Sorry it has taken so long to write but here it is Chapter 2!
Chapter 2: Ballet Lessons and an Angel
Christine and Meg ran to the stage to get to ballet practice.
"Girls you are late, you'd better practice very hard, tonight is a performance" Madame Giry said sternly.
"Madame Giry, not to be rude or anything but I've never done ballet, I'm not ready to dance in a performance," Christine said quietly.
"Mademoiselle Daae, you will learn ballet today and perform it tonight no matter what it takes!" Madame Giry yelled as she stomped her cane onto the ground making Christine tremble.
"Sorry Madame Giry" Christine said as she got back into line to dance.
Christine spent the whole day learning ballet and got one break. She got an hour to herself before the performance; Meg brought her down to the chapel area to let Christine pray for her father.
"Here it is Christine, I will leave you alone until we have to go" Meg said as she fled upstairs.
Christine kneeled before the candle that was lit by her fathers name and said:
"My dear father,
Please send my angel of music soon I don't want to be a dancer for the rest of my life!"
Christine then began to sing for her father to prove to him that she needed this angel and she needed him soon.
Erik passed by the chapel area while Christine was down there singing.
"That voice…it's so…so beautiful, so pure, so divine I must know where it comes from" He said to himself.
He walked over to where the sweet sound was bringing him and saw Christine singing there all alone in the solitude.
"That voice belongs to the new ballet girl Madame Giry brought, well she won't be a ballet girl long, when she becomes 16 she will sing operas and I will teach her, I'll be her teacher." Erik said
"Father as you can see I need an angel…I need my angel of music!" Christine cried out.
Erik smiled a sly smile and thought up a great idea.
"My dear I have come…" Erik said, his voice echoing the room
"Who…who is there?" Christine stuttered.
"It is I your angel of music," Erik said
"Angel you have finally come!" Christine cried out
"Yes my dear I have come, I have come to teach you because of your lovely voice." Erik said.
"Did my father send you?" Christine asked
"Yes your father did send me, he told me that you have a divine voice but no teacher" Erik lied.
"Angel, I am not sure we have had a proper introduction…my name is Christine Daae." Christine said curtsying to Erik.
"Christine what a beautiful name" Erik said.
"Thank you angel" Christine said.
'Christine have you been taught before your father died?" Erik asked
"A little bit…my father did teach me a bit but not a lot" Christine said in a disappointed tone.
"That isn't a problem Christine I can teach you everything, now you better get going the gala is in an hour you have to get ready." Erik said
"Of course I'll go right now as long as you will watch me angel," Christine said
"I won't miss a minute, I promise" Erik said.
Christine smiled and ran off to get ready.
"She is such a sweet girl, I'll teach her voice until it is the most precious thing she owns, though that will be hard she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen nothing compares to her, not even music, music is ugly compared to her. Christine…she is just so…so flawless" Erik said as he went to get up to box 5.
