Chapter 8
Erik's Past Revealed At Last

"Well Star you see...The reason about my obsession is that.... That...the phantom...he was..." Erik was interrupted.

"Your father?..." said Star knowing what he was about to say.

"Yes..how did you know. I haven't told anyone." said Erik

"I knew it...the pictures....the mask....the ring...the rose bush....Everything fell into place. And that's how I knew. I may not be able to spell or write but I can put 1 and 1 together to get 2." said Star looking at him.

Erik looked at star and said "Well I guess I can tell you the whole thing now...You see My father he stayed under ground and later he discovered the fountain of youth, something people have been looking for forever. Christine...my mother came back to him after leaving Raoul realizing what a mistake it was to leave the one man who cared about her. When she returned he gave her a drink of the fountain's water and she became her teenage self again. They were married and then I came along...and only a few month's later Raoul came back and he....he..." Erik pounded his fist upon his bed. "He killed them both! I was but a child and he killed them slaughtered them before my eyes.... Had it not been for Sara and Paul he would have killed me too...Sara was the one who took me away from that place before Raoul could kill me...Paul is the one who grabbed the bush the mask and the ring for me to remember them by. Later on Raoul stole me away from them while I was with a baby-sitter. He took me and as Paul restrained me Sara was given the strength of My mother and father and she still poses it incase I ever need help, The last thing my parents said...I'll never forget it.... was..."We'll always love you and be watching you" were thier last words...I can never forget those words. Not in a million years....I'll return to Paris someday....I'll visit the site of my parents death...Never shall I forget who I am." Said Erik now in tears.

"Erik...I...I will always remember your story...I will never leave you now..." Said Star hugging him gently as she knew the words to Angel of Music and Sang a little for him."Angel, I hear you, Speak, I listen; Stay by my side, guide me Angel, my soul was weak, Forgive me Enter at last, Master..." sang star as both Erik and herself fell asleep.
