All of the dream sequence will be in italics.

They had all talked about different things for about an hour before Nadir had to leave. Something about sending a letter, but he left none the less. After he had gone things seemed to get slightly quiet for Erik was tired once agian from a hard night of composing. Decided to go to bed he excused himself from the room as Crystal lounged on a chair that sat in the corner of his music room.

Changing his clothes Erik then layed in his bed and stretched out some. He wondered if he should take off his mask. His door was locked, so he decided it wouldn't matter. Slipping the cold porcelain mask from his face and setting it to his bedside he yawned. His eyes slowly closed and dreams over came him as he went into a deep sleep.

Erik smiled as he snapepd the rope shut around Piangi's neck. A snapping sound could be heard and he knew he was dead. Taking his cape he walked out as his cue was preformed. The audience seemed to notice the change for there was a light murmer then some gasps as some of them remembered his voice from when he had talked before during the preformance of Faust.

Walking out on stage he saw the lovely Christine. So beautiful and radiant. They began to sing their duet. His voice vibrated throughout the opera house sending chills down everyones backs. Walking close to Christine he began to pace around her slowly. This made Christine's voice slightly waver as she began to sing.

Erik tossed and turned in his sleep as his dream continued. Crystal was hearing the rustle of the sheets and the murmers comming from Erik's room and stopped as she was passing his door to listen. Making sure her savior was alright. "Christine..." She heard him say in a painful tone and there was some more murmers she couldn't understand.

Erik's hands ran down Christine's body softly as she sang now with passion and no fear for her partner in this duet. The crowd was stunned speachless by the way their voices clashed as they both sang together. Their voices erupting in a passionate plea as they both assended onto the platform above the trap door.

He began to sing softly as she ran her hands across his face. He bursted out in an eruption of emotion and passion as she ripped his mask off.

Erik sat up in bed screaming his face drenched in sweat and tears streamed down his face as he remembered the painful dream recalling his horrible past. Sobbing silently now he heard the pounding on the door and put his mask on instantly worried she'd somehow manage to burst through at any moment. "Erik! Erik! Are you okay?" Crystal screamed worried.

Erik stood and ran over to the door and composed himself before answering. As he opened the door Crystal was running twards the door in an attempt to break it down and she bumped right into him. They both tumbled to the ground and she was now laying ontop of him. Their faces inches apart. Her hands upon his chest. His hands had also grapsed her waist on the way down trying to catch her and they were both blushing now. 'Why would he blush because a horrible disfigured being like me was laying ontop of him. I would think he'd be disgusted.' Crystal thought as she finally composed herself and got up helping the still blushing Erik up.

She looked at him concerned now. "What happened Erik?" She asked and he shook his head sighing.

"Just reliving my past." He said and sat back o nthe bed. "Did I wake you?"

Crystal shook her head and say back him and he looked at her slightly shocked. "No. I was heading to the room you let me sleep in when I heard you murmering and tossing in your sleep. I decided to wait until you stopped to make sure you were okay but it kept getting worse then you were yelling and i freaked out. I didn't know what to do so i tried to bust in." She said and he nodded looking at his feet. "What were you dreaming of?"

Erik tensed and shook his head some. "Like you, that's a question I can not answer." He said and she patted his sholder some then smiled.

He looked up to see her smiling at him and he looked back at her curiously. "Well, If your okay now I think we should both go to bed. If you need me my door will be unlocked, just come in and wake me." She said and got up leaving the room.

Erik felt something weird in the pit of his stomach stir as he watched her smile. It was something he hadn't felt since he had first layed eyes on Christine. He tried to shake this feeling away. This couldn't be love! Could it?
