The Phantom of the Opera Returns

Chapter 2

A fan fiction by: Joycelyn Driscoll

Joycelyn sat in the corner tears rolling down her face, she knew she saw him, she knew she saw this Phantom, or was Richard right was she really going crazy.
No he's real I know it The Phantom of the Opera is real." She started to rock back and forth.

"Joycelyn!!!" Raoul screamed as he continued running trying to find her…when he saw her he started to breath heavily and walking up to her he sighed. "Joycelyn, I…need to be honest with you. I'm not who you think I am." He said trying to comfort and explain himself to her.

"I know who you are, you're Richard a young actor who will help me through this. You will help me won't you?" She said he hands shaking in fear.

He looked at her sadly knowing he was the cause of her fear, and pain. "No I'm not Richard I lied to you." He said holding her hands in his. "I'm Raoul Vicomte de Chagny, the manager of the Paris Opera House. But I would like a second chance, to be your friend…please…I will help you…and…I do believe you when you said you saw this Phantom." He said hoping he would gain her forgiveness.

"You're Raoul…the young manager of the Paris Opera House which all the lady's swoon over and fall in love with at first sight?" She said in amazement, question, and surprise.

"Yes…I am, I suppose." He said laughing slightly at the explanation of himself he was receiving.

"No wonder…I liked you from the beginning, but isn't it quite strange you share the same last name from Raoul in the play?" She said in question.

"I guess it is but…I think this Phantom fellow you've seen more interesting than me." He said smiling gently at her. "Please explain to me what you saw." He said trying to figure out just what happened and why he was the one targeted just those few minutes ago.

"I saw a man in a black cloak and a mask which covered half of his face and he stared at me with a…a… expression which I cannot explain but he…looked at you…with hate and anger but why, what did you do and why me? Who is this man?" She wondered out loud.

"Wow this man you saw sure does sound like The Phantom of the Opera but that was a fable none of it was real." He explained to himself and to her.

"Yeah all a fable…right?" She said questioning herself.

"Yes it is…I think." Raoul said now also confused and in question.

"Rethink your question no more Monsieur." Came an eerie voice from no where.

"Where did it come from!!?" Raoul said turning trying to find the source of the voice.

"I'm here the Phantom of the Opera Monsieur Vicomte de Chagny." The Phantom said his voice going from place to place.

"Raoul!" Joycelyn said standing holding onto his arm.

"It will be ok I promise." He said comfortingly to her but then turned his attention back to the Phantom. "What is it you want Monsieur!" He said as he continued to search for where the Phantom was hiding.

"I have come for my Christine!" The Phantom said as he appeared in front of Raoul and Joycelyn.

"There is no Christine here now leave!" Raoul screamed in fury.

"Do not lie to Monsieur, she is holding to your arm!" The Phantom also said in anger and frustration.

"Joycelyn!!?" He looked at her. Now that he thought about it she did look as they as had described Christine. "You can't have her, I won't let you!!!" He said standing completely in front of her protectively.

"Raoul…I…" Joycelyn began to say but how would she finish it? She was at a loss for words.

"Why don't we let her decide for herself." The Phantom said in a mysterious tone. "I am your Angel. Come to me: Angel of Music." He sand as he beckoned her to him drawing her into his spell.

Joycelyn's arms slowly fell from Raoul's and she stood there as if in a daze.

"Joycelyn what's wrong, Joycelyn!!!?" Raoul screamed looking at her in fear.

"I am your Angel. Come to me: Angel of Music." He continued to beckon.

Joycelyn started to walk forth in a daze not being able to control herself, it was as if he had cast a spell on her.

"Joycelyn no, don't listen to him!!! You know he is no Angel, he's a demon, an angel of darkness!!! Come back, Joycelyn come back!!!" Raoul screamed in persistency.

"Raoul!" Joycelyn said suddenly being broken out of the Phantom's spell by Raoul's words.

"Haha! To late Monsieur!" The Phantom said as he swooped his cloak over her and with that they were gone but the Phantom said these last words. "Vicomte if you ever wish to see Christine again all of my demands shall be met! You Obedient Servant O.G." Then he was gone.

"Joycelyn!!!" Raoul screamed as he ran trying to find her, but it was of no use. She was gone.

End of Chapter 2

AN- Hey I'm back! I am really proud of this fan fiction! I love it! This chapter really came out well I believe. There is more action and the Phantom is in this one a lot! I think we see more of Raoul's feelings for Joycelyn. I don't know everything I would like to happen in this fan fiction, but I have a lot of plans. My friend Tiffany is a huge Phantom fan and she really likes this, so yay I have a fan for this weeheee! You know the hardest thing about this fan fiction is the fact that you can never re create the wonderful story that they created for us. I was so excited about writing this and I can't wait to get to Chapter 3! Please review!
