CHAPTER 5
"You are going to be safe, I promise." Christian told Diana as they walked down the streets back to their homes. He was holding her suitcase in one hand and his other arm was wrapped around her shoulders. They walked up the stairs and he opened the door to her room. The two of them walked in and sat on her bed. Diana was pale and very out of it yet at the same time she was always on alert. Christian's hand rubbed her back to try to help calm her down. "I won't let anyone hurt you. Trust me with this, please."
She looked over at him. "I trust you." She spoke quietly. She then turned her head to the side looked out the window with a lost stare.
Christian sighed and pulled her close to him and rocked back and forth. He took a deep breath to try and hold back tears as he said a prayer. "Dear God," He thought. "How could you do this to me? What did I do wrong? You took Satine from me and then my best friend Toulouse. Please don't even think of taking Diana from me. Please God. It seems that she is all I have."
He held on to her for dear life. His thoughts where inturupted by someone knocking on the door. The hairs on the back of Christian's neck stood up and he could feel her body tense.
"Oh my God." She said shaking.
"Don't-Don't wor-Don't Worry." He stuttered. "I-I'll get the door."
Whoever was there knocked on the door yet again. Christian kissed her head, stood up and slowly walked to the door. He took a deep breath before he opened it. His hand was the on the knob, violently shaking. He closed his eyes and opened it quickly. There stood a young girl.
"May I help you?" Christian asked, his nerves calming.
"My name is Belle. I am here to see Diana."
"Diana isn't seeing anyone at the moment."
"Is she okay? I am a friend of hers back at London and I needed to tell her that."
"Belle!" Diana said running to the door. "It's okay Christian. Like she said, she is a friend. What are you doing here, I thought you left."
"Diana, they are here."
"What?" Diana said looking at Belle then at Christian. Christian put his arm around here and pulled her close. "Here?"
"I saw them at a coffee shop not too far from here. It won't be long until they find you." She paused. "Wait, I thought you were leaving?"
"I was but I-I decided to stay."
"Are you mad? They are going to kill you."
"No!" Diana yelled, her eyes filling with tears but she tried to hold them back. "I am not afraid of them. Christian loves me and I feel safe with him. I came here to be safe and I feel safe. They are not going to controll my life. I can't and I will not let that happen." She sternly stated.
"Diana, you know I care about you. You are my best friend and I don't want to see you get hurt. Please run, just for a little bit. You can come back when they believe that aren't here. You can pick up where you left off but for now just run." She paused for a moment taking a deep breath and running her fingers through her blonde hair. "Why can't you run away from here?"
"Because she doesn't want to." Christian almost yelled. "She wants to stay here." He said more softly.
"She wants to be with you. So why don't you both get out of here?"
Diana and Christian looked at each other.
"If you won't leave each other, then run away together. Don't put her life on the line here." Belle stated.
"She has a point." Diana said to Christian. "Maybe we both should go. If I stay I know I won't be able to sleep at night."
"Okay." He cupped her face in her hands. "We'll go." He kissed her softly. "We'll leave."
"Well I will leave you two love birds alone. Contact me when you reach the end of the road okay Diana?" Belle gave her friend a hug.
"I promise I will."
"Good, now get out of here. I don't want to get a letter saying that you are dead."
"You won't."

Christian and Diana ran to the trainstation as quickly as they could to catch the next train into Germany. From there they were headed to Italy and as far south as they could get. Once they got on the train they both started laughing. When the train began to move away from Paris, they looked out the window and said good-bye. "You're leaving everything behind." Diana told Christian.
"Not completely. They are coming with us. The memories are with me."
They gave each other a hug and a kiss and talked about their new life. They were both a little nervous. Diana told Christian stories about her childhood, growing up in a rich family. She told him what happened the day her parents where killed. "Well, I had missed horseback ridding lessons one day so I was too make it up. That morning, I went to my lessons for the hour and half and when I returned home I called out 'mum.I'm home.' And there was no answer. Not thinking much of it I went to my room and got changed. I went back downstairs and into the family room. There they were. My mum was on the couch and my father was on the floor infront of the fire place. There was a note o the floor saying that they were not finished and that they wouldn't be finished until they got me. Everyone told me to run and I ran to the only place where I thought I could be safe." She explained.
"So you came to the Moulin Rouge."
"Exactly." She said taking his hand. "You're book changed my life Christian. It showed me that it is possible that someone could care for you as much as you cared for them. Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love. The bohemians sure did know how to live. I wanted to be free like that. I wanted that kind of life. It just seemed so much more interesting than living in some big house having people taking care of you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Thank you for showing me that there is more to life than money."
They had reached Germany and got information about they next train to Italy. They got tickets for a train that went to Rome and they waited at the station the two hours before the train left. When it was time for boarding, they grabbed their bags and got ready for the long train ride.
The next day they finally reached the end of the road. They were on the coast of Italy in a small town called Paola. They rented a small home on the second floor of a building. The town wasn't too different than back in France. Diana studied Italian when she was a child so she knew enough to communicate. "My butler was Italian." She told him. "He also inherited money from a very distant relative a couple years back so he ran out of there as quickly as he could." She added with a laugh. They exchanged their money for Italian money and decided to go out and get some food. They didn't get much, just some bread, cheese and meats. They walked to the ocean, sat on the sand and ate. They wre both wrapped around a thick dark brown blanket. It was very windy outside and very cold.
It was almost like they were sixteen again. They sat there laughing, telling jokes and stories. They then got up and chased each other on the beach. They were just celabrating life. They were both thankful for being alive. Everything seemed to be falling into place. For the first time in months Diana felt completely safe and for the first time in years, Christian felt alive. He was living life again and he forgot how much he loved it. It was the greatest feeling in the world to be able to just let go. They ran over to the peir and walked along that for a while. "I'll race you to the other side." Christian challanged.
"You're on." Diana said starting to run. Christian was behind her and soon cought up only to get aheasd of her. "It's not easy running in a long dress!" Diana laughing tring to run faster. Christian won and waited at the end for her.
"You loose." He said leaning against the post with a wide grin on his face.
"I declare a rematch. You were the dress next time." She lauged.
"Oh ha-ha."
"You know, you're not as charming as you think you are." She walked over to him.
"I'm not?"
"Oh no." She sighed and took a step back. "I don't think you cut it." She joked.
"Well I think that I am a very charming and."
"You are so full of yourself!" She laughed with him. But the laugter was cut short. The post that Christian was leaning on was old and broke causing him to fall back. "CHRISTIAN!" Diana yelled as she saw him fall into the waters. It was getting dark out and it was cloudy to begin with anyway and the waters were the opposite of calm. "CHRISTIAN!" She yelled. "Oh my God." She said to herself looking around to see if she saw anyone who could help. There was no one. Of course they were the only two fools who would go to the beach in the dead of winter. Diana took off her jacket and jumped in after him. When she surfaced she took a deep breath. The shock of the water was incredible. It was like ice water. "Oh this is cold." She looked around for Christian but couldn't find him. She turneded around and sat his hands. She went under and swam as fast as she could to reach him. Every now and then she was pulled under by the currents but she found her way back to the surface to breathe. She got to him and his lips were very blue and his teeth were clattering. She took him and they swam to the shore. She sat him on the stones and told him to sit there. She ran back up the peir and grabbed her jacket. It was her fathers so it fit him fine. "Are you okay?" She asked putting her arm around him. He looked over at her and nodded.
"God that water is cold." He said looking over the ocean.
"Just a little." She down at herself. "I am going to get the blanket. I think it's best if we go home and get changed before we get sick." She helped Christian up and they walked as quickly as the could. Diana wrapped the blanket around her to warm her up. When they got to there new home they went to their rooms and got changed.
When Diana was finished she walked down the small hallways and turned the right into the wooden kitchen. Christian was trying to make a cup of coffee. "Would you like some?" He offered. Diana shook her head no and sat down at the table.
"That was interesting." She said looking at him.
"Thank you." He said. "For saving me. I don't-I don't know how to swim."
"I wasn't going to just leave you in the water like that."
"You could have." He joked walking over to the table and sitting next to her. "But seriously, thank you. I owe you my life."
"No you don't."
Christian leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek.
And this was the beinging of a whole new life and a whole new story. Whole new people and a whole lot of emotions. There is more than what meets and the eye and they begin to learn that there is more to life then what the eye can see. Everything they once new about each other are about to change.
~*~*~*~This was very short I know. Sorry about that but I am working on the next chapter. Things are going to be moving quickly so try to keep up! Also, you know how in the movie MOULIN ROUGE Christians theme was NATURE BOY? "There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy." Ring a bell? Well if you look back to the very beginging of the story you will see that I have a theme song for Diana! JOY!~*~*~*~
