CHRIS' POV

CHRIS' POV CHRIS' POV

I blinked quickly, rubbing my eyes to see if I had really just seen what I thought I had seen. I whirled around suddenly though when I heard someone playing the organ. It was the song that Darienne had written for me so that someone else could finish it.

"Yes Chrissy… let's start from the beginning," said the voice again.

This time I really looked. It really had been Darienne, and there he was like he had never died playing the organ like an angel.

"D-Darienne… oh my god." I said after I had stood up. I felt Erik stand up to and look at the figure in disbelief.

"Hello Erik, it's been a long time hasn't it. Well for me it has been anyway. For you it's everyday isn't it that we meet." Darienne stood up and walked over to me.

"Hey Angle, God you look great. Look over there why don't you."

When I did my eyes widened again.

"Adrienne." I said running up to her and hugging her.

"Hey Chrissy. God we missed you." She said hugging me back.

"Come on with me. Erik and Darienne have a lot to talk about. So do we." And with that she grabbed my hand and I couldn't see anymore in a flash of light.

ERIK'S POV

"Christina wait. Where is she taking her?" I said reeling on the scrawny look alike.

"Hey cool it man its okay. They just have some catching up to do. So do we." He said.

I looked at him incredulously.

"What do you mean? Why do you look like me? Are you some kind of imposter here to mock me?" I was seriously put off by this man's lack of answers. If you could call him a man. He was more like and adolescent.

"I look life you because I am you." At this my eyes went wide.

CHRIS' POV

"Adry I don't understand. You guys are dead."

We were down at Covington Park where we used to hand all the time as kids. It was a small park with a river running through it and a tree big enough to sit on. Darienne had place a tire swing there for me too.

"We are dead Wolf. That's why you're here. Come on, its not my place to explain this to you. Darienne will when he gets back. Until then let's just practice." I laughed at hearing my old nickname.

She sat down and miraculously her drum set appeared below the tree shade. My guitar was lying in a case next to the riverbank so I picked it up and started to play.

ERIK'S POV

"What!" I said. "No, that can not be so. I am sorry lad but you have the wrong man here."

I looked at him like he was crazy until he pulled something out from out of his pocket.

"Christine gave this to us before she left didn't she. You put it away in a safe inside the organ. A few hundred years later I came to visit the Opera House. I snuck down here and procured it."

I looked down in disbelief at the ring that Christine had given me. The same ring that was now inside my Organ hidden in a secret safe.

"Any genius could have known where I hid it if they studied my ways and workings long enough." I said crossing my arms.

"But no one would know the lock combination to the safe. Only you would. You never wrote it down anywhere… ever."

"You could have broken the safe for all I know. The future has things like that for cases such as these. Or at least Christina said so."

He looked down and exhaled.

Ahh how can I prove to you. Wait… Christina." With this his eyes lit up and he walked over towards me.

"When you look at Christina a fire starts in you like you've never felt. Unlike Christine she's intoxicating. Her beauty is something out of this world. Whenever you're around her you just want to loose yourself to her and never return. And… and when she sings… its like there is no tomorrow. Unlike Christine, she is the music. She knows what to do with it and when to do it. And unlike Christine she had that aura about her. The kind where you feel like she'll do anything for you and you for her. Like you can be her ever-absent father and she can be a mother. Christine didn't make you feel like that. With her you wanted to protect and save her. With Christina you're the one who needs the saving but she does too. You can nurture that rare vulnerability that she never shows."

At this I looked hard at him and never withdrew my gaze. He could explain my love for Christina like he was feeling it. He knew the way I felt about her down to the part about wanting to loose myself in her.

"What about your face." I said not faltering in my gaze. He retuned the gaze just as powerful.

"That's why Christina is here. Because ofour face."

CHRIS' POV

"Adry you said we needed to talk. What exactly about?" I asked after we finished.

She laughed and walked over sitting next to me, fiddling with my hair.

"About you of course. When Darienne comes back he is going to explain something to you. You're gonna have a choice and its not gonna be easy. I'm here to prepare you. So here I want you to go and get into this."

With a point of her hand I saw across the lake a beautiful black dress with red mesh over the very slim skirt. It was a low cut dress I never would have worn under normal circumstances. But with the look on her face I knew I should.

"Adry. Why does Darienne look so much like Erik."

I had changed into the dress by now.With a little help getting into the corset of course fromAdrienne.I had decided to wear my hair down in soft waves around my face. Adrienne had helped to take the braids out and remove the dye so I looked like a normal girl. Eventually we decided against it and we put the braids and dye back in.

"Because Darienne is Erik. I can't really explain it. It's hard to understand. It was hard for me to understand too, but after awhile I learned to realize the truth."

For some reason this didn't exactly surprise me.

"You knew that already didn't you?" She asked. "Well nothing gets passed you now does itwolf."

"Hey guys. Hey Christina."

I whirled around to see Darienne standing behind me.

"Come on Chrissy we got a lot to talk about. Oh by the way. I think that's the first time I have ever really seen you in a dress. You look great." He said taking my had and leading me away.

uh this didt turn out the way I wanted ot to. But yay! I think it kinda sucks to tell the truth. Sorry guys.
