Meg Giry woke up and looked at the mirror it had been a long couple of weeks. With all the performances that she had to do and off course the phantom abducting Christine. "At least she's safe with Raoul". Thought Meg. She examined her self in the mirror and noticed that her hair was in a giant mess from her sleeping. She felt along her dresser searching for her hair brush. But she could not find it. She looked in the drawers but it was not there. Then she remembered she must have left it in the spare room when she was looking for an old pair of her ballet shoes to give to one of the younger ballerinas. Meg still in her night gown walked down the hall to the guest room. She tiptoed so not to wake up her mother. Meg opened the door slowly. She walked into the room and saw her hair brush sitting on the night stand beside the bed. Meg walked quietly over and reached for the hair brush when she noticed that there was some one sleeping in the bed.
Her mom did not tell her that she was inviting any one to stay the night. Meg found this rather suspicious. She watched the lump under the covers move up and down and she could hear deep breathing. It sounded like it was a man which made Meg curious. As far as her new her mother was not in a relations ship with anyone. Meg soon completely forgot about the hairbrush. She wanted to know who it was that was under the covers. Meg grabbed the end of the blanket and started to pull it back ever so slightly. Then she noticed that the man who was sleeping there had a white mask on. "The phantom" she whispered. Meg started to back out of the room but without realizing it she bump into a tray of food behind her and accidentally knocked some of the dishes out of it.
Erik heard a crash and sat up instantly. He turned towards the door and saw little Giry standing there looking completely frightened. "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here" she said "what are you doing here"
"This is my room"
"This is my house"
"Technically it is your mother's house but that is beside the point" said Erik with a smug look on his face. He stood up.
"Christine is not here she left with Raoul" was the only thing that Meg could manage to get out. That was the only reason that Meg could think of for that phantom being here. Erik let out I sigh he did not even make any attempt to clam her down. He had gone his whole life with people being afraid of him so he knew from experience that him trying to calm them did nothing. He was starting to get angry from her just standing there staring at him. "Well what do you what"? Said Erik stepping closer to her. Meg started to feel dizzy. The room was spinning and then she passed out. Erik looked down at the fainted girl. He new he could not leave her their so he picked her up and placed her on his bed then went to go get madam Giry.
Christine found her self in the buggy with Raoul on her way to the opera house. She did not know why they were going there considering that her love was on the run. That seems like the last place that he would be. The drive seemed to be long and dull. Raoul looked at Christine the women he loved but could never have. All he wanted to do was keep her far away from the man under the opera and yet he was helping her find him. None of this made since to him but he knew in his heart that if he truly did love her then he was going to have to let her go and let her be with the man which she truly loved. "Erik's not going to be at the opera house" said Christine not looking up at Raoul.
"I know" said Raoul. "We are not going to find ………..Erik. We are going to fine madam Giry. She might know were……… Erik might be". Raoul could not stand saying his name. He could not say the name of the man who was going to get to spend the rest of his life with Christine. Christine did not ask anymore questions she just sat there quietly. She knew how hard this must be for Raoul. She did not ask him to come along but yet he insisted on it.
The pulled up to the opera house and Raoul got out first. He helped Christine out of the buggy. They walked up the steps and in through the giant doors of the opera house. They were surprised to find hundreds of reporters waiting in the main entrance. When they saw Christine and Raoul together soon they went running up to them. Soon Christine and Raoul found them self's surrounded by people. Very annoying people who kept pushing into them trying to ask them questions. "People, give us some room please" yelled Raoul trying to get them to back off. They saw the managers heading down the stairs. To try and help them.
"Have you seen madam Giry" asked Raoul.
"No she has the day off" they yelled back.
Raoul grabbed Christine by the arm and tried to help her out of the crowd. They managed to push their way out and get to the buggy; they were still being followed by some reporters. As Christine got in to the Buggy she heard two of them talking together.
"They will make a great couple"
"They look so good together"
