Revenge is Sweet… Coming Soon…
She…was on top of the world…
"My zhedule, zhe iz inzane! But Ia wanted to come wizh you every happinezz!"
She … had hit rock bottom.
"I blamed Chriztine becauze if zhe hadn't been Chriztine Daae, none of ziz would have happened!"
She…was La Carlotta.
(Takes a bon bon and nibbles on it, sniffles. Downs champagne.)
But she has a plan…
"Revenge for Piangi! Revenge aganizt Chriztine Daae for taking mya career and being happy when I'm not! Revenge againzt zem both!" ranted Carlotta.
"But you said this was a revenge against the Phantom?" asked a confused Devon.
"Si! Si! Zo! To take away ze love of ze Phantom, Ia muzt get him to fall in love with me! And zen, once he thinkz Ia would never hurt him, Ia turn him over to the police!" Carlotta explained excitingly.
"Carlotta…listen carefully. The Phantom of the Opera is a dangerous and mad killer! I can't let you risk your life so!" said Devon.
His white half mask practically glowed and his voice practically growled as he demanded of her,
"The question remains however, as to what YOU are doing here? Answer me."
What she got…
"This might help me gain some peace…knowing that she felt what I felt during those long agonizing three months as I wrote my opera. The maddening and consuming demon of jealousy. Then maybe…maybe I'd get a true and heartfelt apology. Not just some kisses out of desperation and fear. Not the return of a cherished memento, a sorrowful glance and a reluctance to turn…I want that apology!"
"Zen help me anda you shall get it!" she said knowing she had peaked his interest.
"What did you have in mind?" he asked suspiciously.
"Well…what if…you anda Ia pretended…to be courting?" offered Carlotta sheepishly. She screwed up in nose in indignation as he laughed out loud as if mad.
"Hiz eyez, hiz lipz…ze very prezence of him turnz mya zpine to jelly." Carlotta said as if in a trance. Devon added,
"And don't forget his rear end!"
(Carlotta turns from view of Erik bending over, panicked and wide eyed at what she was thinking)
"What? I'm just stating the obvious!" shrugged Devon as Carlotta raised an eye brow.
(Carlotta and Erik face to face pulling back from a kiss, then scene shifts to Carlotta laughing at something Erik said, then again to Erik with his shirt off looking deeply into Carlotta's eyes by a piano)
"I'va never felt zis way for anyone before…"
(Erik forcefully kisses Carlotta, bending her over the piano)
"…Ia don't zink Ia can do zis!" sobbed Carlotta tears streaming down her face.
(Erik rounds on her angrily)
"You lied to me! You used me!" he spat at her. Carlotta sobbed out in a whisper,
"Buta Ia grew to love you!"
What happens when two people who hated each other…
"Pig!" she yelled at him folding her arms as they bounced along in the carriage.
"Tramp!" he replied coolly looking out the window.
…found love instead?
"I suppose you're not such a toad after all." Erik admitted with rue grin. Carlotta looked to the carpet and blushed,
"Anda you're not zuch an ugly monzter who rapez ballet ratz anda hangz people!" Then Carlotta furrowed her brow trying to determine if that sounded bad. Erik only grinned.
Coming Soon…
