A/N: Oops... just when you think you know what's going through Cameron's head... I mess it up! MWAHAHA!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A week later, on the day of Genius's Mistake's opening night, Emilie said to Cameron, "Just so you know, we're still going to go through with that plan that I came up with a few months back. The gendarmes will be at the performance tonight, ready to kill Christine when necessary."
"We are?" Cameron gasped, shocked. "I didn't know that... all right."
Then someone announced that rehearsal was finished, and he made his way to the dressing room with the mirror to meet up with Christine for a moment.
Christine opened the mirror as soon as he stepped inside the dressing room and closed the door. She instantly saw his worried expression and exclaimed, "What's wrong, Cameron? You look nervous."
"Christine, promise me that you won't go up there tonight."
"Why? It's my opera."
"The gendarmes are going to be there, armed and ready to kill you at a moment's notice. I don't want anything to happen to you." He placed his hands on her shoulders. "Christine... please... whatever you do, don't go up there tonight. I'll come see you after the performance."
She crossed her arms underneath her cloak and gazed at him thoughtfully for a moment. "All right," she said, nodding. "I'll see you tonight."
He let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the dressing room to go rehearse more with everyone else.
When he closed the door behind him, she uncrossed her arms and smiled secretly at her crossed fingers. "Sorry, Cameron," she said, looking at the closed door. "I'm not missing my opera for anything or anyone... not even for you."
Then she closed the mirror and walked down the her lair.
So, Cameron thinks that he can fool me by threatening that I'm going to get killed! Well, the police may be there, but you're just doing it so that you can run away with Emilie Castain!
Well, I'm no fool... I'll be there tonight to make one final plea to make you stay forever!
I won't let my father down!
