Here is chapter 4! I hope you like it! Its in Erk's POV btw! :)
ERIK'S POV
Erin is singing tonight. Christine's daughter. Thanks to Justine, I really must thank her. Only fact is I can't. but it doesn't matter. I've heard Erin sing in the chapel. Her voice sounds like Christine and mine combined. But how? She is supposed to be Christine and Raoul's. I kept going over it. Then I heard her sing Think of Me for the managers. The very first song Christine performed. Oh how beautiful her voice was it made me think of Christine. Then it hit me. One week before christine's wedding with Raoul…she came back to my lair….she said she felt guilty. I told her it was my fault. Then She said…..
"Erik, I betrayed you."
"Christine, I murdered all those people. You are not the one guilty."
Then she kissed me, I don't know why she did but she did and I gave in….what was a kiss turned into more. She ended up sleeping over. So in the morning, I was already awake when she woke up.
"Good morning Christine. I said as I walked in."
"Good morning Erik, I didn't think I was going to sleep over."
"Yes neither did I, but you are engaged and it might be best if you leave."
"I understand. But you will always be a part of me." With that she left. I guess she really did love Raoul.
Erin is not Raoul's daughter. She is mine.
The opera was running behind schedule, I thought to myself those two idiots can't seem to do anything right. Stupid managers. I began to get curious as to what was taking so long, so I headed backstage to see what was going on, I stayed to the shadows so no one would see me. I saw Erin in her costume which was a purple swirly gown, she was arguing with Meg and the managers..
"Please I'm scared. What if I get sick?"
"Madamoiselle, please you will not get sick. You are a wonderful, very gifted singer please do not back out?" Andre asked sounding desperate.
"Erin, you can do this." Meg encouraged. There was a long silence as Erin looked as if she was trying to decide. I couldn't help myself I really wanted her to sing.
"Erin, you can do this you have your mother's voice. Make her proud. Make your father proud." She looked around trying to figure out who said that. She looked at me. But I guess she didn't see me, although I was scared she did. After a few seconds she agreed to sing. She walked to the doorway of the stage and waited for her cue. Then she walked on stage and began to sing. I had already made it to box five when she began.
Who knows when love begins who knows what makes it start
One day its simply there alive inside your heart.
It slips into your thoughts, it infiltrates your soul
Takes you by surprise then seizes full control
Try to deny it and try to protest
But love won't let you go
Once you've been possessed
Love Never Dies
Love Never Falters
Once it has spoken
Love is yours
Her voice was so sweet. She hit each note beautifully. She reminded me so much of Christine. She had her brown curly hair, although for the first time I noticed that her eyes were like mine. But her face was like Christine's. I started to drift off dreaming of the days I spent teaching Christine in the chapel, bringing her to my lair for the first time. Singing Music of the Night. I thought of all the good times we had…..when I finally glanced back to reality Erin was ending the song…
Life may be fleeting
Love lives on
Life may be fleeting
Love lives on
After the last note she stood smiled while flowers were thrown on stage then the curtain closed. And I figured Erin was heading for the chapel so I made my way there. (staying in the shadows of course)
