Chapter Seven: Reinforcements:
Madame Giry rushed to find her daughter Meg. She could not ignore the cold shiver that ran down her spin. The Madame had a feeling that the Phantom had done something terrible to her daughter.
"Excuse me, Madame Giry."
Giry turned around to see Catherin. "Can this wait, I have to find Meg."
"Do not worry, she is in her room. I just came from there." Catherin told her. "However, she is not feeling well. I have come here to tell you that Meg has passed the part over to me because she is not feeling well."
"What do you mean?" asked Giry.
"She mummbles something of a ghost who haunts her." Catherin answered. "Pardon me for being blunt Madame, but do you think that this has something to do with the scandle?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The Opera Ghost."
Madame Giry pulled Catherin. "Please, lower your voice. What scandle do you speak of?"
"You know what I speak of, the Phantom of the Opera." repeated Catherin. She thought she would recieve a shocking reaction from her teacher, but there was none. Then she put it all together. "You know he is here, don't you."
"Yes."
"And you say nothing."
"No."
"Why?"
"I will when the right time comes."
"Madame, please, you must do something now. He has taken over your daughter's mind, and her body!" Catherin blurted out.
A cold shiver ran down Giry's spine. She knew what Catherin meant by that. The Phantom had crossed the line. "Catherin, please, do not speak of this to no one, I mean it. If you let out one word of this, I will destroy you. Understand?"
Catherin nodded. "What happens now?"
"You act as if this conversation has never taken place. I will send for reinforcements. The Phantom of the Opera will be stopped."
"How can I help?"
"I will call upon you when the time comes, all right." Madame Giry watched as the girl bowed her head. "Now, go. I have to take care of something."
The Madame waited until her student was out of sight. Then, she made her way towards her office. She closed the door behind her. Giry took a seat at her desk. She grabbed some paper and a quil. It was not long before a personal letter was finished and sent off to it's owner...
Dearest Christine,
I do not write of good news. Darkness has once again fallen over the Opera House. The Phantom has returned. He has taken an interest in my daughter. I feel for her well being. I can not do this alone. I need your help. We must take care of this monster. Please, return to Paris so we can bring his reign of terror at an end.
Madame Giry.
Christine's face grew pale after she read the letter. The Phantom had returned...
"My dear, what is it?" Raoul asked.
Christine handed him the letter. After he was done, he knew why his beloved was now white as a ghost. "He has Meg, Raoul..." Christine could not help but cry for her friend.
Raoul embraced his love and assured her that everything would be all right. Christine was not convienced. The two had fled to America to escape from the dark creature. The thought the nightmare was over, but it seemed it was not.
"I thought the Phantom had learned from his sins." replied Christine as she pulled away from her beloved.
"Christine, that thing, whom, or whatever he is, will forever be a monster." Raoul said to her. "He will never learn."
"What are we going to do?"
"We will go back." Raoul answered. "I could not stop then. I will stop him now, for you sake as well as Meg's."
"I do not know if I can face him again." said Christine, lowering her head.
"You are a strong woman." Raoul replied. Christine looked up at him and smiled. "We have done this before. I know we can do it again, and this time we will not fail."
Raoul called upon one of his servents. The servent stood before him, ready to take his order. "I will need you to pack some thing for us. Do it as quickly as possible. We must make haste and leave tonight."
"Where are you going sir?" the servent asked.
"To Paris."

Author's Notes: Sorry if this chapter fills rushed. This was more like a fill in you know? Plus, I wanted to bring back some original characters: Raoul and Christine. I also wanted to add another chapter for an exchange for the last long update. Next chapter coming soon. And stay tuned because things are going to get even more interesting. In a good way or bad? Sorry, I'm not telling! You have to read and find out!
Reviewer Shout-Outs: GerrysISUChick04 - I've been dying to see Timeline! It looks really awsome! It's got to be kick arse if Gerry is in it. I can't wait to see him play a good guy. One of my friends has both Tomb Raiders, I'm going to have to ask her if I can borrow them. Hopefully I won't have the urge to "borrow without permission", since Gerry is in it. LOL! I think that the two Scottie Hotties should do a movie together. That would be so cool! More even if it was another musical! Anyway: since your name is spelled different, it shouldn't matter. LOL! I chose that name because it was another C name, like Christine. I know it doesn't make any sense now, but you'll see what I mean later on.
Melinda - LOL! I'm glad you have taken your anger out on her. Sorry, but she still lives, and will live on through out the story. steps away from angry reviewers Please don't hurt me.
