Christine
I was extremely nervous... I still could not pin-point exactly why. I knew it had something to do with the past... I was extremely worried. Meg could tell; she walked over and gave me a hug as she said, "Don't worry Christine... You will do fine; it's natural. Everyone feels this way when they are doing something they haven't done in a while."
I gave her a weak smile. It obviously wasn't enough for her because she continued, "Christine... You will do perfectly, as you always do... Trust me." She smiled and lifted my bowed head up so she could see my eyes; they were welling up with tears... Oh how I hated crying in front of her...
I smiled as best I could and it had to be good enough because Mrs. Giry opened my door and cried, "10 minutes everyone! 10 minutes till curtain time!"
I hurried and finished my hair and made sure everything was in order. I then walked to the stage and found my place; I was so nervous I felt faint, but I kept my composure. I knew I had to do this; I had come to far not to... "I must. I must... for Erik." I whispered to myself.
It was soon time for the curtain to open and the show to go on.
Erik
I found myself blindly walking through what was to be done before the performance. I finished the last things I had to do with only a few minutes to spare. I stopped for a moment to think of anything else that was needed to be done... I could not think of anything... If there was anything it had to wait because I did not have much time left.
I ran to Box 5 and waited for curtain time. I was almost as nervous as Christine was; I seated myself regained whatever sense I had and thought for a while... I was debating if I was going to do this... But as soon as Christine came upon the stage I knew it must be done.
Raoul
I sat in my normal box and waited for Christine to go on... She was so beautiful tonight. Her voice made everyone melt into the words; I knew I must do something... I could not live without her.
She has been poisoned by a beast she thought she loved. Stolen from me... Taken from the man whom loved her more than life itself. Her vision has been blurred by this man, but soon she will see clearly. "It will soon be time; the truth will come soon Little Lotte. You will see." I whispered.
Christine
The final song was soon coming. The last song was sung by all three characters and Lucie was too choose whom she loved... "Down Once More I go." I breathed as the curtain opened. When the curtain lifted, I did not find the men I was to be singing with. I found two figures, they began to sing. They were a blur to me at first. It soon became clear to me though who they were.
"Erik? Raoul?" I breathed as the two figures began to sing. I was shocked. I looked in the boxes that the two usually sat in too find them empty. I knew it was them... The reason I was nervous about this play was because it was the same plot as that fateful night I left my angel. "But why?" I questioned myself. "What was Erik doing?" "Oh my god..." I breathed... They both knew and now I knew what they were going to do.
This night will change all of Paris... It will not just be a play; it will be a Revolution... the final battle in the war of Love.
