The Feeling In Your Heart
Author Note: This is my first fanfic so please review and be nice if you don't like it. I must warn you this is rated mature for a reason so there will be parts later in the fic you might want to skip if you can't handle it. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I am enjoying writing it. I've made some slight changes such as spelling and some wording. Nothing major.
Summary: A year after Christine leaves Erik to die, he finds himself saving the life of a mysterious woman with a rare ability.
Chapter One: Choices
Erik walked around the tunnel deep in thought. It had been several months since anyone had bothered to come down here. The search parties had given up months ago. Since that time he had done what he could to make his place more bearable. The fire had cause a lot of damage and left most of his things smoke damaged. Thankfully he had a lot of help from Madame Giry in find new things. None of the search parties had ever gotten as far as his home, but he installed several things in the many tunnels to alert him when someone had entered.
That is what had brought him here in the first place. Early this morning, at least he thought it was morning, he heard one of his alarms go of for one of the east tunnels. He continued to walk slowly and silently when he heard a mans angry voice coming from far ahead of him.
"You can't leave her like that. What the hell were you thinking? That is the fucking problem; you don't think you half-brained twit. Look at what you did. Cover her up. He will want to deal with her when he gets here and he won't be happy." There was a rustling of what sounded like material.
"Hurry up!!!!!" a deeper voice yelled.
Three men down here and a woman. Question was: what were they doing with her? Should he make himself known? That could mean another search party. Or he could just kill them all. He smirked at the thought. But no, he had promised himself and Madame Giry that he wouldn't kill anyone else. So he simply stood there and listened.
"All right now little girl, you be good and sit tight and we'll be right back with the one who so desperately wants to make you his own," he heard laughter and the cruel voice continued, "No point in trying to struggle, got you tied up real good." He heard their boots hit the floor as they began to move away.
Erik walked forward debating whether or not he was going to make himself known to the girl and stopped short when he heard another voice.
"Bet what we did to you hurts, doesn't it? Bet you wished you had obeyed, right? Ah, such a pretty little thing you are. Wish I could have..." Erik never got to know what that wished he could have done because he only heard what sounded like a boot connect with the man's ribs. The man howled in pain.
"Now get your ass moving. We don't have all day."
The three finally made their way out of the tunnel leaving Erik to stand there in thought. Should he save the girl? What if they came back and began a search if he did. He was sure he could easily take care of those three jerks if they came back, but if there were a lot more...he really did not feel up to it. One girl surely isn't worth his time. Maybe he should just leave her there. She was obviously important to who ever had her brought here. Then again, why was she here? A girl really couldn't be much of a danger to anyone. Not really.
He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard coughing. How long had he been standing there? His feet were aching. There was a rustling of clothes and the sound was getting louder. He could hear the patter of bare feet connecting with the ground and the sound was getting steadily closer.
