This is an Erik and Christine story from the movie 2004 starting off right after Erik told Christine to leave and take Raoul. She does not kiss Raoul . Erik does not have a mask on.

I don't own any of these characters just the story and plot are my own.

Chapter 3

Erik found it very difficult to hold the small chest as Christine was pressing herself to him in a hug he longed to hug her and more but for right now he had to get her out of this place. Erik touched her back and whispered "come my dear we must move quickly so as to arrive away from these tunnels and passages before Raoul is able to find us."

Christine nodded her head and moved so that Erik could show her the way out. She found that she was silently praying that they would make it to their destination before Raoul she wanted to be with Erik and not Raoul and it seemed that Raoul would not take no for an answer. Once Erik had moved passed Christine he reached for her hand and grasped it firmly as he wanted to help her as best as he could and he knew she had to be getting tired as it had been a long and trying day.

They walked in silence Erik wanting to keep his thoughts to himself and Christine giving him time. Time to form a plan time to ponder her words and actions of this night a few times as they were walking Christine ended up brushing against Erik and once she used her hand to brace herself and it landed squarely on his exposed chest. She was glad it was mostly dark or he would have seen that she went from white to tomato red in seconds. Erik did happen to see her blush as they had shared an intimate touch accidental but still intimate. He was not sure what to make of this she, his angel had kissed him a demon 3 times this night that was 3 more kisses then he had ever received in his whole life. His own mother refused to kiss him and that kiss would not have been on the lips as his angel had kissed him. The touch of her lips made him feel so many things that he was not sure if he would ever process what she was doing to him. He knew that the passages would be ending soon leaving them on the streets of Paris close to a house that Erik had bought at one time. He had considered taking Christine there so she could rest and sleep and he could gain back some of his composure having Christine this close to him was making him mad with want. He also had considered taking her to the train station and taking the first train to England since he had a home there too in case. Then it dawned on him he did not have a mask on and surely people would see him and want to scream.

Erik stopped abruptly and caused Christine to crash had into him she stepped back after a minute and looked down apologizing since the look on his face was not the face of someone that was ok with her crashing into him. Little did she realize it was not due to her it was due to the fact that he had no way to cover his face? "Christine I am afraid that you must go on without me it is not safe for me to travel above on the streets without some kind of mask and I forgot it in our hurry to leave." Christine looked at him in horror "Erik love if you have to stay below then so will I. I don't want to be parted from you my angel." She smiled at him as he placed the small chest down he wanted time to think to process a way that he could cover his face but before he could even consider one thought his arms were full of Christine she was hugging him caressing his back kissing his chest. He knew he could die happy now he did not care if he never experienced the joys of the flesh his Christine had kissed him, touched him, and hugged him.

He buried his nose in her hair loving the smell loving the feeling of her in his arms. Finally he had a thought but he did not know what she would think of it. "Christine my dear would you consider wrapping my face with strips of your petticoat it would look like bandages and then we would be able to leave.

She begins to remove her dress off her shoulders so that they would have access to her petticoat. Erik could not believe this woman she would give him a demon her petticoat. He turned from her to give her a bit of privacy once she had torn as much as she thought that she would need to wrap his face she tugged on his arm and Erik kneeled in front of her. Before she began to wrap his face she touched his face and leaned down and kissed him once more letting her tongue caress his lips and when he opened his mouth she tasted his tongue and she felt like she was in heaven she was so happy to have her angel with her.

Erik moaned into Christine's kiss he was so unused to receiving love and kindness that he was so ill prepared as to how to react should he place his hands on her face her waist. He hoped that she would kiss him in the days to come and she would be a patient teacher and show him how she wanted to be touched and to show him how she would like to touch him.

Christine pulled away from the kiss sadly and looked at Erik and then she began to wrap the scraps of her petticoat around his face following his instruction so that he was still able to see.

Once he was wrapped he picked up his trunk and took her hand once more and off they went to the local train station where Christine was able to get them a room on the train to England. Erik led Christine to their room as they had registered on the train as husband and wife. Erik knew that tonight would be a test of his will power as he would have to reframe from wanting to make Christine his wife in the physical sense of the word. Once in their room Erik sat on the bed and Christine unwrapped his face. Kissing his face as she went Erik never knew a healing touch but he was learning how powerful touch could be. He liked this feeling of touch and giving and receiving these touch and only hoped that he would touch her in the right way and in time that she would touch him in the right way.

Raoul could not believe that Christine had been taken once again by that monster. He had run out of that opera house and to all the train stations and could not find them anywhere the only train that had left had been going to England. So Raoul went home packed his truck and got on the very next train to England in the hopes that he would still be able to find them before Christine was unable to be rescued.
