Part 2
Elysian fields, the birds are singing
Your words in my ear are ringing
Will you still remember me?
When my tears fill my empty soul.
I need you, the sun rises in my heart
Forgive me, when we two are apart
Betray me, when we two are near
Love me, as your heart loves mine.
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
My heart is sincere, I wish you were here
But somehow we are still apart.
Love says goodbye
The heart says you don't belong
My soul tells me to stay
But my heart tells me to fight, for you…
"Bravo Emma! Such a wonderful voice, such gusto, such grace" the voice of Jean Rochard roared through the auditorium as the young girl blushed due to the unexpected praises. Jean Rochard, was the owner of the Royal Hall of London and he was auditioning new talent for next season's opera.
"Up next monsieur Rochard, Christine Daee from Liverpool" A thin man stood up on stage.
"Ah, Miss Daee! Come on, step right up" retorted Rochard to Christine.
"You are very famous in and around France and of course London. No needs to stress why, what are you going to sing for me today?"
"Valero, the sonata from act 1" said Christine as she handed the music sheet to her accompanist.
I see you like a stranger in the wind
I see the force that you possess within
Those eyes, those horrible eyes
That distorts your look and your soul.
(Christine looks down) If all the words that you said were true
Then come back to me, to this I'm not untrue
(Tears roll down her cheeks) my heart is missing and empty
My tears roll down aplenty.
Love you every day I see you
The more and more I long you, I need you
My soul is filled with joy, when I look to the sky
And I see you… I see you…
Rochard felt a knot form in his throat. This voice was the voice of an angel. The lights went off in the theater and Christine could not see anything at all. This feeling of dread was all too familiar to her; she longed for it.
The creature approached a young lady at the corner of Bismarck road. The young lady saw a figure all dressed in black with a hat and a mask perhaps? She started running to where there were people. The figure suddenly appeared in front of her and spoke.
"Calm down my child, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you" he spoke in a sweet soothing voice as the girl stared right at those fiery eyes and that mask. She knew that this man was up to no good.
"What's your name?" he asked
The girl replied with her voice trembling "Emma"
"I know" the figure said whispering in her ear as she felt her knees buckle giving way to oblivion.
