I know that these chapters are short, but I'll update as much as I can if people read and review.
Though it had only been two weeks, Raoul had insisted on a hurried wedding for him and Christine. Christine, however, was pained by this because she didn't think she would ever be ready to marry Raoul. Her heart still ached for Erik. And she had a plan and she hoped it would work. Instead of planning for her wedding, she was planning her escape to Erik. So, on the morning of the wedding with the help of her maids she put on her wedding gown because once she returned to Erik she would tell him she wanted to marry him right now and then muttered, "I have to go see about the food." The maids being somewhat dumb shrugged because in truth they did not care what happened to Christine.
Christine was almost running through the manor when she spotted Raoul. She couldn't let him see her, oh how could she be so thoughtless, there were many people down here. Christine ducked behind a sculpture just as Raoul and another gentleman passed by. What was she going to do? Then, alas, she saw two pastry chefs carrying the wedding cake. Christine walked along with them so the only person to see her was the two chefs who were too busy to notice her because they were making sure the cake didn't slide off the platter. As soon as they were out of sight of most of the people, Christine made a mad dash through the deserted dining room and out the back door in the kitchens. She ran to the stables and got on Nightlight, her favorite horse. She galloped through the forest, the back way the opera house.
Erik meanwhile, had given up on Christine's ever coming back, so he fled from his home in the cellars of the opera house. He realized that he wasn't safe from being caught where he was. He wanted to get closer to the de Chagny manor so at least he could see his lovely Christine. He knew that it would torture him but he didn't care at all, at least he would get to see his Christine. "My Christine, not Raoul's, that bastard." he reassured himself.
He decided to travel the way to the de Chagny manor through the markets and all the people, which was odd for him because he hated people of the light. He took his stolen horse and began to gallop through Paris all the way to the de Chagny manor.
Christine entered Erik's house under the opera house through the Rue Scribe. When she got inside she suspected Erik to be at his organ composing horrific songs of death. But he wasn't. He wasn't even there! "Erik, Erik!" Christine shouted, "I have come back for you, my love!" But, he was no where to be found. Christine sank to the cold hard ground of the cellars and wept. "Why Eric have you left your house just as I was to return to you?" With all of her heart in pieces she left the way she had come and went to prepare for her wedding with that terrible Raoul she would be spending the rest of her life with.
