Aurora's wrist was only twisted and the Doctor told her to take it easy for a few days. Christopher was ecstatic because it meant that he had more time to work with her, because she was unable to dance in his opinion.

"Anna you need to sing out more, you're getting shadowed by Michael and Brett"

"Ok" Aurora said as she took a deep calming break, they had been working on the final song 'Down once more' for hours and Aurora was not being heard enough. And she was getting slightly frustrated.

"Lets try something different" Michael volunteered "Just you and Brett sing this time"

Brett looked at Aurora and shrugged and the two did as they were told.

Brett: Christine, forgive me please forgive me ...
I did it all for you and all for nothing...

Aurora: Farewell my fallen idol and false friend ...
One by one I've watched illusions shattered ...
(Skipping Michael's line)

Brett: Either way you choose, he has to win...

It was much easier for Aurora to be heard. Michael motioned for them to continue and this time joined in and went to stand beside Aurora. When her voice started to drop her prodded her in the side.

(Michael's first lines have been skipped)

Aurora: Angel of Music...

Michael: Past the point of no return –

Brett: For pity's sake, Christine, say no!
Aurora: ... why this torment?

Michael: ... the final threshold...

Brett: ...Don't throw your life away for my sake...

Aurora: When will you see reason...?

Aurora received a prod at this point to sing out

Michael: His life is now the prize which you must earn!

Brett: I fought so hard to free you...

Aurora: Angel of Music...

Michael: ...You've passed the point of no return ...
Aurora: ... you deceived me - I gave my mind blindly...

Michael: You try my patience - make your choice!

Once they finished the song they faced a smiling Christopher.

"Fantastic" He beamed at them "Alright let's do it again" He said

Aurora sighed

"Can we have a break first" Brett asked

"No, let's do it again, while it is still fresh in your minds"

"Alright, then can we have a break" Michael asked innocently

It was both Michaels's and Brett's intentions to annoy Christopher that was obvious, Aurora took a sip of drink to cover her laughter, and ended up nearly chocking on it.

Michael gave Aurora a light slap on the back when she starting coughing. She glared at the two guys, who were looking quite amused.

"Come on let's just do this other wise, Christopher won't let us have a break at all" Aurora said in a strained voice.

Christopher laughed and winked at Aurora when neither them were watching.

"Ok, let's do it" Brett said getting back in to position against the wall, as if he was tied to it.

"From the top when Raoul comes in" Christopher said from his position at the piano.

The production was coming along fabulously. It was now only three weeks to opening night. And it was time for final fittings for costumes.

For Aurora this was the first time to see any of them. Because there was so many, and she had been so busy. She was excited to see them all, to wear them all. Everyday for the past few weeks she had seen main cast members being fitted for costumes. It was all so exciting.

Her Hannibal costume was a two piece, the top was rather like a bra in the color of gold with red and blue detail. The skirt was paneled with different pieces loose material, for maximum movement and with her stockings and point shoes she looked the part of the Hannibal chorus dancer.

Her 'Think of me' dress was designed to go straight over her Hannibal costume. It was white with beaded detail on the bodice and puffed out from her waist till it touched the ground.

"I feel like a princess" Aurora said as she stepped in to it. "Wow"

Her Phantom of the Opera night clothes were, well nothing she would ever wear to bed. A corset and skirt attached with a spit in it, covered by a lace gown.

Michael happened to walk in when she was having the hem taken up. He stopped and looked at her with a heated expression

"Now why can't you wear something like that to bed" He asked innocently. He was trying on costumes too. Black pants and a white floppy sleeved shirt. Now floppy shirts in Aurora's opinion were always a terrible mistake in fashions past. But on Michael it just looked totally hot. How can he look hot in something so ridicules, so not fair she thought sadly.

Candy the costume maker laughed and sent him on his way so Aurora could get in to the II Muto costume.

A floppy shirt and vest and pants, it was the easiest and most comfortable costume so far, which went with the easiest scene in the whole production for Aurora.

"Good just have to adjust this" Candy said gesturing to the vest, as she made a note and moved Aurora back to the change room to get in to her Masquerade costume.

In all fairness the dress was beautiful, it had beaded detail and the corset showed of her figure to an advantage. But the first thing and only thing wrong with it, was it was pink.

"Stop complaining, it looks beautiful on you, pink is your color" Aurora scowled Candy took up the hem and rushed her through the rest of her costumes.

The cemetery dress was black and simple and although it was a little on the tight side like the rest of the corseted outfits, there was nothing wrong with it.

The past the point of no return costume was un-describable. It had a low cut lace bodice and delicate sleeves that sat off the shoulder, it corseted from below her breasts to the hips then it came down in to a gypsy skirt that just brushed the ground.

"Who is going to be listening to my singing" Aurora asked candy, who shrugged in return as she got out her pins to adjust the sleeves.

The final costume, the wedding dress was breath taking. The bodice was tight with ribbons, lace and beaded detail, and then the skirt was in a bell shape with a small train. When ever I get married I am going to steal this dress and wear it Aurora thought. It was beautiful and she felt so special to be able to wear all of these beautiful creations.

After thanking Candy for all her hard work Aurora went in search of Michael they were finished for the afternoon and she couldn't wait to go home.

Thomas Stevens, A security/ body guard to the current Prime Minister Alexander Davis was sitting outside the Bensolight Theater, looking for clues as to the whereabouts of the run away Prime Ministers daughter Aurora.

To the public she was kidnapped, but he knew the truth. She had run away to have her own life. Her parents were furious; apparently whatever career she wanted to get in to wasn't respectable or acceptable to her loving parents.

Two weeks ago after the information provided by Kyle Lander they found her apartment and took possession over everything. Planning to Catch Aurora when she came home, but she never did. She had been tipped off.

From searching the apartment they deducted that Aurora had been at University Studying, which she had since given up; Thomas guessed it was because she knew they would be able to find her.

There were a few other small hints as to where and what she was doing, and this was one of them, a theater group after checking the phone records they found this number listed as one of the most called numbers. The other was a silent/ private number which no matter how important they were couldn't gain access to.

They were getting close, he knew it.

It was now late in the afternoon and all the theater members were leaving.

Thomas watched the people closely.

Then he saw her, her hair was dark brown and shorter but there was no mistaking who she was. There was a bandage around her left wrist and she was holding hands with a tall male with black hair. They were talking and laughing, walking around the building to the parking lot.

They stopped at a black Subaru WRX with familiar number plates, the ones Aurora used to have on her car. The Male opened the door for her and kissed her lightly on the lips before she slipped in to the car. There was no mistaking what they meant to each other. Her parents wouldn't be pleased to learn this.

Thomas tailed them to a place of residence, where the two went inside. They were living together he guessed.

Thomas called to report what he had found out.

If this was there place of residence, they would move in and retrieve the target tonight.

"Aurora, please have the night off from dancing, the doctor told you to take it easy"

"I know and I would, but it is my last night there and I would really like to go" Aurora put on a puppy dog face

"That's not fair" Michael said glaring at the face

"If it works" Aurora said winking as she brushed her hair. Michael laughed and finally agreed.

Later that night Michael and Aurora left the house, on the way out Aurora noticed a BMW parked across the street, it had been there since late this afternoon, she had never seen it before, She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, but she ignored it Your safe with Michael she thought as she hopped in the car to go to the club.

Dancing went well; Aurora had to wear a decorative band to hide the bandage on her wrist. But she was sad to go; dancing had been fun and a bit of release these past months.

The girls had organized a little good bye party for her and Aurora promised to get them some tickets to the production and to come back when the production was over.

The drive home went quick and soon they were back at their apartment. It was nice to call it that Aurora confided in Michael

"It makes me feel that much closer to you" Aurora smiled. Michael said nothing only leaned over and kissed Aurora.

Then there was a knock at the door. Aurora pulled back and looked at the clock; it was nearly two in the morning.

"What in the world" Michael said.

Then there was a smash as a window was broken and the lights went out.

"Oh no" There were people coming in the door, they were armed. Aurora screamed.

"Don't move" A faceless person said as they advanced in to the room

They couldn't, they wouldn't, would they Aurora thought wildly thinking of her parents

Two men grabbed Michael and pulled him away from Aurora.

"No" Aurora said trying to grab Michael

"Your coming with us Miss" another said as he forced her to her feet, she punched him in the nose and tried to get over to Michael, but she was grabbed from behind, twirled around and lifted off her feet. So she was slung over this person's back.

Aurora screamed, for them to let her go, put her down, asked what they wanted and screamed for Michael who was now being held back by four people as he struggled to get to her.

They left the house quickly Aurora knew it was because she was making such a commotion.

Aurora soon found herself in the back of a car, which promptly sped away.

Away from her home and away from Michael.

Ok so another chapter down eh. Maska knew it was coming ;) tell me what you thought anyway. and any ideas you may have for Tyra's come upence...
