A/N Okay I wrote a bit more on this chapter so that it would make a bit more sense.

Okay on with chapter 4!

It had been two weeks since the disaster with the light and the letter. Rebecca looked up at the building that was the theatre, its beauty had once inspired her but now she dread to enter its massive stone walls. She looked back onto that day remembering the fear and knowing some how at the time that things were going to change.

After the letter had been read she was to report to the dean's office at once and wait for a decision to be made about the whole thing. It had frightened her greatly, for she had never been in this much trouble in her life. Her small mercy was the fact that Mr. Ronald had asked Matt to take her there, they had walked for a long time in quiet, when he suddenly started to talk to her. He seemed almost nervous which had made her feel a bit better.

"So that was a little odd don't you think?" He had asked not looking at her, she had been ready to answer but he cut her off "Who would put your name on that letter! I mean do you know who really did it?" It seemed to Rebecca that he had almost rehearsed his questions, but that would not make any sense.

"I don't know… I don't know who did it, and the fact that my name was on the letter has me shaken" she then thought back to that time when he had promised to make her famous, but there was no way that Matt would try and kill someone, would he?

When they reached the office Rebecca's heart seemed to be growing with nervousness as there was a police cruiser outside of the building. After dropping her off Matt had said that he would wait for her to come out, but she told him that it was best that he just left.

Inside was a massive dark oak desk resting in the middle of the room, several papers littered the top and a name plate which read "Arash Ebi," but other than that the room was in complete order. Rebecca stared at the books that lined the sides of the room and the large fire place on the right side, there were a few trinkets that were placed on the mantle and on the wall was a large painting of a desert oasis.

When she stopped looking she noticed that there were three men sitting in a small lounge on the left, there were two men dressed in police uniforms one was a bit short and had an odd mustache that seemed to surround the lower half of his face. The other was taller and seemed to have more authority over the other the, last man there was, as Rebecca gathered, the Dean. He was quite tall and darker, his appearance seemed to say that he was middle-eastern descent; he was wearing a simple black suit and serving tea to the policemen. It was at this point that he looked up and saw her there.

"Ah you must be Ms. Beldine" he said in a cool voice, he motioned for her to take a seat with the other two. She smiled nervously and sat down as requested and waited to be told off and blamed for everything that had happened, but instead the man offered her a cup of tea. It smelled of exotic spices and when she took a small sip she felt a bit more relaxed as the warm liquid filled every corner of her.

"Now Gentlemen, lady, I believe that we have all heard or have bared witness to the events this evening at the theatre house. I would like to say that I am very upset at what has happened, but I don't think that Ms. Beldine has anything to do with it; I think there is… someone else that may have created this…prank."

The taller policeman stood up, his name tag read "M. Moncharmin." He glanced at Rebecca and then back to the Dean, "Mr. Ebi I do thank you for your theory, and though I do agree with you; Mr. Richard and I must conduct the investigation regardless." The man turned to look at Rebecca, "I am just going to ask you some questions dear, just tell me the truth and this can move along faster. First did you write the letter?"

"No sir, I have nothing to do with it I swear." Said Rebecca, fear was taking control again so she took another sip of her tea.

"Is there anybody around you that gave any hint of committing this act?" He had pulled out a pad of paper and was scribbling her answers down; she gulped a bit and recalled the time on the stage. Rebecca didn't want them to know it was Matt though; she couldn't do that to him even if he had tried to hurt Laura.

"There was a time a month ago, I was just singing on the stage when someone came up behind me and said… Said that he would make me the star…" The police man jotted it down and looked at her again.

"And did you see this man?"

"No sir, I am sorry… When he let go of my shoulders I turned to look at him…But he was gone." She felt her self blush; it was the truth, just not the whole truth. Mr. Moncharmin paused for a moment and then put the pad of paper away.

"I think that is all for now, unless there is more that you want to tell us young lady" Rebecca shook her head in response and took another sip of her tea. "Well then Mr. Ebi, we are going to go and take a look at the stage area, if there is more questions that we have I will give you a shout."

Mr. Ebi nodded his head and led them to the door, they tipped their caps in a farewell and Rebecca heard one of the police mention going to the theatre. When the door closed she felt a bit more nervous and sipped at her tea to give herself something to do.

"Alas he has done what I told him not to, the question is why." He turned to look at her and walked over to the red armchair that sat across from hers. He looked at Rebecca for a moment and pulled out something from his pocket, it looked sort of like a locket, he glanced at it and the she head a sharp intake of breath. Closing it he looked at her as if he was trying to find something hidden within her very soul, after a moment he sighed and waved his hand in a passive sort of way.

"I do ask you to forgive all this excitement tonight dear, but as I am sure you know Mr. Clemens is one of the universities donators and if we did not investigate this event then I am sure that he would be quite upset. Now I am going to talk to Mr. Ronald in a moment, he told me what had happened on the phone, but I would like to see this letter for myself." He got up a moment and paced for a moment and then returned to his seat, he seemed to be deep in thought but Rebecca had to ask.

"Mr. Ebi, um it seems that you have some idea on who might have done it… I mean… It just seems…" She felt her cheeks grow quite red and was thankful for the fading light outside, he was looking at her and after a moment he shook his head.

"I was just thinking of a story I was told by the last Dean here, something about a… ghost" he seemed to almost be amused by this comment, as if he had made some sort of joke.

"Are you telling me that there is a sort of phantom of the theatre?" She asked disbelieving the whole thing; she wanted to laugh but wanted him to laugh even more. He smiled at her a bit and got up walking towards the door.

"It is a story my dear, this is a very old university, I am sure that you will find there are many ghost stories to be told about every building. Now it is late, you should be heading home, I am sure that this will all be dealt with in time and that everything will go back to normal."

After that evening things had not gone back to normal though, in fact Rebecca's whole world had begun to change. It had started with Laura claiming to be sick, and Mr. Ronald placing the charge of being Ms. Clemens understudy on Rebecca. Just as he had promised her, she had been given a chance to play the lead in the Phantom of the Opera.

Well there is Chapter 4! Please R&R and I shall write some more :D Oh and a note I kept Richard and Andre's names the same because they are smaller roles and I was not sure if I had given enough detail to show who they were.

In the next chapter I am going to have a nice big event between Erik and his new Christine : D
