Hello, everyone! Wow, just a couple of more songs and then the story end and the plot will be mine! Bawhhahahahahah! Yeah, so here is what you've been waiting for…Chapter 13 of the Phantom Wasn't Alone!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Phantom of the Opera or this song…sadly :(
Sara's Point of View
I ran through a small door that led me to the audience row, and I couldn't believe my mind. The stage was red and there were dancers dancing in black suits. I looked around the area and found the Viscount looking at a police guard that was behind him. I knew it! It was like my dream; there were guards everywhere around the theater. The people watching the opera caught my eye, when I turned to see what they were looking at I was shocked!
Erik and Christine were up at a balcony by the pillars, and they were holding each other. Erik was embracing her like Don Juan would and it surprised me a little. He did always say he was sort of a Don Juan, which made me smile for a minute.
And Christine, she was in some kind of spell, she was going along with this song. I was even more surprised when Erik broke character and sung something different from the opera, I got nervous.
"Say you'll share with me one love
One lifetime
Lead me save me from my solitude
Say you'll want me with you here
Beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too!
Christine,
That's all I ask of….!"
And without another word Christine took off his mask, revealing his face that people find disturbing. The people screamed in terror and the guards hurried to save Christine and to capture the Phantom!
At that very moment, Erik took a small knife and cut a red rope that was connected to the chandelier. The crystal ornament shook al little soon Erik and Christine fell down a trap door and vanished!
Many people gasp at the happening and without another word or scream the chandelier fell from the ceiling! The cries of women strike fear into my heart; I myself was caught in the crowded mess. I was trying to get to the dressing rooms but many men and women were pushing and shoving to get out!
I tried to get away but my foot was caught under a chair and I couldn't break free. I struggled and I only injured my foot. I looked up at the ceiling; the chain to the chandelier broke and fell down, this was it, I was going to die!
"Help, someone!" I cried. My foot was still caught! "Someone, please help me!"
Without giving another cry, I could see the Chandelier coming towards me, then….
CRASH!
The chandelier crashed right on top of me! I felt the small crystals falling on top of me and I was in deep pain on my side! I cried as loud as I could to get someone to hear me, but I was loosing my breath, I was turning week…I couldn't hear…anymore…my eyesight turned blurry…and just as I was about to close my eyes…I heard the voice of an angel…calling to me.
"Sara, can you hear me?! Sara!" the voice sounded familiar. I couldn't see who it was, I was loosing my sight a little, and everything was blurry. Soon a dark figure came to me; it struggled to get to be due to the chandelier being on top of me. I heard the voice call to me again. "Sara! Benjamin, go get Monsieur Khan, now!"
I felt the figures arms around me, as if it was embracing me. I never knew who it was but I had a feeling it Phillip…I smiled as I fainted…
Erik's Point of View
"You've passed the point of no return!"
"Angel of music you deceived me…" Christine sung. "I gave my mind blindly…"
"You try my patience! Make your choice!" I held the rope tighter in my hands. I pulled the rope that was connected to the fobs neck and make him gag even louder then before. Oh the sweet sound of pain, it was music to my ears!
Christine looked at me with tears in her eyes. I couldn't help be forget about the fob. She lightly shook her head and walked towards in the lake, not caring that her beautiful wedding dress was getting wet.
"Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life have you known?
God gave me courage to show you,
You are not alone…!"
Without any hesitation she went up to my face and kissed me on the lips. Her sweet intoxicating lips made me flinch a little. Her sweet touch to my disfigured face, it gave me chills down my spine. She broke our kiss and looked into my eyes. She gave me a face only a child would make, and it made my feelings toward her stronger then ever.
She leaned her head closer to mine and we both touched lips again. Her hand toughing my face once more… and again she broke our kiss. Her eyes, more beautiful then ever, made me realize I was doing something terribly wrong. I knew I was hurting her and I never wanted to do it again.
I felt tears going down my eyes and I backed away from her in self disgust.
What was I doing, I'm a monster. My Christine doesn't disserve me! She has promised to stay with me, but, how can I let her do that. No, I now know what I have to do.
With one final tear that has fallen down my cheek. I walked away slowly.
"Take him, forget me! Forget all of this!"
I pointed to the fob and she ran towards him. I could hear the voices of the mob calling my name!
"Track down this murderer,
He must be found!"
I continued to my organ and looked away. "Go now, don't let them find you!"
I looked to see Christine untie the ropes around the fob's neck. I looked away and walked towards Christine's room. "Take to boat, swear to me, to never tell…of the secret you know of the angel of hell!"
I turned to find the two hugging for dear life, I shouted at then like a mad man. "Go now, go now! And leave me!"
I said no more to them, I assumed that they had already left me. Sitting by the bedside of the room; looking down at the Persian monkey, the small music box sung to me. The music came through my ears and filled my heart with sorrow and loneliness.
"Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face,
So the world will never find you…"
The music died, and I looked up to find Christine. She was standing there in the wedding dress that I dreamed of her wearing on our wedding day. She
"Christine,
I love you…"
She looked down at her finger with the engagement ring that I forced on her finger. She slowly pulled it off and walked towards me. She slowly bent over and took my hand. The ring that I wanted for her, the ring that I dreamed of her wearing every single day of my life, was now…placed on my hand. With her hand she closed mine; I gave away a small tear that came down my cheek. We both looked at each other for the last time and then she left.
I never wanted to see her leave me alone angina, but in my life I knew that this was meant to be. I knew that I never disserved happiness. The dress flowed as she walked away from me. I looked down at the ring and I heard the angelic voice of my angel sing away with the Viscount.
"say you'll share with me
One love one lifetime."
"Say the word
And I will follow you"
"Share each day with me
Each night each morning…"
I stood up and watched them sail way on the boat. I saw her hugging her love. Something I wished I had at the moment.
"You alone,
Can make my song take fight…
It's over now,
The music of the night!"
I stormed off to the mirrors. I took a small candle stand and bashed it against the mirrors. Each one I bashed resembled the strong love I had for Christine. I almost crashed the entire mirror until I came to the last one. Raising the stand I bashed it against the mirror and broke the glass. It was the way out. I looked out at my cave and gave it a silent goodbye to the opera.
Going through the cashed mirror I released the curtain and made sure that it was closed and didn't show the tunnel.
As I walked through the tunnel I remembered that Sara wasn't there like I told her! I panicked and I heard the echoes of the guards and the mob, they already made it to my lair. I hurried and ran; I didn't even care if I made It to the outside area.
Finding Sara was my next mission, I have to find her before I or Sara gets caught by the guards. Oh, I was worried out of my life; I don't know if she was taken of she was somewhere safe, I just hope that she was alright. I hope that her wound wasn't affecting her!
When I made out of the opera house, I sat by a corner where no one could see me. What was I going to do? I need to find Sara and I don't know where to start! But then I remember, she could be with that Phillip boy, I remembered finding out where that he lives. He doesn't live too far from the opera house; I could possibly make it there by foot. We will see.
I began walking and the only thing that was in my mind was Sara's safety.
Sara's Point of View
I don't remember a lot of what happened. I honestly thought I was dead, but no, I woke up finding an old lady patting my head with a warm cloth, drenched with water.
I quickly sat up and made the lady gasp.
"Oh, my dear, please don't do that. I am a very old lady, you know."
This place gave me a bad feeling, a bad feeling that never went away. I felt as if I was in another dream, but I didn't think so, it felt too real for me."W-Where am i?!" I cried.
The woman placed her cloth down in a bowel that was on a dresser. "Calm down, dear, there's no need to be frightened."
"But where am I?" I asked again. I then remembered everything. "The opera house, the chandelier, screaming, shouting…THE PHANTOM!"
"Shhh, it's alright-"
"No, it's not alright!" I shouted. I pulled away the covers that were on top of me and I raced out of bed.
"Where are you going? You have to stay and rest, child."
"I cant', I have to find my father!" and as I was almost to the door, it opened.
There stood a tall coppered skinned man with a persain hat on. His suit was a grey-like color and his red tie made his eyes look mean and dark.
I backed away; I didn't know who this man was. But when I hit the frame of the bed, I panicked!
And right behind him was Phillip; he raced towards me and hugged me like none ever.
"Oh, Sara, you are okay! I'm so glad!" I hugged him as well; I needed his company so bad.
I kindly pushed him away. "Phillip, what is going on, where am I?''
"When I saw you down below with the audience, I hurried to meet you. But when I saw…your…" he leaned in closer to me and whispered the word "Father", he then continued. "Cut the chandelier down, I saw that it crash on you. I came in to help you and I took you home and my friend Monsieur Nadir Khan fixed you up."
He gestured to him and Nadir gave warm smile.
"But, what happened to the opera house?! What about my fath— the Phantom?" I asked as I began to feel my eyes tearing up.
Monsieur Khan went up to the old lady that was standing buy the bed. He whispered something in her ear and she left. He then came up to Phillip and I do believe that there is something I must speak to her about."
Phillip looked at him then sighed. "Yes, of course." Phillip looked at me and gave me a kiss on my cheek. "When you two finish, there will be supper waiting for the both of you. Sara there is a dress in the bathroom that you can change in; do be careful when you put it on, I don't want you hurting yourself."
Phillip then walked out of the room, leaving me with Monsieur Khan. I gestured me to sit on the bedside and he sat down on a chair by the bed. He gave me a stair that put chills down my spine then back.
"Miss Chapa, I have a few questions if you don't mind."
I gave a small gulp before answering. "No, go ahead."
At that moment, I knew that this was going to be a long night.
Yay! At this moment, the plot is NOW MINE! BAWHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I hope you guys get ready for ALL the drama that is coming this way! Have a good one!
Spirit of the Opera!
