The Phantom was greatly pleased with Margaret's performance. She was outstanding. "Bravo!!" He yelled and started clapping.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christine listened to Margaret and the song that she was singing. She smiled lovingly and clapped, also.

Raoul ran to the theater, as he approached he could hear the sound of thunderous clapping. The last time that happened was when Christine performed her first time. Entering the theater, into the box where his wife was, he glanced at the stage. "Margaret." He was astonished, yet angry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Margaret couldn't belive the audiunce. They loved her. The Phantom was right. And through it all she heard him call out. Finally when the curtain closed she ran to her room hoping he was there for he was gone from his box after he shouted his praise. As she entered the room she was met with the welcoming sight of the one she love holding a rose tied with a black ribbon.

Christine smiled at Margaret and then watched as the curtains closed on her. She sat back down in her chair, and looked around. She noticed that Raoul was there. She sighed and looked to the floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Phantom smiled, as Margaret entered the room. "You did an excellent job out there." He then handed her the rose, that he had in his hand.

"Thank you Erik." Margaret took the rose, and as she did took her left hand and grabed the back of the phantoms neck and pulled him into a kiss. After a few seconds she said. "I sang for you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raoul was furious. Ok, so he was going to give the Phantom a chance. he said so last night to Christine after apolgizing. But Margaret singing, of course 'he' was proberly involved. He will not have it. "I am going to have a little discussion with my dear sister." He said and left.

The Phantom smiled and looked into Margaret's eyes. "I'm glad." He told her, softly. He pulled her into a warm embrace and sighed happily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christine heard Raoul's comment and shook her head. She was starting to wonder why The Phantom bothered him so much.

Margaret snuggled into the Phantom's embrace. "There is going to be a Mascarade a week from now." She said shyly. "I want you to be there."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raoul was on his way when Madame Giry stopped him.

((Now would be a good time for Margaret to see the Phantoms true face, right?))

((Yeah.))

The Phantom sighed and looked to the ground. "Are you sure you want me to? I mean... If you've seen my face, you might change your mind."

Margaret looked up at him. "How can I judge if I haven't seen it?" She placed a hand on his mask. "May I?" She smiled kindly. "I won't, If you don't wish me too."

The Phantom looked deeply into Margaret's eyes and let her take off the mask. He sighed and looked to the ground.

Margaret looked at his face. "Erik." She didn't know what to say. The only thing she could do was to touch the side that was no longer hidden, and then she kissed him. After a few seconds she stopped and hugged him whispering. "You are no longer alone my handsome Angel." As she did she felt tears fall onto her shoulder.

The Phantom was crying, due to Margaret's words. He never expected that she would love him for him. He sighed deeply and looked into her eyes, lovingly.

Margaret hugged the phantom as he cried, soothing him like a mother would a child. But she stopped when she heard knocking. "Margaret, are you in there?" Came Raouls voice, she tensed up. "Margaret, we need to talk." "In a second." She called back. She gave the phantom his mask back. "Hide behind the mirror." She whispered to him.

The Phantom nodded and quickly walked over behind the mirror. He sighed and stood as still as possible.

As soon as the phantom was behind the mirror Margaret let Raoul in. But instead of entering fully, Raoul just said. "Lets go to the roof to talk." and he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room. As she left she looked back at the mirror, back to the phantom. Soon they were almost on the roof. Raoul opened the door and let Margaret go first. As she did so he said. "Margaret, I am so sorry." She turned to her brother, not expecting such an apology. "For what Raoul?" She had to know. "For this." And he then closed the door and locked it as he returned to the theater below. All the while Margaret had rushed to the door and banged on it. It was freezing outside. Finally after what seemed like hours, she collapsed in sobs.

((I came up with this, in tune with Angel of Music.))
~Silence is all that I hear now,
Far from my lovers voice.
Silent is the cold winter,
Caressing my skin.

Brother why have you brought me,
To a place of death.
Brother why have you brought me,
To this cold place.

Shall I ever forgive?
He who helped me grow.
Shall I ever forgive . . .?~

For the few hours she was traped on the roof, she tried to stay warm, which was har because she was still in costume and had no time to grab a cloak. By what seemed to be hour 4, she had finally fainted. She was dizzy and felt hot. And soon through her blurred vision she finally saw the door to the roof open. And as she closed her eyes she could here the voice of her Angel of Music. "Erik." She could barely say his name.

((Just so you know, her syptoms are a high fever, pale and sweaty. I will play a doctor if needed. She won't die but it will be close. Also Amara, could you do a bit from when she left to when she was found for the Phantoms thoughts and actions before you continue with what he does after.))
