Disclaimer I do not own the Phantom of the Opera or its characters, but I really wish I did. -_- just a side note this story is from the 2004 movie plus some charters from the book, none of the charters have the same relations as they did in the book or movie besides e/c and Raoul... *shudder*

He shut the door to the carriage and walks away to find Nadir. Erik bangs on his front door.

"Nadir!" Erik shouts. "Open your door!"

A few seconds later the door creaks open and out walks a sleepy man and pajamas and a robe.

"Erik! What are you doing out like this, do you want to get caught?!"

"I have her Nadir, The woman we talked about"

"Is this what all the fuss is over at the opera house? because of a girl gone missing? I thought you were dead or something far worse!"

"I need you to drive us to the castle De Destler"

"Now?" Nadir asked rubbing his eyes.

"Yes the faster, the better"

"You are a crazy son of a bitch"

"And you aren't?"

"Hey I wasn't the one who lit the house on the fire at 4" Nadir said laughing as well as Erik.

"Help me please?"

"Then you owe me"

"You can live in the castle with us" Erik said negotiating a deal.

Nadir puts his hand out in agreement, they shake.

"I'll be right out"

Erik returns to the carriage to find a frighten Christine.

"What's wrong?"

"I just want to leave, how much longer shall it be?"

He gets in, sitting next to her holding her in his arms, Christine lays her head on his shoulder.

"I know you want to leave, as do I, but as soon as Nadir comes we will be off"

Christine sighs.

"How far away is it?"

"We will reach it by day break"

"OH..."

They hear Nadir get on the carriage and they start moving. Soon enough she was sleeping once more. Just in that moment Nadir spoke.

"What do you intend to do when he comes looking for her?" Nadir asked.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" "Do you think she'll be okay with you killing an ex lover? Or any person for that matter?"

"I'm not worried about Christine, she won't find out"

"How can you be so sure?" "Don't question me Nadir or I will have to silence you too"

"You dare silence your brother, I did teach you everything you know"

Erik laughed at the memories that came to his mind.

"I don't think you could catch me" Erik laughed.

"Oh speed isn't the only thing, remember stealth, choose your words wisely, and know your arena"

Erik went quiet. Nadir got worried.

"What is bugging you Erik?"

"Have you ever been in love with some one who doesn't deserve you?"

"I've been with Madame Giry for years, did I deserve her? No because I could never repay her for saving you"

"You don't think Christine feels pity for me do you?"

"I can not say, she doesn't love Raoul, I can see that, but pity you? I think not"

Erik smiles as he looks at his beautiful Christine.

Hours later, Erik wakes up to feel the warmth of the sun on his face, and knows there close to home.

"Nadir can you see the castle?" Erik says lifting his head off the back of the carriage.

"Yes, look"

Erik opens the window and see's the road to his castle, on the horizon he see's his home, he nudges Christine to wake up to show her the sight.

Oh Erik! Is this yo..." Christine started to ask.

"My love welcome to Castle De Destler, your new home"

"Destler? Erik is that your last name?"

"Yes Christine"

She jumps into his lap and kisses him and then finds herself staring back out the window with Erik, she looks down at his empty hand and entwines her fingers in his, Erik looks down at the shock of warmth in his hand and looks looks back up at Christine.

"Erik this place is beautiful, this is your real home?"

"Yes, I only stayed at the opera house for you"
