Chapter ONE
Satine sighed as she watched rain fall from the sky above, the weather reflected her mood: dark, gloomy and sad. All she could think of was Christian. Being apart from Christian is worse than being dead. She lived because Harold Zidler, the owner of the Moulin Rouge and Satine, his "Sparkling Diamond", had slipped pills into her drink right before the starting of "Spectacular Spectacular" so that she may "die" in his arms and go into unconsciousness at the end. Apparently, Harold made her believe that she was dying so that they could keep the Moulin Rouge alive. But now Harold regretted this, because Satine seems as dead as can be, her heart wasn't into the plays, the songs. She couldn't even entertain the guests. It's been exactly one month and eight days since she "died" in Christian's arms.
Suddenly, the door opening interrupted Satine's thoughts. Alarmed, she turned around and saw Marie, a woman that seems to keep all the girls of the Moulin Rouge together, she acted as a "motherly" figure to all. "Marie! What are you doing here?!" Satine practically yelled.
"I'm sorry dear, but the show is about to start. and I thought I should help you get ready." said Marie.
"Oh. I'm sorry. I just."
"Don't worry about it dear. I see your thoughts are still on Christian." Marie suddenly sighed, "I think you should go to him.I hate seeing you like this. Besides I think that Harold will soon see that keeping you here has no real meaning if you don't bring in business and entertain the guests"
To entertain. all the men wanted out there was 'love' not true love but basically a one night stand. Satine couldn't stand this, after Christian leaving, she wouldn't do anything to earn money from the clients, and in turn, the clients were terribly disappointed, which meant nothing to Satine, all she wanted was to have Christian hold her in his arms again.
"But my consumption. all I would do is hurt him when I do . die." Satine whispered the last word, not wanting it to happen, yet she knew it was inevitable.
After much hesitation, Marie slowly began, "listen. Harold has kept this from you, because he knew that if you knew that consumption would be cured..." A/N: ok, I KNOE it can't be. but let's just pretend ^______________^
"WHAT?! CURED?! HOW?!" pleaded the hopeful Satine.
"Honey, we were going to tell you this soon, when Christian leaves the country. but I can't stand you being so depressed." Marie tried to explain "but here" Marie hands her a fairly large bag " in here is the medicine for consumption, we purchased it with the money earned from the Moulin Rouge. If you take it as prescribed, you will get better, although progress would be slow, but you would get better"
"FIVE MINUTES UNTIL THE SHOW STARTS!!!!" yelled Chocolat from outside.
"If you are to catch Christian, you better go quickly, here. run before Harold gets here to see what's taking so long. take the bag of jewels with you. It will help the two of you to get on your feet. Remember to write me!" continued Marie.
"THANK YOU MARIE!!! I WILL! DON'T WORRY!" Satine replied, dashing out the door. She now can be with Christian. Instead of imagining it, she can ACTUALLY be with Christian again and she couldn't wait.
