It was hard to keep her faith in love when so many had let her down, breaking her heart as if it were made of simple glass rather than an organ in her chest. They would take and crush it, throwing her feelings back in her face.
“Strange perhaps, to one innocent of heartache,” she replied. “I only hope you live your life free of the pain that consumes mine.”
𝓘nnocent of heartache? That perhaps she was ––– she had felt pain, real devastating pain that had almost ruined any and all possibility of pursuing her true passion, music. However that pain wasn't related to romantic love at all.
❛ You should know. . . ❜ A warm smile was offered. ❛ . . .That the heart can fall in love more than once. ❜

[The scorpion. His burning eyes were locked upon her dainty hands as they touched upon the figures of Japanese bronze. She’d turned the scorpion. She’d turned it! A perverse joy ripped through his black being. This was a victory, such a grand victory! She was his. Christine was finally his and his alone. Oh, how he had the urge to clap or to dance. The sound of the rushing water beyond the walls of his house only filled him with more excitement. He knew in the room beyond, his problem was being washed away as they spoke, that the vexatious youth that truly held Christine’s heart would drown and be gone for good. And the meddlesome Daroga with him. A case of the wrong place at the wrong time. To hell with the promise he’d spare them.]
“Ah, my dear, you’ve made the perfect choice,” [he let out a little too jovially, patting the turned scorpion. Osseous fingers ghosted over the case that held both figures.] “I promise you, I will make you the happiest of women, Christine. You’ll want for nothing. Oh don’t cry, you know I hate to see you cry. Or are they tears of joy? That would be different. Oh, I’m sure you’ll adore the wedding march I’ve written! And the Kyrie!”
𝓣hose words filled Christine's chest was a strange com– bination ––– one that her body couldn't take making the young soprano fall to her knees ––– pain, crushing, ruthless, that seemed to clasp her poor heart with an unbelievable force; pain that fore– shadowed what the future held for this girl, darkness, eternal darkness and incarceration. However there was also a feeling of relief, it was done. Raoul would be safe, safe from him now that he had her [ oh god, he had her forever ], he'd be able to live a happy life, marry a lovely girl and have a beautiful family. A selfish sob left her throat, not even that thought was able to make her feel better about her own life.
❛ Monsieur de Chagny and, and the Persian, both of them are now safe, are they not? ❜ That question was the only res- ponse Christine was able to elaborate. She needed some kind of affirmation, of reassurance that her sacrifice had been worth it, that Raoul would be safe and sound. ❛ For you promised me, Erik, do not forget. ❜

Sitting, twiddling his thumbs, humming softly – these all
occupied Raoul’s time as he watched and waited and …
no one came to get coffee…
Is it me? Am I a turn-off? I should be smiling and upbeat!
The thoughts reverberated, bouncing off the walls of his mind.
A deep exhale. A check of the watch. A yawn, and a stretch.
It seemed to be that maybe no one really wanted catering when a girl with frizzy red curls approached his dumb little card table. He blinked his eyes several times, trying not to look so darned sleepy, cleared his throat and stood up in readiness.
“Good morning, miss; can I get you something?”
𝓢he smiled broadly, the young man that seemed to be taking care of the little department did seem to be somewhat tired, but then again, who in the building didn't? Christine didn't mind waking up early and she'd had plenty of sleep the night be- fore, h o w e v e r she knew that there weren't many that were as lucky as she was.
❛ Some coffee would be nice, thank you. ❜ The girl replied politely, he seemed to be a nice guy. In all honesty, coffee wasn't all she wanted, she was also quite hungry and even though she could clearly see there was food, she still felt the need to ask. ❛ And is there anything to eat? ❜

“Of course.”
She smiled, holding onto the boxes before
looking about and around her with a curious
note that only ended with her eyes set on the
kind face near her.
“You work at the
opera house?”
- X -
❛ 𝓘 do. ❜ She nodded as she took the boxes from the other woman's hands, the poor kind thing had already done enough. ❛ I'm a chorus girl and a ballerina ––––- however to–- day I'm just running some errands for the Theatre, our regular errand boy has fallen ill. ❜

[The right thing, she’d said. A terrible laugh peeled from his throat. To hell with the right thing. What was right and wrong? A silly little concept that meant so little. No, he did what he felt he had to do. Right… Wrong… They had nothing to do with his intentions.] “Does that matter so, my sweet? Of course it doesn’t. All that matters is what you choose.”
ℋow had everything come to be this way? A quiet voice in her mind spoke to her, telling her that she should have run when she had the chance; and maybe she should have, but she hadn't, and she knew that if she could wind up time she would have chosen to sing for him one last time again. Chris- tine was aware of how foolish she was, but in the end, she'd rather be foolish than cruel –––––- but her foolishness now was beside the point, she couldn't let all those people in the Opera House, Raoul die. But. . . Could she spend the rest of her life with him? Could she bear to live as a slave? Christine shook her head, hopelessly trying to stop the tears from running down her cheeks, she couldn't be this selfish, even. . . Even if it costed her her freedom. With a heavy heart she turned the scorpion, sobbing still.

"Get out, get out, get out, get out!"
"Do you remember anything from last night?"
"Why are you in my bed?"
"I'd offer you breakfast, but I think I'm too sore to move."
"So.. Was it good?"
"Who topped?"
"I thought you'd be gone by the time I woke up..."
"I should go."
"This didn't mean anything."
"We shouldn't have done this..."
"Of course I'm freaking out! You're my friend!"
"I'm guessing this was a one time thing?"
"Yeah, yeah, I know how this goes. I'll grab my clothes and get out of here."
"Good morning, hope you don't mind me borrowing your shirt.."
"I made you coffee, did you want some Aspirin?"
"This stays between us."
"Congratulations. You actually convinced me to sleep with you."
"Are you sneaking out on me?"
"So, how much for last night?"
"Holy shit! she's on her way over here right now, she/he CANNOT see you!"
"Don't answer it!"
"Do you have any idea how wrong this was?"
"We're cheaters. We're horrible people. Oh god my mother would be so ashamed of me right now."
"..Do you wanna do this again sometime, maybe?"

Truly, if Anne had had a free hand, she
would have waved a friendly dismissal in
the other’s direction; instead, she held onto
the boxes and allowed her head to shake
in response. “Nonsense.” She stated,
keeping the grin across her lips. “You
need not apologise, for I would not have
offered the help if I could not spare it.”

𝓒hristine tucked a strand of hair behind her and smiled before starting to pick up the carton boxes. ❛ You're very kind, thank you. ❜

“You cannot lie to me, my darling
for I see all. I know that you went out.
A thousand veils could not disguise your loveliness.
The question, however, is why did you go out?
To see your precious Vicomte, perhaps?”
"𝓘 swear I didn't! Why would I do that? I. . . I wouldn't want to upset you–––––- no! I wouldn't want to see him, no. . .!"

“Well, I guess you should count your stars. Seeing as you
don’t have to.” Managing a small smile, he gave her a light
nod before adding.”I forgot to ask, were you looking for someone?”
❛ 𝓨es, I certainly should. ❜ �� Christine smiled shyly before nodding. ❛ Oh, yes, actually but I'm afraid he must have forgotten about our appointment ––– since I've been waiting for over an hour. ❜

Of course she’d stayed, watching
the other as she perhaps would until she
disappeared around the corner, but obviously
she didn’t get that far; it was all the once-
queen could do before chuckling and nodding
her head, moving to help the other girl without
even a second doubt. “Of course. It’d be my
pleasure.” She said as she took a few of the
boxes that had fallen.
- X -
❛ 𝓣hank you, and I'm sorry, you probably have something more important to do than help someone clumsy pick up boxes. ❜ She gave the other a both apologetic and grateful smile.

“That is all I ask,” [he crooned, trying not to sound too delighted, too earthly. Oh, how devoted she was to him… How happy it made him… It was a struggle to keep his tone in check. But he would indeed be watching, listening, measuring how well he had taught her.] “That and that you give yourself over to the music entirely.” [He couldn’t wait to hear her very soul sprout wings of its own and take flight within the melodies sung by Marguerite should she heed his instruction. Their practice was one thing, a performance was another.]
❛ 𝓞f course, Master, I always do. ❜ Christine had to admit, she was nervous, but most certainly she was as thrilled as a little girl would be in a Christmas morning. Before she could say anymore words, there was a knock on her dressing room's door and a voice could be heard warning that it was time. ❛ I have to go now, I sing for you tonight. ❜
