Chapter nine
Because I Learn
Christine slumbered in her suite until Madame Giry shook her awake. She sat up groggily in her bed. Her eyes were still adjusting to the light.
"Where were you?" Madame Giry demanded.
Christine didn't answer her. Madame shook her head and sighed.
"Fine don't tell me. But you have a visitor." Madame Giry said. Christine stood up and followed her into the sitting area. There stood a flustered Raoul.
"Christine!" He exclaimed hugging her.
"Raoul, it's so good to see you." She said hugging him back.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
Christine looked around to make sure Madame Giry couldn't hear her. She then sat Raoul down and began her tale.
"Raoul, the 'Angel of Music' visited me and helped me sing. After the performance he took me to his home and told me he was no angel."
"Christine you've gone mad."
A look of dismay crossed Christine's face.
"You don't believe me?"
"Christine I think you've lost it."
Christine stood up in distress.
"He took me to his home!"
Raoul sat Christine down again.
"Christine, there is no secret home in the bowels of the ship. Nothing like that could be hidden. You must have been dreaming. Now come let's go to supper." Raoul led Christine out of the room and down the hall to a much needed dinner.
"I will not allow it!" Carlotta screamed at the managers in their port side office.
"Please Carlotta; we want you to sing as well." Firmin assured her.
"This Phantom is messed up!" Andre added.
"It must be some sort of prank." Firmin said.
"Of course, a prank. We must figure out who thinks we're stupid enough to fall for a prank like this. The only Phantom on this ship is a ghost!"
"A ghost who couldn't do anything!"
"Except it dropped a mini chandelier on Carlotta…" Andre said.
"That was faulty wiring. The ghost had nothing to do with it."
"What about the backdrop?"
"A stage hand."
"I will sing The Countess tonight!" Carlotta yelled.
"Of course you will!" Firmin said.
"Miss. Daae will be playing the pageboy!" Andre added.
"Then it's settled." Firmin said.
"Thank you." Carlotta said walking out of the manager's office. Both of them sighed with relief. Above them Erik crouched listing to the conversation.
So… You dare mess with me? A disaster beyond your imagination will occur! This ship has a curse on it!
Raoul and Christine stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the waves.
"Christine, I remember I was in my room and I heard an angelic voice coming from here a few weeks ago. I now know that was you." He said hugging her.
She hugged him back. "Oh Raoul…"
"Christine I love you." Raoul suddenly blurted out.
Christine looked into his big brown eyes; they were full of truth.
"I love you to."
If Erik hadn't been in the manager's office plotting what to do because Carlotta would be playing the lead he would have heard their secret confession and it would have ripped his heart out.
