And NOW DEAR READERS...CHAPTER1! YAY!

She was an outcast. She never celebrated with the other dancers, stage hands, or any other crew member. She mainly stuck to herself. She was only 16, but she loved her job as a costume designer. Many of the other staff looked down on her for her shyness, and how she never had any fun. She rarely left the opera house, only when she needed to. Never for a shopping spree, or to go see how have many boys you can get to tried to court her, like the other dancers. She had come there right after they rebuilt the Opera Populair, she had herd it had caught on fire. The others trembled at the stories of the Opera Ghost, and how he kidnapped a chorus girl. She never believed the stories.

The girl, Katherine, sat at her dresser brushing her auburn hair. She stared at her green-brown eyes; her mother always said they were beautiful. She smiled at her reflection; the only make-up she wore was black charcoal eyeliner. It brought out her eyes.

Author: THE END! Jk, on with the story...

There was a quiet knock on her door, she quickly got up, and opened the door. It was Kody, a fellow crew member, he was a stage hand. He was one of Katherine's only friends at the Opera Populair. She was always grateful for Kody's help and opinions on her costumes. When working with La Carlotta, you can use all the help you can get. La Carlotta always blamed Katherine for a minor flaw in her costume, Katherine never liked her, but the managers adored the money she brought in.

"Are you ready to go, we have to try to fix La Carlotta's costume before she notices that the skirt isn't hemmed." Kody said, while ushering her out the door.

"Okay, okay, no need to hurry. We have 20 minuets before rehearsal time." Katherine said laughing.

Kody always was paranoid when it came to La Carlotta, of course who wouldn't be? The two headed to the dusty old costume room, she was the only one who went in there usually, and the other costume designers always had to sew in privacy. Katherine never minded a crowd, many said that she would do great in the chorus, but she never really thought of singing as a career. She once asked her mother, when she was only a small child, if she could become an opera star. Her mother scolded her for that, and said that singing was only but a silly hobby, not a real occupation. Katherine always wanted to design clothes, and such, and being a designer for the various opera's costumes was close to what she wanted to do.

Katherine carefully got Carlotta's costume, careful not to cause to jewels to fall off, and gave it to Kody.

"You can't really expect me to put this on!" Kody said disgusted. Katherine laughed at him, and shook her head.

"No, I want you to hold it up." She said still giggling. Kody blushed and mouthed the word 'oh'. Kody has always been her one and true friend, though many questioned if it was a romantic relation or not. Kody was always making her laugh, with his jokes about cast members, singers, and occasionally, when feeling bold, jokes about the Opera Ghost. Kody was never one to be superstitious, yet always kept an eye out for any thing odd. Katherine was finished with hemming Carlotta's costume, and had finished just in time. One of Carlotta's lackeys was sent to get the costume, and saw Katherine putting it gently back.

"What do you think you are doing?" The person asked.

"Sorry, monsieur, I was just about to get the dress for La Carlotta." Katherine lied.

"Well, hurry up; I don't want to hear that it's my fault La Carlotta isn't dressed in time for rehearsals!" The man snapped. Katherine rolled her eyes, and handed the costume to the man. She retreated back to her bedroom, for her work there was done for the day. Katherine was never present for the rehearsals; she never liked hearing Carlotta screech her ears out. She lay down on her bed, knowing what she would hear next; Carlotta's mezzo-soprano voice, in a high shrill. She closed her eyes, hoping sleep would come. She was half asleep when she heard a high pitched scream. It was Carlotta; Katherine shot out her door, and rushed to see what happened. She saw Carlotta was under a backdrop, and was screaming at the top of her lungs for help. All of the people, including some ballet rats, were trying to calm her down.

"I AM NEVER SINGING FOR YOU TWO AGAIN!" She screeched at the managers. She then turned to her right hand man, Piangi. "And you get me my doggie! Bring me my doggie!" Piangi quickly ran for Carlotta's dog, which was more of a rat in Katherine's opinion. "I am leaving now, Bye Bye!" She said, and with that she turned and left, slamming the doors on her way out.
