Music Was His First Love!

Prologue

It had been nearly a full year since the disaster at the newly renovated Opera Populaire. Christine de Chagny was married now to the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny and she was four months pregnant with his child. Christine and Raoul couldn't have been happier. But Christine thought there was something missing in her life now. Music!

Christine had just awoken from a nearly sleepless night because of the baby kicking. She rolled onto her side to get comfortable and snuggled into her husband's chest.

"Christine, are you alright?" Raoul asked, sensing some discomfort.

"I am just uncomfortable," she said, sliding her arm around his stomach. Raoul entwined his fingers with Christine's.

"It's ok. When you have the baby, there will be no more discomfort for you. I will be as devoted a father as possible," Raoul said. Christine smiled at her husband and kissed him gently. She looked deep into his eyes and smiled. But her thoughts lay with another man.

Deep in the depths of the Opera Populaire lay the home of the Phantom of the Opera, ghost, demon, and haunting spirit. A man who thought the love of a woman was all he needed. But it turned out that that woman loved another man, which shattered his heart. And he had never been the same.

For a few months after the disaster of Don Juan Triumphant, Erik had sat in the secluded darkness of his home, barely eating or drinking. He barely changed his clothes or washed. He had started to grow some facial hair as he had not shaven in a couple of months. He would just sit in a corner or at his organ, not daring to play anything, but nearly drowning himself in his own tears. But eventually he was found by Madam Giry, a close friend of his. She saw the mess he was in and knew that he needed help. So she, and her daughter Meg, vowed to get him back on his feet.

After a few more months, Erik was more like his old self again. But he had plans to renew the opera with the help of Madam Giry and Meg.

Then after nearly a full year, Erik was living happily in his lair with Meg, his fiancée by this time, and with Madam Giry living in the Opera dormitories as Erik was now the Opera Manager. But he continued to write music and opera's for the new employees to put on stage. Even though Erik was happy, little did he know that Christine Daae, now de Chagny, was thinking about him?

I know that was kind of short but it is only my prologue.
