Even though the Phantom had died a week after Raoul and Christine
fled the country, strange things still occurred at the Paris Opera House.
People heard mysterious crying coming from a place they could not find. A
week later, odd things started to happen. People's valuables started
disappearing. Lights would flicker. One person, Abella Beauchamp even
vanished.
The cause of this was someone named John. Erik's mother, Madeleine, had another child, two year later, and named him John. John was normal. She kept Erik and John separated and neither knew the other existed. One day, John was going to jump out and scare his mom.
As he was about to jump out, Erik walked over to his mother. John remained hidden to find out who this boy with a mask was. After listening to the conversation, he had learned Erik was his brother and was born ugly. He learned how his mother disliked him. John loved his brother dearly and hated his mother for treating Erik badly. Because the house was so old, no one knew there were trapdoors. John had discovered many. John would use them to follow Erik. Erik became his role model. John would watch Erik.
Erik and John have many things in common. They both sing beautifully, great ventriloquism skills, lassoing, a love for trap doors and many more things they learned they could do well. One day, when Erik was ten, Erik decided to run away. John decided to follow. He managed to keep hidden. They both learned many things on their adventure. When the Paris Opera House was being built, John still remained hidden. At night when every one would leave, he would come and work on trap doors of his own. When the Paris Opera House was built he moved in along with Erik. Erik had his house beyond the lake and John had built his house in an even more clever location. John loved rats. He would often give them food. The rats grew fond of John. They started following him around. He built a home for all the rats. He would usually walk around with about 30 rats. One day, when he was walking in one of his secret passages, a whole table was accidentally knocked over. Wonderful foods were on it. The rats saw this through the viewing crack he created to see out without being noticed. The rats charged out of the secret passage. Many screamed and ran. One man, Eustache Delaflote, said he would get the rat poison. John heard him and ran out. He collected the rats like mad. People had no clue of who he was or where he came from. They were just glad he got all the rats. Eustache got back as John was running away. A lady said, "It's all right. The rat catcher got them all." John heard this statement. He decided he would be called The Rat Catcher. He discovered Erik was in love with Christine. He watched when Erik took Christine for the last time. The Rat Catcher knew Raoul would try to save her. He decided to watch the cellars. He spotted Persian and Raoul walking. He had all his rats with him. He ran after them. He caught up and had his rats climb on them. He warned them. He knew what the Persian had done for Erik. He left to relax and celebrate his victory. After a while he decided to take a walk. He was watching people pass when he saw Raoul and Christine running off. He charged down to Erik's house. He saw Erik crying. John felt great pain and he wept tears. He felt great anger and hatred. He declared, "I swear I shall get revenge on Raoul de Chagny!"
