What Now?

Ludivine's breath came in short, panicked gasps.
"But... you killed her... for something so trivial as looking at your
face! I wasn't even going to remove the mask in the first place, but
your face couldn't be THAT horrible... could it?" Ludivine turned and
ran towards the entrance to the lair, stopping as the gate fell
before her.

"My face was burned by acid a long time ago." now, you are never to
leave here again." Said the Phantom.

OOC: well, now you know that it was a birth defect, not a burn, so...
yeah.

"NO!" Ludivine shouted. "There has to be another way out - there just
has to be!" she frantically began running around the lair, attempting
to find a way out. When she found none, she sat on the stairs leading
into the water and cried. "I didn't mean to... I swear... I wasn't
going to..."

"That's ok if you want to get away from me" said the phantom. As the
gate slowly opened the phantom said "GO"

Ludivine quickly rose and ran out of the lair. However, when she
reached the gate, she turned and looked at the Phantom. when she saw
him, crouched in a corner and crying, she realized just how defeated
he was and made her way back to him. She stood in front of him,
waiting for him to notice her.

"I thought you were leaving, you hate me and I love you. Said the
phantom. "Everyone will be missing you".

Ludivine crouched down and placed her hand on his, gasping at the
coolness of his touch. Nevertheless, she raised his head and gazed
into his eyes.
"My Angel... I do not hate you. It's just... you frighten me when you
react that way to something I was not even going to do. If you truly
do not wish for me to see your face, then I will be content to never
see it. I... I don't want to go. They... they would not understand."

"I love it when you touch my face" said the phantom. The gate slowly
closed when he kissed her.

OOC: Hmmm... Signifying that she will never leave? ;)

Ludivine gasped as she was once again swept away by the Phantom's
touch. Before she knew it, they were in the swan-shaped bed.

OOC again: Do YOU like it when I touch your face?
