Chapter Seven: Pity

Marie felt bad for yelling at Christine like that. She knew she was only trying to help. Maybe she could've said it in a nicer way? She didn't know all she knew was she wanted out of this.

"Marie…?" she hears a soft voice calling her. She looked to the door and saw that it was Raoul. She gasps.

"Raoul you shouldn't be here," she said in whisper. Raoul softly took her by the shoulders.

"Marie please tell what is bothering you. Has someone hurt you? Has someone scared you?" he asked with concern. She pushed him and got out of his grasp.

"Please just leave me alone…." she said as tears swelled up in her eyes again.

"Marie……." whispered Raoul. Why? Why wouldn't he just leave her alone.

"NO! Just leave me alone please…or he'll come!" she sobbed. Raoul kept stepping forward. He finally reached out ad hugged no matter how many times she told him to go away.

"Raoul you don't understand he'll come for you. Please just leave me alone," she sobbed

"Marie tell me what is the matter," said Roul. Marie shook her head once more and heard and crack behind that's when she panicked.

"Get out you have to go now." she demanded more harshly

"But Mar-" She interrupted him before he could speak.

"I said leave!" she screamed as she pushed him out and slammed the door in his face. She ws just about to continue reading but someone else came in her room from the trap door.

"Erik…" she whispered.

"You were with that fool of a boy?" he asked

"H-I-I mean I didn't mean for him to come-he wouldn't leave and I-please believe me" she stuttered.

"You're mumbling my dear," said Erik

"Please believe me It wasn't his fault you may punish me if you like but not him!" she yelled

"I believe you my dear. And you were right to push him. He wouldn't listen." said Erik. Marie turned around so she wouldn't face him. She then felt someone touch her hair.

"You don't remember do you?" asked Erik.

"T-that boy…? I remember but barley. I don't remember his face much," she whispered. She blinked and tears came down her eyes.

"You ran, I was so angry. I was hurt. I was only a boy," he said. She could feel his tears drip down on her shoulders.

"Please don't make me feel more guilty then I already am," she pleaded "I was shocked. I didn't know what to think or what to do. I wanted to reach out I did. But then my mind kept screaming "Run, run!!" you have to understand I was only a little girl"

"Come." he said as he pulled her along.

"What? But you said you would-"

"I know just come. I want to show you something." he said. They went back to his domain and he sat her at his organ. He started fumbling through his trunk and gave her some old warn out papers. She took them and looked through them then she gasped.

"Oh my god. My drawings! I thought I lost them. Y-you stole them?" she asked.

"No you dropped them when you ran that day. They fell out of your bag." he said. She smiled. She went up to him and hugged him. He suddenly felt stiff.

'She's hugging me? Should I hug her back?' he thought

She knew how tense he felt and stopped.

"I'm sorry…did I make you uncomfortable?" she asked.

"Well I just…I've never been really hugged before," he whispered. She felt bad for him. Now she just felt ashamed.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"Don't pity me!!" he said harshly as he went past her.
