"I have to go." she said and she got up and headed for the door but Andre, Firmin, and Marquis stood in front of her to stop her from reaching the door. "Please Monsieur, I can't answer your questions." she said. "Why can't you answer them do you not know where you live?" Firmin asked. "No, I do its just….my father told me only to answer questions about the audition." she said. Her blue eyes looked at the three men in front of her pleading for someone to give in to her. The viscount came in this time with the woman who was Erik's student." "Mrs. De Changey are you alright?" Firmin asked. "Yes, I'm fine Firmin but please we're all friends call me Christine." she said. "Who is this?" she asked looking at Christina. "I am Christina, Chris for short." she said. "Are you the one who is supposedly Erik's daughter?" Christine asked. Chris nodded.
"Who is your mother?" She asked. "I don't know but my father said she was a great diva and had the voice of an angel and he says my voice is like hers." Chris answered. "Christina, Would you stay with me and my family tonight I would like to talk more to you." Christine asked and she looked at Marquis and the viscount. "I can't my father will wonder where I am and he told me the only places I am allowed to be are within the opera house, the stables and home." Chris told Christine. "Are you afraid of your father, Chris?" The viscount asked. "No, viscount I love him and I do what he tells me to do because he raised me and taught me everything I know." she explained. "Christina, I will write a message to your father and if he comes looking for you M. Firmin or Andre will give him the note, Ok." Christine asked. "Yes, madam." chris said. Christine wrote Erik a note and left it with the managers. She led Christina out to the carriage and then stepped in and motioned for Christina to do the same and
She sat opposite of Christine and Marquis. "Raoul, do we still have some old clothes that Chris could sleep in tonight?" Christine asked the Viscount. "Yes, dear we do." he said smiling at Christine. "how old are you Christina?" Raoul asked "I am 16 viscount." she answered. "Oh, Raoul it's like when we were young except I was being fought over by two men." Christine laughed. "Lets not forget the same man who tried to kill me now has an offspring who is here with us." He added. Christina knew they where talking about her father and herself. "So how did you meet her Marquis?" Raoul asked his son. "She was watching me and Andre from the stables and when I saw her she hid in one horses stall who gave her away." he said half laughing.
Soon they arrived at the De Changey's house and Christina followed them inside.
