Family History Part 2

"Christine, are you absolutely sure that's the guy from your dreams?" Zoey asked.

"Z, there's no doubt in my mind. That's him." Christine answered, her eyes never leaving the picture.

"Chris, this doesn't make any sense." Zoey said. "I mean, how can you have dreams about past events if you weren't even born yet? If our family history is somehow connected to each other, the answer is in the journals of our ancestors."

"I'll get my family journals from my room while you look through your family journals." Christine said, as she gotten up and went down the hall.

Christine went into her room and went to the dresser. She pulled out the bottom drawer out and took out three old looking journals. Christine came back into the living room and sat back down next to Zoey, who was still looking through the journals.

"Well, here they are. My family's journals." Christine said, handing the journals to Zoey.

Zoey took the journals, opened the one that was on top and look through it. Then she opened the second journal and her eyes went wide as she let out a gasp.

"Z, what's wrong? Did you find something? Is it something bad?" Christine asked.

"Chris, look at the inside cover and tell me what you see." Zoey replied, handing Christine back the second journal.

Christine took the journal ad looked at the inside cover. Christine's eyes went as wide as Zoey's.

"Z, the owner of this journal was… Christine Daaé." Christine said, while looking through the journal. "But, I don't understand. How could a fictional character from The Phantom of the Opera story be real and I'm related to her?"

"Maybe that story isn't just a story." Zoey suggested.

Christine started looking through the journal some more, when an envelope suddenly fell out.

"What's this?" Christine asked, picking up the envelope.

"Whatever it is, it must be for you, because that's your mom's handwriting." Zoey answered, looking at the envelope more closely.

Christine handed Zoey the journal back and opened the envelope. Inside the envelope were a letter and three pictures. When Christine took out the photos, her eyes went wide again. Zoey leaned over and saw the pictures.

"Chris, is it my imagination, or do those three women look exactly like you?" Zoey asked.

"They do look like me, but look at the names and dates." Christine said. "Christine Bellamonte: 1429-1462, Vicomtess Christine Daaé de Chagny: 1854-1917, and Christine Delisle: 1870-1888."

"But the last two Christines birth and death dates don't add up if they're descendants because in the Phantom of the Opera story, Christine Daaé was at the opera house when Christine Delisle was born." Zoey said. "Unless… Christine Daaé had a relative that she didn't know about."

"There's only one way to find out." Christine said, taking out the letter and opening it.

"Well, what does it say?" Zoey asked.

"To my dearest daughter Christine, if you are reading this, you now must know the truth. Everything that you know about the Phantom of the Opera story is true. Raoul, the Angel of Music, even the Phantom himself, Erik, it's all true." Christine read. "But what no one knew, not even Christine herself, was that Christine has a sister who lived in Transylvania and she had a daughter named Christine Delisle."

"And that Christine looked like Christine Daaé." Zoey said. "That would explain the dates."

"I guess you were right, Z." Christine replied, as she continues to read the letter. "While growing up, Christine Delisle met Anna and Velkan Valerious, the ancestors and lookalikes of your friends Zoey and Zelos Valentine. Throughout the years, Christine became very close to the Valerious Family. So close, that she was almost one of the family. To Velkan, she was like a sister to him and to Anna, Christine was not only a sister to her, she was her best friend."

"That would explain the family connection. What are the odds that our ancestors were best friends and look exactly like us? But, it looks like there's more to the letter." Zoey said.

"Christine and Anna were nearly inseparable, like sisters and best friends should be, just like how you and Zoey are. But then one day in 1888, a terrible sickness took Christine away from Anna and her family. Many tears were shed that day; Christine was very well like amongst the people in the village and by the Valerious Family." Christine continued. "I'm so sorry you had to find out like this. I must admit, I was really stunned when I had found out and read the family journals. Even your father was more stunned than I was when I told him. If you want to know more about any of this or your family history and secrets, your father and I will do everything we can to help you. Love, Mom."

"Wow, and here I thought my family had hidden secrets." Zoey said, as she looks to Christine. "Are you gonna be alright, Chris?"

"I guess so." Christine sighed. "I just hope that this would explain why I keep having these dreams and hopefully they will stop soon."

"Well, that explains some things to me." Zoey said.

"Explain what, Z?" Christine asked.

"Your family history and you being a descendant of Christine Daaé. It explains why you're such a great dancer and singer." Zoey answered.

Throughout the rest of the day, Christine and Zoey looked through everything of their ancestors' family history. They found everything from Anna and Christine's sisterly friendship to the Valerious Family hunting supernatural monsters. Later on that night, Zoey had went to her room and gone to bed and Christine was in her room, reading her mother's letter over again. Christine stood in front of her wall-length mirror that was hanging on the wall. She was wearing a grey tank top and pink shorts and had her hair in one long braid.

"To think that I look like someone in my dreams and in my family's past." Christine said to herself.

After looking at herself in the mirror, Christine sighed and climbed into bed. Then she put the letter on the nightstand, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
