THE UNMASKING
Disclaimer: since I
forgot to put up one before pouts I don’t own phantom of the
opera. But I reallyyyyyyyyyy wish I did. A/n- I know I haven’t
updated in forever. I went to camp for a month and my muse left me.
But it’s come back to me and I am back and ready to write. I hope
you guys like this one. Erik: After Christine had
her bath and changed into one of the dresses I had gotten for her I
led her up to the surface. At one point she asked how she would get
the lead. I just smiled and promised her she would and learning the
songs from I’Muto would not be in vain. Then I went back down to my
lair and wrote a letter to Carlotta that should scare her into not
performing the lead. Then I wrote a letter to the fools who run my
theater informing them of what to do. After I saw that the letters
were delivered I watched the managers talking and calling ME insane.
then I was forced to watch when that toad come back and call herself
unwanted and amazingly those idiots groveled before her and said SHE
that nasty women take lead and my darling Christine having to play
the SILENT role. And this happened to be RIGHT AFTER they read my
letter. I can thank Madame Giry for trying to help but to no avail.
So I decide I’ll make Carlotta sound like a toad onstage tonight.
Then Christine will take her place and Carlotta will be so ashamed
that hopefully she’ll go back to where she came from and never
bother me again. Christine: As I wake up from my
nap Madame Giry walks in looking forlorn. “What’s happened,”
I ask dreading the answer. “Carlotta’s come
back. She will be playing the lead. He will do something terrible
tonight I can feel it.” ‘You mean the phantom
of the opera.” “Yes, I have a
feeling you shall take over in Carlotta’s place also knowing him.” “You really think
so!” I say astonished but then I realize Erik made Carlotta leave
the first time with the backdrop. “My dear you
need to get into costume.” Says Madame Giry helping me get up and
get ready. Erik: I wait silently until
Carlotta drink for her throat has been placed out then I switch it
with mine. I watch Christine talking with her friend Meg. Her smile
always made me forgot all my problems for a moment .tonight was no
exception. But then I remembered that I have to get to the top of the
opera house by the chandelier. I quickly and stealth fully make my
way up to the hallway to watch Carlotta and wait .then I see that the
vicomte is in MY box. So I project my voice saying: “Did I not instruct
that box five be kept empty?” I hear the murmuring in the audience
and I see the frightened faces of my managers and the vicomte. But
then I looked back down at the stage. Christine must have said
something because I heard Carlotta say “Quiet you little
toad.” I muttered aloud “Perhaps you are the
toad.” I watched Carlotta’s servant give some of Carlotta her
throat spray.” Carlotta tried singing again until she croaked. I
couldn’t help but laugh. Then after Carlotta left Andre and Firman
took the stage and told everyone that Christine would indeed play the
role of countess and that they would do the ballet from act 3 while
waiting. Christine: I was amazed. Erik
kept his promise and now I was to play the countess. Madame Giry
hurried me to my dressing room to get dressed. After I had my
costume on I went out to the backstage area here I could here the
ballet still performing. All the sudden I felt someone pull me to a
dark corner. I tried to scream but they put their hand over my mouth. “Christine is this
how you greet your teacher.” “Erik, I did not
know it was you,” I said quietly. “I wanted to wish you
good luck tonight and I am asking you to meet me on the roof after
the performance,” said the phantom as he let go of me and slightly
pushed me back towards the backstage area. “Thank you. I
will,” I said before I went next to the stage out of sight until I
was to go up. Erik: After my confrontation
with Christine in the hallway I watched her performance noticing her
little mistakes but thankfully there were few. As the show finished I
made my way up to the roof top to wait. Not a half an hour
later she comes through the door. “There were so many
people it took me 10 minutes just to get to my dressing room, and
then I changed as quickly as possible.” I laughed. “What did you
expect? You’re public to leave you alone. They love you.” I said
as I thought about how much I loved Christine. But I am not sure I
can tell her yet. She Might leave me. I quickly push the thought away
and ask my angel: “Isn’t the view
beautiful?” “Yes, it is as
beautiful as the first time I saw it. I believe it was the first year
I was here.” She turned to me “When was the first
time you saw the view from here?” I purge my thoughts for a
moment. “I believe it was
in the first year I was here too. I remember climbing one of the
statues too. I felt like I was on top of the world.” Christine
smiled at me. Then she asked with a childlike curiosity “Why did you ask
me tonight?” “I wanted to ask if
you wanted to stay with me.” Her eyes lighted up and she put her
arms around me in an embrace. I carefully put my arms around her and
said “I’ll take that
as a yes.” Christine let go and said: “Of course but what
about everyone else, won’t they be skeptical of where I went?” “don’t worry my
child I will take care of everything.”
