DISCALIMER: Remember only 3 of the characters are mine…and that doesn't include Erik, Raoul, Christine, or any of the other characters in POTO.

Chapter 3: Erik

"What do you mean where are you?" a voice boomed

"I…I mean I don't know where my sister, cousin, and I are; could you tell us?" Abbie asked trying not to sound too scared of the voice.

"You are in the Paris Opera house my dear girl," the voice said.

"The Paris Opera House! No way! That's where the story Phantom of the Opera takes place!" Annie practically screamed.

The figure came out of the shadows, in a black mask that went on his whole face only being held by a single string, he was wearing all back and his hands were covered with black gloves. The figure went over to Annie and put his hand over his her mouth.

"Shh do you want to tell the whole Opera house where I am?" the phantom said sharply.

"Oh. My. God! You're the phantom of the opera?" Annie asked loudly.

"Shh don't say another word!" the phantom said.

Annie nodded as she eyed Erik's black mask.

"Now that the three of you know that I'm the phantom who are you and how could you not know where you are but know who I am?" the phantom asked.

"I'm Ryan as to how we got here I have no idea" Ryan said.

The phantom looked at Ryan as if he was crazy.

"What he means is his name is Ryan Hunter our cousin who was paying a visit to our house in New York City. Our house meaning the house that I Abbie Hunter and my sister Annie Hunter. You see we live in the time 2005 and we were somehow magically brought here to your time after we saw your movie" Abbie explained.

"I have a movie?" the phantom asked.

"Yeah a movie, a few books, Broadway shows all over the place, and fan fiction" Annie piped up.

"I'm that famous?" the phantom asked.

"Yup your that famous!" Ryan said beginning to get annoyed that the phantom was getting more attention than he was.

"Now phantom…please tell us you actually have a name other than phantom" Annie pleaded.

"I do have a name it's Erik." The phantom said.

"Erik…that's a nice name" Annie said as she walked over towards Erik a little more.

"You look different than you do in the plays and movies. They all have white half masks you have a black full mask," Abbie pointed out.

"Yes I know I have a black mask, it's to cover up my hideous deformity. It's worse than anybody could have dreamed." Erik said.

"It can't be that bad…I mean Abbie and I have seen the movie hundreds of times and we don't think it's that bad" Annie said as she got closer to Erik.

"Nobody can understand how bad my face infection is, nobody can imagine it…it's impossible to even want to look at" Erik said as he put his hand to his mask.

"Oh yeah…then show us" Abbie said.

"Yes please show us!" Annie practically yelled which made Erik have to put his hand back over her mouth making Annie feel so comfortable.

"Yeah show us…it can't be that bad" Ryan said hoping it would be terrible so that his cousins wouldn't care about this phantom anymore.

"If you wish" Erik said as he slowly took off his mask revealing his skull like face with eyes that seemed to just be sockets.

His deformity was so bad that Annie closed her eyes wishing she had never seen him or came in the first place. Ryan tried to act strong but his face was so hideous he couldn't look. Abbie looked at it and did nothing, it wasn't unusual for her to see a deformity in fact it didn't even look that bad.

"I've seen worse Erik" Abbie said.

"I don't think they have…" Erik said as he pointed to Annie and Ryan.

"Well anyway can we stay with you for awhile…we can't go back home we have no place to stay and we don't know our way around here" Abbie said ignoring the looks from her cousins.

"I guess you could…just follow me, be quiet, and stay hidden" Erik said as he led them down to his lair.

As you can see this is based off Leroux's book that's why Annie was so afraid she was used to Gerard Butler. So…what did you think of it?
