Omg thanks so much everyone for your great reviews! I got on two people favorites and I have one follower but hey it's a step up! Please remember to review! Thanks!
"Are you hungry?" He said almost nervously.
"What?" I asked almost dazed. This is the man who was yelling at me a moment ago! He must have horrible mood swings to be hospitable all of a sudden.
"Are you hungry? I have some food, not much though. I think.."
"N-no." I said before he could finish. I turned around and walked into the room. His presence lingered for a moment, and then he was gone.
I sighed and looked around the room. It was quiet beautiful. There was a swan bed with warm, red velvet blankets atop it. I turned and saw a vanity near the closet. I stared at it for a moment, looking at the very detailed engraved flowers and birds.
A minute passed before I heard the organ being played, that same organ that emitted so much energy and passion from it. My eyes were then locked on a writing desk nearby. I walked slowly toward it and sat down in its chair. I looked at the objects on the desk. There was some parchment and an ink bottle; there was also a beautiful quill pen that lay near it. I picked up the pen and grabbed some parchment. I dabbed the lovely pen into the ink and began to write.
My dearest Raoul,
My sudden disappearance will most likely be known to you tomarrow morning. Please do not fret about me mon Cherie, I am perfectly fine. I do not know when I will be back, but for now all is fine. Please do not look for me, and if the role of Elissa is to be changed make sure Christine Daae gets it.
Good-bye my love,
Emilia
I read and re-read my words then folded the parchment and set it aside. I grabbed another piece and began to write again.
Dear Papa,
I am all right, do not fear for me, for I will return soon. I am staying with a friend for now. I may not be able to play Elissa, please listen to Raoul for the instructions on who to cast for the role. I will see you soon, but not soon enough I fear.
Emilia
I set down my pen and stared at the letter. I dare not place these in an envelope and seal them for the man may think I am asking for help, to be rescued. If he thought that then I would see his temper again no doubt. I stood, taking both letters in hand, and walked to the two Persian curtains that acted as a door.
I peered out of them at the man still playing the organ. I stepped out of the room and cleared my throat. The man turned to face me, as he did this I walked toward him.
"What?" The man asked starring at the papers in my hand.
"I wish for you to send these." I stated firmly. His hands fell from the keys on the organ as he stood. He walked carefully toward me, closing the gap between us greatly. He looked at the papers then at me, with his deep, topaz blue eyes. I almost felt myself tingle as his gaze made me feel as if the world was staring at me. He made me feel so little and helpless, like a lost child looking for its mother.
"You wish for me to send these." He repeated, "Let me take a look." He said as I handed him the papers. He opened them and stared blankly for a moment at the one addressed to my father. Then he took a look at the one for Raoul. When he finished reading he turned to me. He seemed utterly astonished.
I gave him a puzzled look. "What is the matter?" I asked.
"Y-you said here that, well you w-want." He stuttered. Realizing he did this he stopped to clear his throat. "You want Miss Daae to replace you?" He said. I almost chuckled from the amusing site before me, for he was utterly baffled.
"Yes." I said plainly. He stared for a moment and looked away.
Erik's POV
I could not believe she wanted Christine to take her place if she did not return in time. I thought most young rich children would try to get back as soon as possible to become the lead singer.
"Yes." She stated. I stared at her and she slightly smiled. She was a beautiful girl, perhaps though she wasn't a girl. She seemed to be about seventeen or eighteen she was a young women. Realizing I was starring I turned and walked back to my organ.
"I will deliver these tomorrow." I told her, "That will be your first, test of trust. I suppose that if you are still here when I come back then perhaps you may practice for the role. But," I said making sure she heard me, "If you are gone, I will find you. And you will be sorry." She nodded her head in understanding and turned to leave.
"If I am here when you return may I visit Papa soon?" She asked as she turned back to me. "I just know he will be worried sick, if I can reassure him that I am fine, perhaps he won't worry so."
"I will consider it." I said turning to her. She curtsied and headed back to her room.
What an extraordinary girl. My mind said to itself.
