Chapter Ten: Love Never Dies
" - my daughter!"
"Giry, control yourself!"
Christine groaned in protest at the loud voices assaulting her sensitive ears.
Almost immediately, the voices went silent followed by hurried footsteps and the sound of a door closing.
Then she heard another set of footsteps making their way toward her before something wet and cold was laid across her forehead, causing her to sigh in relief.
As she drifted back into unconsciousness, the last thought on her mind was 'Who was that?'
Erik sighed as he wrung out the linen cloth that was being used to cool the young brunette's fever.
At least it was working.
Slowly, but surely, her temperature was coming down.
Now if only he could get some answers as to just what was going on, and how his Christine - for it had only taken him one look at her to know that she was indeed his lost angel - was here, alive, in his house, when he had buried her over a century earlier!
Of course, there was also the question of how to go about wooing her when she didn't even remember him or their past together...
Ah well, no matter.
He had done it last time - her suicide on the night of their engagement gala notwithstanding - and he would do it again.
After all, true love never dies - and it doesn't let the separation of death end it either.
She still loved him, Erik knew she did, he just had to make her remember their love.
And she would remember, Erik would make certain of it.
She would remember - and then they would finally be wed.
