I'm finally back writing! Happy New Year's Eve! Kinda short though...
"Recognized Love"
"Oh Christine!" Her voice is a strange thing, a key to Erik's heart. But to hear it on the lips of the Vicomte de Chagney, it snatches at Erik's cold, cold, heart.
"Nothing will stop us! We will run away, away from this wretched place and that despicable creature! And I, I shall take you as my beloved bride!" Raoul declares. My eyes flash as I flatten myself against the statue.
"Oh, Love, oh Raoul!" His name is not worthy to be spoken with her voice.
"I can't! I simply can't! My love lies here! With him!" I let out a sigh full of love, but quickly let my eyes flash once more. She is a vixen! She betrayed me, she wanted to hide from me, Erik! And what have I done? Followed her around like a lovesick puppy! Oh, the mistakes I've made, the hurt I've felt.
"Oh, Pandora herself!" I cry as I step from behind the statue.
"Erik! I don't-"
"Oh, really? Well I do!" I sneer, and with a flourish, Raoul de Chagney soon has a Punjab lasso around his wretched neck.
"Oh, how I've dreamed of this!" I snarl. Raoul chokes, hissing slowly as Christine moves to stop me, but I throw her to the ground. I release the lasso from Raoul's neck, him gasping for air!
"You wish to run away?" I ask, Christine shakes her head from the ground.
"Well, my dear, we will!" I snatch the girl up, and run from the roof, leaving the Vicomte on the ground, heaving. Soon, we are at my lair, when I release her from my grasp.
"A monster!" Christine shouts, and nothing else happens when I lift my mask up just a bit, to kiss the girl.
