The man quickly caught the young woman and held her in his arms for a moment. She smiled up at him before her eyes suddenly closed as she lost consciousness. When her eyes finally opened again she found herself…
Without You
Chapter 5
Just a Dream?
Back in the dormitories, in the bed that she had been given. Rain looked all around her, looking for some sign to what she had seen. But she saw no man in a mask, no beautiful cave filled with candles, not even the mist covered lake. She rested her head between her hands. 'Just a dream, it was all just a dream.'
Rain jumped as a knock on the door broke her train of thought. She did not know who would be awake at this hour in the morning. "Yes," she replied quietly as the door slowly opened to reveal the young blonde woman. Her eyes adjusted to the candle light as the woman moved over to the bed next to her.
"Might I ask who you are? And more importantly what you are doing here?" Rain could not help but be abrupt as she swung her legs off of the bed. She had never like being rudely awakened, even if she was already awake.
"I'm sorry," the woman looked down to the ground. "I am Meg Giry, daughter of Madame Giry." She placed the candle that she held on the small table between the two beds.
"Nice to meet you Mademoiselle Giry," Rain smiled at the young woman who appeared no more then seventeen years of age. "Might I still inquire as to why you are here so early in the morning?"
"I just needed to see if the rumors were true." Meg lightly placed her hands in her lap. "You see there have been rumors running around that you look just like Miss Christine Daae, the soprano who was here before the Opera House burned down."
"I have heard of Miss Daae." Rain pulled her hair in front of her. "And are the rumors true? Do I look like Miss Daae?"
"I must admit that the resemblance is striking." Meg looked down at her lap. "You see Christine and I grew up together and she was my best friend. I miss her dearly, I have heard from her in over a year, not since she married the Vicomte de Chagny."
"I can assure you that I do not look like Miss Daae as much as you claim. My name is Lorraine, and I am almost a full decade older then Miss Daae." Rain picked up the candle and held it closer to her. "If I am not mistaken I was told that Miss Daae had curly brunette hair and brown eyes. I have straight brunette hair and my eyes are green."
"Yes, I can see that but the resemblance is still striking." Meg slowly stood up. "Is it true that the Phantom watched your performance this morning?"
"The Phantom?" Rain looked at Meg questionably as she set the candle back down on the table.
"You do not know of the Phantom of the Opera?" Meg watched as Rain shook her head slowly. "That will have to wait until later, there is too much to explain in one night." She picked the candle back up and her mouth dropped.
"What is it?" Rain stood up quickly and moved towards Meg.
"Your dress!" Meg pointed at the dress that Rain wore.
Rain looked down to see what Meg was shocked about and it was at that moment she could see what she was wearing. It was the very dress from her dream, the one that she had put on. She allowed her jaw to drop as she looked at Meg questionably, "I thought it was just a dream…"
