Crystal awoke to the harsh whispers of Madame Giry and Erik in the next room. Climbing out of the bed quietly she walked over glancing out of a crack that the door had open. Seeing her two saviors conversing seriously she watched convinced that somethine was wrong. "Erik, it's getting dangerous." She heard the woman say as Erik nodded in agreement.
Erik sighed and slumped down into a chair running his hands through his thick black hair that covered his head as he sighed opening his eyes agian. "We'll tell her, wait here while i go retreive her." Erik said and walked towards Crystal's room.
She dashed over to the bed and sat down just as Erik opened the door. "Crystal, we need to speak to you about something important." He said, Madame Giry had only told him that the person that was looking for Crystal had purchased the Opera House.
Crystal got up and looked at him then nodded following him out to sit with him and Madame Giry. "Crystal, Sebastian has bought the opera house. I believe he knows you're here." She said and Erik watched as Crystal's muscles tightened involentarily.
He placed a hand on her knee making her jumps slightly then blushe noticing it was Erik's hand with him trying to comfort her. Even though he knew nothing of what had happened to her or why she was so upset. "Crystal, stay down here at all costs. Erik I want you to go out and get clothes for her: the prop room, buy them, i dont care. Just be careful. Now, both of you keep a low profile and you'll be fine. I must be going or I'll be late for the girl's practice today." She said and got up walking out of their sight through a passageway. Her footsteps deminished in sound unti lthey could be heard no more.
Erik looked over at Crystal who's body was racking with silent tears. Shivering she rubbed ehr arms with her hands and looked at Erik noticing the concerned look on hsi face. "While I'm out I will buy you some sheets to write music on." He said and stood smiling at her slightly then covering it up with a scowl. He couldn't let her know how he felt she was more than just another person he had to put up with.
Crystal watched as he left and layed down deciding to try to sleep some more as she relaxed on the cushions in the corner of the room they had been in. The silk made her skin feel like it was floating on clouds as she drifted into a deep sleep which would bring on horrible nightmares of the past.
