I slowly began to wake up, at first my eyes seemed to be glued shut, but then I finally forced them open, because I just realized I was in a bed and not on a gym floor. I blinked away the blurriness and got a look at my surroundings.

The room I was in was very old fashioned and fancy. Which I normally would have loved, but I had no idea where I was, and that kind of freaked me out.

Then the door opened and a woman walked in. It took all of my strength not to gasp when I realized that the woman was Madame Giry from Phantom of the Opera, which I really should have realized immediately, but since I was still half asleep, it had taken me a few second.

"I see you're finally awake, you were asleep for a few days"

It took me a little while, but I finally managed to force out "Where am I, and where did you find me?" I already knew where I was and didn't really care where they found me, but I knew it would be best to not let them catch on to that.

"You're in the Paris opera house, we found by the entrance."

I nodded

"Do you think I could stay here for a while, I don't really know how I'm going to get home right now."

"I think you will be able to, as long as you're willing to do work here."

"I am" I replied. I really can't sing and I'm only a half decent dancer, so I can't really perform or anything, but in a place this big, I'm pretty sure there's always need for someone to help with cleaning or something.

"good, I'll be right back with a change of clothes for you and then I'll take you to get some food."

She stared at me for a few seconds and then left.

Then I noticed I was still in my prom dress. Although thankfully, someone had removed my shoes, jewelry, and corsage for me. I guess it was better to be transported here in a prom dress than in skinny jeans, or even worse, in the shorts and tank tops I wear for band camp.

She came back with some dresses in different sizes, I was a sucker for long pretty dresses, and I really liked them. "What's your name mademoiselle?" she asked.

"My name's Sarah" talking was getting difficult because my throat was very dry.

"Nice to meet you Sarah" then she gave me undergarments, including a corset, asking if I would need any help. I definitely would.

She left the room so I could get most of the stuff on, I went ahead and put my shoes on too, not knowing if it might be difficult later.

Once she came back in she helped me get the corset laced. Thankfully, she did not lace it extremely tightly and gave me one of the bigger dresses so I wouldn't have to have it too tight. She probably guessed I wasn't used to them because I wasn't wearing one with the dress I had on.

I didn't mind it too much. Honestly, I had wanted to wear a corset for a little while now, to see what it would look like, but I was not looking forward to having to wear one every day.

The dress was nice, it was very nice, it was a shade of blue, more like turquoise, that I really liked. And it wasn't overly fancy. Something I did not want at that particular moment.

She then lead me to a dining area, there were a few people there, but no one I recognized from the movie. Was this the movie? Madame Giry looked like her movie version, but who knows, this might be some combination of versions or something.

I was given some bread, soup, and water. Although I was very hungry, I was glad they did not give me a lot of food, because I probably would have eaten until I had a really bad stomach ache.

Then I was lead back to my room, told to relax, and that someone would come to get me later.

Just as I flopped down on the bed, I noticed something. A red and black duffle bag sitting In a corner. A bag like that was given to every member of my schools marching band when we went to New York City last fall.

I went over, it was definitely my bag. It had the piece of ribbon I had tied onto it on the zipper. Opening it, I saw some things that made me very happy. Inside was my phone, my earbuds, some crochet hooks and yarn, my bible, and my copies of the hobbit and the great Gatsby. A toothbrush and toothpaste, my evenstar necklace, my journal, and several boxes of orange tic tacs.

Needless to say, I was very happy.

There was also a piece of paper stuck to the bag.

Sarah,

You are probably very confused right now, but you are hear for a reason. Hopefully you will be able to figure out that reason for yourself. All of this stuff should make things a little less stressful for you. Just put your phone back in the bag at night and it will be charged the next morning.

As for your family, to them you are passed out on your bed in your house. Don't worry about them thinking you're in a coma, they think you just got hit in the head after the power went out. And to them, you won't be out for long. Lots of time can pass here and it will seem like very little time there. Kind of like in Chronicles of Narnia.

Best wishes and good luck,

You're guide.

Ok, now I was really confused.

Hey look, I updated a lot sooner than I thought I would. Also, I was reading through the last two chapters and I noticed some typos and grammar errors. So I am going to try to go through and fix those. The next update probably won't be until next weekend. I have my algebra 2 EOC test coming up on Friday, and my week Is going to mainly consist of studying, praying, and sobbing.
