A/N: I know the first chapter was short. This chapter was supposed to be part of the first. I don't have a clue why i split it in half! Im just totaly random like that!
Chapter 2
I bet my dear reader's you are wonderinghow little Raoul De Changy ended up in the Daae's care.
Raouls mother had died when he was one years of age, so it ended up just being Raoul, his elder siblem's and his father. About a month ago Raoul's farther ad died. Raoul's siblem's could not look after him, sort out their father's belongings and their own titles all together. They where also alot older than Raoul and already had their own mouth's to feed. After the funeral of their now deceased father, Philippe asked their aunt Victoria if she would be Raouls' governess and if he would be able to stay with her, for as long as possible. But of course Victoria had to ask Gostove first. When she did he accepted straight away.
So now we go back to our storey.
Raoul stood there looking at the ground. Victoria rushed over to him and embraced him tightly.He returned the loving embrace. She took his hand and led him to Gostove. Gostove placed a finger under the boys chin and lifted his head up. "do not be affraid my dear boy. We will look after you. Now let me introduce you to everyone." He introduced him to all of the servants of the household, then he whistled loudly. Because Raoul wasn't fully concentrating at that moment in time, the whistle gave him a startle. But what gave him a start even more was when a giant, chocolate brown Labrador come rushing out and nearly knocked him flying. Christen began to giggleuncontrollably, as the dog lick the face. Raoul had not noticed Christen before, but when he did he couldn't remove his gaze from her. "She's beautiful." he thought to himself.
"Oscar!" Gostove called. The dog ran up to him and rubbed his nose against his leg. "I hope you like dogs Raoul." All that Raoul could do was nod dumbfounded. Gostove followed to where his gaze wondered and noticed it to end on Christen. "And this beauty is my darling daughter Christen." He gently moved behind her and pushed her foward. Raoul slowly took her small delicate hand and gently kissed it. Christen curtseyed, blushed furiously with a small giggle and ran back inside the house. Everyone there - except Raoul who was just standing there, gawping like a fool-could not help the smile that crossed their lips.
Gostove motioned for his bags to be taken to his room. They followed the servent, who was carrying the 'lightly packed' suitcases to one of the main guest rooms. The room was simply dressed, but very elegant. The wallpaper was white, with light mint green victorian flower patterens. The curtains were of the same patteren, but with a forest green background and a pearl white flower design and to finish off the look,a delicate silver chandelier hung from the ceiling. This was Christens most favoured room in the entire household.
"This will be your room for the time being. I hope you like it." Raoul couldn't ask for anything more or anything less.
"Thank you." He replied in a whisper. When everything was unpacked, Raoul was left alone in the spacious room. He could not hold it in any longer. He laid down on the bed and cried.
