Jacqueline is unable to do anything but follow that firm grip where it leads, leaving the stage behind where people are only just starting to wonder why it's so quiet.
She can hear her heart beating in her ears and throat as she's led to the storage room. Sitting down where instructed as her knees threaten to give way. Perhaps this was where he was going to kill her, right? That must be how he does it, lures people into the spare rooms and does away with them. That sounded about right, anyone at the opera company would agree with that assessment.
She almost flinches away from the handkerchief before reaching for it hesitantly. Such a clean white square and here her hands were smeared with her own blood. The frightened rabbit watching the hawk. She dares not apply it to her face and so obscure him from her view, it would seem as foolhardy as turning ones back to the Phantom. Jacqueline does hold it over one of the larger cuts on her forearm to stop the bleeding. Such a cut will likely leave a scar when it healed. Her face might be salvaged in time if attended to. At the moment, it was quite bruised, a black eye beginning to show, and the split of her lip still red.
