Hello my fellow readers!
I have found an app to use to write my stories on, but for now I will only update my divs here since won't accept the app document. Here's a new chapter for you all to enjoy, and my Mom is doing great!
She is still sick but it looks like she's going to be okay.

Laurel's POV

Antoinette, Meg, and Christine were relieved to see me safe and sound after my little adventure with Erik.

"How was he?" Christine asked as she escorted me back to my room.

I blushed at her question.

"He was very polite to me and I played a song for him" I said as I opened the door to my room. I felt my face turning red again. "How did your dinner go with Raoul anyway?"

Christine blushed at the question before she replied.

"It was very nice, Raoul however kept worrying about you"

I had almost forgotten about Raoul coming back to the doors last night. However I suddenly yawned and shook my head and turned to Christine.

"I'm going to rest for awhile before rehearsals"

Tonight we were playing the opera II Muto and I hoped Erik wouldn't suggest me playing the damn Countess. One that act had to go to Carlotta and second I hated the color pink. I wouldn't mind playing the Page boy since it was a funny role.
Christine nodded and she hugged me before she turned around and left me alone to rest. By now Carlotta was back and the whole letter fiasco would happen . I let out another yawn before I pulled back the covers and fell asleep once more.

Erik's POV

I silently entered Laurel's room from one of my many hidden passageways. She was sound asleep when I walked towards her. She looked like an angel as she slept and I bent down so my face hovered over hers. I was about to kiss her forehead when she suddenly whimpered and I pulled my face away.

"Mom! You can't be dead, you just can't!" she yelled.

She was having a nightmare I realized and I once more bent my face down to hers. I kissed her forehead and when my lips touched her flesh her breathing became less stressed.
"Sleep my angel" I whispered to her before I took my leave.

Laurel's POV

I don't know how long I had been asleep but I swore I heard Erik's voice. My eyes opened and they scanned around the room, I was alone but I caught Erik's scent which meant he had been in the room with me. I felt my face turn red before I pulled myself out of bed. I removed my night clothes and pulled on fresh undergarments before pulling on a white poet shirt with black pants, I then pulled on a pair of black boots Leo gave me. There was a knock at the door and I said to whomever it was to come in. Antoinette came in with an annoyed Christine and Meg.

"Let me guess Ms. Bitchy is back?" I asked. Christine and Meg chuckled and Madame Giry only nodded.

"You will be playing the Pageboy in tonight's show Laurel" Antoinette said.

"That's fine my voice needs rest anyway from last night I just hope my ears don't go deaf from Carlotta"
I smirked at Christine and Meg who began to laugh so hard they had tears in there eyes.

The rest of the chorus had a quick dinner before getting ready for the show. Meg helped me into costume while Christine did the make up. Carlotta passed me and I winced at the costume she wore. The bitch shot me a look which I replied with a death glare before she and I went to the prop bed and waited for our part patiently.

Christine's POV

I watched as the show started two of our actors wore a blue and yellow costume while the other actress wore a purple dress. They all had wigs on and wore the intense make up or what Laurel referred to as crap. Meg looked cute in her maid outfit.

They say that this youth has set my lady's heart aflame

His lordship sure would die of shock

His lordship is a laughingstock

Should he suspect her, God protect her

Shame, Shame, Shame

This faithless lady is bound for Hades

Shame, Shame, Shame

I chuckled at the way Meg shook her finger as though one would scold a child. The curtain that had Carlotta and Laurel covered opened.

Laurel's POV

I stroked Carlotta right side in a loving manner and as she pulled away her fan I fake gasped. I was actually enjoying this role. I was dressed in a maid costume with pants underneath, Carlotta began to sing her part.

Serafimo your disguise is perfect

One of the musicians did the pretend knock and Carlotta continued.

Why who could this be?

Gentle wife

Admit your loving husband

Piangi came onto the stage along with his dwarf counter part and pretended to smack Meg's rear and she gasped which made the audience laugh. I began to pretend to dust and clean while Carlotta walked forward.

My love, I've been called to England

On affairs of state

And must leave you with your new maid

At that note I shook my rear as Piangi did his part, I then turned around giving him a fake disapproving look.

"Though I would happily take the maid with me"

"The old fool is leaving" Carlotta added to the audience.

I held back a laugh before returning to my part. I tuned out the rest of Carlotta god awful singing until Piangi went offstage. I went over to Carlotta taking off the skirt and the rest of the maid outfit which got my fellow colleagues to gasp and the audience laughed.

Serafimo, away with this pretense

You cannot speak but kiss me in my husband's absence

She and I bent forward and she held up her fan in front of us and we pretended to do such kiss.

The crowd laughed and I continued to play the role of the Countess's lover, I would walk around Carlotta with my hands on my hips.

"Did I knock instruct that Box 5 be kept empty?!" came the voice of Erik. My heart began to beat like wildfire and I looked up towards the doomed ceiling with the chandelier hanging from it.

"He's here the Phantom of the Opera" Meg whispered.

"It's him alright" I agreed.

"Your part is silent little toad" Carlotta snapped waving her fan at me. I only shot her a death look before she left the stage briefly to get her mouth sprayed. I tuned out her voice while I look once more above and my eyes saw movement. My face turned red again just as Carlotta returned to the stage, Reyer began to play the music and said diva began to sing once more or well until her voice croaked.

I turned my head away and hid back a laugh. A second later her voice croaked again and this time things got serious. The crowd began to laugh their assess off as was the rest of the cast. The curtain was drawn and Carlotta hurried offstage completely embarrassed.

Christine and Meg came over to me and they were about to tell me something when Firmin suddenly pulled me out onto the stage and announced to the public I would be playing the Countess. I shot an unhappy look at the two stooges before the crowd clapped and I rolled my eyes and hurried off with Antoinette to prep me for the role of the Countess.

Antoinette helped me into the dress that Christine wore in this part of the movie. I suddenly swore as I my thirst for human blood surface. Damn it now wasn't the time for my vampire side to act up. Then I felt she wasn't thirsty for blood, but for something else. I had heard of how a mating bond began and from the tales from my parents and reading I understood what was going on.
At the same time my inner wolf was awake and she howled for our mate, to mark him, to claim him as ours. I suddenly noticed a red rose with the black ribbon tied to it. I walked over to it and picked it up. Erik's scent hit me hard and both my vampire side and wolf side recognized him as our mate.

"Are you alright Laurel?" Antoinette asked. I turned to her about to answer when the door to the Prima Donna room opened and in came Christine and Meg all upset.

"What happened?" Madame Giry demanded.

"Bouquet is dead he was killed by the Phantom" Meg said just as Raoul came into the room. He hurried to Christine and embraced her since she was upset. I used this chance to leave the room needing some space.

I climbed the steps that led to the roof. I opened the door and the night air greeted me as I stepped onto the snow. I wore a dark blue cloak underneath the dress.

"Laurel?"

I turned to see a concerned Raoul.

"Are you alright Christine sent me up here to find you?"

"I am fine my friend I just needed some air you should go back down to Christine she needs you right now, how is Meg she looked just as upset as Christine was"

I was worried for the blonde young woman.

"She is fine, Leo is comforting her"

I nodded at him but what Raoul did next shocked me.

He came over and gave me a reassuring hug which I accepted. The embrace was quick because I know Erik was watching and I didn't want my mate to think I didn't love him. Because I was falling for him and fast but my fear was he would shun me when he learned the truth I wasn't human, instead a half breed born from a forbidden union.

Raoul pressed a kind kiss against my forehead before he turned around and left me alone. I snarled as I felt my vampire side begging to be released, wanting to find our mate and claim him.

"Laurel?"

I growled when I heard Erik's voice.

"Don't come any closer I don't want to hurt you" I warned the Phantom as he approached me. I snarled as I fell to my knees now about to lose control of my vampire side.

"You're in pain my angel" Erik said as he suddenly touched my back.

Without warning I was on my feet again and I quickly pulled Erik towards me. My lips hungrily met upon his which surprised him. I felt him slide one hand around my waist while the other caressed my hair. I couldn't believe I was kissing the Phantom of the Opera and damn his lips tasted good against mine. My vampire half wanted more meaning drawing blood. It was then I had to pull away from Erik. I felt my eyes glowing red and my fangs were elongated. I looked to Erik who looked stunned at what he was seeing. I felt tears go down my face. I then walked past Erik and went to the edge of the roof.

"Laurel don't!" he shouted as I leapt from the roof.

Erik's POV

I screamed Laurel's name after she jumped, I rushed to the edge and my eyes went wide when I saw her safe on the ground. She looked back to me with her saddened face before she turned around and ran off at inhuman speed. She apparently had something to hide from me and I would find out, but for now all I could do was watch as she vanished into the night.
