CHAPTER TWO

The Opera Ghost watched her for about an hour or so. Soon he moved away going to his organ he adored! In awhile Rose woke up. Rose sat straight up breathing heavily and holding herself up. She looked around pulling the curtain up. Rose opened the door and went out seeing the Opera Ghost. The Opera Ghost turned round and looked at her standing looking at her.

"Please do not be frightened I will not harm you", he said calm and loving. Rose walked down the steps slowly going to him. "What is your name?" O.G asked.

"My name is…" she thought for a moment trying to figure it out, "…I'm Rose, Rose Sophia..."

"It's a beautiful name Rose. I am Erik or if you like Angel", Erik did a small bow. Rose nodded. "How did I get here?" Rose asked curiously.

"Ah! About that…I brought you down here this is my home. I live below the Opera Populaire'. I had to take you away from that horrible man..." Erik said with the last part with gritted teeth, "…you must be cold with wet clothes I shall get some for you"

"Oh um...that's not necessary I'm fine…there's no need" Rose said looking at her hands. "Is everything alright Miss?" He asked concerned. "Everything's fine…I…I just need to think I need to process what has exactly happened from the last few hours…" Rose replied with a bit of a lie in there.

Erik went over to her and toke her to the couch. "Sit and think then. I'm here if you need me" Erik smiled a bit and moved a piece of hair out of her face and then slowly moving away slowly to the organ. Rose watched him as he sat down and started to play. Rose rubbed her eyes making sure this was true and not make believe. Rose opened her eyes and saw it was true, she sat there sort of frightened not knowing what to do and still processing what was happening around her.

"Miss…" Erik turned round and motioned Rose to go over to him and sit down, "…please come I will not hurt you". Rose stood and went over to him sitting down. "Do you sing or anything?" Erik asked curiously.

"I did sing once…I don't anymore" Rose replied politely. "Well, I would love to hear this voice you talk about it. It would be nice to hear a different voice than just mine" Erik said looking at the keys of the organs. "If you sing all the time your voice must be beautiful…like the side that does not hide behind a white mask…" Rose looked at him. Erik could do nothing but be silent and think of what she had just said. No-one has ever thought me beautiful…everyone showed hatred, anger and pity towards me…maybe Rose is different we shall wait and see what she is like! "Thank you Rose…you're the first person who had thought me beautiful…" Erik looked down at the keys.

"Everybody is beautiful in there on way whether inside or outside…you're both" Rose kissed his cheek. Rose stood from the bench and then went over to the lake. Erik held his cheek taking the kiss in hoping she wouldn't leave.
