Author's Note: This is my third Phantom story, it is a little shorter than my other stories but I do hope you enjoy it. Erik looks like he does in the ALW movie.

Disclaimer:I don't own any of the characters.

Your Words Will Warm and Calm You

Erik sat in his chair at his desk. He held a long red rose to his half-covered nose and took in the delightful scent of the flower. With a deep sigh he placed the roes onto his desk and began to rub his upper arms through his white puffy shirt. Despite the many candles and the roaring fire it was absolutely freezing down in his home. No matter how much he tried to tell himself he was fine, he couldn't face fact; he was getting a cold.

Taking another deep breath he could feel his eyelids get heavier and heavier by the second. Pretty soon Erik closed his eyes and felt sleep overtake him.
