Chapter 1: Death notice
Erik sat in his lair a year after the Opera house had gone on fire, luckily the lair hadn't changed a bit, the mob did nothing to it but still something was missing, Christine and her voice that was what was missing.
"Why did I let you go with Him?" Erik asked himself.
"Erik?" a voice asked.
"Who dares enter the phantom's lair?" Erik asked in his booming voice.
"Antoinette Giry" Madame Giry said as she walked over to Erik holding a note.
"Antoinette what are you doing here?" Erik asked eyeing the note in Madame Giry's hand.
"I came here to give you this note from Meg" Antoinette said holding out the note.
"From Meg?" Erik asked.
"Yes from Meg, its very important information about Christine" Antoinette said once again handing him the note.
"Have you read it?" Erik asked.
"No I can truthfully say I haven't read it" Antoinette said.
Erik took the note and opened it reading over it slowly.
"What does it say?" Antoinette asked
"It says:
Dear Erik,
I know that you and I don't know each other well but Christine has told me all about you and what you have done. I just wanted to let you know that Christine needs you over at the hospital, she just had twins but she won't say who the father is. Now before you put this letter down I have just one more thing to say, Christine has fallen ill and is asking for you to come and see her one last time.
Meg Giry
"Christine…ill…no!" Erik said as tears flowed freely down his masked cheek and unmasked cheek.
"Erik you need to get over there" Antoinette said.
Erik nodded as he left his lair and began to walk out of the newly rebuilt opera house, trying to stay n the shadows to not be seen.
Antoinette walked out of the Opera house and into a carriage towards Raoul's mansion with another note in hand.
Raoul sat on his chair as he thought about Christine, as soon as they left the Opera house he was sent a note saying he had to leave Paris for a couple of months for business. Christine stayed behind hoping Raoul would be safe and would be able to leave earlier. The minute he got home to Paris he went into the newly rebuilt opera house, but Christine wasn't there, and she wasn't in the de Changy mansion she was nowhere to be found.
"Christine I wish I could see you again," Raoul said for the millionth time that day.
As soon as Raoul said that there was a knock at the door, Raoul opened the door and saw Madame Giry holding a note.
"Madame Giry why are you here?" Raoul asked.
Madame Giry sighed as she handed Raoul a note.
"Read it and you will find out what is wrong" Madame Giry said.
Raoul took the note from Madame Giry's hand and read what was written.
"Monsieur Raoul de Changy,
I know that we have never talked too much but Christine has told me about the days when you were young playing at the house by the beach and your engagement. She has also told me many times she is sorry she left you, but right now she needs you at the hospital, you see monsieur she had twins but she won't tell who the father is. A few days after she had the twins she fell ill and now the doctors have said that there is no doubt she will die soon, and she really wants to see you one last time before she dies so please come as soon as you can.
Meg Giry
"Christine is sick I need to get over there now!" Raoul said to himself.
Forgetting that Madame Giry was in the room he put on his coat, got his carriage set up and rode to see Christine.
How is it so far?
