Capitola Five
The Phantessa of the Ballet led Christopher down to her lair.
"Each night she comes for me
Each day I forget
What happens every night
I follow yet
It's something in her eyes
I cannot see
The Phantessa of the Ballet will come
But why for me
You dance again with me
To the strange song
I've taught you all you know
To please the throng
And when you dance with me
You must agree
The Phantessa of the Ballet knows me
From each degree
The ones that see you
Will always scream
I dance the dance for you
I am the screen
Though no one sees my work
You know it's true
The Phantesssa of the Ballet will dance
Will dance through you
In all your dream of me
You always saw
What lies behind the hood
The blanks you draw
I know you long to see
What you cannot know
The Phantessa of the Ballet can't show
What lies below
Now dance, my angel!
They had arrived in her lair. Christopher began to dance.
Dance!
He danced harder.
Dance!
He danced harder.
Dance for me!
Chrisopher danced harder than he'd ever danced in his life. HE even did the move he never could before.
