Chapter 5 Replacing Carlotta
Sorry I have to add a bit of a twist kind of goes against the summery but it will all get back to normal just read. :D

Down on the stage there was a swirl, masses of choirgirls and the managers, people that where even unfamiliar to them. Erik and Alexandria leaned against the railing of the high balcony, where if in the right spot the chandelier would hide them well enough.
“We need a replacement for Carlotta.” The mangers spoke up, “But we need someone who has the same power in her voice.”
“Like there going to find a voice like that anywhere else.” Alexandria commented in a laugh to Erik who laughed with her. “God it was horrible.” They continued to watch as many tried to sing and catch the mangers liking for the new opera that was in the making.
“There not all that bad.” Erik stated as one after the other tried.
“Well now it seems that we have to cancel this opera for there is no one who can replace la Carlotta!” One of the managers yelled. Alexandria was glad about that now they could have some quiet without the entire racket of the stagehands above them when they sleep.
“Christine can sing it sir.” Madam Giry spoke up.
“A choir girl?” they questioned it. They watched as Christine walked to the center of the stage and began to sing Think of Me from the third act of Hannibal. Erik seemed to straighten when she sang. Alexandria narrowed her eyes and watched Erik’s reactions. It seemed that he was enjoying it, but there was something else. Alexandria could see it in his eyes; she ignored it for a moment and hoped that it was nothing but a liking. Alexandria looked down to see her brother come out to watch. Alexandria noticed the Erik had moved obviously to get a better view. Christine had caught his gaze and they stared at each other. Alexandria was confused; did they already have a connection or what?
“Wonderful!” everyone applauded for Christine, “Where did she learn to sing like that?”
“She has been well taught by an extraordinary musician.” Madam Giry spoke for the side of the stage.
“Is he here in the opera house at this moment?” The managers asked.
“Yes sir, he has always been here.” Alexandria gasped at the sound of this, looked down, and then over at Erik who caught her gaze. Alexandria left the balcony and ran down many of the corridors before she reached the stage entrance but she stopped.
“I can’t.” She said aloud to her self, “I can’t match it.” Alexandria sobbed, he betrayed her for another.
“Alexandria.” Alexandria turned to see her brother walking over to her.
“James.” Alexandria sobbed and caught her brother of guard when she launched herself into his arms. James rapped his arms around her.
“What’s wrong?” James brought her to sit in a near by chair. James knelt in front of her.
“Can you ever forgive me?” James gave her a puzzled look.
“What for, Alexandria?” James asked.
“I’ve lied to you, I lied about everything.” Alexandria held back the sobs that tried to come.
“What about Alexandria?” James grasped her hands in his and looked her straight into her eyes. He wanted to know the truth. Alexandria felt an uneasy presence; she knew he was there but where? Alexandria shook her head.
“I . . .” Alexandria tried to speak but that feeling washed over her. As if she had just walked over her own grave, it sent chills down her spine. “I . . . Can’t” Alexandria cringed in her seat. “I must go, he’ll be waiting.” Alexandria stood from her seat and started to walked away from her brother.
“Who?” James asked as he stood, and watched her walk away.
“The angle of music.” Alexandria whispered back and continued down the long narrow corridor. Alexandria climbed many flights of stairs until she reached the roof of the opera house. The door to the roof slammed open and she walked out into the snowy atmosphere. Alexandria took a breath and looked out over the city. She knelt down next down a statue of one of the many equestrians that were scattered about the roof, and relaxed back against it.
“…There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over, and over again….”
Alexandria sang softly to herself.
“..To be only yours I pray
To be only yours…”
Alexandria place her hands in her head and cried herself to sleep against the statue.

Back down on the stage the mangers had announced that Christine was the star for the opera Hannibal. All the stagehands and choirgirls cheered and were glad to see that the opera would continue without any delay. They all began to rehearse the songs and dances for the opera. Erik had stood in his place watching Christine, he had not notice that Alexandria had left. Erik watched on until Christine left and he soon to retired to his home.
The opera was to be preformed in a couple of days and he would be there no matter what. As he started down the steps to his home he wondered is Alexandria had gone down. He entered through the mirror, looked around, and noticed that she had not come back. Did she know? On the other hand, did she suspect? Erik was just Christine’s teacher. Or was he creating it to be something more. Erik had never heard a voice like Christine’s. “Wait” He thought to himself and looked around. Alexandria had the voice but he knew she would never sing his songs.
However, Alexandria had sung his songs. Erik washed it from his thoughts.
Erik had begun to teach Christine more every night as the days got shorter and passed. Soon it was the eve of the opera. Erik had done his job, he had give Christine her voice.
She would show the world her true talent.
Erik only hoped that it would not cause an outburst from Alexandria for it could coast Christine her life if Alexandria was pushed to it.
