Sorry that it took so long for this chapter! My laptop was broken so I was computer less :( But! Here I am again mwhahahaha!
Thank you soooo much for reviewing! I am sooo happy and it has really inspired me to write more I was afraid that no one would want to read it.
I don't own the Phantom of the opera in any of its presentations, nor do I own Loreena Mckennitt's music from last chapter.
"Think of me
Think of my fondly!"
"Gah! I hate this!" whispered Sarah who was glaring daggers at Laura, Rebecca smiled lightly and went back to coloring the picture that displayed sketches of sets. She had decided to take her work seriously since there was not chance that she was going to be moving anywhere else when it came to acting, despite the odd promise made to her the month before.
She had told Sarah about the experience who had then gone off into her world of phantoms telling her that she must be Christine reincarnated. Of course Rebecca had told her delusional friend that she had known that it had been Matt, yet this had made her more excited since he had been cast as the Phantom in their production.
Rebecca stole a glance at the man in question; he stood a bit back from the group watching everything that went on. Clad in a dress shirt and black vest seemed to create a perfect image for the dark figure that was Erik, it was at this point where Rebecca realized that he was watching her. He smiled lightly and returned his gaze to the director who was addressing him; she returned her attention back to her work and prayed that her blush was not noticeable to those around her. She was attracted to him, but there was little shock in that, he was perfect and his dark atmosphere seemed to seduce her even more.
"I would like to look at the scene where Christine first sings please" said Mr. Ronald flipping some pages, he waited for the cast to take there places and then called for them to begin. Laura lifted her voice and began to sing, Rebecca was envious of her role, but knew that her voice was quite good. Looking over to where Matt was she discovered that he had disappeared. "He must have gone out for a moment" she thought to herself, looking over to Laura again was standing very tall, and taking in all of the attention that was upon her. After watching the musical film a ton of times by now, since Sarah had wanted her to introduce her to the part of Christine "You never know" was all she had said on that subject; Rebecca had to agree that Laura did remind her of Carlotta.
A loud crash snapped her out of her dream like state; on stage lay the ruins of a light that had fallen quite close to Laura. The actress was whiter than normal and shaking; she looked around and then proceeded to faint. Sarah had walked onto the stage and called out Samuel, the student in charge of lighting, he responded from the back of the room claiming to have nothing to do with it.
Laura was taken out of the main stage area and into the practice room to rest up, the other students had begun to investigate that accident. Rebecca was also on stage assisting the clean up when Sarah ran up to her white as a ghost, in her hand was an envelope "It-it's a letter from the phantom!" The room had grown quiet at this statement and the letter was then taken from her and presented to the director. Mr. Ronald tore away the wax seal and glanced at the letter, his face turned from a pale white to a deep red, he looked around at the other students in anger. "Who did this? Who's idea was this!" He called out turning more and more red, "I will not tolerate a prank that could have caused great harm to Ms. Clemens!" No one spoke, or even moved they all merely waited to see if anyone would confess. Rebecca glanced around the room and found Matt in the back, his face spoke of shock at everything that had happened so far, but then so did everyone else's.
"Read it out loud" ventured one student who clammed up when the directors gaze turned in his direction.
"Very well, then maybe someone will have an idea of who it might have been" he cleared his throat and began to read from the little slip of paper.
"To those who are in attendance,
I would like to welcome you to my theatre and wish to let you know that the phantom does walk the halls here as he did before in Paris! I am please with your choice of production Mr. Ronald but am quite disappointed with your casting, I believe that you have made a wrong choice placing Ms. Clemens's in the role of Christine, when she does not suit it at all! I would prefer to see her dressed as one of Carlotta's servants, who are silent, then have to suffer the butchering of such a beautiful role. As for who should replace her, I believe you will find that Ms. Beldine has both the style and grace to fit Christine perfectly. If you do not follow this change then a terrible disaster will come upon one of your cast members.
You're old friend,
O.G"
The room was silent, and all their attention had moved towards Rebecca, who tried desperately to melt into a puddle.
Well there was chapter 3! I am planning on writing another chapter tonight as well, but may not finish it till tomorrow morning. Please R&R:D
