Chapter 9 "The Diary"

Christine got out of the carriage. It was night out side and it was close to freezing. Christine hurried to the redwood door and flung it opened. The heat of the house seemed to thaw out her freezing body. As she walked farther into her home she noticed there was a light on in the parlor. Christine walked in and stopped at the doorway. She saw Raoul lost in his readings, he did not even notice her presence.

"Hello Darling." Christine said with a loving voice. Raoul's head shot up and his eyes were mad with fury.

"Raoul what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" He mocked, "I knew you loved him, Christine. I just wouldn't let my self believe it. The way you talked about him on the roof top." Raoul said under his breath "How could you do this to me Christine? How could you?" he yelled. Christine looked down at the book Raoul was reading and to her horror, he was reading her diary.

"Where did you get that." She snapped

"Nicolette found it when she was cleaning and gave it to me." He said a little more calmly

"Why are you reading it?"

"Well don't you think a husband has a right to know where his wife has been?" He shouted

"I need to go, you need to get control of your temper. I will be back in the morning and we can talk this over calmly." Christine said trying to hold back tears. And before he had a chance to say anything she turned around and hurried out the door. Christine ran to the stable with tears streaming down her face. She hoped to catch Charles before he put the horses away. She finally made it to the sliding doors of the barn. She quickly noticed Charles had not put away anything. Christine ran over to him and said:

"I am so very sorry but I need to go back to town, would you take me?" Charles looked at the women her face had been stained with tears and she looked terribly cold. So he replied:

"Yes Madame I'll take you." Christine smiled and replied:

"Thank You Charles you're a saint."

Raoul watched his wife leave the estate in the same carriage she had came just a little while ago.

'Did I over react? Of course she still loves him he was a father figure to her for most of her life' he thought

Raoul turned away from the door and went back into the parlor. He had to finish reading her diary, 'It is to late to stop reading now, besides there is only a few more pages left' Raoul thought as if he was defending himself against the little voice inside his mind.

Charles and Christine finally got back into town. The streets almost looked deserted.

"Where to Madame?" he yelled from the front of the carriage.

"The Opera house Charles." she yelled back. Charles drove her to the Opera House without any questions of Why she wanted to come to the Opera. Charles helped Christine out of the carriage then went back to his seat. Christine went up the stairs that led to the L' Opera Populaire. Christine opened the double doors to revel a dark foyer. Christine silently made her way up the stairs. She wandered down the hall to her dressing room. She opened the door to a dark room. Christine quickly turned on the gas light. The small lamp barely lite the room, but it was definitely an improvement. Christine excused the thought from her mind as she went behind the dressing wall. She took off her blue dress and hung it over the dressing wall. She then walked over towards her bed but then stopped at the mirror. She stared at it longingly, and contemplated wiether or not to go in.

'If I go see Erik I will truly be the whore everyone thinks I am. Wait! When did I start caring about what other people think. Raoul is angry and could probably care less about what I do.' With that Christine opened up the mirror and started to walk down the narrow corridor to her angel.
