Yuki: Alright here's more, sorry it took me so long to update, I lost my muse for awhile, but I caught him.
He had taken me somewhere that I never knew existed, he trained my voice with me, but what good would it do? Auditions were already over, what could this Phantom do for me now? I woke up in my bed, slightly worried, he had killed people to keep Christine in the lead role, would he do something so devious for me? I opened my eyes thinking about the song that we had song together, my voice was better than I had ever heard it. I sat up, picking different lyrics out of the song,
'Your spirit,' well, it could be his actual spirit or metaphorical speaking. He was a man when he was helping Christine; perhaps he was a spirit now? But what condemned his soul to this earth? This was easy, somewhat. I've never heard about a ghost that could have a physical presents on the earth and actually effect things around them, besides people. I glanced at the clock, oh crap, late for rehearsal. I jumped up and dressed, running to the theater. As I entered I could have sworn that I heard someone whisper.
"You alone can make my song take flight."
I looked around, it must have been the strange after affects of that dream, that's what it was, a dream. 'In sleep he sang to me/ in dreams he came' I smiled slightly, it was a pleasant dream. I shook my head and started running to the stage.
"You're late," Our instructor, Mrs. Dane spotted me before I could get backstage.
"Sorry, I managed to over sleep, I...Uh wasn't feeling well." I continued walking.
"So you slept until seven at night?" She glared at me, I froze as Mrs. Grey walked up to Mrs. Dane.
"She spent the rest of the day with her new tutor." She glanced at me.
I blinked trying to look innocent, "I didn't want to tell you," I ran off back stage before Mrs. Dane could ask me anymore questions. Did Mrs. Grey know about the Phantom?
I ran right into Nikki who gave me the strangest look, "Ready?"
"Of course I am," I smiled sweetly, "Break a leg"
She smiled, "How nice of you to wish me luck….on practice." She walked out.
I grinned to myself, "I wasn't wish you luck, I was wishing you to actually break a leg." I mumbled as I walked on stage. That voice whispered acrossed the stage, "so it shall be."
I sighed, "Alright, Angel of music, right? That's where we're at?"
Niki nodded, "you would know if you had actually been on time."
I rolled my eyes, "Let's just do this."
I cleared my throat, "Where in the world/ have you been hiding?/ really you were/ perfect! / I only wish/ I knew your secret/ who is this new tutor?" We weren't too far into the rehearsals so we were only running lines and songs right now. Nikki and I were both close to the edge of the stage so that Mrs. Dane and Mrs. Grey could hear us well.
Nikki glared at me slightly as she started, ah the fun of competition, "father once spoke of an angel…" she was cut off quickly by one of the tech people yelling.
"Heads!"
Nikki and I both looked up and saw a 2X4 falling from above, I simply stepped back, but Nikki being the drama queen she is jumped from the stage screaming.
"Sara!" Mrs. Dane yelled looking up from where the board had fallen from.
"Yes?" Sara came out from the second wing on the right of the stage.
"Who dropped that board?!" Mrs. Dane was furious, as always.
"No one was up there; there are only two tech people here today and we're both working on customs." Sara's eyes were wide showing too much white.
I glanced at Mrs. Grey and she looked back with knowing eyes.
Mrs. Dane shook her head in frustration, "I'm trying to run a production here with less than average children!"
I finally looked down at Niki who was curled in a little ball crying, "Um, you alright?"
Turned out, that was a stupid question, Niki had broken a leg and could no longer perform. Needless to say practice was canceled for that night.
