This first Chapter is really short because it is just the introduction. It is humorous though!
Scene 1: The Auction
My word! The are auctioning off things from the Opera House! Oh my dear God! Who would want that old portrait of Carlotta? Ah! Firmin. I should have known. Always knew there was something between them, I did! Oh that is not very nice! They are auctioning off the Monkey-organ! That was my favorite possession of Erik's! The auctioneer started at 15 francs. 15! It is worth 200 francs at least! And, of course, it is bought for 30 francs. Who bought it? None other that Raoul himself. The bastard! He thinks that he is so rich buying Erik's monkey-organ. Thinks he is so Goddamn(pardon my language) powerful! Oh well!
Heh-heh! He is in a wheelchair. I'm stil fit as a fiddle. He must have really let himself go after I "died".
Erik's not that bad-looking either of course. I mean, I'm only 50, he is only 60! He is older than Raoul and he still climbs ropes and goes through passages all over the Opera House just as well as when we first met! I laugh at Raoul's disabilities! Heh-heh-heh!
I had best go tell Erik about the Organ!
Oh, and perhaps you would like to know my side of the story? The play was surprisingly close to the real story, but they had to make it a sad story. I have it from a time traveler that the movie's not that far off either. It really is not a sad story, for me anyway. They did not change very much, except for the fact that they make everyone sing all the time. The just left out a lot more that most people would expect. They mostly left out what I really thought and felt, in order to keep the story clean. I will tell you my story, and then you will know my, Christine Daae's, perspective view on everything. You will also learn what really happened to Erik and my life with him.
Raoul is introduced in the next chapter
