Gerry ISU Chick04- My bf is now dealing with me drooling over Gerry from afar, as I just moved a few months ago and he has been enduring our long distance relationship! Plus on top of that, I went and saw Phantom (A romance movie) with another guy... bad me... But I had a little fight with him last night, because I want to go to a dance on thursday and he doesn't want me to go without him, but there is no way he can make it, but the dance is strictly NO DATES! Man I need Therapy!

Maska- My brother and I get along, mostly but we can't seem to get through a convo without cursing our heads off at one another!

Keeper Music Night- Hold on, he isn't stupid he will figure it out... eventually.
Angel of the Mask- Hehehehehehehe... You and Colbs where the insparation for the other chapter...

Well, here is another chapter... Those of you who have read the book by Leroux... Yay for you... This chappie will bring up some nastalgia! For those of you who haven't too damn bad!

Chapter 6- Le Viscount Raoul de Chagny

Dominique sat in his room (A/N This is Christine's room, if you have read Leroux's book, it will make sense, if not, it isn't vital) the paper in hand. He skimmed the rest of the paper, but focused on the one article where he had found the name 'Chagny'. He read it to himself, silently twice…

"The latest news in the Faubourg is that there is a promise of marriage between Mlle. Christine Daaé, the opera-singer, and M. le Vicomte Raoul de Chagny. If the gossips are to be credited, Count Philippe has sworn that, for the first time on record, the Chagnys shall not keep their promise. But, as love is all-powerful, at the Opera as- and even more than- elsewhere, we wonder how Count Philippe intends to prevent the viscount, his brother, from leading the new Margarita to the alter. The two brothers are said to adore each other; but the count is curiously mistaken if he imagines that brotherly love will triumph over love pure and simple." (The Phantom of the Opera by Leroux Pg 166.)

Taking the paper and looking through it and the next few issues of the same publication, he found an obituary of the le Count Philippe de Chagny. Dominique stared at the paper, and knew that this was not where he had seen the name before. He decided to go get the next ten or fifteen issues of the paper and look through them as well. He came out of his study angry, frustrated, and empty handed.

He carried the paper back to his room and sat, studying it for anything that he might have missed. As he sat Erik entered his room.

"Dominique?" He asked. He didn't spot him at first, "Matthieu was concerned for you-" He stopped, spotting Dominique and the paper in his hands. "What is that?" He asked, bothered.

Dominique didn't know how to answer, so he didn't.

"What is that?" Erik repeated. He strode over to Dominique, and took the newspaper roughly from his hands. He read over the page and then turned his gaze to Dominique. "Where did you get this?"

Dominique started to answer, but before he could utter a word Erik interrupted him. "This is not for your eyes!" He said, and started out the door, but then he looked as if he had thought better of it, and he turned. "Do not go through anything that I posses, again." He said, then added, "Is that clear?"

"Yes…" Dominique answered. Erik turned again to leave. "Erik?" Dominique called out. Erik cringed at the sound of his name, but he stopped, not bothering to turn around. "Who was le Viscount Raoul de Chagny?"

Erik didn't turn, but he said, "Where did you hear of him?" Detest in his voice as the cursed name left his lips.

"I don't know…" Dominique answered. Then he added, "It isn't a common name is it?" Then without waiting for a reply he continued, "Because there is a new dancer here who I think may be his daughter…"

Erik looked over his shoulder, and then left muttering something that to Dominique sounded a lot like "Christine…"

Please R&R... I like reviews and I get sad when I don't get many...
