Hello my readers, I think this is becoming a weekly thing, I guess it's like twice a week I update, so I guess this will be the new schedule. So, yeah…..

And in other news, there are only a couple of chapters left in this story! And my new story will be coming up soon.

So enough of my jabbering mouth, lets get to Chapter 21 of The Phantom wasn't Alone!

Erik's point of View

It has been at lest a few hours since my poor Sara has been missing. And I was so worried for her. I sat there in the lobby, Ramin, still drunk, was answering questions from an officer and Phillip walked around the room impatiently.

My life was not even complete without Sara, and my heart could not bare another moment just sitting here while the authorities' waist their time talking to witnesses. It was ridiculous; I was the only one who has witnessed the happening!

"And what did you see, sir?'' one of the officers asked Ramin, who was still a little drunk.

I was truly getting impatient, there officers are asking a drunk what he saw!

"Nothing, he didn't see anything, you idiot!" I shouted with anger.

"Sir, please, calm down, we must ask everyone in case of unknown witnesses."

"Hell with 'unknown witnesses'!" Phillip shouted behind me. "Where did that man take my fiancé?!"

"Sir, calm down—"

"No, stop fooling around and actually do your job, or I will personally have to report a letter to your commander!"

I stared at Phillip with surprise, he was furious! I would have never believed that he loved my daughter that much; this proves his love for Sara.

"Alight, sir." The officer gave a frustrated sigh. "We will do what we can." And with that, the officer walked out of the lobby, and I didn't know if I was the only one, but I thought I saw that officer smile with amusement, which made my anger grow.

"This is just absurd. These men don't seem to care about what happens to Sara!" I began. "We will just have to send a report to the commander about his officer's poor work."

"It's no use…" Phillip whispered. He seemed to calm down a nit and sat down at a couch. He looked down at the floor and covered his face with his hands. "They'll never find her, or the man who took her."

"Yes we will, we just need to do this ourselves." I replied with a frown.

"But…what if we never find her? What if there is no way to ever start the search for her?"

"There will be a way."

"Maybe…you should call for her…." Ramin said with a drunken tone.

Phillip and I looked at each other then at Ramin.

"Brother," Philip said as he went up to him to get him up. "Maybe you should go to bed."

"Shut up!...I'm…not tired!"

"Yeah, okay, I'll just help you up the stairs and up to your room."

"I can do it my—self!"

"No you can't."

Ramin's eyes were getting a bit heavy and he spoke in a tired whisper. "Shut….up…"

At that moment, Phillip and I helped the drunken fool up the hotel stairs and took him to his room. He was a bit…how should I say this? Annoying! And I insisted on taking him to his room and just dropping him dead on the floor. Phillip nodded in agreement and we did as I said.

This was going to a long night, but not for me, I sneaked out of my room and went on and searched for Sara, no one but me, knew Sara as well as I did. And I knew that it has to do with that bastard, Antonio!

Sara's Point of View

Many painful hours went by. I lay down on the red velvet bed, naked under a thin black blanket, covered in my tears. I made no sudden move, for Antonio was there, lying beside me, and he held me close to him. I could feel his bear body beside mine. His warm, bare body that he used to make love to me. I felt disgusting, no longer a virgin, and not anyone's love. I have hoped to become Phillip's, but now, I was Antonio's.

I held the cover close to me, and listened to the silence that embraced the room.

"Mine…" Antonio whispered into my ear. "Mine…."

He rubbed his lips against my neck and kissed it after. Something was wrong with his kiss. I felt his teeth, they seemed different, and then I remembered my dream. He had the bright red eyes and now his teeth felt different… was he a demon?!

I quickly sat up straight and backed away on the bed, knowing that Antonio was going to grab my arm to stop me.

"What is wrong, m' dear? Did you not enjoy making love to me?" he cooed and smiled, showing his teeth. When he smiled, I froze, his teeth, well not all teeth, were sharp and long.

"What are you?!" I shouted.

"Someone who loves you…" he answered.

"No, you don't love me, only my body. But your teeth…they are…"

"Unique, amazing, sharp, stunning?"

"Frightening…"

He smiled. "Frightening? M' dear, they are what keep me alive…"

"How?!" I asked with tears going down my eyes. I was truly scared of this boy, he has changed so much; blue eyes to red, tanned skin to light skin, and finally, teeth to fangs. He crawled to me and held me close to his chest, I tried to get him away from me, but he resisted my push.

"I use them to suck blood from bodies…." He put his hand on my cheek and moved it away from his face for my neck to face him. His lips touched my skin, which made chills go down my spine. "Especially yours."

"No, get away from me!" I pushed him away and jumped off the bed to the door. When I opened it, I ran out the door and heard the hollers of Antonio! I ran and ran, never really knowing where I was going. I turned to a couple of corners and halls, before I bumped into another person. When I looked up at this person, I was in shock. Antonio…

I can never escape this man, no matter what I do.

"You think it was that easy to run from me?!"

He took my arm and led me down a long hallway and approached a black door. He opened it and threw me inside with only a black cover covering me like a dress.

"You will learn how to get use to staying here and being my little play mate. You are lucky that I'm not biting you, m' dear, but when I do, I will make it as painful as what you have experienced with me in the room! Are we clear?!"

I nodded, I have never been so afraid in my life. Was this my life?

And there is chapter 21! I hope you'd enjoyed it. Yeah, sorry for the short chapter; I am hoping that I will have more time to write longer ones. i think that it would be fun to have a question for you guys. Here is your question…

What do you thing Antonio is?

Alright, leave a review to give me your answer and see if you guys are correct!

Have a nice day!
