-1Ch.11: What to do?
Odette sat on the roof looking out into the city. Just then the door of the roof opened and Louis walked out. "Odette, you are here." He said with a sigh of relief. "Did Meg tell you I was here?" she asked softly. "No she refused to tell anyone where you where, but my Mother said when her a my father had the phantom after them the only place they could escape was on the roof so I came to check if you were here." He explain. Little did Christine and Raoul know back then that the Phantom was there and he was here with Odette and Louis.
He was perched on one of the statues watching them closely. "Odette, I think you should leave here go far away I'm sure the managers can find an Opera house that needs one more person that's far from him." Louis said. Odette sat there thinking about what Louis had said then back to what the phantom told her on the way back up from the catacombs.
"Odette, I love you." He had told her. "how can you say that you barely know me?" she said. "I do know you I have since the first day I heard you sing. I will have you , Odette whether it be by force or not. I can't live alone anymore I'm tired of being lonely." Erik said taking Odette by the arm. "Well, your probably lonely because of that attitude of yours." she growled. "Well, we're prefect for each other because you have an attitude of your own." he hissed. "This Thursday you will be the lead Singer and I want your answer at the latest Friday night after the show."
"Odette, what is it?" Louis asked. "I can't leave I can't do that to him, and what if he starts killing people trying to find out where I went to and what if he goes for your mother or kills you and your father." Odette said. While saying this she began to breath heavily. "Odette, don't think that way." he said grabbing her. "I'm sorry Louis, I can't but just so you know I did like you." she told him and then broke free from his grip and walked away. "Did? What does she mean did like me?" he asked himself aloud.
Erik who was still perched on a statute smiled to himself . "So she is going to give into me." Erik said inside his mind. When the roof door clicked shut Erik realized he was now alone, and with a swish of his cloak he was gone. "Odette, oh my dear child thank God your back." Madame Giry said. Odette nodded as Louis walked into the room. "Christine, I need to talk to you." Odette said and her and Christine left the room.
"What is it Odette?" Christine asked politely. "I can't stay with you and your family anymore." Odette said calmly. "Why does he have anything to do with this?" Christine said. "Please, I can't put you and your Family in harm I have to stay with him." Odette told her. "You don't want to protect Raoul and me, you want to protect Louis, don't you?" Christine asked. Odette nodded she couldn't look at Christine she felt like crying. "Odette, I can't tell you what to do but please follow your heart. Who do you love and want to spend the rest of your life with even if it means giving up your passion and always having to look over your shoulder worried if he is there." Christine told her. "Is that what happened to you?" Odette asked. "For awhile till we heard that no one has seen or heard from him." Christine said.
