Crystal looked around as she went up the steps. 'What am i doing?' She thought to herself. 'God, you should have let Erik know where you were going, but it's to late. two minutes until midnight and you'll need that time to get up there in time.' She throught as she walked up the stairs seeing the door to the roof about a flight of stairs up.

Quickening her pace she ran up the steps careful not to tripover the moist steps that the humidity had layed a layer of dew over. It took her moments to reach the door. She stood there quietly. Listening. She heard his footsteps pacing beyond the door in the distance. Oviously he was getting impatient. Her hand reached for the door knob and layed on it as she took a deep breath and turned it letting the cool breeze of the autum night hit her making her shiver even under the layered dress Erik had bought her. She had made sure not to wear the beautiful black and red one he had gotten her in fear that Sebastian had plans to hurt her and might accidently get her dress dirty or ripped if she had to fight him. She had also barrowed one of Erik's masks that covered her whole face showing only her lips and eyes.

Crystal heard him before she saw the man as she closed the door quietly behind her. Leaning aginast the cold metal door she closed her eyes until she heard the footsteps approach. "You actually came. I was sure I'd have to go hunt you down." he said as she opened her eyes and she saw how near he actually was.

Sebastian placed his hands on either side of her face making her feel uncomfortable. He smiled as he saw the nervousness in her eyes and the fear that was within that. "What did you want with me." She said with a trembling voice.

Sebastian smiled his evil, yet seductive smile and intertwined his fingers in her lush black locks. Crystal was breathing hard as she felt his hands in her hair and saw the gleam in his eyes. He was pure evil, no one could deny that, but he was a powerful man in both strength and politics and he could have anything he wanted. Except her.

She pushed him away with a sudden newfound strength and glared at him. He hadn't moved much which ment his hands were still wrapped into her hair so he tugged on it making her fall to his knees. He kneed her jaw as she went down and she now layed on her side with blood seeping from her mouth and the side of her head. Growling a deep and deadly growl he kicked her in the face making her roll over onto her other side with her screaming in pain as blood poored from her bloody lip and her now bitten tounge.

Sebastian looked down at the now coughing and gagging girl and folded his arms. He decided to leave before one of the stage hands wandered up here with one of the little ballet sluts. "I hope you learnt your lesson." He said with a deep growl in his voice and walked to the door opening it. "I will contact you by letter soon." He finished before he clsoed the door behind him decending the stair case.
