The Angel of Darkness

Chapter 2- The Way to Paris- Part 2

Two days later... November, 15 2008

Earlier that morning..

6:15 am -

" Hello?" I said drowsy into the phone.

" Yes, Erika, I just want to remind of your flight today at 9:15" said Mrs. De Fore (My boss)

" What flight?!" I almost shouted into the phone, as I jumped out the bed.I walked passed Deslter (whom was chewing on my slippers) as walked onto the deck. Deslter followed me and went down to the beach for his morning routine.

" The flight I told you about at the meeting ." said Mrs. De Fore calmly

"What meeting?!" I said trying to contain my anger, as I paced across the deck.

" The meeting, last week on Friday."

" I wasn't at the meeting, Mrs. De Fore. I was at the fashion shot in New York ,Mrs. De Fore." I said gritting my teeth.

" I am sorry but we can't cancel the flight, plus it is important you be there to show our new line. But your tickets will be at the airport on hold under my name."

" I will do my best, Mrs. De Fore " I said trying not to add a least bit of hate in my voice as I watched Deslter finishing up and coming back to the house.

" That my Erika, doing her best at her job" she said happily " that's why I picked you for the fashion show"

" Sometimes I wished you didn't" I muttered as she hung up the phone. I let Deslter back in house, who ran back in the kitchen to continue chewing on my slippers. Once back in the house, I marched back into my bedroom and began to pack.

8 :00 am -

" Erika, its time to go," shouted Lucy " you're going to be late !" Erika ran down the stair with her bags and her fashion portfolio dragging behind her. " You are a mess.." Lucy smirked as she watched Erika run out to the car.

" Well.. You're ..Useless " Erika said in between breaths as she stuffed her luggage in the car. " Now... let's go" she said rasped as she jumped into the car. Lucy followed her and drove off to the airport. The short drive to the airport seem to be hours to Erika.

Thanks for being there this morning.. but could you go any faster?" she said as she looked at the clock. It was 8:15, the flight at 9: 15 they would never make it at this point.

" Erika, just calm down, were almost there" Lucy said trying to comfort her friend .

"But.. Why does this kind of situation all was happen to me ?! " Erika rasped " Calling at the last minute. How is a wake call any better when your boss calls and said " Oh.. You have an 9:15 plane flight today. Good luck! " Erika crouched down into the seat " Sometimes I hate my job."

"Well... at least you have good pay!" Lucy smirked

" Yeah.. but I'm stressed out and frustrated all the time. This job is going to lead to my grave" Erika said as the car stopped. Erika jumped out and started grabbing at the bags in the back seat of the car.

" You could at least help me out !" shouted Erika as she stuffed her bags under her arms.

"Okay, Miss Grumpy" Lucy chuckled as she also grabbed the bags.

Erika and Lucy ran into the airport and unload Erika bags on to the search table. The guard, slowly checked all the bags and then search Erika and Lucy. As so as they got of the "search area", they ran to the ticket booth.

" I'm here for the 9:15 flight to Paris, France and I was told my ticket would be here on hold." Erika rasped

" Last Name ?"

" De Fore"

" Here are your tickets, have an good trip"

" Thank You "

Erika ran to door of the plane and gave the lady her ticket. Erika looked back Lucy" Well as this is where..I guess ..I say my goodbyes. Well.. Goodbye, Lucy." Erika said as she hugged Lucy " Make sure to take care of Deslter for me while I'm gone.

" I will make sure I do.. Now get going , Erika. Goodbye." said Lucy as she watched Erika get on the plane.

Meanwhile...in the year 1887 Paris,France

Two days after the dream of the mysterious woman, Erik spent hours without breaks (expect bathroom) trying to find out who the mysterious woman was. At first, he only thought of it as an dream, but something became over him to investigate the situation. Erik locked himself away in his drawing room, where he sketched pictures of the woman in the dream. He examine the sketched to try to find any clue of this woman belonging to his past , but are was no match. He remembered the music at was played in the dream which the woman a\was dance along to. He tried his best to reconstruct it,but found it quite hard to construct with an organ and a violin he hummed the tune instead. He tutored Christine has he always done but the woman seem to take over his mind. He would sometime find himself dreaming or humming the song during Christine's lessons. Christine was not appealed by this behavior and would run into her room locking into. But Erik, who normal would beg for the Christine's forgiveness , but this time he also turned his back and locked himself in his room. Erik didn't realise much how much of an annoyance Christine could be until those two days. Erik went back to his work " I find find who you are, Mysterious woman " Erik whispered to himself as composed a new part to his Don Juan Triumphant.

Back to the plane...

I was seated in first class to my amazement " Mrs. De Fore must of feel sorry for me because she would had paid the least amount of money to got me on a plane." I looked at her ticket because it feel an little heavier than most ticket envelopes. I opened it only to find a letter. " She sent someone over here to put this in here." I muttered as I opened it. It contain a credit card, a pair car keys and letter written in Mrs. De Fore's messy cursive. I began to read the letter :

Dear, Erika

I'm sorry for your inconvenience and a last minute flight which I neglected to tell you about.
I wish at you have a great time in Paris and at you make this fashion an success.
Erika, you know I sometime not very good at understanding the situation of my employees at I put them thorough but I would let to make it up to you.
Here is the keys to an new Mustang already booked in Paris and my credit card to help you enjoy your trip to Paris.

With fashion and love,


Mrs. De Fore

P.S That credit card has 10,000 on it, so consider it as a raise. Have fun!

" I final made my boss feel sorry for me " I said to myself as I did an little victory dance in my mind. " This will have to go in the book for the outrageous event at has happen to me." This is going to be a trip of a lifetime and I'm going to be in the middle of it. Paris, here I comes.I said to myself as I put my Ipod on and relaxed in the seat. " Just wonderful" I whispered as I drifted to sleep.

Darkangel( me): I have writer's block. I'm bored out of my mind , and staring at four wall is not enough

Erik (aside): She is crazy

Darkangel: I heard that! ( I jumped on Erik, making him fall to the ground) " Now that I got you...

Erik: Help me!

Alucard: She crazier than me ( as he watched Erik being hugged and kissed by Darkangel as he drank his blood.)

Darkangel: You're next, Alucard. ( Alucard choked on his blood as I tackled him)
