Disclaimer: I own the four girls and the storyline. Darnit.

This chapter is REALLY short, sorry, but I needed a turnaround bit that wasn't squashed onto one of the other chapters.

Ch. 5 – Sneak Peek

I roped the gondola to a post and leapt from it.

"It looks exactly like in the film," Josie said, clambering out. "Either this is the biggest coincidence in history, or the film people really did their research." She walked up the stone steps, admiring every inch of the place.

By now Sam and Kendall had also jumped out of the boat. "It's kind of run-down, but in a pretty way," said Sam, observing the many red curtains

I was still trying to take in the fact that we were actually in the lair of the Phantom of the Opera when Kendall grabbed my shoulder.

"We should go back," she said. "We don't know where he's gone, or when he'll be back, and we really don't want to get caught."

"She's got a point, you guys," I said, snapping out of my reverie. "We should go back. Come on… need to figure this out…"

We returned to the boat reluctantly, and I quietly poled us back to the 'dock' area. I flung the rope around a post, snatched a torch, and led the way back down the corridors. We didn't really bother to be quiet as we ran back through the mirror, and looking back, it probably would have been a very good idea if we had.
