Return to Me

The next morning, Christine had packed all her possessions and opened the lock of her door slowly.

When she peeked out, she let a quiet gasp escape from her.

Raoul fell asleep on a chair outside the room, like he did the morning before Christine left for the cemetery to visit her Father's anniversary.

Christine held her breath and tiptoed past Raoul who was snoring like a buzz saw.

She went towards the coat rack and slipped off the very same long dark blue cloak that she wore to her Father's grave.

Then, Christine quietly left the house with a bit of some money which Raoul always kept in a container on the kitchen table incase of emergencies.

She stopped a carriage which went by the street just then.

"To the Opera House, please Monsieur…" Christine whispered as she handed him the fare.

Christine saw the house disappearing behind the morning mist and she sighed.

The words had floated in her mind ever since Raoul kept using his love as an excuse:

In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go…Let me go

As she got off the carriage, she stared into the towering building of the great Opera House.

Apparently, Madame Giry made Sunday a day for the workers to rest.

A/N: Sad, because it would be interesting if she came on a weekday and Erik saw her arriving in the carriage. What would happen? I guess we shall never know : ) Unless someone writes a fanfic regarding that!

Christine entered into the great front hall where the grand staircase was.

She sighed as memories that happened months ago flooded back into her mind. She remembered dancing here during the Masquerade Ball.

Christine walked down the hallways and just as she turned around the corner, she bumped in Meg.

"Ouch!"

"I'm so sorry! I – "

"Christine! What are you doing here!"

"Are you hurt?"

"No, no! I'm fine!"

Then, Meg helped Christine up and brushed away the dust that was on her dress.

"How come you are here? I mean, it's not wrong to be here. I just – Never mind, what are you doing here?" Meg asked.

"I – I have decided to stay here now, Meg. If it is okay with you and your Mother…" Christine explained.

Meg smiled gleefully, "That would be most wonderful! Mother will be so happy! And so will Erik – "

Meg clasped her hand over her mouth as she felt the name Erik echoing throughout the passageway.

"Who?" Christine asked.

"I meant, no one. I wanted to say something else but instead that word came out by accident…" Meg stammered.

Christine narrowed her eyes, "Oh…I see…"

Meg shook her head, "Come, we must tell Mother!"

And they rushed to the director's office where Madame Giry was tirelessly trying to persuade Monsieur Andre and Monsieur Firmin to postpone the date where the Opera House was to reopen.

"Mother…Sorry to interrupt, Messieurs but – "

"Mrs. De Chagny! What a pleasant surprise!" Monsieur Firmin greeted standing up.

"Sorry, who?" Christine asked.

"Mrs. De Chagny! How nice to see you again!" Monsieur Andre stood up and walked over to kiss her hand.

"I – I don't understand, Messieurs…I – I'm not married!" Christine exclaimed.

The room froze.

"I beg your pardon?" Monsieur Firmin said.

"I'm not married to Ra – I mean, to the Vicomte! Who told you that!" Christine furiously asked.

"Why...The Vicomte himself, of course. He said you were married – Err…" Monsieur Firmin said, uncertain.

"Right after the tragedy in which that – "

Madame Giry shot a look at Monsieur Andre.

"I meant, in which the tragedy of the chandelier. He said you married on the same night after he rescued you from – I mean, after all that happened…" Monsieur Andre helplessly said after Madame Giry giving warning looks every now and then.

"Well, I am most certainly not, good sirs! I will never marry him! He is not of my concern nor is he even worthy of my love! Certainly he will remain as my friend but if he crosses one more line which he will in return lose my trust!" Christine snapped.

Madame Giry sighed, "That's enough, Christine. Seeing that you have arrived with a bag full of your belongings, my answer would be, yes, you are most certainly welcomed to stay as long as you like. Off you go, get her to the spare bedroom, Meg…"

"But Mother…We haven't told Eri – "

"Hush! We shall worry of that later! Go now, I have some issues to discuss with some good gentlemen…"

Meg led Christine into a room which was nearby the staircase leading up towards the rooftop.

"I don't remember this room…" Christine said.

"Oh, we asked the workers to build this room here. I wanted a room of my own but now I'm so happy I can share it with you!" Meg squealed and she set Christine bag at the side of another bed.

"It's a nice room, Meg."

It was indeed a small room but it was cozy just enough for two small people as themselves. It had two beds both leaning against the side of the walls but at different corners.

"I'll go get something for you to eat. I'll be right back. Make yourself comfortable!" Meg said and she rushed out.

Christine couldn't help smiling.

She felt so much happier than she ever had before for the first time since two months.

Christine then, decided to go visit the rooftop of the Opera House.

She carefully walked up the steps and pushed open the door of the roof.

She felt the cool air washing over her face as she walked towards the center of the area.


Erik was sitting day-dreaming absent mindedly behind a giant statue of a horse when he heard the door of the rooftop open slowly.

He expected it to be either Meg or Madame Giry but when he saw it was a long dark brown curly haired girl, he hid back behind the statue.

From his angle, he couldn't see the person's face so he continued to stare at this girl who had such a lovely figure.

Suddenly, he felt his heart stop when he heard a familiar angelic voice singing:

Angel of Music

Where are you now?

Angel of Music

Speak I listen

Here I am at last

Angel…

Erik wanted to scream and do something but when he saw the mysterious girl turn around to reveal the beautiful face of his one true love, Christine Daae, he was paralyzed.

She had lost some weight but she had the light in her face that captured his heart.

It seemed like such a long time that Christine stood there, staring out into the misty morning of the town.

Then, the door of the rooftop opened once more to reveal Meg who came up to Christine and said, "Christine, come with me. I want to show you something…"

And when they disappeared back down, Erik slumped down behind the statue.

His heart was beating wildly and he felt his blood rushing everywhere.

Christine was back!

Erik felt his face was going to explode with happiness and he sang out into the sky:

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in,
To the power of the music that I write…
The power of the Music of the Night!
