Chapter 5-Coming Back

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Phantom Of The Opera!

notes: none for now. Here it is...

The crowd cheered as the curtain closed down as Christine and the others finished Il Muto for the night. Christine beamed happily as she ran towards to Raoul who came down from the box and into her dressing room along with Blaire. "I was so nervous at first but I overcame myself!" She exclaimed as Raoul kissed her.

"Does this mean your actually going to sing in the opera for real this time? Like last time?" Raoul asked as Christine nodded and she picked up her daugheter who was asking for her to be picked up, "did you sense you-know-who while you were singing?" Raoul asked as Christine stared at him.

"Why Raoul, are you jealous?" She asked with a smile as Raoul stared at her, "I just want to protect you like last time," he said as Christine shook her head. "No, I hadn't sensed him," she lied as Raoul frowned at her answer.

(Flashback)

Christine danced with one of the man that was on stage as the man twirled her around; she looked up for a moment at the very far of the theater as she saw someone in black. Christine began singing as she tried to focus her attention to the audience that was staring at her, but every time, she glances up to see if Erik was watching her.

She glanced up slowly and she saw that Erik was really watching her in the shadows since she knew that Erik and Blaire were occupied in box 5 which was reserved for him by Madame Giry. She looked down at the audience but after awhile she glanced up to see if he was still their, he wasn't.

Christine just kept on singing as if nothing happened. She looked at her right for a moment to see that Raoul was staring at her as well, he had a worried look on his face as Christine's daughter Blaire was watching her happily.

(End Flashback)

"Mommy, can we go to the bathroom really quick?" Blaire asked slowly as Christine nodded, "Raoul, we'll be back in a moment," she said as Raoul waited for the two in the dressing room. Blaire sighed in relieved as she saw the bathroom right ahead of her, Christine chuckled as she put her down and Blaire took off as Christine followed her.

"Mama, can I go by myself? I want to do this and see if I can do it," Blaire said sdlowly as Christine looked at her for a minute and she nodded slowly. "Very well. I'll wait for you outside the bathroom but scream if somebody grabs you," she said as Blaire nodded and she went inside.

"Christine?" A voice asked through the air suddenly.

Christine blinked as she looked around and jumped slightly as she felt an hand placed on her shoulder. She turned around as she was faced with a mask man, "Erik," she smiled as Erik beamed and the two hugged each other. "This is a surprise. I thought by now you'll be screaming my name for Raoul to come down," Erik said.

"That was a long time ago Erik. I am sorry that I did not visit you throughout the years but I had been busy and Raoul would be too suspicious if I come here when this place was being renovated," Christine explained as Erik nodded. "I wish to see you again and we must chat to catch up," he said as Christine nodded slowly.

"I'll be singing again in two days. Hopefully you'll be watching?" Christine asked with a smile as Erik smiled back, "I guess you saw me then, huh?" He said as Christine chuckled. The bathroom doors opened as Erik tried to go away quickly but Christine held his arm, "I want you to meet my daughter," she said quietly as Erik wasn't so sure about it.

Blaire came out off the bathroom as she looked at Christine and then saw Erik. "Mama, who's that?" She asked as she gestured towards to Erik, Christine smiled as she knelt down to her level. "Remember the story that I've been telling you? The Phantom Of The Opera?" She asked as Blaire nodded slowly then her eyes widened, "that's him?"

Christine chuckled, "yes. But he changed and his name is Erik, Blaire," she said with a smile. Blaire looked at Erik for a moment, "why is he wearing a mask?" She asked as she had trully forgotten what the story was about. "Christine?" A voice called out as Erik knew who it was and he quickly vanished.

Christine sighed as the two looked up and saw Raoul, coming towards them as he panted slowly. "Raoul, what's wrong?" Christine asked worriedly, "Ma-Madame Giry, she wants you now because their are many newspaper interviews you have to do!" Raoul said with a smile as Christine gasped at him.

"What?" She asked as Raoul nodded, "apparently they all love to hear you sing and they want to interview you for the newspaper so that everyone could watch you again! Isn't that great?" He asked as Christine went to hugged him tightly. Unknown to them, Erik was watching the two from the shadows as Christine and her family went to go and meet Annette.
