Chapter 11

"…to the seat of sweet music's throne

To this kingdom where all must pay

Homage to music…music…"

He stopped playing but continued to sing while Orianna sat there in wonderment.

"You have come here

For one purpose and one alone…"

He slowly turned towards her and moved away from the organ.

"Since the moment I first heard you sing

I have needed you with me to serve me to sing

For my music, my music…."

His smile disappeared, turning into an intense gaze. Orianna breathed sharply and licked her lips nervously. Thinking where this was going.

"Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation ...
Darkness stirs and
wakes imagination ...
Silently the senses
abandon their defenses ..."

While he was singing, he moved closer and closer to the boat. He extended his hand out to her and she slipped her hand in his, stepping out of the boat. He led her along, continuing his song but she just stared in his eyes, transfixed on their intensity and beauty. He looked away for a second breaking the gaze and she let her ADD get the best of her, glancing around his musical home. Suddenly, she felt his hand on her cheek, turning her face back to him.

"Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to
the music of the night ..."

He pulled her closer to him, holding both her hands in his gloved hands. She looked up to him (since she was shorter by a couple inches), breathing a little heavier, feeling the sexual tension growing between them.

"Close your eyes
and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts
of the life
you knew before!

Close your eyes..."

He took his hand and slid it over her face not touching it, as if commanding her to close her eyes. She did as told, well motioned, and her breath staggered, feeling his breath on her face.

"…let your spirit
start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never
lived before ..."

She opened her eyes, taking a step back and he smiled down at her.

"Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it.."

He pulled her closer to him again until their faces were almost touching.

"…secretly possess you…"

He began to move away from her keeping his closeness and passionate stare.

"Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness" (motioning to his home.)
"…that you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of
the music of the night."

He began to move behind candles and such, Orianna watching him, following his every move.

"Let your mind
start a journey through a
strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world
you knew before..."

She suddenly realized what she was doing and felt her cheeks turning red again. She had to look away, feeling so dumb for what was happening. She looked at the floor and then at him.

"Let your soul
take you where you
long to be!"

She had turn from him, feeling the tension between them too much. She began to fiddle her fingers, contemplating her decision on coming down here. She had never had these emotions before and she didn't like it. She barely knew this guy. He was like a phantom. That's when it hit her but she couldn't think about it now as she felt him coming closer to her.

"Only then
can you belong
to me ..."

He stood behind her and began running his hands down her arms. He moved one onto her stomach and she took a sharp intake of breath.

"Floating, fooling,
sweet intoxication…"

She felt on pins and needles, her stomach all in knots. She didn't want to make the wrong move because she liked the fact that he was touching her.

One hand stayed on her stomach as the other sought her hand, finding it and taking it in its own. She closed her eyes and let him guide her hand up to his face.

""Touch me, trust me,
savor each sensation."

He began turning her around to face him and she snapped her eyes open. He began to lead her somewhere else and she just followed. She was now determined to let this man guide her wherever, she was giving him her mind blindly.

"Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of
the music that I write -
the power of
the music of the night ..."

He led her to a large object with a sheet over it. Whatever it was he seemed extremely pleased with it. He grabbed at one of the ends and pulled off the sheet; revealing a mannequin with a large frame around it as if a mirror was there but no glass. Her eyes widened when she noticed it was a life-size Christine doll. He came and stood next to her, she glanced at him and he was staring at the doll. She took a step closer and it seemed to jump out at her. Overwhelmed by the intensity of the night and the creepy doll, Orianna fainted. The phantom caught her before she hit the ground and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her to a bed he had carved for her. He set her down in the bed and covered her with a blanket. He leaned down with a face of mixed emotions. He put his hand to her cheek stroking it lovingly.

"You alone
can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night ..."

Raoul's POV

"My dear Vicomte, I wish I knew on what subject you were speaking."

"Madame Giry, I heard a man's voice in Christine's dressing room. I would like to know why the door was locked."

"I assure you there was no man, with the exception of yourself, in Miss Daae's dressing room, I made certain of that."

"Then why was the door locked?"

"Monsieur I do not know, all I know is that you should be getting to your home and getting rest. Perhaps Miss Daae was speaking in her sleep. She was quite tired when you had left her."

Raoul stood up and looked away.

"Perhaps you are right."

"If I may ask, is there a reason you are so concerned with the well being of Miss Daae?"

Raoul looked at her smiling face and shook his head.

"We are a childhood friends that is the only reason. Well, Madame, I must be on my way."

"I shall accompany you out."

Madame Giry guided Raoul out of the opera house, Meg Giry stepped out of the shadows and into her mother's room grabbing her keys. She was going to see what had happened to her friend.

((bumbumbum Drama! I want Raoul to not be as much as a fop like in the movie! He is better in the play so I think I'm going to take that angle. I feel kind of bad for him so… Well I hope you liked this chapter! Continue to review please! And ill continue writing!))
