Chapter Three: The Nightmare Begins

When Gwen woke her vision was slightly blurry. Once it cleared she realized where she was and what had happened. She realized then what had woken her, Erik, yelling.

Great, she thought irritably, the supid girl's gone and taken off his mask. She groaned inwardly realizing that Erik, by now, had probably forgotten her. She grinned, this might be good, she could catch him off guard...

When Erik returned from taking Christine back to those fools who ran his theater, he found himself suddenly caught in a woman's embrace.

"What the..." he exclaimed just before Melody Jayne pressed her lips against his. He threw her to the floor. Where did this... girl get off attacking him like that? It was time this child was taught a lesson. "What do you think you're doing?!" Her devious grin caught him off guard, but her reply threw him worse...

"You, my beloved Angel, know exactly what I was doing."

"You stupid child! I told I'm not your angel! That title is reserved only for Christine!" He screamed at her. "Do you want to see exactly what kind of Angel I can be?" He hissed as he pulled her body to him, his arms holding her tight against him.

"Yes Erik. Show me what a dark angel you are. I am yours." She sighed pressing her lips to his neck. Erik gasped as she pressed her body close against him. She slid her arms around him as she moved her lips against his neck... Surely the girl was insane, did she not know that she was flirting with danger? Well he would have to show her then...

Gwen gasped as Erik pushed her against the wall, pinning her arms above her as he did so. He pressed his lips roughly against hers, bruising her mouth and exciting her at the same time. She sighed with pleasure as he slid his hands down her arms... and then he threw her to floor.

"Curse you woman!" he hissed. "How is it you do not fear me?" He sounded a little sacred himself.

"Fear you?" Gwen couldn't help but smile. "I love you."

"Love me?" He pulled the mask from his face and his breathing grew harsh and heavy..."Do you love this?" Gwen rose slowly to her feet and walked to Erik. She rose up on her toes taking his face in her hands and kissing him slowly.

"Yes I love even that,"

Erik smiled a little, his eyes grew slightly misty. There was no fear in her eyes... she did love him, but it was a love so deep, so dark, it bordered on the edge of obsession... and then he remembered... Christine...

"Christine..." The name escaped his lips as a sigh and Gwen let out a half choked sob.

"Christine? Christine? I profess my undying love and all you can say is Christine?" She sobbed. How could he? How could he do this to her? He was supposed to forget Christine and love her! Why did things not ever go as they were supposed to?

Erik looked down an the sobbing girl in front of him. How dare she try to take Christine's place?

"Leave me." He hissed darkly. She looked at him blankly. "Go now and leave me!" He screamed. Only then did her face register fear... her face paled and she ran from his lair sobbing.

Gwen ran and ran until she saw light. She ran to the chapel and fell to the floor. She lay on the floor sobbing and screaming at god until she fell asleep on the cold stone floor...

Gwen ran through winding tunnels underneath the opera house. Her breathing was hard and her vision was blurred by tears. Her chest felt like it was being stabbed again and again by icicles each time she took a breath. She to go on... She had to find him before it was too late.

She turned the final corner and what she saw caused her to scream.

Erik... his wrists sliced by the cold, crimson blade in his hand, he was lying in a pool of his own blood. She ran to his body sobs racking her body. She knelt beside him the blood staining her gown.

"Erik... Why? Erik, please..." She screamed.

"Christine..." He whispered with his last, dying breath... and Gwen screamed.

Gwen woke with a start, her body racked with sobs as she remembered the horrible nightmare she'd just had...

A/N So there it is! Now review and I shall send you another Chapter! Also I'd like to suggest that you read Fallen Angels (E/OW) or Empress of Dreams (E/M) They're a lot better than this one.
