I am so sorry. I totally spelled Daae wrong in chapter one. I'll do it right now. Though Christine goes by Estelle to hide, it will still be said as Christine said, etc. But Estelle and Christine are the same person.
Christine Daae and the Phantom had taken off. They were unaware of Raoul coming, but Phantom suspected it. He was a smart man. They had found a Opera House, where they would hide. Christine would go by a different name, Phantom would hide. Christine Daae had now picked up the name Estelle Phantom. Many people found it mysterious.
"Estelle? Have you ever had an opera experience?" They asked.
"Yes, sir. I was a ballerina. I wish to try to sing though, sir." The opera owner nodded.
"As well." He said.
"Think of me
Think of me fondly
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me
every so often,
promise me you'll try.
On that day,
that not so distant day
when you were far away and free.
If you ever find a moment
spare a thought for me.
And though it's clear,
though it was always clear,
that this was never meant to be.
If you happen to remember
stop and think of me."
Christine just sung the first part. She sang only a bit, but it was enough. This was not like The Opera Popular. It was not big. The Opera owner had stood up.
"Bravo!" He yelled clapping.
"She cannot have the part!" A voice stormed. "I have been working for months and she doesn't even know it! You cannot just give it to her like that!" The girl snapped her fingers at the 'at that' part.
"Why, yes I can mademoiselle." The Opera owner spoke with power. "I am the owner, and runner. I say Estelle Phantom has the main part. Sorry to inform you but she is...by far...a way better singer than you."
With this the now no longer lead singer stomped away. She had been replaced by Christine Daae. Phantom watched from above. He was pleased. Christine was reminded of Carlotta. She missed the Opera Popular. Christine Daae would make this opera house number one in France. And she would do it by the name of Estelle Phantom, not Christine Daae.
