For the third time in as many days, Christine Daaé found herself
following a ghost through the underground reaches of the Paris Opera.
And for the hundredth time, she pondered how her unremarkable life had
come to be filled with ghosts and fallen angels. The Phantom who held her
hand looked exactly as the legends described him: tall, clad in black, his
sweeping cape engulfing him in shadow. The only thing to distinguish him
from the dark itself was the meager light of his lantern and the answering
glow of his white mask. Christine was afraid, of course. Anyone who knew
the stories of the Opera Ghost would be. But she felt many other things
alongside her fear: Curiosity. Pity. Wonder. And, most strangely, familiarity.
The first time she’d entered the Opera Garnier had been confusing,
wondrous, and frightening too.
Three months ago, Christine had arrived in Paris with nothing to her
name after her dismissal from the Conservatory of Music in Rouen. She’d
had no hope, save for an old, foolish promise. Though her father had not
kept up his end of the bargain by sending her an angel to guide her after his
death, Christine had been determined to find her way onto the stage of the
Opera they had dreamed of together. She had found herself lost and soaking
in the stables of said Opera, and a decidedly un-angelic being had taken
interest in her instead.
Christine still didn’t know why the Phantom who now led with a gloved
hand had helped her then. Pity, perhaps? Whatever the reason, he had
steered her into a job in the costume workshop and allowed her shelter in
his theater. She had repaid that charity by loudly and resolutely not
believing the Opera’s ghost stories when she heard them. How foolish she
must have seemed to him: a vagrant girl with no faith challenging the Opera
Ghost aloud to make her believe. She’d been looking for something,
anything, to believe in again after years without the angel her father
promised. Either through pride, charity, or both, the Phantom had obliged
her.
A real ghost had appeared to Christine – or so she had believed –
emerging out of nowhere to resurrect her neglected soul. Later that same
night, she had snuck to the stage to keep her promise to her father. She had
sung and prayed and again, the Ghost had answered. It was on that stage,
when she had first heard his inhumanly beautiful voice, that the Phantom
had become her Angel of Music.
