Meg
"Yes, I'm here. Wha- What do you want?" I asked shyly. He turned around to face me. he was wearing his normal black suit, cape, and of course his mask.
"Ahhh Meg, why so silent?" he asked.
"Uhh what am I here for?" I asked.
"I'm sure you know."
"No, no I don't."
"Well, I want my daughter."
"Your daughter?" I was confused, his daughter? "I don't have your daughter?"
"Yes, you do. I believe when Erin came here, she was put under your care. Correct me if I am wrong."
"Yes she was. But what makes you think she is your daughter?" Erin? His daughter?
"Well, let's see there's the fact that her eyes are the same as mine. Ummm the fact that Christine came to me the night before her wedding..you know Meg. I know she told you! Don't try to hide this!"
Oh no, he knew I knew. I couldn't deny it.
"Alright. Its true. But how do you suppose to get Erin. How do you suppose to tell her? What if she asks about your mask? What if-"
"Alright, I get it. I get it. It will be hard. And I don't expect her to not ask about my mask. Just please let me, I want to be a father to her. A father Raoul could never have been, her real father. Meg?"
I let out a sigh while I thought. "Alright, I will come up with some way to tell her. I suppose you will want her to live with you in the catacombs of the opera?"
"Well, yes I do wish for her to live with me. But only if she wants to. She would be better up here, but if she wants to live down there with me then so be it."
"Alright then I guess we have a deal."
"I guess we do. Goodnight Meg." With that he left Box 5 and vanished into the shadows as I left for the dormitories to sleep on it and think of some way to tell Erin. What should I tell her?
