Chapter 1: The Sign of a Angel

I slowly open my eyes and darkness is still in my vision. I sit up and looked around the darkness had finally faded and. I look out the window and see that it is still dark out with just the dimmed light of lanterns. "Another day of work" I sigh and started getting ready to work.

As I put on my uniform, I look in the mirror. I have dark circles under my eyes, and my hair's a mess. " Great, just what I need, I look like a witch." I quickly brush out all of the tangles that are in my hair and put it up in a high bun. After, I finish getting ready I run into the kitchen and grab an apple.

I look at the clock and it says that it is 4:30 am. I rush back to my room. " I have thirty minutes until work starts" I think to myself. I grabbed one of my favorite books and started to read. This story was about a lost little girl with no home or any family left. As I continue reading for about fifteen minutes.

Then I heard the voice of Madame Giry yell " Amelia!" I quickly put down my book and run out of my room leaving the book in it's place.

When I enter the room, I bowed at Madame Giry. She looks at me and says " I need you to prepare breakfast, our cooks are all out today." I bowed and ran into the kitchen.

" No wonder why I didn't see the cooks cooking breakfast." I start to make the breakfast that they usually have but I twisted it. I added cinnamon and brown sugar to the oatmeal.

The rest I did normally. After forty five minutes, I was finally finished with breakfast. I sat down for about a minute to rest, " kitchen work is a lot harder than I thought it would be." Then, I ran off into the dining room and I quickly put cups on the table to fill either juice or water with

I put down the bowls and plates, then, I put the oatmeal and toast on a tray. I started to waited for the staff, ballerinas and singers to come out. After, five minutes of waiting, they all come rushing in. Each sitting in a seat and gossiping among themselves. Madame giry comes in and the room is silent. She looks at me and nods.

I come around and poured the oatmeal in their bowls, each of them looking at it like it was something new, then started trying it. "I guess they still don't trust me."

Each one had a look of surprise on their face except Christine, who just looked at her oatmeal. I handed out the toast individually and waited. All of them came back for seconds and I stood there waiting, again. When it seemed like everyone was done I looked down into the pot and saw there was just enough for some later.

I smiled brightly when suddenly Christine came up and asked me, " I do not particularly like this oatmeal, can I have something else?" I frowned, but then, immediately faked smiled and wrote down " of course, Miss Daae."

With myself I no longer address by my last name because, my father told me to go by my mother's maiden name. I ran to the kitchen and quickly started making her dish. After I was finished, I raced back and set it down in front of her.

I quickly collected the dishes that were no longer being used and headed back to the kitchen.

Madame Giry's POV

I watched as Amelia ran into the kitchen. I look over at Christine, who was eating only a few pieces before pushing the plate away from her. " Amelia made that for her, "why would she only take a couple of bites then, just push it away". I walk into the kitchen and looked at Amelia who was working very hard. " She will definitely get blisters later." I watched her for a couple more minutes then left to go teach the little ballerinas.

1 Hour Later

Amelia's POV

After I finished the last dish I look at my hands to see that there were blisters forming. I quickly went to my room and put some medicine on my hands. I look in the mirror and saw that my bun fell out. I quickly put it back up. I started to walk down the hallway when I heard some of the other maids arguing.

" I don't want to clean box five, what if the phantom gets me" one of the maids said. "All of the rest of us have done it, it's your turn!" Yelled another one. I roll my eyes and walked to get a notepad.

" Seriously, wouldn't you think he would be grateful for someone to clean his box, so why would he kill the at person who cleaned it?" I walked up to the other maids and hand them a note that says " if it's such a problem between you all, I will just do it. You all will no longer have to do it at all."

They all looked at me like I had just grown an extra head but then the maid from earlier came up and said " Yeah, just let her do it."

The head maid looked at me and sighed " are you sure?" I nod my head. She gives me all the cleaning supplies, I turned around and started to head towards box five.

Once I reached there I started on the chairs that were there. They were tattered and worn, so I grabbed the chair and headed to my room. I sanded it down and colored it again. It would take awhile so I go back to the box and get all the cobwebs out. I polished the railing and cleaned the rest of the room. I got back to my room and started to reupholster the seat with red fabric that I bought.

I brought it back to the room and inspected the room. I looked at the table and there was a dark pink rose.

I picked it up and looked at it. I smiled and went to write a note.

A/N: So was this a nice chapter. I know she doesn't really have any dialogue. I hope I get some reviews but I am grateful for the readers that at least read this.
