Nothing but the plot is mine

Christine lay in bed piecing together the final parts of her plan. Raoul had left early that morning to attend another meeting making Christine all the more determined to go through with her plan. She ran through the details once again until she was satisfied she had remembered everything including the small details that would allow her plan to work fully.

She found she had problems sleeping after she had left Erik she missed him singing to her, the songs no body ever heard.

"In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came that voice which calls to me and speaks my name."

Christine gave up trying to sleep. She got up and dressed. When she was dressed she looked at herself in the mirror. Then she remembered there was no point in trying to make herself look her best for Erik given that he wouldn't be able to see her. A bolt of jealously ran through her what she thought of Mme Giry comforting him and being with him. The only thing that stopped her going insane with jealousy was the fact that she knew it would soon be her that would be with Erik, holding him in his dark

She looked around the house for what she planned to be the last time. "I'm sorry Raoul but my father promised me an Angel of music and won't let anything stand between my father's promises," she whispered.

She shut the door behind her and got into a carriage that would take her to Mme Giry's home and more importantly to Erik.

"I'm glad everything worked out for you mother," Meg smiled relief clear in her voice and face.

Mme Giry smiled at her daughter's evident relief. "Meg my darling you should not have worried. Christine simply wanted to say her goodbyes. She possibly needed to know that he was safe before she could start her new life with Raoul," she said still feeling slightly guilty that she herself had been to ready to judge Christine's actions.

"Where is Erik?" Meg asked. She had learnt to become slightly more relaxed around Erik but she still preferred not to be alone with him if she could help it.

"He's sleeping in the bedroom," Mme Giry said with the same smile creeping across her face every time someone said his name. Mme Giry hoped that they had endured enough pain and that they may now finally be able to move on with their lives. She hoped that maybe now they could put all of their past guilt, mistakes and hurt behind them and start again.

Christine knocked the door and waited for someone to answer. "Christine?" Meg said the surprise clear in her voice. Before Christine had the chance to answer she was pulled into a hug by Meg.

"What are you doing here?" Meg asked still hugging her friend.

"I…came here to see Madame Giry I need to talk to her abut something. Is she here?" Christine asked gently breaking free of the embrace.

"Oh….she's in the living room," Meg answered leading Christine towards it. She tried to push out the slight hurt she felt at the fact it was her mother Christine was here to see and not her.

"Who was at the door dear?" Mme Giry asked stopping in her tracks when she saw Christine standing at the door. "Christine, what can we do for you?" she asked smiling warmly at her.

"I just thought we could have a little chat," Christine said her eyes meeting Mme Giry's.

There was something in her eyes that Mme Giry didn't like. She couldn't explain what it was but there was a look in her eyes that she didn't trust. "Of course, Meg would you leave us be for a bit please."

Meg had also seen the look in Christine's eyes. She knew there was something going on. Meg knew something had changed with Christine and she wasn't sure that it was a change she liked.

When Meg was gone Mme Giry turned her attention to Christine. "What is it that you want to talk about?" she asked forcing herself to keep her tone friendly.

"I wanted to ask you a question," Christine said still smiling sweetly.

"Go on then," Mme Giry said wondering where she was going with this.

"I was wondering if you knew how Benjamin is, I'm guessing it's been a while since you've heard from him," she said her smile widening.

Mme Giry stared at her how on earth could Christine know about him? She had not made contact with him in ten years.
