You may have heard the tale of The Phantom of the Opera, about a man who lived below the Opera House, of how he fell in love with a beautiful singer and how she left him for another man. Yes, the tale of the Phantom has been told many times before, in many different ways, and has ended in as many different ways. But what really happened? Who was the Phantom under the mask and cold words? The tale you are about to here is about two girls who met a young boy as he ran from troughs who would have him dead. Be aware that this is no story to view with a light heart, this is not a Child's tale told at bedtime to give good dreams. I welcome you to the true story of The Phantom of the Opera.
A Little Past: As we start there are two girls who live at the Opera House, one is Anna. She is shy, has silver eyes and black hair. She wants to sing, but can only get so far on her own. She has lived at the Opera House her whole life, saw was born there but none know her mother or father. Her friend at the Opera House is Annie. Annie is blond with blue eyes. When she was just a baby the people at the Opera House found her out side the door with only a doll. The two of them become friends with the young Madame Lissa Giry. One day Lissa brings a strange boy to the Opera House. At the time Annie is five, Anna is seven, Lissa is 10 and, the boy is seven. Annie is pestering him for his name. Finally to make her stop he tells her it is Erik. That is what his name becomes from then on. Erik does not know Anna yet because she is in the shadows watching. Lissa must go get food and leaves Annie with Erik and unknowingly with Anna. Anna sees Erik staring off over the lake and muttering about it might be nice over there for a home. Anna goes and gets wood to make a boat, she all so leaves a new mask for Erik. All Erik sees as he picks up the mask is a dark shadow walking off. Lissa comes back and sees the wood and mask and asks who left it. Erik tells her a dark shadow did. Annie says, "I know who the dark shadow is, I know!" They ask who but she does not tell them. The next day Lissa and Annie go back. Lissa has food for Erik. Both see that Erik is about half way done with the boat. Annie starts asking about Erik's mask and what is under it. Erik does not want her to know and says that if she is good and stops asking he well show her later. She stops and says ok she goes quite. At that time Lissa has to leave for ballet class. Anna comes down and Erik yells out, "It's the dark shadow!" Anna nods and starts to help Erik with the rest of the boat. Lissa comes back an hour later to get Annie for her class. They both leave. Soon after Erik and Anna finish the boat, Erik goes over to check out the other bank. He comes back and tells Anna about it. After that Anna leaves to go her class. Annie comes back crying and sad. Erik knew not what to do and asks what is wrong. She tells him that at class she wanted to hold her doll, they yelled at her and made her put it down. The she, after class, went to Lissa but Lissa was busy with helping fix costumes for the night’s gala and says to Annie to go away unless she helps. But Annie is too young to help so she went to Erik. Erik had his hand on Annie shoulder and is unaware of what to do. Then Annie hugs him, he it shocked. At this time Anna and Lissa come back down. Lissa had food and they all eat. The next day they go back and help and start to help Erik make his lair. They all have a few weeks off before they must go back to classes. They spend all the time they can with Erik. At last the lair is done and Erik is stetted. One night Annie and Erik are alone. Erik feels it is time. Annie had said nothing about his mask or what was under it for a long time. He tells her to turn around and close her eyes. Then, feeling as he shouldn’t, he takes the mask off. After a few seconds he says he is ready and Annie looks up at him. Her eyes show no fear or hate, all she asks is if that was all and why he has to hide it. He said it was enough to make others hate him. At this Anna walks in. Erik looks at her and she looked at him. She tells him it is not that bad and he needs not to hide it from them. She goes out to get something. he puts his mask back on. About half a year has past and it is now Christmas. Annie wakes Erik up and tells him it's x-mass. Erik asks what x-mass is and Annie tells him about gifts and the tree and all about x-mass. He follows Annie out of his room. There is a piano in the room for Erik. He asks them how they got it in and why they got it. They say they just got it there and that is what friends do. Then Erik says he has nothing for them so he asks what they wanted. Annie says right out she wants to play the piano. Lissa wants hi mto teach her how to use a Punjab. Anna is shyer about telling him. Finley he gets it out of her. She wants to sing, wants him to teach her. She has been trying to teach herself, but can get no farther. So it went on like that for eight years. Annie is now thirteen, Anna and Erik are fifteen and Lissa is eighteen. Lissa was planning to leave for a job in London the next day. Anna, Annie and, Erik are all sad that Lissa was leavening, but she said she would be back. Nothing happens in the years Lissa is gone. She comes back two years later. She is pregnant with a child, who would later be known as Meg, and has Christine with her. Christine is eight years old, seven years younger than Annie was. When Annie saw Christine it was hate for the young girl right off. Anna asked Lissa about the farther to the child she was bearing. Lissa tells then she was married with him but after she got pregnant he died of a quick working cancer. After that she came back here, stopping to get Christine whose father had just died. Anna saw that Annie did not like Christine and Christine the same for Annie. A few weeks after Lissa got back got back, all four of them where in the lair and Erik proposed to Annie. Annie was so happy you could see the glow in her eyes. Anna showed happiness but was she really happy for them or was she jealous. But something went wrong. Erik was looking at Christine more and more, and he was giving her singing lessons, as the Angle of Music. One night he took her to the lair. Annie was hurt by this. She and Erik had a fight. The next day, Annie left with out a word. Erik, Lissa and, Anna were all devastated. But they tried to go on with there lives. But none the less, Erik and Anna grew apart. Neither saw each other.
