Chapter 10-Raoul's Family Estate
Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Phantom Of The Opera!
Me: well, this is isn't actually my first attempt in making a fiction, but it is in this sort of category.
christine: it's about time you've updated.
me: Haha Christine. You know that I'm busy.
Raoul: can we please get onto the story and quit chatting?
me: Your not the boss of me!
Erik: Well, onto the story!
I smiled at Raoul as he helped me out off the carriage as well as Blaire as we finally arrived at Raoul's family home. Already, I've begun to miss Erik even though it hadn't been six hours yet. Raoul's brother, Philippe came out of the mansion as he went to go and greet us. "Finally, I'm meeting Christine Daae in the flash," he said as he took my hand and kissed it as I blushed embarrassed.
"I'm glad to meet you also Philippe," I said as I curtsy him as Philippe smiled and saw Blaire beside me. "Why don't you go inside and I'm sure the cook could make you something," he said as Blaire looked at me and I nodded as Blaire smiled happily and she ran inside, "I'm glad that both of you could make it," Philippe said as we began to walk inside.
"I wish I could have seen your father one last time," I said slowly as Raoul nodded. "Last time he saw you, we were out in the sea when we were little kids right? When I was about to leave," he said as I nodded, "it was such a long time ago. If only he could see me now," I said as Raoul nodded sadly.
"Is Christine here?" A female voice asked as I looked up and saw Raoul's mother coming out of the door as she saw me walking with the two man. She squealed as she went to go and hugged me as I hugged her back, "it's been so long my dear," she said as I agreed. "I heard that your the store of the Opera house here," she said slowly as I nodded.
"Carlotta used to be the star until her voice was like a toad. Don't you remember Raoul?" I asked as Raoul chuckled, "oh hush it you two. She's probably all better and is trying out for the opera this year," Mrs. De Chagny said. "Mom, you actually like her?" Philippe asked as Mrs. De Chagny chuckled, "of course not. Christine is the favorite," she said as I blushed embarrassed.
"Well, I should really unpack our stuff," I said slowly as Raoul looked at me. "Don't mind mother. Hopefully she didn't offend you or anything," he said as Mrs. De Chagny playfully hit on her son's arm as Raoul smirked, "I'm just tired. Could you show me to where is our guest room?"
"You'll be sleeping within my brother's old room and Blaire is sleeping next door to it," Philippe said as I nodded and Raoul took me up to his old room.
"I know something's wrong Christine. What is it?" Raoul asked as I didn't looked at him as I opened our trunk and began to unpack, "it's about that monster, isn't it? Your still in love with him!" Raoul said angrily as that finally did it as I turn to glare at him angrily. "Erik is not a monster and you know that! His a better man then you Raoul!" I spat as Raoul grabbed my arm firmly.
"Christine, listen to me, if you go to him, what about Blaire? What will happen to her then?" He asked as I didn't looked at him, "that's what I thought. Forget about Erik and think about how Blaire would feel if we were to split up. Now, I'll meet you down for dinner," Raoul said as he kissed me on the cheek and he went downstairs.
I groaned as I laid back on the bed as I looked up at the ceiling. What has happened with our family?
I went downstairs a little while later as I heard one of the maids calling for me for dinner. I saw the whole entire family at the dining room table as well as Blaire as I smiled and took a seat next to her. I looked up and saw Raoul staring at me, I knew what he was thinking. But I can't just forget about Erik whom I really love.
I have to escape soon and I have to take Blaire with me no matter what the cause is.
tbc...
Erik: that was it?
me: at least it isn't over yet!
Erik: but where was I?
me: later in the next few chapters.
Erik: what?
Raoul: good. We don't want you anyway.
Erik: Say that again! I dare you!
Christine: we'll be onto the next chapter soon
Blaire: review and update!
