Look With Your Heart

by thedoctorinarendell

When Penelope "Penni" Bluet is thrown onto Coney Island she knows she has to save Christine for Meg the Phantom and Gustave's sake, but as she gets deeper into the plot will she settle with Christine and the Phantom's happiness? Or will she look for her own? And what will become of Raoul? Sorry if the summary isn't good and I swear I'll finish this story.

4. A Question to Be Asked

Okay I'm sorry for the absence for the last month but here's Chapter 4 (I do not own LND):

The trio leads me into the space from last night… was it really last night that I looked behind the mask? "Miss Bluet," Erik's voice comes from the doorway on the opposite side of the immense space.
"I told you call me Penni," I reply informally. I walk towards him, something isn't right about this.
"Of course," He approaches me as well; we stop about five feet from one another.
"Erik, what's wrong? There must be something…"
"I just wanted to admit that you were right, I do need to see Christine again. I don't think I can move forward until I see and hear her sing once again." He says with a passion that can only come from love.
"I'm happy for you!" I say giddily getting closer, "Have you sent some form of contact to her yet?"
"Not quite, I was writing it out today but-"
"What is this?!" Giry's voice roars from the door I had come in from. We both jump about ten feet in either direction facing her. "Why is she here?"
"I'm here to look over and listen to a song for Meg" I say thinking on my feet. "We should play it for Madame, shouldn't we Monsieur?"
"Ah yes, perfect timing Madame." He looks at me with wide eyes, 'what are you doing' he mouths.
'Trust me' I reply, he begins playing what he's been working on, once again I think quickly for lyrics.

I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want to live life under a cloud
Give me some air and space
And sun on my face
I want to live out loud
Don't want to be alone in the crowd
Don't want to seem peculiar and proud
I need to be as free
As I know how to be
I want to live out loud
Every day - sleep, walk, lock, step
No one dares to stray
Though they may - straight-laced, shamefaced
Long to break away
They're as lonely as can be
Is that what they want from me?
I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want to live life under a cloud
Give me some air and space
And sun on my face
I want to live out loud
Don't want to be alone in the crowd
Don't want to seem peculiar and proud
Nobody wants me here
But I won't be disappear
I want to live out loud
I want to run down an open shoreline
I want to join in a moonlit dance
I want to swing with the branches of a tree
I want to bathe in a hidden inlet
And let the breeze come and dry my hair
I want the life they took away from me
If they makes me headstrong - fine!
That's a fault I'm glad is mine.
I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want my spirit broken and bowed
Why do I have to hide what I'm feeling inside
I want to live out loud
Don't want to be alone in the crowd
I only want what I'm not allowed
Give me the wings of a bird
I'll be seen and be heard
I want to sing when my heart is full
I want to sing and I want to fly
I want to soar the sky without a cloud
I want to live out loud

As I finish Giry seems pleased. "I will go tell Meg, Miss Bluet you must come with me,"
I nod in compliance not wanting to risk my employment, but Erik protests "She is my guest here Madame, I should thank you to leave," Giry stares blankly at him, but leaves just the same.
"Thank you, I didn't want to leave, but I do need this job." I say truly grateful
"As long as you need this job you shall have it, but I have another way you could be employed here without Giry looking down on you," There's excitement in his voice.
"And how is that?" I question one eyebrow raised.
"Be my assistant."
"your assistant, what does the job entail?"
"You'll be the face of the operation, meet with acts at the docks, and deal with the directors making certain everything is in place for performances, so on and so forth," Erik explains calmly. "And, you get your own apartment." I smile not knowing what to say

Okay readers, I have an idea I want to run by you, so I was writing a chapter to use for later and all that stuff, I started writing and all of a sudden Raoul showed up where Penni is and they started singing and being happy together and Raoul makes a move... Well things got crazy and would you guys want to have Raoul be Happy with Penni and have Christine and Phantom or do you want me to scratch it, or do something else? Please review and let me know!
