Thank you for Reviewing and I need someone to write me lemons because I suck at writing them since I'm a virgin. I'll give them credit and I wont say that it's mine because people know I can't write them that well. So message me if you want the job. I'll 'advertise' your stories on my profile and stories if you write lemons for me. Please and thank you.
Lemons=sex scene.
Disclaimer: I only own Serena.
I was pacing in my room excited for the masquerade ball tonight. Then I sat on my bed gazing at my ring. Meg came in and looked at what I was looking at. She gasped. "He gave you a ring?"
"Who?" I asked her.
"Richard of course. Everyone believes your courting him." she replied.
"Oh! No. I got this from someone else."
"Who?"
"That's a secret." I whispered smiling.
"Serena!" we heard from outside. I looked out the window and saw Richard.
I groaned. "He won't leave me alone will he?" I asked myself.
"You don't want to see him?" meg asked.
"No. Can you tell him I'm not here. I need to get ready." I asked her.
"Of course. I'll see you at the ball later Serena." she replied and left the room.
I put my mask, dress, and shoes on. Then surrounded my eyes with black make up. I put on clear shimmering lipstick. I powdered my face and added a little glitter. I looked in the mirror and was surprised at what I looked like. A true angel. I smiled and waited awhile before leaving.
When I got there guests were all ready dancing and laughing. But everyone froze when I reached the top of the stairs. I held my head high as everyone gazed at me. There were whispers saying "She's beautiful." and "Who is she?"
I looked around the room and glanced at each costume but my favorite one was the red death. He was gazing at me in wonder. I began down the steps and everyone began to dance again. A man walked up to me in a prince costume.
"Dance with me?" he asked holding out his hand. I curtsied a bit then took it. We danced around the room for a moment before the man in the red death came up and spun the prince out of my hand. "Sir!" the prince cried angrily. "We'll dance later." I said softly before dancing with the man in the red death costume. I still could not recognize him.
Even a little into the dance he was excellent. "You are a wonderful dancer. Do I...know you?" I asked him. As we continued dancing.
"By my works." he stated proudly.
"No that can't be it. Your eyes are so familiar. So sad. I can't stand it. I have to see your face." I said.
"And what will you trade?" he asked spinning me out.
"Everything has it's price doesn't it?" I asked shrugging before he spun me to him careful of my wings. "What do I have to offer?" I asked.
"You show me your identity, angel. And I'll show you mine." he said pulling me over to a secluded place.
"Okay." I replied. I closed my eyes as he reached up and pulled off my mask then he gasped.
"Serena?" he asked surprised. I opened my eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me then shook his head.
"We will have to go back home for you to see my true face." he said than I recognized his voice.
I gasped. "It's you." I smiled and followed him through doors, pathways, and tunnels until we returned to the core of the fortress. Then he let go of me and turned his back on me.
"Promise me you won't scream or run." he said.
"Why would-"
"Promise me!" he shouted.
"I promise."
He turned around and I gasped. I got a look of sadness and walked closer. "Does it hurt?" I asked stroking the side that looked burnt.
He flinched when I touched it so I took it away. "No! I like your touch. It helps the slight pain."
He took my hand and held it to the side of his face. "Aren't you going to run?" he asked. I shook my head no. His brows furrowed. I grabbed his face in my hands and kissed him. He was hesitant than kissed back. He began unzipping my dress but I stopped him because I was feeling...weird.
"I'm sorry." he whispered.
"No it's not you." I began gasping and sweating before my vision began to go black.
"Serena? Are you alright?" he asked but he sounded far away. I tried to use a piece of furniture to hold me up but I missed and I fainted with my vision going black hearing Erik call my name.
When I came to I could hear voices. "You could have killed somebody!" they shouted.
"Sheri?" I whispered as I opened my eyes to see me sister beside me. At first I wondered where I was then I remembered. The audition!
"Out of my way. Move!" someone shouted making his way through the people gathered. I sat up slowly then I saw him. "Who are you?" I asked and he smiled.
"A very relieved admirer. Thought we lost the star of our show for a moment." he replied. Then he helped me up careful of the glass surrounding me.
The man who was listening to me sing before came over introducing him. "This is Mr. Foster. Our producer and director." he said.
Then "Mr. Foster" looked back at me saying, "Well then I guess that makes me authority on how you'll be spending your time for a while." he commented.
I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of him. "I don't understand." I said looking around at everyone.
"Serena. The part is yours." he said. I smiled. "Unless of course you change your mind." he said.
"Don't say another word Seri. I represent Miss Kyle and I don't want her to say or accept anything unless I see some papers." Sheri said. "We'll have it in writing don't you worry. Come over here and..." the man took sheri over with him.
I went over to the piano with Foster. "Are you sure your okay?" he asked.
"I'm a little shaky but I'll be fine." I said reassuring him as he put my coat on around me.
"You look like you could use a drink. Come on. They'll be haggling terms in there for hours." he said leading me away. He took me to his apartment which was very nice and gave me champagne.
"I toast you Serena. You'll have all New York at your feet." he said.
"Thank you." I replied.
"Now. I would like for you to join me in this little dinner I put together for all the other players for this production." he said making me smile.
Then he began walking towards the stairs. "Now if you'll allow me to change I'll show you an evening around town that you will not forget." he finished making me chuckle and nod.
"Okay. Maybe I should freshen up?" I replied as he made his way upstairs.
"No no no no. you're perfect. Just make yourself at home." he said going up the stairs.
I relaxed when he left then looked over to this recording studio type area and looked around. I ran my fingers over the electric piano that was off so it made no sound then came to a paper at the printer. I picked it up and it read don wan triumphant.
"Oh my gosh." I whispered. 'This man has to be Erik.' I thought to myself. I saw a floppy disc with the same name on it and I picked it up taking a deep breath. I put it into the computer and it turned on reading. 'Don Wan Triumphant run sequence.'
Then it began to play and I gasped. It was the same song but I was afraid he would find me in his things so I look to the stairs making sure he wasn't there before looking for a way to turn it off. I turned to the keyboard for the computer and began typing in things hoping to turn off the music. I didn't know he's already come down the stairs.
I finally hit a button that shut it off. I sighed in relief. But gasped and turned when I heard him behind me say. "So! How do you like it?" he asked. He was in this shady type area of the room with wall scenes and curtains.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean-" I began to say but he interrupted me.
"Oh. I knew you'd find it. Love, music. There forever." he said softly walking up to me and into the light smiling.
"You're him aren't you?" I whispered.
He scoffed. "Had you expected someone else?"
"You've always been my inspiration Serena." he whispered putting my head in my hands. "You made it all possible Serena." he whispered making are faces closer. I looked to his lips before back to his amazing green eyes.
"You." he whispered before our lips touched. I leaned into it just giving in and putting my arms around his shoulder pulling him close deepening the kiss. We broke apart.
"What happened that night?" I asked him.
"You fainted than stopped breathing and died in my arms. I waited so long for you to come back. And now you have. Now we can be together again. Forever." he whispered the last part putting the ring back on my finger.
Our lives continued. We rehearsed our own story called 'The Phantom of the Opera'. We continued our relationship in the open. Half a year later I was married to him happily. Now this is our marriage night and honeymoon...
