"Come with me to a place where you neither morn, nor love." Strangely enough, I was being pulled towards the mirror. I went willingly enough to it, though. I stopped in front of it when I saw something that truly horrified me.
Laying over in the chair by the fire place, was Summer… Dead Summer… I ran over to her. The masked man must have seen my distress because he grabbed my arm to restrain me. I looked at him with horror written all over my face.
"What happened?" I yelled angrily.
"She wasn't polite. I had to do something. I couldn't have you associating with people that would cause you stress… that would put strain on your voice!"
"So you killed her?"
"No. She is simply sleeping in a deep sleep. I will send her back to the United States perfect and unharmed. Her memory will be wiped clean. She won't remember who you are, or where she has been the past year."
"I've only been here about 6 months." I said
"Yes, but I don't want to take any chances. Now, would you like to come with me, or keep the dead company…"
"You said she wasn't dead!"
"She may as well be!" He raised his voice at me! I didn't know much about French culture, but I did know that it was a very nasty thing to do in front of a lady.
"Excuse me." I said politely and began moving to the other side of the room where the door was.
"Oh no, you aren't going to leave me. I want you to stay right here. Either come with me, or stay in here forever."
"So you're basically taking away my freedom either way…" I said trying to stall so I could think of a plan. I decided that running away from a psychotic man in my dressing room was better than following him into a dark alley, so I did what any girl would do. I ran for the door. The opera people made the mistake of putting the lock on the outside of the door. Once I got there, the door had locked… by itself… that was odd. I looked over at the masked man. He was smiling madly at me.
"Do I frighten you, dear Christine?" Christine? Had this nut job just called me Christine? The necklace! I was wearing the necklace! (Just to let you all know, this is not the way I feel about the wonderful Phantom of the opera/ Erik/ Gerik/Gerard/Angel of Music… you get where I'm going… I love him! I would go with him in a second. But this girl is stupid and doesn't understand that he is amazingly beautiful on the inside and such… lol)
"Come with me. We will make music." This guy was really starting to creep me out. I took his hand because I was afraid of what he'd do if I didn't. He led me down into a corridor with a million and one steps. I was wearing heals and a dress that went out about ten feet from that nights performance, and tripped many times. At one point, I decided to stop and take off the petty coats and heels and simply walk in bare feet and a limp 18 hundreds dress. The man looked at me strangely and then whistled. At first, I thought it was some weird French cat call and I was about to slap him when I saw a beautiful white horse come galloping up the stairs.
He assisted me onto it and I rode the rest of the way till we came to a boat. But during that time, we got to know each other a little bit better. He told me his name, Erik, and how old he was… a couple centuries… I thought he was just some crazy guy trying to impersonate Erik until he began to sing to me. Then I knew it was the real him. I sat there a while after he finished his song. I decided to start singing a duet I knew. He began to sing along with me. I swear he knew every song there was on the face of this earth. We sang for hours till we came to a little boat. He helped me in and we continued singing until we came to a small house on a hill. He climbed very gracefully onto the ground and held out his hand to me. I took it and he led me to the piano. He taught me the way to sit and stand while singing… I learned so much those few weeks I spent with him…
I know the chapters a bad one, but I really wanted to get something posted so I could feel accomplished! Lol here it is! Enjoy it! P.S. if there is anything you want to tell me… even if it's bad… I would really like to here it so please leave a review! Thanks a lot!
