A Late Night Tour and A Mask:
Amy had walked to the entrance and checked the door.
"Its locked" she mumbled "Great came down here and the door is locked I should have known
it would have been locked" she thought but her thoughts were interrupted.
"Qui est là?" came a voice
Amy jumped and turned to see a flashlight coming her way, she didn't panic though the security guard sure did frighten her.
"Um…its me, Amy,-Amy de' Monte" she said as the light of the flash light blinded her eyes.
"Do you have identification Miss-"
"de' Monte" said Amy
"Could you please hold him please" she said gesturing to the rat.
"Um….sûr" he said taking the rat.
Amy dug through her front pocket and then her back pockets.
"I-I know I have it some-where" she stammered. Had she left it in her room? She couldn't
remember where exactly she put it. Amy thought franticly when she heard someone else running
down the hall.
"Hey anyone here!" yelled a voice
Amy recognized that voice it was Mark.
"We need some help!" he yelled again
The security guard jumped and dropped the rat and went scurrying away.
"I'm sorry, mademoiselle," he said taking out some hand cuffs and placing one on Amy wrist
and then one on his own. "You'll have to come with me".
They rushed up the stairs and down the right hallway to find Mark pacing back and forth.
"What's wrong, monsieur?" he asked as he and Amy had come to a stop right in front of him.
"Amy?" he said.
"You know this woman monsieur?" he asked.
"Yes, she is playing Christine Daae in my movie" he said
He un-cuffed Amy; she rubbed the mark the cuffs had made on her wrists.
"My apologies, mademoiselle" he said
"No, really its my fault. I should have grabbed my Drivers License." she said
A scream was heard upstairs, then foot steps and then another scream.
"Help!" yelled Alice
Previously………
Erik had thought of a brilliant idea while sitting on the stage; a menaced smile spread
across his lips. He moved quickly, making his way up the stairs and to Vincent's room. He looked up and down the hall before retrieving his master key from his pocket. He then gently slid it in the lock, turned the handle, made his way into his room and shut the door. It took only moments before his eyes adjusted. He made his way to were Vincent slept, his lips parted into a mocking smile.
"Foolish boy, mocking the Phantom resolves to death." he whispered taking out is Punjab lasso.
He was just about to strike when he noticed on the nightstand Vincent's mask and a sketch pad. Curiosity getting the better of him, he grabbed the sketch book and opened it, flipping through the pages, seeing pictures of landscapes of various things: ocean, mountains, and sky-scrapers. He stopped on a page; a smile played across his lips. The picture was of Amy who was sitting on a bench, looking out at the sky. He closed the book and placed it inside his coat pocket then grabbed the mask.
"Maybe, my friend, I can use this to my advantage" he said to the sleeping Vincent and left the room…………
"Oh my god! What happened!" asked Mark, seeing Chad unconscious on the floor in the doorway of the lighting and electrical room. A candle stick holder lay a foot away from where Chad's unconscious body lay; Alice was beside him crying. Amy knew she was more scared then worried about Chad's life.
"Don't just stand there!" barked Mark to the security guard, "Call an ambulance!"
Celia and Vincent emerged from there rooms.
"Oh my god" said Celia "W-What happened?" she asked.
The security guard raced down the stairs. From what Amy could hear, it seemed he was consulting with another security guard.
"Don't you see?" said Vincent "Its like clue, and I bet it was Professor Plum." he said, a smile spreading across his face he chuckled at his own humor.
"Vincent, please, we don't need your sarcasm at a time like this" said Mark angrily
"I can help," said Celia, "My mom was a nurse" she said moving beside Chad.
"Alice, I am going to need a pillow." as soon as Celia had spoken Alice was off, "Amy, I need a blanket and Vincent, I need some ice." she said.
Amy rushed to her room, then she stopped dead in her tracks. Her door was shut; she had swore she had left it open, so that if she had forgotten her key, she wouldn't be locked out. She opened the door and was greeted by a gust of cold air.
"It's freezing in here" she said through chattering teeth
She s rubbed her arms for warmth as she walked over to the windows and shut them. Before retrieving the blanket from her bed, she walked to the door and turned her head to find a pair of eyes staring at her, though it was dark she could tell she was being watched but thought only a mind trick and left her room closing the door behind her. Erik had indeed been watching Amy come and go previously he had been searching her room for her script hoping to steal it but had found none . Meanwhile Amy walked back to Celia and had handed her the blanket she could already hear the ambulance sirens, Alice was kneeling by Chad's side. A security guard checked the room for any evident to the perpetrator.
"I got the ice!" said Vincent in pants running up the stairs.
"Good, bring it here" said Celia
Vincent had nearly tripped up the last step but he caught his balance and handed it to Celia, she then placed it on Chad's head.
"I wonder who could have done th-" but Celia's words were cut short
"Monsieur I found something!" yelled the security guard from the room.
Mark who had been on the land of the stairs smoking a cigarette quickly ran up the very few steps.
"What-What is it!" he said anxiously.
The security guard handed him a pearly-white mask.
"Vincent is this yours?" Mark asked giving him a sideways glance
Vincent went white, and his eye's widened.
"Is it yours or not boy!" barked the security guard.
Vincent looked at the mask which Mark held in his bony fingers. "I swear it was in my room I locked my door and everything" he thought but then his eyes turned towards Chad's body. "That bastard set me up!" he muttered
"Did you do this?" asked Amy who's eyes had hate, sadness, and fear.
"Oh could I!" said Vincent to everyone "I was in my room sleeping you saw me come out".
Richard, Andrew, and Alicia had come down from the floor above.
"What is going on he-" Richard stopped and saw Chad's body.
"My god what happened?" asked Alicia.
"Were not sure" said Celia.
"Do you have a witness who could verify your story" asked the security guard.
Vincent was going to answer but the paramedics had reached them, "Please move aside they said", Celia and Alice moved away from Chad's body and stood off to the side. Everyone else had moved aside and t watched them strap Chad to the stretcher and carry him down the stairs, they could hear shouts and the sound of camera's flashing. Mark had lit another cigarette.
"Do you have a witness?" repeated the security guard.
"No" muttered Vincent with his head down.
"Then you'll have to come with me" he said taking out hand-cuffs and place them on Vincent.
Vincent and the security guard walked down the few steps but Vincent turned around to plead his innocents. "You guys know I would never do such a thing" he said the security pulled him harder, the rest just shaked there head disapprovingly all but Amy who just stared at him with tears, "Amy you know I didn't do this!" he yelled as they turned the corner of the stairs. Then Vincent had disappeared from site but you could still hear his voice echoing off the walls.
"I would never think he would do this" said Celia who moved over next to Amy.
"He looked like a nice boy" said Alicia.
"Yeah, nice and deranged!" barked Alice.
"Let's all go to bed" said Mark "Tomorrow we'll be paying for it for sure" he said grimly.
Everyone walked back to there rooms all except Celia and Amy.
"Are you alright?" asked Celia putting her hand gently on her shoulder.
"He would never do such a thing to Chad" she said her voice choking "They were like brothers" she laughed and wiped her tears.
"Don't worry Amy they'll find whoever did it don't worry now come on lets go" she said guiding Amy back.
Faintly in the back of her mind a voice was heard a sad but beautiful voice that whispered in her mind. Amy looked back she had swore she had seen a figure behind the statue on the banister but blink and saw nothing.
"He's with me even now, all around me" she thought
"Who is this man who hunts to kill?"
"It frightens me" said Amy through watery eyes
"Don't be frightened Amy" said Celia and turned and wiped Amy's fallen tears "Everything will be alright" she said patting her hand and smiled "Good night " she said and walked away.
Amy looked back at the statue seeing the silhouettefigure hidden in the shadows.
"He's here the Phantom of the Opera" she sung in a whisper and entered her room.
