Really short chapter here. But I hit the 10. Woo! Enjoy.
Chapter 10: Payback Time
Katherine was staring out of her bedroom window. "I saw you skating with Sean." Erik said. "…It was very different when you were skating with Alex." He added. "What's your point?" she asked, looking at him now. "What were you thinking when you were skating with Sean?" he asked. Katherine looked down, "I…don't think I was thinking." She said. "He was acting so differently when we were skating, and I was too. But why did I join in?" she asked herself. "I feel like the Christine in my own life. But who is the Phantom, or Raoul?" There was a pause between the both of them. "It looks like you have some thinking to do, Katherine." Erik said. "Wait, Erik you have to help me." she said. "Why would you want my help? I failed in my own love life, almost everybody knows that, and I don't want to take any chances in ruining yours." he said quietly and left the room.
Erik was staring impatiently at the clock in his room. It was already late evening and Katherine still didn't come out of her room. He sighed and walked to her room. The door was closed, but music was coming out from behind it. Katherine was playing the violin. Erik closed his eyes and listened to her play. He felt like a little boy who was eagerly listening to a most fantastic story. The music stopped and there was silence for a moment. But then she started to sing. Erik was surprised, he never heard her sing like that before. In her voice were confusion, despair and love. He could feel it. He opened the door and sat on the bed quietly. Katherine had her eyes closed but when she opened them and saw Erik, she stopped singing. "I had never heard you sing like that before, Katherine." Erik said. "You have a lovely voice." Katherine smiled, "Thank you." She said. you do me a favor?" she asked. "Of course, what is it?" Katherine was rubbing her elbow, "Could you rub your shoulder?" she asked. He reached for his own elbow. "Sure but why-" he glared at her. She started cracking up. "I got you back! I asked you to rub your shoulder and you rubbed your elbow!" she continued to laugh. "Okay you got me back…happy now?" he asked. Katherine nodded, "Very much so." She said and continued to laugh.
I know...short chapter. But Katherine needed her payback. Next chapter I'm thinking the Christmas chapter. And...post it on Christmas. So see you then! Happy Holidays!
