Chapter 13

(Raoul's Point of View)

From the moment I saw Christine Daae, I knew I needed her by my side. She was the one thing that I couldn't have, and that made me want her more. Indeed, I was a very wealthy boy, born to an aristocratic family in Italy. I had everything I could have ever asked for. Except Christine.

Her long brown hair, her bright green eyes, her alabaster complexion, and her figure so slender and yet so sexy, I needed her...

I decided I would do anything to get Christine by my side. Anything at all...

"Hello Mother." I said into the phone.

My mother, Alice, was still quite young. I was only 19, but my mother was 36. She had me very young, for reasons I was never to know so I dared not ask.

She was a beautiful woman. Long brown hair that was extremely curly, milky white skin, and baby blue eyes. She was always a wonder to any man who passed by.

"My Raoul, how are you?"

"Very fine, and you?"

"Well, I'm just great honey."

"I was just calling to tell you I'm going to be out of town for a little while."

"Alright honey, have a safe trip."

"Goodbye mother."

"Goodbye."

No sooner had I hung up the phone with my mother did I begin to dial another.

"Hello, I'd like a one way ticket to Paris please..."
