Would you say that dreams are nothing but? Do you yourself think that each dream is just a dream? Well, I believe in dreams for you see, my dream came true.
Chapter 1: A New Voice
A voice sang to no audiance. The voice lifted the walls almost out of place.
"My dreams that haunt the daytime, my life is normal yet, but here, I stand before you, as only to adore to. I have dreams of freedom, of worthy meaning nights, but how, can it be real, for I can not just feel. So, please hear me, for my dreams cannot see. I can't feel the sun on my skin. Please listen to my voice of sorrow, but not long. Promise me that you will hear my soul, and then my fate will take its tole."(In the tune of 'That's All I Ask Of You') Her voice was like an angel. But there was something wrong. There was no audience.
She always went to this room. She had not come here to pray, like a woman once did, but think of memories. She felt only sorrow, but lived on. To think of it, I think her dreams are what kept her going. Her dreams were full of music, adbmoration, and most of all, one man she did not know. She merely sighed when her guardian's daughter walked in the door.
"Rose, where have you been? My mom's been looking for you! You disappeared, we were worried." Meg has been so kind to me, Rose thought and gave her friend a hug. She was the only friend she had, for now.
"Come on, mom is waiting for us in your room." Meg took Rose's hand and led Rose to the Prima Dona room. Once there, Meg motioned Rose into the room where Madame Giry awaited her.
"Rose! Good! You've finally arrived! We need to talk." Madame Giry said, motioning Rose to sit beside herself on the bed.
"What's this about?" Rose asked, worry in her voice.
"Well, a letter has arrived for you." Madame Giry stated, taking out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Rose. Rose looked at Madame Giry in confusion.
"You need to read it. We will return to you tomorrow. Just stay calm and don't fear anything." Madame Giry said, kissing Rose's forehead. She smiled and walked out of the room along with Meg.
"But-" Rose was now alone. She flipped over the envelope just to see a seal of a skull made of red wax on the back. "Great! How comforting." Rose was hesitant, but opened the letter. Inside read:
My dearest Rose,
Greetings. I know you may be wondering what this whole charade is all about, but do not fret, I will explain everything. I am Erik, a.k.a. the Phantom of the Oprea. I have been listening to your beautiful singing through the Opera House and I was wondering if you would like to be my tutor. I know you would like to meet me, so I will come to you tonight. Please think about my offer before I arrive about ten minutes after you read this.
Your future tutor,
O.G.
Rose was in awe. Why would someone choose me to be tutored? I can't even sing well, Rose thought. She lay on her bed and stared up at her ceiling. She did this very often, especially when she had to think. What am I to do? Can I trust him? So Madame Giry does, should I really trust her? Rose was becoming confused. She lay on her bed thinking for a while, not thinking of the time passing, but ten minutes later, she heard a voice.
"I am the angel of music." A haunting voice called. Rose jumped to her feet in surprise. "Do not fear me. I am a friend, not foe." The Phantom called.
"So you are the Phantom of the Opera?" Rose spoke, looking around the room.
"Indeed. It is nice to meet you, Rose." The Phantom said.
"And I you, but am I really meeting you if you are not in front of me?" Rose asked. The Phantom laughed.
"You speak the truth. Look to the mirror, I am there inside." The Phantom summoned. Rose did look to the mirror to see a masked man appear through the mirror.
"Now that's a neat trick!" Rose said. Yet again the Phantom chuckled. Just then the mirror started to slide open, like a sliding glass door, but a mirror instead. Out of the mirror submerged a masked man in a cape.
"Now, I am glad to meet you, Rose." The Phantom bowed.
"And I you." Rose curtsied. "Phantom."
"I prefer Erik, if you don't mind." The man smiled. Rose nodded and smiled.
