meg loves to be there, it is like a playground for her. Why do I put myself in these situations, even when I was a prince I feel for every girl whom crossed my path. I know that she is different, she has always been different. With her I feel ready to take on the challenges of my Kingdom. This decision will never be an easy one, but one that I must make all the same.

Madame Giry

That insensitive fool! I cannot believe he asked me to watch one of his prizes, I do not care how much he cares about her. All he does is think of himself, he wants to take my family away from all that we have known, all that we have cared about. How am I supposed to bring this up to my Meg, she will be heartbroken. She has fallen in love with everything here.

I cannot do as he asks, I do not mind raising the child but I cannot leave my life. I do not care about his promises, nor his feelings for the girl. Her life will be fine here, I do not suspect it to be any different than what she has been raised with now. How selfish of him to ask her to leave her own comfort as well. I do not think he knows what he asks of us all. He just expects us to jump at the sound of his voice. He does not realize we are not his subjects, I am as human as these children are and he thinks that I am one of his goblins.

That is it, I am staying here! I refuse to listen to the spoiled child that he is. He will be in his kingdom for the next ten years and we will stay he can deal with his own problems when he returns. Until then she will be a ballerina, she will learn the ways of the opera and all will be well.

An: Hello there readers! Here is my newest installment on the crossover, I've been on a roll with my crossovers today. I cannot wait to see what you guys think about the story so far, ttyl!
