The requiem rang out through the dismal caverns. A song of loss, of emptiness, of sadness. His small amount was now completely gone, dwindled with her leaving. What had he done to deserve all of this? He had never been an angel, but was he truly the God of death, the model of misfortune and strife?

Why couldn't he be just be normal? Why had he been born with this wretched deformity, these twisted features? He could have been a world famous composer, traveling the world not in hiding but in celebrity. He would have fans in all corners of the universe and his concerts would be attended by the most influential musicians and artists of the time. He could have met her at a show, she was entranced by the music and he was entranced by her beauty. They fell in love at once, and soon, when the time was right… he proposed. The wedding would be set for-

But these were only dreams. And she was gone.

Mary was not the most observant person. Well at least in Catherine's opinion. It was so interesting- the way she shrieked when just barely provoked, the way she jumped every time she was startled. Humor. And Catherine always took advantage of it. Almost every day she was jumping out from behind walls, startling her companion.

Catherine you see, had always been rather dark. She had been in and out of therapists offices, her parents constantly hoping that she would be "normal" or at least as little of a burden to their reputations as possible. She often spoke in prose, perhaps reflecting her love of Shakespeare from an early age. On the other hand, Mary had always been sweet and innocent, her demeanor much loved by everyone around her. While she had always dreamed of being a princess in her own fairytale Catherine had always wanted to be nothing. Nothing at all, in her opinion at least, was the greatest thing to be. But as the two sat at the lunch table, they discussed the one thing that they did have in common. The letter.

Mary was positively overjoyed at the appearance of this note and the task that she was expected to embark on. IT would be amazing to meet her true hero. Although she loved all of the Phantoms, Mary was secretly relieved to have been assigned to the Erik from the 2004 movie. The least dangerous. And the most adorable.

But Catherine was not as overjoyed. She knew her Erik would be much more of a challenge. The most dangerous of the three being saved from a life lived in hell. Leroux Erik.

::::::::::

DAMN HER! DAMN THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE! DAMN THIS HIDEOUS CORPSE!

Why could Erik have been so stupid and idiotic? He should have known- they are all up to trouble, their identities and reputations simply rely on cosmetic beauty, why couldn't he have forseen the lack of understanding of the beauty within?
Oh woe to me! Her living breathing corpse! Her one true devoted follower! I taught her everything! How to sing, how to dance, how to love! YET SHE WENT WITH ANOTHER.

SHE WILL PAY.

THEY WILL ALL PAY.
