"I am your angel of music." A voice softly sang to her.
She smiled brightly and sat down at her vanity listening to the music. It was dark beautiful and intoxicating to her soul. Soon the melody stopped when her grandparents called her. Helga looked around to see if she could find her angel of music, but unfortunately she couldn't find the angel. She finished getting ready then went downstairs.
~downstairs in the music room~
Helga came in to see her grandparents singing don't go breaking my heart by Elton John. She stood in the doorway laughing while holding her sides. Robert waved Helga over with one hand as the other continued to play. Helga ran over and sat down then took over for her grandfather as he began to dance and sing with Carolina. When they were done her grandmother grabbed her hip.
"Im definitely not as young as I used to be." Carolina said with a smile and laugh.
"No sense you don't look a day over twenty." Robert said, smirking at his corny repile. Her grandmother giggled and playfully slapped on the shoulder as he pretended she had hurt him. Helga watch quietly with happy eyes thinking "so this what it is like to be loved and wanted and to have a family that cares."
Helga snapped out of her thoughts when her grandmother called her name. Carolina told her to grab her jacket that they were goig out to eat as a family. She nodded and left the room slipping on her jacket. As she was buttoning her jacket something fell on her head. It was another bloody red rose with a note attached saying:
*I shall be watching over you from now on and teach you to sing until then I remain your obedient and guarding angel of music*
Helga smiled and softly smell the fresh picked rose. She couldn't help but blush when she noticed her grandparents coming fighting over what to eat for dinner tonight. Yep Helga was happy her grandparents came to save her that day. Soon they came home from dinner and went to bed after a shower.
~The next day~
Helga had arrived to school early. She sat down at her desk starig out the window thinking about her angel of music. Helga didn't notice Meg come over to her and tried to get her attention until. SLAM. Meg's hand hit the desk hard making Helga jump out of her seat and onto the floor.
"Hey whats the heck was that for? Criminy!" Helga exclaimed.
"I stood here for the last ten minutes trying to get your attention." Meg said with a pout. Helga sighed then apologized saying she had alot on her mind. Meg asked what was going on. Helga looked around and saw no one was around. She began to tell Meg about this angel of music that came to her last night even showed Meg the note. Meg read the note and then began to smirk a little. She knew who had written it.
. "Well I hope that one day you meet you're angel Helga." Meg said as she left that the room with a skip in her step.
Helga watched her leave with confusion written on her face. She looked down at the note one more time before the bell rang. Erik walked in before the teacher which made Helga smile. Erik gave a small smirk and nod to Helga as a good morning. She rolled her eyes and smirked back at him passing him a note. Soon class had started, but Erik and Helga kept passing notes about planning to pull a prank on that Carlotta girl at the Opera house. Class was soon over and Helga was heading to her normal music room were she always at. She saw that Roual was at the piano reading her music sheets she forgot the other day.
"It's not right to read peoples work without permission you know?" Helga said, walking over grabbing her papers and began to put her things away.
"I'm sorry but this work was beautiful I couldn't help but get drawn into it." Roual apologized.
Helga waved him off and told him she would like to be alone now. Roual nodded and left after bowing slightly to her. She sighed in relief that he was gone, cause she hated his flirting butt. Soon Helga was lost in her music once more making her smile not knowing someone was watching her from the doorway. Erik watched in amazement on how this one girl was making him feel. He should just stop pretending to be her angel of music and just be her friend, but he couldn't help it. Soon he left before he was caught watching her when she wanted alone time to herself.
~Opera House~
Helga and Erik ran through the Opera House to the prima-dona's rehersal room. They hide in the dark watching while quietly laughing getting ready to put their plan in motion. Helga watched Carlotta's voice get sprayed with a Sherly temple drink to help her throat. She nodded to Erik as she went out to cause a distraction for him to switch the bottles. Helga tapped her on the shoulder to get Carlotta's attention. She turned around and glared at Helga.
"Carlotta I must say I am amazed at your voice wishing I had a voice like yours."
Carlotta smirked and huffed with pride saying of course she does since she was the best in all of Paris. Helga nodded and forced a smile while pretending to listen to her. She prayed that Erik would hurry up and give her the singal that it was done. Five minutes later of useless pointers of singing from Carlotta, Erik gave her the signal. Helga smirked and excused herself while meeting up with Erik.
"Is it done?" Helga asked.
"Time to watch her sing like a toad." Erick said, chuckling.
Helga laughed and followed him to box five to watch everything fall into place. Just as she was about to sing Helga's grandparents come in making Helga dang it. They ducked down to keep watching. With a nod the music began and Carlotta began to sing.
Serafimo - away with this pretence!

Poor fool, he makes me laugh -

Croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak
Carlotta began to cry and ran off stage as people began to laugh. Helga and Erik busted out laughing making them fall to the floor while holding their sides. They quickly ran out of the box before they were caught. Helga and Erik fived as they walked to Helgas dancing lesson. Madame Giry would be mad that she was late but it was so worth it in her eyes. She waved goodbye to Erik and began to take her punishment that Madame Giry had planned. Two hours later Helga landed on the floor not being able to move her body.
Meg laughed and helped her friend to the car. Madame Giry was staying late so Erik and Meg were coming over for dinner. This made Helga smile as she laughed and talked to them while waiting for them to get to Helga's place. They made it back and ran inside well Helga mostly limped inside and headed to her room to mess around until dinner. Helga played on her laptop until she noticed Phoebe was online.
She it call and waited for her to pick up. When she picked up Helga weakly said hi. Phoebe looked at her friend in confusion.
"Helga are you alright there?" Phoebe asked.
"Meg's mom worked me really good today cause I was late from pulling a prank on that girl I told you about." Helga explained.
Phobebe nodded and asked how everything was going. Helga introduced Meg to Phoebe while Erick sat Helga's desk doing homework letting the girls talk. Soon he tensed up when Helga brought up her angel of music that was watching over her.
"Do you have any idea who it might be Helga?" Phoebe asked. Helga sighed.
"I have no cule Phebes, but I hope to meet him soon." Helga said, as Meg played with her hair.
Soon dinner came and they girls said bye and hung up to go eat. Robert told them how his prima dona in training was starting to sound like a toad and would be looking for someone new. Erik suggested Helga. Helga choked on her food while Meg patted her back while saying that was a great idea. Helga told them she would do her best even though she wasnt that good.
"Are you kidding me? Little Lottee you are simple amazing!" Robert said laughing. After Meg and Erik left Helga went to bed to think over at what they suggest to her. Soon she fell asleep listening to a dark lullaby that made her dream about the beauty underneath the dark and strangest things.
