The Phantom of the Opera 2
In sleep he sang to me...In dreams he came...That voice which calls me...And speaks my name...
Chapter 4:
Christian could se her. The girl that had the voice of an angel. But now, she wore no mask. Her hair was a dark red that shimmered bright red. and her skin was pearl white. Her eyes where blue, and lost in thought. She was humming a low tune which grew higher and higher. Suddenly, she was singing.
Stay low
Soft, dark, and dreamless
Far beneath my
Nightmares and loneliness
I hate me
For breathing without you
I don't want to
Feel anymore for you
She moved herself from the chair and to the portraits on the wall. He saw it was a man, wearing a mask, no, the same mask she had worn. She took one off the wall.
Grieving for you
I'm not grieving for you
Nothing real love
Can't undo
And though I may
Have lost my way
All the paths
Lead straight to you
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground
Like you
She laid the portrait on a table and went to the table that held wood figurines. She held one in her hand caressing it.
Hay low
Blinding wall between us
Melt away dear
Leave us alone again
Humming
Haunted somewhere out there
I believe our
Love can see
us through
In death
The girl placed the figurine back down. She ran a hand through her hair.
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground
Like you
There's room
Inside for two
And I'm not
Grieving for you
I'm calling
For you
She took off the velvet cloak letting it fall to the floor. He could see the dress was dark red, adorned by roses. It was tightly fitted flowing out at the end.
You're not alone
No matter what
They've told you
You're not alone
I'll be right
Beside you
Forever more
I long to be like you
Dad
Lie cold in the ground
like you dad
there's room inside for two
And Im not grieving for you
And as we lay in silent bliss
I know you'll remember me
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground
Like you
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you
I'm calling for you
Christian couldn't believe it. He wanted more than anything to understand her sadness. So mich that he forgot the position he was in. When she turned around he had fallen back into the lake. After his eyes cleared and his head rose, he saw her standing where he had been. He then realized what he'd forgotten. He was in a lair, he knew nothnig about her, and no one knew where he was.
"Who are you?", he asked. "I think that's none or your concern, Christian," She said, "You shouldn't be here." "Why?", he asked. "Because this is my private home. And you are not welcome!" "How do you know my name?" "Rachelle talks about you." "How do you know Rachelle? What is this place?" "This is the place my father built by his genious. Your sister came to the sanctuary within the Opera House and she heard me there. She's never seen me. But she speaks with me, expressing ger worry for you. She trusts me."
Cheistian had so many questions. "Where did you learn to sing so beautifully?" "My father was the one who gave me lessons." "Can you teach me?" There was a pause. "You have to go." "Wait! Why?!" "You must go!," she demanded pushing him into the boat. But he grabbed her wrist. "Miss...I have taken lessons from professors about what they consider is music. But they have no magic in their teachings. I want that magic, so please..." It seemed like forever as they stared each other down. But she blinked and nodded. "Two days time Christian. Meet me here...since you know well how to manage to get here. Before sunset, don't be late."
"Thank you," Christian said laughing, "I'll pay you-" "No," she said pushing him off shore, "There is not enough money in the world to teach you what I will." "Well, thank you soo much," Christian repeated. "Oh, by the way," she called after him, "Elysia." "What?," he said. "That is my name, Elysia." "Till sunset in two days then, Elysia," he said. He watcher her behind him, through the mist, until it was too thick to see her.
