It's an update! I hope this time I'll get some reviews. Here's the second chappie.
Chapter1
The Opera Populaire: Home sweet home
The inside of the building was bigger than the outside. The first room they first came into had beautiful paintings, lovely statues of people made out of gold, and had a grand staircase. Anne and Ben slowed down and sometimes stopped to take in their new surroundings but Caine kept going.
When he got to the top of the grand staircase he yelled impatiently, "Come on, I don't have all day!" When they heard their brother's voice boom, they immediately ran up to him because they knew to not upset him even though he would not hurt them. They continued till they got to the main office.Caine was about to barge in but Anne stopped him.
"Knock first." she said calmly. He snorted and knocked on the door.
They waited a little bit till they heard not a voice, but two voices from behind the door say, "Come in." Anne slowly opened the door and peeked in and slowly went in. She saw two men in the huge room, one was behind the desk. He had a brown mustache and hair, he was in a brown evening suit, and he was tall but nowhere near Caine's height. The other man was sitting in a fluffy chair. He was shorter than the other man, he also had a mustache but it was grey like his hair and goatee.
The tall man said, "Why hello there and welcome to the Opera Populaire. Come in come in and sit down. "I am Firmin."
Then the shorter of the two said, "And I am Andre."
"Hello, I am Anne." she said as she came in. Then she stopped and gestured her brothers to come in. The first one to come in was Ben who was looking all around the room.
He stopped then said cheerfully, "I'm Ben." Then Caine came in threateningly while his eyes looked around the room.
He stopped by Anne and Ben and said coolly, "Caine."
Andre and Firmin stared at Caine and then Andre said, "Why do you not sit down on the couch and tell us what you need." The three walked over to the couch that was in front of the desk then Anne and Ben sat on it and Caine just stood beside the couch.
"Well, a few days ago our parents died..." Anne began but paused and looked at Caine who was staring at her as if to tell her something. She started again, "They died in an accident. We have been trying to find a new home and then our Aunt Christine said that we could stay here."
"Can you sing, dance, or play an instrument?" asked Firmin.
"Yes. I can sing and dance. Ben can play the piano. And Caine he..." she paused to find the right words to say. She finally said, "Let's say he is a genius."
Andre and Firmin looked at each other first then looked at Anne. Andre asked coolly, "What do you mean by 'genius'?"
Anne was about to say something but Caine held up his hand to stop her. Then he started to talk in his usual deep muscular voice, "Let's see, where should I start? Ah, I am an excellent musician, can play every instrument, a master magician, an architect, some people say I draw out the best plans in all of France, a good designer, I am an singer, and I am a composer, I have already composed several operas."
"Ah, I see. So what you are saying is that you can do almost anything that goes on in this opera house?" asked Firmin. Caine just nodded and finally took a seat.
Anne gently cleared her throat and said calmly, "We are here to ask where our room is and where we could find Christine." Andre nodded and pulled a rope that was attached to a bell. Then a woman rushed in the room. She looked like she was a maid.
"What is it you want, Monsieur Andre?" she asked.
"Yes can you get Madame Giry in here, please?" Andre asked politely. She bowed and rushed out of the room. A few minutes later a lady that looked like she was in her early 40's and that had a simple black evening dress, walked in the room.
"What is it, Monsieur Andre?" she asked.
"Yes, can you escort these three children to Mrs. Christine Daae?" Andre asked. When Andre said children, Caine growled lowly but it sounded more animalistic than human.
"Of course, right away. Come now children." Madame Giry said gesturing to them to come over to the door. Once again Caine growled at the word 'children' but time it was louder that Anne could hear it. She looked at Caine and saw that his eyes were getting colder than they usually were. As they went down the hall she started to fear for the health for some of the people around here.
Almost all the people in the halls they took stared at Caine as he passed by. Caine made a mentally noted to snap a few necks when he had the chance. They went to where the stage was and heard someone singing. Whoever's voice it was they had a beautiful voice but in both Anne and Ben's mind they were think
"That's a lovely voice but the best singer is Caine." Caine was completely ignoring it thinking that it was a waste of his time. The walked on stage and was surprised by who it was. It was Christine Daae.
Well that's it. Review and tell me if you liked it or not or if it needs something. Thanks.
