Chapter 7

Back in Madame Giry's office

"I'm sorry Christine. I'm so sorry." Giry said holding Christine in her arms. Then out of nowhere Erik was behind Madame Giry. "Oh Christine. My Christine. Im so sorry, I will never leave you alone again." Erik plead to his Christine. Christine jumped into her Erik's arms and started to cry. Christine was so scared. She couldn't comprehend what happened. All that was going through her mind was where what's Meg? Why did she leave so early? She never gets up this early? She didn't quite understand why Meg left. "Where was Meg. I thought she was to stay til you came and got me Madame Giry?" She asked while still in Erik's arms. Madame Giry looked at Christine with a confused look on her face. Christine was right where did Meg go? "I have no idea I didn't see her at all this morning." She said with a worried look on her face.

"Christine needs someone with her at all times. She can't be left alone anyone. I scared the boy off so he might not come back. Let's hope he never comes back. Ever." Erik Sid with a stern tone in his voice.

"you're right Erik she cannot be left alone until this problem is solved. I will watch her every move then at night she can stay with you." Madame Giry suggested to Erik.

"Fine. It is fine with me if it is fine with Christine." Himself and Antoinette looked at her. "Yes it is fine with me. But… Erik I want you to be watching too." She said looking up at him.

"Anything my angel." He said cupping her chin and giving her a kiss. Christine sits in her Angels lap. "Christine what happened when Raoul came in?" Antoinette asked. She started to shake and tears formed in her eyes. She stutters as she retell the story "H-he kicked the door down… came towards me and he smacked me told me 'don't you ever runaway from me again. Do you hear me.' Then he smacked me again, then he grabbed my arm and threw me on the bed. I kicked and screamed but he covert y mouth so no one could hear me scream an-and he tried to rape me." They she burst into tears crying into Erik's arms.

She could not talk about it anymore. She was indeed scared for Raoul. But why would Raoul do something like this? He was Christine's childhood sweetheart. They did everything together before Christine's father died. But after her father died he stopped talking to her. To be honest he didn't realize her til she started to sing. When she was a ballerina he NEVER noticed her. She as invisible to him. 'Why now?' She asked herself.

Meanwhile

Raoul hurried out of the Opera House. He was angry and bleeding really bad from his nose. He didn't see who hit him (cough cough Erik) he called his carriage to take him home. On his way home he thought of the best way possible to get Christine. The thought maybe kidnapping her or maybe rune her virtue so that she would have to marry him? But he had to get passed Madame Giry and the mystery man who beat the crap out of him. But how? How should he put a plan such as that into action?

Meanwhile

"Christine I think you should rest for a little bit." Madame Giry suggested. But she shook her head "if I sit hear any longer I will go mad. I need to keep my mind off of what happen. I don't want to think about of have this conversation again." And with that she left to get ready for the rehearsals for II Muto. Madame Giry looked at Erik "I don't think she will take no for an answer. I guess let her deal with this in her own was." Erik nodded and agreed with her. "I have some work to do. I need to send some letters to the managers." Then he was gone.

1 Hour later

Madame Giry kept a good eye on Christine during practice. Then the managers Firmin and Andre walked in with Carlotta. "Madame Giry with is this ludicrous about the Opera Ghost?" Andre said handing her the letter which read:

Dear Andre,

I am not happy with how you are running my Opera House. And the way Miss. Daae has been treated. I should also request that the Vicomte never return to the Opera House at all. And I shall see that Miss. Daae stays the lead role and Carlotta is the page boy. If these simple demand are ignored a his aster beyond your imagination will occur.

I remain your observant,

O.G

Carlotta walk towards Madame "I will not be replaced by this harlot again. I will play the lead in this role. I will not play the page boy. Not now not ever." She said with an angry tone towards Madame Giry. Christine walked toward Carlotta and slapped her "I am not a harlot. It takes a harlot to know when sees one." Christine said after slapping her. "Ladies I will settle this now. Carlotta will be the lead and Christine will play the page boy end of discussion." Andre said the left with Carlotta.

Later that evening

Carlotta got in her place for the first act, Christine next to her. Three more actors took center stage and began to sing. (Note I will not be putting the song in I will be describing it.). As the production goes on up above Erik is standing right in front of the chandelier. He sees that his demands were ignored and he saw the Vicomte De Changy sitting in box 5. He was angry, he saw that Christine was the page boy. So with all his anger he said "Did I not instruct box 5 to be empty!" Everyone looked around but could not see him. But Christine did "Its him." Carlotta looked at her "Your part I'd silent little toad." With that she walked off stage. Eek, heard this comment from Carlotta and this he didn't like. "A toad Madame. Perhaps it is you who are the toad." He said silently to him self. As he saw Carlotta enter the stage again he left. She began to sing again but her voice was horrible. She began to croak. "My voice!" She scream then ran off stage.

"Everyone please remain in your seats. The okay will begin in 10 minutes time when the role of the countess will be played by Miss. Daae. " Firmin said waving his hand at Christine to get ready.

As Christine get ready she hears the ballet start. She knew after the ballet she would have to go on. Madame Giry helped her get ready for the lead role. When they both heard screaming. They rushed out and saw Meg say "One of the stage men were murdered!" Them Christine sees Raoul come after her and take her by her hand. "RAOUL LET ME GO!" She creamed. But he didn't listen.
