Chapter 2 – Angel of Music
Wherein Aura is really sad and sings… a lot
That night, Aura had this really awful dream. In it, she was back at home, and her mom and dad were there, telling her that she actually had to cut off her beautiful and perfect hair! Aura pleaded over and over and over, but they totally ignored her, because of course they hated her. They were soo jealous that she was so gorgeous and smart and gifted and they weren't, so now they were trying to take even that away from her! Then they ran after her with scissors and knives, so they could cut off her hair and scar her perfect complexioned face.
Aura woke up with a scream, and sat up in bed. But she hadn't been sweating, because that is, like, so gross. Her evil parents were gone, and she was safely alone in the room. She smiled and pushed back her hair that was still just as lovely as if she hadn't been asleep at all. At last she was safe, and among people who could actually appreciate her for the perfect person she was.
Still, the dream had really scared her, so she started singing to calm herself down. It was a beautiful song, and really sad, and she poured out her whole heart into it. Besides, it was by Evanescence, so it was obviously beautiful and sad and generally the perfect song for her to sing!
Her voice was beautiful, and sad, and as she sang, everyone that was awake was touched by its inspired beauty and sadness.
Especially Eric, who was listening from behind the mirror, couldn't help crying a little, because he knew that she was someone who was just as sad as him.
Once she was done, she lay down and cried herself to sleep.
She was wakened up by a special sense she had, that someone was there. She always had that ability, ever since she could remember, and always knew when someone was around that she wanted or needed to talk to. That was why she would always wake up when someone was about to call, or always snapped to attention just in time to hear a teacher's question she needed to answer.
She hurried out of bed and threw on her dressing gown. She actually had a whole wardrobe already. There had been a whole stash of old costumes that fit her perfectly that everyone was glad to give her, and all the chorus girls had gladly given her their things since they knew that of course they'd look so much better on her than on them, so she was way more deserving of them. And of course they'd gone on a long shopping trip, and Madam Giryy had bought her lots and lots of really fashionable clothes.
Her dressing gown was one of her favorites. Part of it was because it was so pretty. It was made all of pink and silver and gold lace, and sparkled every time she moved.
But she really liked it because it was less confining than the other clothes. The top came down nice and low in the front, and had loose and flowing sleeves and skirt, and there was a really long slit up the side that went almost all the way up her leg. She loved imagining what would happen when Erick finally saw her in it.
And her very special sense told her that Eric was coming, and was even almost there.
She arranged herself on the couch so she'd look like she couldn't sleep, but was also in a really beautiful position that would be sure to attract him.
She moved her skirt around so it looked natural and at the same time had the slit reveal as much leg as possible. And they were very extremely lovely and slender legs, and were the same color as the rest of her: an absolutely divine creamy silky color.
At last, she could feel him on the other side of the mirror. She caught her breath gracefully as she waited.
That's when he started singing in his really hot and beautiful and sexy and heavenly voice.
Wandering child, so lost, so helpless,
Yearning for my guidance.
Listen to me as I sing to you,
Let me lead you in my dance.
Aura smiled as she listened to him. This was like totally worth it. But of course she still wanted to see him even more, and to touch him even more than that. She sang back to him.
Angel of music, I didn't know you,
I was so lost and lonely.
This is the first time I have heard you,
I wish you'd come to me.
Erik sang back to her.
Too long you've wandered in winter,
Dying for day after day.
Now I have come to your rescue,
I'll be here each day!
Aura swung her legs gracefully onto the floor and stood up. The skirt floated like a lacy cloud around her legs, and her hair cascaded like a shimmering sparkling waterfall down her back as she sang.
Angel of music! Guide and guardian!
Stay by my side, guide me!
Angel, I love you, I will follow,
Anywhere that you go!
Erick sang back in his dreamy voice.
Wonderful angel you shall know me,
See why I came to your side.
Look at your face in the mirror,
I am there inside!
Aura sang again, letting herself get into a wonderful trance, her emerald orbs shining joyfully.
Angel of music! Speak, I listen!
Grant to me your glory!
Angel of music! I must see you!
Let me see your face!
Eric sang back with his seductive voice.
I am your angel,
Come to me, Angel of music!
Aura started walking toward the mirror. It was glowing, just like if a million light bulbs surrounded it, and even shone from inside it. She put out her hand, desperate to touch Gerik.
Eric kept singing.
I am your Angel of music,
Come to your Angel of music!
Aura walked through the mirror, and her hand was immediately held in Eric's. She smiled and blushed prettily and followed him as he led the way to his home.
He was really really really hot. She'd already known he was from watching the movie a thousand times, of course, but in person he was much much better. His black hair was so shiny and glossy and smooth, and his entire body was so toned and chiseled out absolutely perfectly.
And his eyes! Everytime he looked at her with those beautiful dreamy enchanting eyes, she nearly fainted from their wonderfulness. The only eyes in the world that were better were her own.
Then he let her ride on his horse, and she leaned over farther than she really needed to so she could tempt him with her low neckline. She smiled radiantly as she saw him smile at her incredible beauty.
Then they got to the boat, and she gracefully sat on the bottom, carefully arranging her skirt again. She watched him with her deep emerald orbs as he rowed across the lake. He sang lots and lots of beautiful songs, but she cared more about his voice and how absolutely wonderful and handsome and perfect and absolutely hot he looked than she was about what he actually sang.
Before she knew it, they were at the other shore, and Eric had lifted her out of the boat and kept singing to her. He was singing Music of the Night now, and he did it with the absolutely most entrancing voice ever.
What happened after that, Aura didn't really remember, she was that enchanted by his beautiful and voice and absolutely hot looks. All she remembered was them slowly making their way to the swan bed between lots and lots of really tender moves. And then she was asleep, and didn't wake up until morning.
And that was chapter 2. Just so it gets said, the lyrics in this chapter were half mine, and half Andrew Lloyd Webber's (it should be pretty obvious which is which).
