Underline italics Joel and Amshel singing
Bold underline italics, Solomon, Amshel, and Joel singing together
We have all been clueless
When the evidence has been before us
There is a way to ensnare our clever friend
How?
We're listening
Go on
We will play his game
Perform his work
But remember
We have the upper hand
For if Saya is to sing his song
He is certain to sing along
We are certain Hagi is there
We are certain he is armed
The curtain falls
His reign will end
That was plan. The set was rather rushed but it was good. The rehearsals were put to there maximum limit to assure Phantom's Opera was sung and acted out perfectly. The music was beautiful, as was the stage. The background was painted to a dark star filled night with no moon. A willow tree was amid of the stage below a bridge that was connected to two spiral staircases; one at each end. The costumes were all black with really no distinction on style.
Except for Saya, who dressed in a gown that looked somewhat monk-like, but it showed off her shoulders and was black. The make-up she had to wear was a white face paint to pale her skin further. Around her eyes, blue eye-powder was brushed and red face paint trailed down from her eyes to her cheeks to make her look like she was crying crimson. Her hair was pulled back into a French-braid. She was to hold a blue rose and play the female lead; Selenea. Unlike, all the other girls.
Hagi was woken to hide on the stage to stab Phantom when the time was right, Saya had to make sure Phantom's attention was on her. Solomon would sit in the booth closest to the stage to assure that if Phantom tried to leap off stage he would not escape. The plan was tight.
And it seemed that night of the performance...Came too soon.
Solomon found Saya in the attic alone, she was trying her best not to cry. Solomon approached her, trying not to provoke more tears.
"Solomon, I'm frightened," Saya said softly. She stood up and looked at Solomon, he saw the distress in her expression. Solomon took her hand and smiled; trying to solace her.
"Don't worry Saya, I promise that he will not live to harm you," Solomon said. Saya hugged him desperately.
"I'm not afraid that he'll hurt me, I'm afraid he'll hurt you. If he's as clever as we know he'll find a way to evade Hagi and take me away. He won't let me go. And then he'll kill you," Saya whimpered. She ended the embrace and began to walk toward the attic window.
He'll always be there singing songs in my head
He'll keep playing tricks with the music in my head
Solomon touched her shoulder, Saya looked at him pitifully.
You said that he was just as weak as any other
If we don't take him down tonight he'll haunt us forever
You don't understand
I've already lost my life to him to live
I fear that if I betray the man who sculpted my voice
He'll win
Oh God I wish I could run
If I could
He kills all that's beautiful
He murders on pure impulse
I know I can't deny him
Oh heaven knows I wish I could
Oh God,
What terror beckons me on that stage
While I sing Phantom's Opera
Solomon hugged her and rubbed her back, his breath flowed through her hair
Saya,
Don't be afraid
He won't hurt you anymore
I am here to deliver you
To grant you rapture and free you
Saya looked up at him and smiled sadly.
"If he takes me away...I want you to know where his lair is," Saya began.
Sing for me my angel
Tonight
I regret having to cut our duet short
But this fantasy grows insipid
Open the doors
Let the audience in
Let my Opera begin!
He flew from his lair and soon landed on the Opera House roof. Tonight he would make Saya his forever.
