(This chapter was written after I got home from seeing Wicked on Broadway. And it was good….the musical. But, sorry if the chapter sucks. I have writers block and I was going to have her run into someone else and do some fop bashing but I decided it wouldn't flow right so here ya go!)
Chapter 6
The next day there was no rehearsals so Orianna decided to spend it exploring every single step of the opera house. She went from the back of the opera house to the front; from the top to the bottom. Every new room she found was exciting and new for her. After exploring, what she thought was every room; she felt the need to go back to the little chapel she found. She made her way around the winding corridors when she ran right into some girl.
"Watch where you're flipping going!" Orianna said.
"Excuse me!" she screamed.
Orianna stopped and stared at the women. She had diva written all over her and Orianna knew she must torture this lady. It was her new mission.
"You heard me! You should watch where you're going!"
"How dare you talk to me like that? You little toad!"
"Oh no you did not!" Orianna wanted to punch this woman. "I don't know who you think you are but I am not a little toad!"
"You are an opera rat and La Carlotta has more important things to be doing." She pushed past Orianna and continued down the hallway. Orianna growled and suppressed the urge to rip the horrible wig off that woman's big head. She turned around and made her way to the chapel. She sat down and tried to calm herself down. She sat down in the middle of the room and tried to forget the scene with that obnoxious wig-wearing diva. As she looked around, she tried to figure out why this place seemed to comfort her. She had only been her once and yet she seemed so drawn to it. She sighed and cleared her throat, putting her hand to her chest, when she felt something.
She looked down and noticed and chain. She found the clasp and undid it. It was a locket. How could she not notice this before? She smiled and opened it. Inside was a decaying old picture of a man with a smile in his eyes. Orianna noticed that they had the same nose and facial features. Could this possibly be that Christine's father? She sighed and heard a noise, causing her to drop the locket. It sounded like a piano. Well, not a piano, something with more strength behind it. An organ. She had seen one being played in church when her mother got remarried.
The music seemed so distant and faraway. She picked up the locket, closed it and placed it around her neck. Curious as to the whereabouts of the locket, Orianna got up and began searching for the sound. She made sure to look around every turn so as not to run into anyone she didn't want to see. She listened closely trying to follow it when suddenly it sounded as if it was coming from inside a dressing room. She opened the door and found it empty but with candles lit. It was the room with the huge mirror in it. When she entered the room the music stopped. She raised a brow and glanced around the room.
"Umm….hello?" She looked at the mirror. It was very creepy. It looked as though someone could just step right out of it.
Suddenly, a voice burst throughout the room. She was taken a back by its power and strength. It sounded almost like the organ that had been playing. She couldn't understand the words as it was being sung in Italian. It was probably an opera, she could tell by the power of the music and the lyrics. She turned to the door and tried to open it but it was locked.
"My dear Christine," the voice was singing to her, "Have you so easily forgotten you angel? One night away from your friend and guardian and you want to run away."
Again that feeling of being comforted and safe washed over her. She closed her eyes and shook her head.
"Okay, angel, I don't know who you are or what you think you're doing. But, it seems like this is a big joke and you're just trying to scare the bejesus out of me."
The door unlocked itself and she rushed out, up to her bed and threw herself on top of it. Most of the girls were still out for their day of freedom. As she jumped onto the bed, something fell onto the floor. She looked down and noticed a thin, leather bound book. She picked it up and opened it up.
"Dear Diary,
Father has brought me this for my birthday so that I can record my life onto these pages. He says I am destined for glory; once the Angel of Music comes my way…."
Orianna couldn't believe her eyes. She was about to read the life story of Christine Daae. Orianna sat up almost the entire night reading up about the stories Christine's dad told her, the house by the sea, some kid named Raoul she had a little fling with, her father's violin. All the way up to the most important pages.
"Dear Diary,
I have been here perhaps a week and already father has sent him. I have been visited by the angel of music. He sang to me listen night in an old dressing room and then he sang to me again tonight. He says I have much potential and that if I practice I too can be a great singer. The Angel of Music…."
Orianna was holding the book so tightly, enthralled by the words on the page.
