Phantom's Angel of Darkness: Thanks a lot! I like your stories too.:

mengela daae and Telre(your the same person right?): Thank you for saying my stories amazing! Your updates were helping but I just wasn't able to update last night. I'll ask you if I need ideas!

At breakfast, Philippe told his parents nothing about his meeting with the Phantom. After all, if he did tell then his parents would never let him near the opera house ever again. So all Philippe told them was that he would like to have Tessa over for lunch today. "Of course she can come!" Christine said. "I have so looked forward to meeting her!"

"Yes," Raoul said. "She sounds like quite an interesting person. But Philippe I have to ask you something."

"And what's that father?" Philippe asked.

"I need to know how you feel for this girl," Raoul said. "Do you like her as a friend or…"

"I like her more then a friend," Philippe said, "and I'm sure she feels the same way." Raoul and Christine exchanged a smile.

On the carriage ride to Raoul and Christine's Tessa was steadily becoming more and more nervous. Meg and Philippe were doing the best they could to calm her nerves. "You don't have to worry about what they'll think of you!" Philippe said. "They've wanted to meet you ever since I first told them about you!"

"I know," Tessa said. "I'm just rather shy around new people."

"Don't worry," Meg said, "Christine and Raoul are some of the nicest people in the world. And Christine is just as shy as you."

"She is?" Tessa said.

"Oh yes," Meg laughed. "The first time she had to audition for Carlotta's part she nearly ran offstage at first!"

"Really?" Tessa asked.

"Yes!" Meg said. "Mind you see did do a splendid job after." The rest of the carriage ride was spent with Meg reminiscing about the past to the two children before her who were eager to hear it.

As it turned out Philippe and Meg were right. There was nothing to be nervous about when meeting Christine and Raoul. By the time lunch was ready they were all talking together like old friends.

"Philippe has told us you have a genius of a music teacher," Raoul said as they began to eat. "He sounds like a great man and I was wondering if you could tell us who he is."

"I would if I could monsieur," Tessa said, "but I can't."

"Why not?" Christine asked.

"My teacher prefers to stay private about his identity," Tessa said. "Therefore I do not know his name. I've never even see him." Christine gave her a worried look.

"Isn't that dangerous?" She asked. "After all if you've never seen him how to you know that you can trust him?"

"I suppose I don't," Tessa said, "but I do trust him."

"But how can you trust him?" Philippe said. He watched as a smile crept onto Tessa's lips.

"I can't really describe it," She said. "I can just tell somehow that he is a good and trustworthy man. He has never shown me the slightest bit of cruelty and I am sure he never will."

"But he still might," Philippe said. "That's why I would like to come with you to your next lesson with him Tessa." Meg and Tessa both looked at him surprised.

"Philippe I don't think that would be a good idea," Tessa said.

"Why not?" Philippe said. "If I'm there then if he tries to do anything to you I can be there to defend you."

"Philippe really it's not necessary I'll be fine," Tessa said.

"I think it is necessary," Raoul said. Philippe nodded.

"Yes Tessa I would feel a lot safer if I could be there," He said. Tessa sighed knowing she was defeated.

"Alright," She said, "you can come to my lesson tonight." Philippe nodded and resumed eating.

Tessa meanwhile bit her lip anxiously. What am I going to do?! She thought.

When Tessa came to Erik for her lesson that night he could tell something was wrong.

She came running down the steps as fast she could. Once she reached the bottom, she stood there panting as she tried to catch her breath.

"Tessa what's wrong?" Erik asked. Tessa looked up at his hiding place now her dark brown eyes full of worry.

"When I told Raoul, Christine, and Philippe that I didn't know your name or even seen you before," She said, "they became worried for me. Philippe insisted on coming to my lesson tonight to make sure you didn't try anything." Erik gritted his teeth in frustration. He should have known that the boy would try and interfere eventually. Like father like son.

"Then our lesson is cancelled for tonight," Erik said. "Go and tell him that. We'll have to pick another time for me to teach you—"

"Tessa!"

Philippe stood at the bottom of the stairs wide eyed. "The Phantom is your teacher?" He said.

I know this is another cliff hanger but I'm working the second chapter promise!

Ja ne!
