There Are Dreams That Cannot Be: A Phantom of the Opera Phanfiction [Completed]

Chapter 19 ~ True Love's Kiss

Madame Giry's POV
I listened intently as Katelyn told her story, my heart pounding as I heard the details. I knew that something strange had been going on, but I could never figure out what. I sighed in shock as I stared at her, thoughts racing through my head.

"What is wrong, Madame?" Katelyn asked, concern laced in her tone.

"I-I...I don't know. But, if what you say is true, then I have no idea how Ryleigh will be able to wake up. Even though she loves Erik and he loves her in return, they don't technically 'belong' together, as they were born in different centuries. But...I'm assuming you've heard stories about 'true love's kiss,' have you not?" I replied, thoughts starting to form in my head. If he kissed her...

"Yes, I have Madame. Are you saying what I think you're saying" She asked, a look of awe on her face.

"Yes. I don't know if it will work, but it's the only choice we have"

"Should we go get Erik then? Or do you want me to tell Ryleigh first?" Katelyn asked, and I could feel her excitement and anticipation.

"Why don't you tell Ryleigh, and I will go see if I can find Erik" I replied.

"Of course. I'll be inside" she said, and she cautiously opened the door.

Ryleigh's POV
I saw Katelyn talking to Madame Giry and I knew that something was up, especially when the former practically ran into the room with a huge smile on her face.

"What on Earth have you done now?" I asked sarcastically, although she knew I was joking.

"Well, I didn't want to tell Madame Giry about everything, but I had to, it was the only way that you have a chance of waking up" She said slowly.

"Okay...so, what did she say?" I asked suspiciously.

"She believed me. But she doesn't know what to do since you're not from this time. And because you're not from this time, the universe doesn't think you and Erik 'belong together' or something like that. So long story short, she went to get Erik and bring him in here to see if a true love's kiss will work" Katelyn said, talking way faster than she normally did.

"True love's kiss? Now I'm one of those people" I said, but then we both busted out laughing.

"Yeah. Hey, you could be a Disney princess!" She said, her face turning red from laughing so much.

"I'm not turning into a Disney princess" I said, the smile never leaving my face.

"Sure you aren't" Katelyn said, raising her eyebrows. In response, I rolled my eyes, and she chuckled.

"So when are they coming?" I asked, eagerness in my voice.

"They should be here soon, just be patient. Don't worry, that'll probably make it worse. Just stay calm, I'm sure everything will be fine" Katelyn said softly, trying to calm me. We stood in silence for a few minutes, I taking deep breaths every now and then to calm my nerves. And then Madame Giry and Erik walked in nervously shutting the door behind them.
