Chapter 4
It was semi-dark inside the opera house; the only light coming from a few broken windows. Orianna picked up a broken candle and pulled a lighter from her bag. She lit the candle and slipped the lighter in her pocket. The candle provided some light but not much. She made her way up a long staircase. It looked extremely fragile but she wanted to prove Rosa wrong. She entered a very large room with the only light coming from the tiny candle she held. She spotted the stage and made her way down to it. She passed the dozens of rows of chairs trying to imagine what they used to look like. She tried using her candle to see the large room but she couldn't. She tried to imagine what the large opera house looked like in its glory days.
She finally reached the stage and hopped up on it. She noticed candelabra and lit it. Once it was brighter in the room she found two more and lit those. She blew out her little candle and looked around the stage. It looked like the wood was ready to give way. It was creaky and some of the boards had holes in them. There were a few things that had sheets over them to hide whatever was under it. She raised a brow and looked over at the largest one. She walked over to it and then looked out over the room.
"Okay, mister phantom of the opera, its time to show yourself! Would you like me to sing for you?" She smiled and tried to think of a good song. "How about some broadway? Is Les Mis good for you?" She cleared her throat and stood at the edge of the stage. "I hope your listening." She shut her eyes and began to sing.
"How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last
This change, can people really fall in love so fast?
What's the matter with you, Cosette?
Have you been too much on your own?
So many things unclear
So many things unknown.
In my life
There are so many questions and answers
That somehow seem wrong
In my life
There are times when I catch in the silence
The sigh of a faraway song
And it sings
Of a world that I long to see
Out of reach
Just a whisper away
Waiting for me!"
She waited for some type of answer and began to laugh. She shook her head and turned around.
"I can't believe I did this. But, now that I've proved Rosa wrong, time to get away from crazy phantom land." She went to blow out the candles when she felt something nagging at the back of her mind. She glanced over to the large sheeted object. "Well, when in Rome…" She walked over to it and stared at it. She grabbed at it and tugged on it. It wouldn't come off. She put two hands on it and pulled it off. She lost her balance almost tripping over something, but steadied herself. Before she could even get her head straight, out of nowhere came this harsh, organ music. Then, the large chandelier she had uncovered had sparked and lit up. She stood there her mouth open wide and her eyes glued open. The chandelier began to raise itself. Everything around her began to clean itself up. She turned around and around trying to take everything in when she felt herself feeling extremely dizzy and exhausted. She fell onto the floor, unconscious.
Orianna finally felt herself coming to. She heard voices and kept her eyes closed, trying to focus in on what they were saying. She had a splitting headache and her stomach was all in knots.
"Get the medic, hurry!" She heard a concerned voice say. It sounded like Rosa. She smiled and kept her eyes closed, playing this for all it was worth. She cleared her throat.
"Don't worry, I'm alive." She said sarcastically.
"Oh goodness, Christine, you're awake!" She heard a squeaky voice say.
Orianna raised a brow and opened her eyes. About 3 or 4 curly haired pointed nosed girls were staring at her. She let out a scream and all the girls backed away. She sat up quickly and looked around. What she saw drove all sarcasm and fun away from the situation.
(A/N- I decided a cliffhanger would be mean so I left you with a tiny one! But, you can guess where she is lol. Oh and the when in rome line is because I was watching Anchorman with my friends and I decided to put that line in here. I love that movie! Anyways, back to the story!
