All Rose Have Thorns
Thanks for all the reviews. It makes me so happy.
Caroline sat beside her father as the last person left the room. Benoit looked over at his daughter, who looked like she was going to fall asleep. "Well, what do you think?" Caroline yawned "Well, I think the Madme Giry will be good. And I guess Mister La Blanc will do. But I'm not sure how it all works." Benoit smiled "You know I was think the same. Madme Giry will be able to helps us pull the Opera house back together." Caroline smiled "May I go for a walk, I need to strech my legs." Her father nodded his head 'Yes, you may."
Caroline sigh with relief when she got out of the room. She walked up the stairs and back to the door that was blocked. She took a deep breath and turned the door nob. She walking into the large room.
Dried up petals cover the floor of the room, it looked as if someone pull each petal was pulled off one by one. The room was half burnt from the former fire. There was dust on all the furniture. Caroline ran her finger in the dust, then wiped it off. She made a line on the vanity. She walked up to the mirror, she couldn't see through it because the dust was so thick. Caroline wiped away the dust from it with her hand. She looked at herself in it. On the edge on the mirrom, she saw a hand mark.
Her heart started to race. Someone has been in the room not long ago. Caroline backed up and looked around the room, to see if anyone was there. Her eyes found the bed, the bed that was a mess of blankets and was not covered in dust. Caroline walked up to it and touched the bed. It was still warm, unlike the rest of the room. Someone was just laying in the bed not to long ago. Caroline looked for another door in the room, but she couldn't find one.
She slowly walked to the door and was about to turn the door nob "What are you doing here?" A voice said. Caroline turned around quickly, but there was no one there. "Show your self. This is my Opera House and I will get the police." She then heard a laugh, as if it was mocking her. "Your Opera House?" Caroline's heart raced faster. So then turned to opened the door and ran out as fast as she could.
On the way home, Benoit noticed how tense his daughter was "Is everything alright?" Caroline, who was lost in thought, turned towards her father "Everything is just fine." Then she looked out the window again. Benoit looked at her "Are you sure?" Caroline just sighed "Yes, Father, I'm sure."
Caroline laid in bed eyes searching the room. She could still her that haunted voice in her head and the laugh that made her hair stand up. Caroline closed her eyes and thought of Raymond and his soft voice that she fell in love with. Think of Raymond made her relax and she fell in a light sleep.
The next day when they arrived at the Opera House, Catherine went with them. Caroline slowed down when the past the stair that lead up to the room amd looked up to see if there was anyone there. Catherine looked at her with amusement "Are you looking for something?" Caroline looked at her a smiled "No, Of course not." Catherine looked up "Is it the Phantom?" Caroline glared at her "There is no Phantom." but she didn't look to sure. Catherine had a sly smile on her face "You have head something. I can tell, your jumpy.
Caroline moved closer to her sister "Alright. I was in a room up stairs and I heard someone. I couldn't see him, but I heard him." Catherine smiled "I told you there was a Phantom." Caroline jaw tightened "I don't know who it was, but his voice was haunted and sad. I'm not saying there is a Phantom, but there is someone."
