A/N~ Thank you to all who reviewed my first chapter. Please keep up the
reviews!
After the final curtain hit the ground for the last time, Zidler approached the love birds, to warn them of the grave danger they has gotten into. "Christian, here is fifty percent of the takings from tonight. Take them and find a safe place for you and Satine, far from here. Protect yourselves well, the duke will be looking for you." Zidler handed the money over to the couple and walked away.
Satine grabbed a hold of Christian's hand and ran with him to her dressing room. She had tears of joy and of fear in her eyes, "Christian.. I was pushing you away because of the duke.. You see the duke he. he wants to kill you! I know he will try to find me Christian. I know he will... And when he does, I fear he might hurt you!" Satine burst into tears and collapsed in a heap on the floor. She gasped for air in between her silent, pained, sobs. Christian kneeled next to her on the ground, "Satine, my love, we decided to run, Zidler told us to run, so run we shall! We will make a living somewhere else. Singing, or acting, what ever your heart desires! We will be free from the duke for good! Remember, come what may?"
Christian helped pack Satine's clothes and jewels from her dressing room. They said their farewells and left the red mill, Satine's home, the Moulin Rouge. This time though, they would not return. They headed for Christian's apartment to collect his things, including the drafts of his story, his book on love, the story of Satine and him.
"Christian, maybe later, could I read what you have written?" Satine half pleaded and asked him at the same time. Christian glanced across at the beautiful, ex-courtesan. "Of course, it is a story of us, and it wouldn't be right if you couldn't!" Just as he finished speaking her saw a sparkle of happiness shining in her eyes. It was the most beautiful thing he had seen all his life.
They walked half the night to the train station where they would depart Paris, once and for all. They hopped on the train headed north and followed it to the end. They repeated this process three, maybe four times, just to ensure their safety.
It was in the early hours of the morning that they finally got a off the train. The sun was just peeping over a hill in the distance, and the birds were awakening the people with their song. "Where are we going to stay? We only have the money Zidler gave us and we surely can't survive on that alone!" Satine brought a sense of reality to Christian. He sat down on a seat at the station for a moment, "We will look for a house here, just something small until we get back on our own two feet again. Then, tomorrow we will go and look for a part time job just for some money for food."
They looked for the whole day at homes and apartment. The one's they saw were either too expensive or extremely dirty and rat infested. That was until the saw a little building by a pond; its name was printed neatly on a plaque, "The Little Red Inn." They rushed to the door, just to see a lady, who looked in her mid thirties putting a sign in the window.
Chapter 3: do they get to stay at the Little Red Inn? What does the sign in the window say?
