Chapter 2: Too many memories
Christian stormed through the Theater doors; he tore down the twisting hallways, ducking behind chairs and curtains to keep himself from being seen by wandering can-can dancers. Finally he arrived at the door leading into the theater hall, he could hear the pulsing music flowing from behind
Talk to me Harry Zidler, tell me all about it!
Came the sweet voice, that didn't sound like Nini at all, pausing for a brief second Christian pushed open the door and stumbled inside. He was blinded by a wave of color and flashing lights, music rang out though his ears, many men in suits and top hats goofed about, gawking at the dancing whores, throwing money at their feet and guzzling down wine. So many memories flooded into Christian in those few seconds, everything he looked at reminded him of his first night here, the lights, the music, and the color his mind blurred before he came to his senses and remembered the reason why he had come here. "STOP!" he yelled at the top of his voice "Stop the music!" he screamed at the conductor who looked at the penniless, miserable poet in dirty bloodstain clothes yelling at him. "STOP IT!" Christian screamed in fury and the conductor silenced the orchestra the sweet voice was cut off and the dancers stopped dancing, the men stopped cheering and throwing money, everyone turned to stare at the man standing alone a few paces from the door.
Silence covered the Moulin Rouge Theater, except for a few hurried whispers, before Christian could open his mouth Zidler burst through the doors behind him, seconds before Christian looked over to the trapeze. "Christian my boy, how lovely to see you!" Zidler crooned. Christian gave him a black stare, hair fell over his face "You have your fame, you have your money, you have your plays during the day and your whorehouse at night, but you cannot play that song!" he said in bitterness and anger all mixed into one.
"Christian my boy, I know you're still grieving but the show must go on!" Zidler said calmly glancing behind Christian to the stage.
"The show never goes on! Its never gone on since Satine died, your show died along with her, just like my life!" he yelled just as Toulouse hobbled through the doors all muddy and wet, leaning on his cane.
"You've no right to be here anymore, boy, that song will be sung, the show WILL go on and you'll leave, you never write us plays anymore anyway" Zidler said sternly, after recovering from his hurt from the words Christian had said, he did favor the boy, but he favored his money over him any day. Anger spun through Christian's mind like a spider web, he couldn't stand it. "You will not play this song, this is Satine's song, and hers only she's the only one who can sing it"
Zidler ignored Christian, staying here would only hurt the boy more. "Toulouse, take him home" Toulouse hobbled forward.
"No Toulouse, I'm not leaving" Christian said; now Toulouse didn't know what to do, so he stood halfway between Christian and Zidler. "Christian leave, being here only hurts you more I can see it" Zidler said calmly.
"Don't tell me what hurts me and what doesn't, you think I wouldn't know by now? I'm not leaving until you promise me you will not play that song!" Christian roared, he didn't care what the people staring at him thought all he cared about was Satine, and he wasn't going to let Nini sing it. "And you Nini….." Christian's voice left him when he spun around and looked at the person sitting on the trapeze. It wasn't Nini at all; Nini was sitting on the Argentineans lap in the corner, sitting on the trapeze in the middle of the stage, wearing the same silver costume and diamond embroided top hat with her hair pulled back with only little ringlets hanging down was Satine.
Christian just stood and stared, lost for words, dumbfounded, could she really be alive, and sitting there only meters away looking back at him? His mind must be fooling him, she died in his arms one year ago, she died! This just wasn't possible.
He blinked, closed his eyes and opened them again, sure that she would disappear just like she always did when he imagined her, but when they opened, she was still there and she was real.
He took a step forward, he was sure he was about to sprint forward to her. But Zidler had other plans, other cruel plans, to him, his plan was 'for the best' he clicked his fingers once and two huge muscular men marched over to Christian, who was slowly stepping forward. "Sa…" Christian began before the two men seized him by the arms and began to drag him away forcefully, Christian tried to shake them off but they were too strong. "What are you doing?" he yelled, "Hey, get off!" he said struggling, "Stop, let me go!" he pulled and tried to break free "Satine!" he yelled to her "Satine!" but she made no movement to stop them, no words, nothing. "Satine!" Christian called again, he was almost out the door, being pushed and pulled and hit as he struggled to get free "Satine!" he yelled repeatedly. "No! get off me" he kicked one of them but only got whacked in the stomach, "Satine!" he yelled, he couldn't be taken away from her, "Satine!" tears brimmed in his eyes as he passed Zidler, a sad ashamed look on his face "Get them off me Harry! Please!" Christian called in desperation, but Zidler made no reply, no-one was going to help him, he was going to be thrown out into the street "You idiot Zidler! You mean horrible man!" Christian called the only insulting words he could think of. "Satine!" he looked to her again as he was carried out the door, he jammed him arm in the door, pulling himself back through "Satine!" he called before he was silenced by a rough punch knocking him unconscious. The two men through him out into the mud puddle street where he lay blacked out and muddy as it began to pour. Toulouse came and found him minutes later and dragged him back to his garret, inside Zidler got the dancers dancing again and Satine disappeared out of sight.
