I am so glad you enjoyed this story. Here are the replies:
PhantomLover05: Thank you for reviewing. I'll try to update this story as much as I can. I have three stories going at the same time so it will be hard to update everyday.
PersonageoftheUnderverse: Your review sounded as if someone attempted to break into your house. LOL! Thanks for reviewing, glad you liked it.
Okay, here is the next chapter!
Chapter Two: The Authoress
By the end of the movie, Tal and Bri were crying and Erik looked as if his eyes were about to bulge out of his head.
"Christine leaves me for that…that…" Erik trailed trying to think of a word to call Raoul.
"That fop?" Talia finished for Erik.
"Exactly!" Erik shouted.
"Erik, do you even know what the meaning of the word fop is?" Tal asked.
"Of course I do…not."
"That's what I thought."
"I bet it means something really terrible, though."
"That much is correct."
"Then I don't need to know the meaning."
"Whatever you say, Erik. I mean, it's not that bad. Christine did have the hotts for Raoul before she met you, but she didn't have to leave you hanging like that. That was so low of her," Tal exclaimed.
"I totally agree," Bri said.
"I have no idea what you ladies are talking about, but it is time for you to take your leave. Pack your belongings and get out of my house," Erik said, getting annoyed by the girls' conversation.
"But Erik, we have no where else to go," Tal stated matter of factly.
"That is none of my concern."
"Erik-" Bri attempted to say.
"I SAID GO!" Erik shouted at the girls. They packed up and quickly made their way towards the boat. They were about to enter the gondola when a floating white orb rounded the corner and headed towards them. Brianna yelped and stood behind Talia. The orb floated right up to them and leveled down to their faces.
"You two are not going anywhere," the orb said.
"Talia, I think the floating sparkly thingy is talking to us," Bri exclaimed.
"Why thank you for pointing that out to me, Mrs. Obvious," Tal said with dripping sarcasm. The orb floated to Erik now.
"You will keep them here with you, Erik."
"And who are you to tell me what to do?" Erik asked, angrily.
"I am the Authoress and I control ever character in this story."
"Right. Like I'm suppose to believe that." (The Authoress types some words into her keyboard.) Erik started to run towards the lake with a horrified expression on his face. The girls backed away from the lake and watched in amazement as Erik leapt into the air and froze in midair over the lake. The orb floated over to Erik.
"Do you believe me now?" the orb asked sweetly.
"Yes, yes. Now just get me down from here."
"As you wish." (Authoress types more words on her keyboard.) Erik unfroze and fell into the icy water.
"Wow," Bri said. "Hey, Authoress, do you think you could give us some dry clothes?"
"I will send something to you in a little while. Good luck with Erik, you are going to need it. Ta ta!" The orb then shrunk until it completely disappeared from sight as a rather enraged and drenched Erik came out of the water and walked towards the girls. They started to back away slowly.
"I don't care what she says, you two are leaving, now!" Erik said, trapping them in a corner. Suddenly there came a big crash of thunder from within the lair. Erik looked around nervously, afraid that the Authoress was going to make him do another horrid thing. "On second thought, you may stay here as long as you wish," he said, hating every word he said.
"Oh goodie!" Brianna squealed.
"Erik, I can see you really don't want us here, so we will just stay out of your way if you let us stay here until we can find a way back to our time. Is it a deal?" Talia asked.
"That sounds like a great plan. If you ladies would be so kind as to follow me, I will show you to your room." Erik grabbed their bag and motioned them to follow him. They went down a dark corridor with a few doors until they came upon the last door. He unlocked the door and walked in. He set the bag down in a corner and lit a few candles showing that the room was rather dusty.
"This will be your room from now on. I must admit it does need some cleaning but I'm sure you two can handle it without my help. I hope you enjoy your night, Mademoiselles." Erik went to the door and took one last glance at his new companions.
"Goodnight, Erik," Tal and Bri said at the same time.
"Goodnight," Erik said, shutting the door. In the hallway came another crash of thunder and a surprised yelped from Erik.
"What was that for? I didn't do anything wrong!" Erik shouted from the other side of the door.
"I know. I just felt like doing that," said the Authoresses voice. Talia and Brianna started cracking up.
"I think I like this Authoress person," Bri said.
"Yeah, she is really cool."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome," Tal and Bri said in unison.
"I must be going. Oh, and a gift will arrive for you in a minute. Goodbye girls."
"See ya," they responded.
"Is it cold in here or is it just me?" Tal asked, rubbing her arms.
"It is cold in here. Let's find some new clothing."
I think I can help you with that.
Brianna and Talia looked all around the room for the mysterious voice. "Where are you?" asked Tal, not finding the owner.
I'm over here, in the corner of the room. They looked at a corner of the room and saw their bag.
"Hey Bri, is the bag talking to us?"
"I think it is, Tal."
It has a name. I am the RAAW bag.
"Raw?" they asked in unison.
Not raw, RAAW. It stands for Request at a Whim.
"That is a cheesy name," Bri said walking over to the bag and poking it.
Hey, don't do that. Trust me, I know. I'm not the one who came up with it.
"Deal with it!" the Authoresses voice said. The RAAW Bag started to shake at the Authoresses voice.
Yes, ma'am.
"Okay, so what exactly is it that you do?"
I give you items that you need. Just ask me for them and they will appear inside of me.
"Alright, let's give it a try. Could you give us a pair of dry clothes please?" Tal asked. There came a rustle from inside the bag.
Okay girls, come and get your things.
Tal went over and opened the bag and pulled out its contents. The first outfit was a pair of pajama pants with stars and moons on it with a black tee shirt. The second was a pair of plaid green and blue pants and another black tee shirt with the Phantoms mask and rose printed on it. Bri got the first outfit and Tal got the second.
"Thank you, RAAW."
No problem. The girls got changed and looked around the room. There was a dresser, a desk, a king sized bed, and two bed stands on each side of the bed. A lot of the things looked unused and dusty.
"Uh, Tal, I think we should clean up a bit."
"Ya think?" she said sarcastically. "Okay, uh, bag, do you think you could manage some rags and cleaning sprays.
Why of course. There came another rustle from inside the bag and inside were two rags, a roll of paper towel, a bottle of 409, and a bottle of Lysol. The girls took the items and started to neaten up their new room. It was about two hours later when they were completely satisfied with their handy work.
"I don't know about you Bri, but I'm beached. I'm going to sleep. You coming?"
"Yeah, the events from today totally wiped me out." They went to the bed and snuggled underneath the red velvet covers.
"Goodnight, Tal."
"Goodnight, Bri."
"Goodnight, girls."
"Goodnight, RAAW," they said in unison.
"Goodnight, Erik!" Talia shouted, even though she knew that he couldn't hear her. All three soon drifted off into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Like? Hate? Let me know. I'll continue if you want me to. For now, review and tell me what you think. I have a great idea for this story and will update as soon as I can!
