Chapter One
The talk with Raoul/Her Arrival
"Raoul?" Christine called out. "Where are you?"
"I'm in the parlor," he replied.
"I have been looking for you. I need to talk to you," she said. "I have been thinking and I realized that I miss Meg deeply and need to see her. So would you please get me a carriage ready so I may go visit her?"
"Where? At the Opera?" he asked a hint of worry in his voice. "There is no way I am going to allow you to go back there. How do I know your not just saying that so you can got back to that monster."
Christine slapped him hard on the cheek.
"Don't talk about him that way. And anyways why would I have chosen you if I am just going to go back to him? Hmmm?" He looked at her questioningly.
"Fine I'll order the carriage for you."
"Oh thank you so much." She kissed him on the cheek as if to say she was sorry for slapping him.
Then ran to her bedroom to get dressed.
She picked out a black, short-sleeved dress with a thin black shawl. The outfit was perfect for the weather they were having lately.
"Christine? Christine!" Raoul called a little agitated. "The carriage is ready. CHRISTINE!"
"Yes, I'm coming." Now she was getting irritated.
He was acting as if she were leaving him for good. Only she was just visiting a friend and returning later that night.
Why was he acting this way?
Was he really that afraid of her leaving him?
"Bye Raoul. I will return by night fall, I promise." With that said the carriage started out for the Opera Populaire.
When she got there the sight of the Opera sent chills down her spine and brought back horrible memories from that night, still so clear it was if it had just happened yesterday.
As she walked through the doors she became very anxious to see Meg and her angel again. Once she found Meg and Madame Giry they would help her find him. At least she thought they would.
Would Madame Giry help her find him after she betrayed him? The least she could do was ask.
