Chapter 13
2 weeks later…
Police flooded into the Order filling every hall, room, and box.
The Captain of the police force saluted to Reever and Komui. "My men are at every possible exit in this place, they also surround the perimeter outside. Anyone looking suspicious won't be able to get in or leave without us knowing."
"Thank you, Captain." Reever said relaxing a bit from the stress of the Phantom most likely making an appearance.
"Yes Sir." The Captain relaxed and stood guard over Reever and Komui's box seat.

"Are you ready?" Lavi asked as he escorted Kanda from his dressing room.
Kanda was dressed in black pants, a white shirt, and a red drape which was wrapped around his pants, almost looking like a skirt.
"A bit nervous." Kanda revealed as the two came to a stop behind stage.
"Lavi I'm frightened. Don't make me do this. It scares me.
Don't put me through this ordeal by fire.
He'll take me. I know. We'll be parted forever. He won't let me go.
What I once used to dream, I now dread. If he finds me it won't ever end.
And he'll always be there singing songs in my head.
He'll always be there singing songs in my head." Kanda sang.
"You said yourself he was nothing but a man,
Yet while he lives he will haunt us 'til we're dead." Lavi convinced.
"Twisted every way, what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought. He murders all that's good.
I know I can't refuse, and yet I wish I could.
Oh God, if I agree what horrors wait for me, in this, the Phantom's opera?" Kanda freaked out and cuddled into Lavi's arms.
"Kanda, Kanda don't think that I don't care,
But every hope and every prayer rests on you now." Lavi added.
Kanda hugged Lavi.
Lavi kissed Kanda's forehead. "You'll be fine. I'll be watching the whole time, nothing bad will occur while I'm alive." Lavi kissed Kanda again. Lavi stepped back from Kanda and looked him over. "I feel like there is something missing…" Lavi remembered and unpinned the rose which was fastened to his pocket, and clipped it to Kanda's hair.
"Lavi," Kanda grumbled. "I look like a girl with that."
"I think it looks cute." Lavi kissed Kanda's cheek. "Break a leg!"

Allen, already wearing black pants, boots, a white button up shirt; tied a red sash around his waist like a belt.
"Seal my fate tonight. I hate to have to cut the fun short.
But the jokes wearing thin, let the audience in, let my opera begin!" Allen tied on his black mask and threw his cloak over his shoulder, walking out of his chamber room.
