Erik

I paced throughout church... I was so nervous I felt as though I was going to explode. I saw the young Giry girl, Meg I believe her name is, run down the hall carrying the veil and flowers for Christine... I grabbed a glass of water and sat for a moment.

I wondered if Christine was as nervous as I was... Suddenly I felt something was different... A sudden chill had made its presence known in the air... I thought it was just me because I was so nervous and that the water I was drinking had chilled me, but that theory soon changed. I then saw the young Giry girl run down the hall towards her mother; she had a frantic look on her face. I watched as she told her mother something... She spoke to quietly for me to hear. That signaled me something was wrong.

Her mother gasped, putting her hand to her mouth as she slowly turned and looked at me. Her daughter was at the point of crying.

Madame Giry turned to her, hugged her, and told her something and then her daughter ran off. After her daughter left, Madame Giry slowly walked over to me.

"What has happened?" I asked, the nervousness grew inside me and now it was joined by the horrid feeling, worry.

"Erik... I..." She stammered in her French accent; she then stopped and took a few deep breaths before she continued. "I don't know how to tell you this but..." She looked up at me then; her hands were trembling.

"Just say it... What has happened?" I asked, I felt the anxiety building inside her and me.

"It's Christine... She's... She is missing." She finally said.

Shock over took me. I saw Madame Giry step back as I heard a crash, but I did not pay attention for now I was running... Where I did not know...

The crash I was told was from where I had dropped my glass off water and it had shattered.

Meg

I was terrified and was kicking myself for what I had done. "I shouldn't have left her alone!" I screamed at myself in my mind.

My mother had told me to find Andre' and Firmin and tell them that Christine was missing. She told me that they knew what to do... I stopped for a moment and thought aloud, "How will they know what to do? They barely know how to run an Opera House."

I began running once more, pushing the thought away and soon found myself outside the Opera Populair.

I burst through the doors and ran to their office.

I banged on the office door, not waiting for someone to say come in, I threw the door open. I did not find them. I was about to leave when I noticed a note on their desk.

It had an insignia on it. It was a bullet. It looked like one from a pistol. I slowly opened the letter and read its contents. It looked like it was Andre's handwriting.

To whomever,

We have found him and nursed him back to health. He was near death. We did this so he would take her and kill the demon that lurks in this Opera House.

Please understand we did this only to make things better.

I gasped as I read it, almost dropping the paper... "No it can't be... Oh God." I said. My hands began to shake as I folded it up as best I could and quickly ran back to the church... "Heaven help them. Save them all." I breathed.
