Chapter 26: Worth Beyond Beauty
The resolution that Christine used to justify her feelings for Raoul quickly crumbled the instant she heard his voice. Christine could never find it in her to fear that harsh and angry voice, though. No, it was the idea that he would leave that terrified her.
Enter at last Master….
From his side of the mirror, Erik gazed upon his student. Dressed in white from head to toe, she looked like a beautiful flower, one that he had meticulously cared for until she stood blossomed before him. He had never seen anything more beautiful.
I am your Angel of Music…
Finally, he stood before her. In Christine's dreams, her angel was an unearthly handsome being with a halo and wings, but this dark figure was nothing like what she imagined. With a pristine, white mask in place, she couldn't even see his face, but this was the man who had given her her life back after the crippling loss of her father, who had been her constant companion all these years.
Come to me strange angel….
Though it was her beauty that captivated him at first, the sound of her voice calling to him entranced Erik like nothing else. From the smile that lit her face, to the sound of her song, his heart pounded with such love he knew would never fade. This kind of love never died.
I am your Angel of Music…
No, she thought.
Come to your Angel of Music….
Her worth is beyond her beauty.
