Chapter Two – The Disappearance
Christine walked off stage from introducing the show. While she was on the stage she heard all sorts of strange noises coming from behind her. She was speaking in a faster tone than she had done in the rehearsals. She didn't feel safe up there. She was Glad that she wasn't on again till the third act.
"I didn't feel safe up there," Christine told Erik once she had came off stage "there was a weird echo coming from behind me."
"Calm down, I'm sure it was nothing," said Erik and gave her a hug "It was probably your imagination up there, just nerves."
"It wasn't my imagination, I know what I heard and it was there behind me on the stage!" Christine shouted back.
"I'm on now," said Erik calmly "I'll try and see if I can here it once I'm up there."
Erik walked forward through the double doors and up the stairs to the stage. The whole time he was on the stage he was trying to hear the strange sound which got Christine so worried. He could hear nothing apart from the clapping from the audience and the addition good comments he could here from them.
Just as he was saying his last lines the chandelier from above the stage came crashing down. Everyone in the opera house raced to the exits. The screaming and shouting coming from them was deafening.
Erik ran back to his dressing room to find Christine but she was gone.
"Christine!" Erik shouted a number of times but no one answered him.
Erik ran out the dressing room and checked all the other rooms which he could think she would be in. Christine was nowhere to be found. Erik cursed and raced outside to check there but he couldn't see past all of the evacuating people standing outside shouting. Even if Christine was out there she couldn't see or hear him.
Erik saw Glen the wardrobe designer and ran over to him
"Have you seen Christine? Where's Christine?" he demanded.
"I don't know," answered Glen, "I saw her running away with you when the Chandelier fell, by the way what do you think caused that?"
"Shut up!" shouted Erik back at him "what do you mean she ran away with me? I was still performing you fool. I couldn't possibly have managed to get off the stage in time and get her st the speed she disappeared!"
"Well, all I saw was you with your hand wrapped round Christine's wrist dragging her down to the basement." Glen said smugly
Erik didn't look pleased. He took off back into the evacuated opera house
The worried phantom sprinted down the long corridor leading to the basement door. When he finally got to the door it was locked.
"Damn!" Erik shouted.
Loud bangs could be heard. Erik was kicking the entrance door in. A few seconds had passed and Erik had entered the basement.
