Chapter 6:

Elysia leaned against the silk pillow. How had it become so complicated? Why dod she day yes? She growled, sitting up. Tomrrow, he would come for his 'lesson'.

She had to admit, Christian was very handsome. But she knew she couldn't have feelings for him. He was embrced by light and she'd always dwell in the shadows. She ran her hand over the silk sheets, grabbing it between her index finger and thumb. She rubbed it in circles, examining it. It was deep red which stretched from different hughes as something moved it.

She released it, getting out of the bed. She sighed in a deep breath. She looked to her side table, at the music bos her father had given her. It was gold with a rose on top. SHe wound it up, and it opened. There was three couples dancing, to the melody of the music box. She sang with the tune:

We are the lucky ones

We shine like a thousand suns

When all of the color runs together

i'll keep you company

In one glorious harmony

Waltzing with destiny

Forever

She stood and began dancing with the music box. she smiled and contuinued to sing with it.

Dance me into the

night

underneath the full moon shining

So bright

Turning me into the

light

She smiled at her nightgown, silk, like her sheets, only white. She walked to the silk curtains, and looked at the manquin which looked like her. It was wearing a long black dress made of delicate material, convered in sparkle. She ran her hand over the dressm taking in the smooth feel of the amterial.

Time dancers shirling past

I gaze through the looking glass

And feel just beyond my grasp

Is heaven

Sacred Geometry

Where movement is poetry

Visions of you and me

Forever

Elysia smiled and walked through the candle area. The candles were lit, strongly shining in the night.

Dance me into the night

Underneath the full moon shining

so bright

Turning me into the light

Suddenly, she was infront of the mirror. She closed her eyes, imagining herself in a ballroom, with several ballroom dancers. In the crown she was Christian, who's hand streched out to take her own. She saw herself in that black dress, her hair up with a few curls coming down, with white gloves. She grabbed his hand nad they began to dance.

Dance me into the night

underneath the full moon shining

So bright

Let the dark waltz begin

Oh let me wheel

Let me spin

let it take me again

Turnign me into

the light...

Her fantasy faded away as she opened her eyes. "No," she sighed, "I can't feel this way." She turned away from the mirror. Why was she feeling this way? She didn't even know him! She knew his voice, which wouldn't leave her mind, taunting her thoughts.

Elysia sighed, "What do I do?" She loaked up to the portrait of her father., "You would'ne known, wouldn't you?: She had no reply. She sat in the chair, lost in thought. Hecould come and have his lessons, but she would not be forced to love him. She could teach him without having such feelings.

Her mind drifted back to her lessons with her father. She had been singing, with his constant interruption. "Stop your hesitating! Until you let the power of music flow through you, you will not be satisfactory to anyone!" She sighed. Now, she would have to do the same lecturing for Christian.

Perhaps he wouldn't be such a challenge. Maybe he would get it immediately and not need her. She sighed. Wishful thinking couldn't help her, she knew he wou;dn't understand. Not at first.

So on continued the thoughts of the Phantom of the Opera, lost in her mind.
