Chapter "Home"

"Yes Raoul it is I." You embraced me, and I breathed in your sweet smell.

"Oh god Christine, I thought I'd never see you again." Tears of joy were streaming down my face as I said:

"I know, I love you." You pulled away from the embrace and kissed me full on the lips, but pulled away and asked:

"You are staying here, right? Your not going to leave me again?"

"No, never. Never again Raoul."

"Christine You don't know how much I've missed you. I had never before pictured my life with out you, and I soon came to realize, You are my life."

"Raoul Darling, I missed you also--"

"Christine where have you been?" You interrupted.

"Raoul please I do not wish to repeat what I have been through. But someday I will tell you. Raoul dear you must understand."

"Alright. But come Christine." You grabbed my hand and led me to the parlor. "Sit down by the fire, you looked chilled to the bone." I smiled and sat next to you on the couch. You wrapped your arms around me like you had before. And I fell asleep to the sound of your steady breathing.

You moved your body and I immediately woke up. I looked up at you and you were in a peaceful sleep. I looked out the window and quickly noticed that the sun was already rising. I reluctantly stood up and made my way up the stairs. I sneaked into my old room, so not to wake anyone.

I walked over to my wardrobe and grabbed out a bright yellow dress. I went behind the dressing wall and put on my corset and the rest of my undergarments. I slipped on the dress and some shoes then walked over to the vanity.

The reflection in the mirror was terrifying. My eyes had dark circles under them, I was deathly pail and my whole face had aged 15 years in a matter of months.

I passed a brush through my frizzy hair, then applied some blush and a little lip stick. Once I was done I went out of my room and back down the stairs. I checked on you once more before I left, and you were still deep in slumber. I smiled slightly and went through the front door.

It was a bright beautiful day and the sun almost blinded me, but I continued down the path to the stable anyway. All the stable hands were awake and already tending to the many horses. I walked farther into the barn and a young man asked:

"Is there something I can help you with Mademoiselle. . ."

"Christine. I am Raoul's fiancée." The man looked quite shocked, but I did not blame him.

"Oh?" was all he said. He gave me a quizzical look but did not ask any questions. "So what my I help you with?"

"I need a carriage into town."

"Alright, well I'll be happy to take you Miss."

"Thank You." The boy turned around, to fetch a carriage and a few horses. While I kept my self occupied by petting a horse named Rouge. She was a sorrel (for those of you who don't know what sorrel is, it's a reddish/brown colorJ) and was very loving. She nudged my hand every time I tried to turn away. I had been stroking her forehead, for a while when the young boy came back, and said:

"Are you ready Miss?" I nodded and walked towards him. He lead me outside the stable, and to a white open carriage. He helped me in and went to the front of the stagecoach. He flicked the reins and the horse started to trot and with another simple flick the horse moved into a canter. We were quickly out of the driveway.

As we went down the road we passed the house Henri lived in. A chill went down my spine, and I could not believe he had let me go. I had thought he was the most evil man in the world. No not even a man, a monster. But I guess everyone, no matter how cruel, must have some feeling.

I sighed and focused on the scenery around me. As I watched the people walking I noticed a young girl and boy, walking hand in hand down the street. They were totally caught in each other they did not pay attention to anyone else around them. They reminded me so much of You and I. I had you to show me the goodness in the world, and the light. Raoul I will love you forever. Can you ever comprehend how much I Love You? Of course you can, because that's how you feel about me. A smile graced my face at the thought.

We pulled up to the Opera house. My heart fluttered a little as the boy helped me out of the carriage and to the ground below. I walked into the huge double doors and into the huge structure.
