A/N: I don't own Phantom; I just play with them for my amusement. Sorry for the long wait, didn't have Wi-Fi while on vacation.
Christine's POV:
I was in the middle of a scene with James. It was the scene in the prison, where Faust has come to save Marguerite. I was a little uncomfortable today, Erik was at the practice and I could feel him staring at me the whole time.
It was my part and I started singing. It took all my will power to concentrate on James and the scene and not look over at Erik.
Then it was James's turn and we followed the blocking accordingly.
"No! Stop!" Erik shouted. "James, you need to put more emotion behind it. You've come to save her; to sacrifice yourself for her."
"Okay." James said.
"From Marguerite's part then." He responded.
The music started up and I sang my part. When James was singing his part we were stopped again.
"No! It's still not right. Let me show you." Erik walked onto the stage and took James's place.
I became really nervous then. I took a deep breath and just told myself that I could do it. I wouldn't let this affect me.
I sang my part and led into Faust's. Erik started to sing and I went weak at the knees. His voice was like heaven. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. I could hear the love in his voice; see it in his eyes. Deep down I hoped that this love was for me, not just my character.
We finished and I couldn't believe it. He was brilliant; absolutely brilliant I also knew that I sang better when I sang with him.
"That is how it should be done." Erik was saying to James. "You should feel as if your love for her is consuming you, filling you up completely." He smiled at me. "Especially when you have such a beautiful and talented Marguerite to be singing to."
That made me blush the deepest shade of red. Thankfully that was it for the day and I went to find Meg. If today was any indicator, there was no way that I could simply continue on as if I knew nothing.
That was it. My mind was made up. I would tell Meg, and either she would think I was crazy or she would believe me.
A/N: Sorry this chapter is really short. I just needed this to get to the next part of the story.
