Chapter 7

"Nadir…?" Erik stepped back slightly and turned the lights on, "What do you want?"

Nadir shrugged, "I missed my friend" Erik sighed and motioned for Nadir to come in. Erik thought of the way Nadir had saved him from being killed by his master. Nadir entered his house and Erik led him to the living room.

"Nice place, Erik." he smiled slightly. Erik sat down and looked down at his hands.

"Thanks" They sat in silence for a while, but the silence ended when they heard someone descending the stairs. Christine walked into the living room in her nightgown, with her robe over it.

"Erik are you c-"she froze when she saw the stranger.

"E-Erik, who's this?" Erik stood up and took her hand.

"This is Nadir Khan. An old friend of mine. Nadir, this is Christine Daae. My…partner." Erik shifted awkwardly. Christine giggled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Khan." She smiled and shook his hand.

"Likewise, Miss Daae" Erik sat down on the couch and Christine sat next to him.

"So where are you living, Mr Khan?" she asked.

"Please call me Nadir….and I don't exactly have a place to stay" he frowned. Christine glanced at Erik. Erik looked at her and shook his head. She rolled her eyes.

"Why don't you stay here, Erik has lots of space. Don't you, Erik?" Christine squeezed Erik's hand.

"Yes, indeed you are welcome to stay here." Erik sometimes hated how kind Christine was to absolutely everybody.

"Oh, thank you Erik! I won't invade your privacy for long" he smiled at Christine and silently thanked her without Erik noticing.

"You can have one of the spare rooms upstairs. We'll talk in the morning" Erik stated and stood up to turn the lights off. Nadir nodded and Christine led him to the spare room before going back to Erik's room. Erik was changing out of his clothes.

"Erik…" Christine glared at him. "Be nice to him, he's your friend."

"Fine" Erik huffed, "I'll be nice to him..." Erik crawled into bed and Christine got in next to him.

"Good boy," she patted his head. Erik glared at her and she giggled. Erik couldn't help but smile at her playfulness. She leaned forward and kissed him softly. He kissed back and wrapped his arms around her. Christine snuggled into his chest and fell asleep. Erik, however, could not fall asleep. He wondered why Nadir was there. It could be that Javert sent him, Christine had mentioned Javert's name. Although he didn't think Nadir would betray after what he did for Nadir's son. Erik lay awake till the early hours of the morning, going through the possibilities.

Christine woke up the next morning and found that Erik was not next to her. She put on her robe and got out of bed. When she got to the staircase, she heard to people arguing. It was Nadir and Erik.

"I am not here because of Javert!" she realised that Nadir had shouted that.

"Shut up, man! Christine cannot know what I did in the past. That is between you and me…and Javert" Erik shuddered. Nadir stormed out of the house and slammed the front door. Christine walked down the stairs and towards Erik.

"Morning…" Christine mumbled. Erik turned to look at her. He hoped that she hadn't heard his conversation with Nadir.

"You said we should be honest with each other and yet you're lying to me…" Christine sighed.

"Christine, I'm doing it to protect you…"

"No, Erik. I can't do this if you're going to lie to me. Either you tell me the truth or I'm leaving…" Christine stood quite far away from Erik and remained stern.

"Christine…I…can't…" Erik tried to explain but Christine wouldn't have it. She merely shook her head.

"I'll have a servant bring your car…" Christine nodded and Erik left. He went into his office and sank onto the office.

Only once Christine was in the car did she allow the tears to flow.

XXXX

Christine got home and went inside. Something was different. Her first instinct was to run but she decided not to. She slowly walked into the living room and someone grabbed her. It was Raoul. Another man then came out to tie her hands up. They both dragged her out of the house and into the car where they drove away. Christine screamed so the man knocked her out.

An hour later Christine woke up in a dark room she tried to move but she was tied to a chair. She screamed but her screams were muffled because of the cloth tied over her mouth. The man she did not know entered the room.

"Hello, Christine." he smirked. Christine just started at him with a blank expression.

"If you do not want to die here, you better tell us where that boyfriend of yours is." He removed the cloth from Christine's mouth. Christine bit his hand and shouted "Never!"He growled and left the room.

XXXX

Erik had been sitting in his office all day. Christine left him and he couldn't bare it. He loved her but he knew why he had to. He had to protect her from Javert. Erik was about to leave to go see her when he received an email. It was from Javert. He was about to delete it but he saw Christine's name.

The email read: We have Christine. Be at the warehouse at midnight or she dies.

-Your Master.

Erik picked up his coffee mug and threw it against the wall. That bastard had his Christine. He would save her. He had to, seeing that it was his fault that she was in this situation. It was 8pm now. 4 more hours till he saved Christine. He needed a plan so he called the one person that could help him.

XXXX

Christine glanced at the clock. It was 11:30pm. Javert had told her that if he didn't have what he wanted by midnight she would be dead. She assumed that he wanted Erik. Erik. She hadn't stopped thinking about him. She understood why he wouldn't tell her about his part. It would put her in harms way and know here she is. Kidnapped by some enemy of Erik's. She wondered if Erik even wanted to save her after how unreasonable she'd been. It was 11:55pm now and she lost all hope until she heard an angelic voice calling her name softly.

"Christine"

She thought she was delusional as she saw Erik standing in front of her. It must have been from the lack of food and water. She looked up at the ceiling, "Oh, Erik. I need you"

"I'm right here, Christine"

Christine gasped she had to be dreaming. Obviously she wasn't because the next minute Erik was next to her untying the ropes that bound her to the chair.

"Oh Erik, you're here! You rea—" He placed a finger to her lips to silence her and picked her up. He went out the door but was stopped by Raoul. He set Christine down just before Raoul came charging at him. He dodged Raoul and grabbed him by his neck. Strangling him until he was no longer conscious. He picked Christine up again and left the building, staying in the shadows. He slipped into the forest, far away from the building.

"Erik, I'm so so—"he silenced her with a passionate kiss.

"We'll talk later." A man walked up behind them and pulled them both behind the tree. Christine gasped, about to scream but she realised it was Nadir.

"I got rid of Javert. Raoul, however, is still alive. Unless you killed him?" Nadir looked at Erik and Christine. Erik shook his head. Nadir nodded.

"Thank you, Nadir." Erik smiled slightly.

"You're welcome. You two better go home now" Nadir smiled.

"Aren't you coming?" Christine interrupted.

Nadir shook his head "I found an apartment. I'll definitely visit though" Nadir left. Erik turned to Christine.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Erik placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm fine. Can we go home?" Erik nodded and lead her towards her the streets, where he called a cab.

"Shall I get the driver to take you home first?" Erik asked.

Christine shook her head. "I want to be with you. Please forgive me for what happened this morning?"

"No Christine, I should ask you to forgive me…" Christine smiled and kissed him quickly.

They arrived home at 1am. Erik swept Christine off her feet and carried her to the room. Christine giggled as he carried her up the stairs. Erik set Christine on the bed and kissed her.

"Can I take a shower first?" Christine asked, "I feel…dirty"

Erik growled, "Did that man touch you?"Christine shook her head. Erik sighed relieved.

"Okay, I'll put on the water for you"

Christine smiled. "Thanks, I love you."

"Love you too" he went into the bathroom and turned on the water. Christine came in a few minutes after wrapped in a robe.

"Join me?" She whispered. He nodded and began to strip. They both got into the shower. Naked. They hadn't seen each others bodies properly before. Erik ran his hands along Christine's body. Christine did the same. They kissed beneath the hot water. Erik pushed her gently against the wall.

"Christine, you are a beautiful angel.."
