Raoul stopped and stared. I crouched lower. That idiot! I thought. Why did he have to burst in now?

"Christine Daae?" Raoul asked, stunned.

"Well, well, well," Christine said, annoyed. "Look's whose finally come to say hello!"

"Who... is... this... man?..." Raoul asked.

"You needn't know," Erik said, wrapping his cloak around himslef and Christine, they disappeared.

I wonder who he does that, I thought. Raoul was just standing, shocked. I wanted to go back to Erik's house, but I couldn't. Raoul was just stupidly standing there. So I decided to play with his mind for a bit.

"He loves her," I whispered.

"Whose there?" Raoul cried, looking around. I ignored the comment.

"And she loves him. You'll never win her heart."

"Who speaks of such things?!" Raoul asked again.

"No matter how hard you try," I said, taking off my digital watch. "Her heart will always belongs to the Phantom of the Opera." With that, I threw my watch. Raoul looked at it lying on the floor, while I snuck down from Apollo's Lyre, and ran back down the stairs and behind the stage.

Raoul looked at the watch for a minute. Never had he seen anything so odd before. It was black with pink stripes on it, it was made out of this plasticy material, and it read the time on it in such an unothodox fashion, he dropped it.

Suddenly, There was a noise behind him. There was that annoying little Devoir brat with the irresponsible father, climbing down from Apollo's Lyre, and hurrying into the Opera house. There was something strange about that girl, so Raoul decided to fallow her.

I practically skipped to the trap door. I rapped on it, and Erik opened it so fast, I almost hit my nose. "What?" he whispered.

"Can I please come back in, Erik?" I asked.

"Go back to your dormitory," Erik said. "Christine and I are having a singing lesson."

"Why now?"

Erik sighed. "You're a very nosey girl," he said.

"I know, but-"

"Look," Erik said, urgently. "Christine's waiting for me, I can't be long. So go to the dormitory and go to sleep!"

"It's only eight thirty!" I argued.

"You girls from 2006 are so argumental!" With that, Erik slammed the trap door. I huffed.

"Guys from 1870 are so impatient!" I said, as I walked to my dormitory.

Had Raoul heard that Erik person correct? Was that girl from 2006? That was approximately 140 years from now! Raoul looked at the watch thing. But maybe that Erik wasn't lying.

Who was that man who had Christine in his arms anyway? What Raoul saw was this:

There was a man dressed all in black evening wear, with a peculiar white mask on the left side of his face, with beautiful Christine in his arms. It looked as if they had just kissed. Raoul loved Christine, but he never had the chance to because of that stupid Antoinette girl. She kept bugging him at those times and those times only.

"There's something unusual with that girl," he said. "And I am going to follow her, Erik, and Christine until I get an answer!" Raoul exited the Opera house, and went home.
