Erik

I felt useless, I was stuck in this chair and felt absolutely useless. I couldn't do anything. And because of this stupid chair I am separated from Christine. Her chambers are upstairs while I'm stuck down here, but perhaps when I am out of this thing, and able to walk again I will be moved to a room which would be nearer to Her's. I turned my head to see something I had surprisingly missed, a bookcase. I wheeled a bit closer so I could choose a book to read, carefully running a finger over each of the leather covers and inhaling the scent of the material I finally came across one which caught my eye; La Belle Et La Bete

I pulled the book out of its place and placed it on my lap before opening it and beginning to read.

as the door creaked open my head slowly rose from the pages to see a maid standing with a smile on her face.

"Come along little one, Dinner is served."

I nodded and placed the book aside, and followed closely behind Her. as I entered the room and wheeled to my place everyone sat down and started talking, I looked at Christine and smiled but She quickly looked away and began talking with the small Boy. I sharply turned my head away and looked down at the table, why did she react in such a way?

The food was served a few minutes later, everyone except from me started eating, then the Comte began to speak.

"So, my Boy are you excited For tomorrow."

"Yes Father, Very."

the Comte then turned to his younger Son.

"See Raoul, your Brother is now a true De Chagny."

Raoul then spoke.

"Father, will I join the Navy one day?"

"Of course you will, it's a tradition.?"

there was almost no more exchanged words between anyone as dinner ended.

but as my plate was being taken from me I looked up to see the young Boy staring at me, when he saw me look up he glared then began to talk to christine again whilst laughing like they had known eachother for years. when we were told we could leave the table I was the first to leave, I wheeled to just outside the dining room so I could wait for Christine, but instead out came Raoul.

"Who are you waiting for?" he asked.

"Christine" I replied.

"Don't bother, you are a Gypsy, Crippled freak..I don't understand why she would speak to you"

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists attempting not to shout at Him. I started to wheel away then he began to taunt me.

"are you scared, freak?"

again I continued to my room but then, I was pushed off of the chair and onto the floor. I heard a laugh before the boy ran upstairs.

I groaned in pain as my ankle hit the floor, I tried to haul my upper body up and turn but as I did saw Her.

"Erik what have you done?!" She shouted whilst running over.

She tried to grab my arm but I pushed her away.

"Don't touch me!" I growled as I brought the rest of my body on the chair. I began to wheel away to my room and as I entered I slammed the door behind me. I closed my eyes and leaned back on the chair attempting to calm myself down.

And there I was back in my cage, but there was something strange about this place, I was inside and looking over a table, I grasped the bars tightly and moves closer there laying upon it was a figure, it was Christine I shouted her name as loud as I could, but no reaction...that's when I heard the sound of someone walking and there stood my master, he was standing over Christine's body, he shook his head and turned to me.

"You did this!" He growled

I fell back at his words onto the cold floor of the cage

"You killed her, you little bastard!" He shouted this time

He unlocked the cage as the lock fell to the floor with a heavy clang, I started to back up until I reached the edge of my cage, he then ran to me, whip in hand as he rose it above his head and slammed it on my torso I screamed in agony as he repeatedly done it until my .body was nothing more than a bloody pulp.

I jolted awake,my heartbeat slowly returning to normal the room shrouded in darkness, I felt ashamed of myself, the way I had spoken to Christine was unacceptable, she was only trying to help. In the morning I will apologise to her.
