Thanks for the reviews! I've just realized that I forgot to add in Erik and Christine's ages (oops!) and so here they are: Erik is 17 and Christine is 15. I added that info into the 1st and 2nd chappies, but I'm telling you guys that have already read those chapters right now. Thanks again for reviewing and reading!
Chapter 7
Mrs. Giry idly flipped the pages of the book. Curiosity, combined with the desire to know of her two students' well-being, had eventually overcome her. Now she simply felt impatient. Francine shut the book and held it in her hands, glaring at the weathered cover bearing the title The Phantom of the Opera, waiting for something.
Nothing happened.
Heaving a great sigh, she dropped the book and started for the kitchen.
If Mrs. Giry would've turned around at the exact moment she picked up her coffee pot, she would've seen something truly spectacular.
As if a breeze had rustled through, the book fell open to the ending of a chapter 13. The next page was oddly blank, and, if you would've flipped through the rest of the book, you would've found that the rest of the pages were also empty.
On the blank page, words slowly began to form, as if the ink creating them was bleeding through from the page beneath. Print slowly filled up one page, then the page turned and print began to fill up the next. Sometimes a word would begin to form, only to disappear and be replaced with another.
Finally, after 3 blank pages were filled, the book seemed satisfied and shut.
Mrs. Giry slowly walked over to her couch, a very full coffee mug in her hands. She carefully set it down beside the book, and, lifting the old musty thing gingerly, began to leaf through it.
Reaching the chapter labeled #14, Francine's eyebrows rose and her eyes began to move very quickly over the print. She was so engrossed in her reading that she completely forgot her coffee.
By the time she remembered it, it was as cold as the water in Erik's lake…
Please review! Please!
