Chapter 8
Erik swiftly swooped up Ally and got her and himself out of the boat. He looked at Ally. A little smile was on her face and her head was resting on his chest. Her touch made him itch with desire. He quickly walked over to the guestroom and gently laid Ally down and tucked her in the bed.
His eyes rested on her cheek and he mindlessly caressed it. He began to have second thoughts about bringing her here. What was he thinking? He should have heeded Madame Giry's warnings. He should have never gotten involved with her in the first place.
He cursed under his breath for being so stupid. This beautiful girl would never want him, a hideous demon from the deepest depths of hell to be her guardian angel. Hot tears trickled down his face but he quickly brushed them away.
Crying and pity never got him anywhere. What was the difference now? He shook his head. As soon as she wakes up, I'll take her back and just forget it ever happened. He glanced at her. Why did she make him feel this way? He wanted to hate her for making him feel this way but couldn't.
He felt a need to protect this girl and to care for her. He resisted placing a kiss on her soft lips and whispered in her ear," Help me make the music of the night." He let down the curtains and walked in the direction of the organ.
I am your Angel Of Music...
Come to me, Angel of Music
Ally woke up, still hearing the voice singing in her head. Where was she? She tried to recall what happened last night. Was it a dream or was it really real? Dressed in a casual shirt and pitch black pants, a man came to her through the mirror.
He wore a cape and... a mask, she realized. She wondered why he had to wear a mask. What was he trying to conceal? So many questions, so little answers. She pondered on. He had led her through a hallway and she had sang to him.
Me! Ally thought, flabbergasted by her sudden burst of song. When she sang higher and higher, her spirit wanted to soar high into the sky. She had never felt so alive. She had broken free of her shy shell that she had builded ever since her father died.
She sang with so much emotion flowing through her and then the rest was blank. She vaguely remembered being carried. She blinked, surprised by her sudden surroundings. She was lying in a cozy swan bed with lace curtains around her.
She saw a rope above her and pulled it. As the curtains rose, she jumped out of bed and put on her slippers. She heard music playing from outside the room and wandered, following it. She saw a man playing the organ softly, engrossed in it. She didnt want to bother him but had no choice.
"Hello? Angel," Ally called out to him. She wasuncertain what to call this strange man. She saw him go rigid and then slowly turned around to face her. He looked just like from last night.
He had striking green eyes, she noticed. "Good morning, mon ange" he whispered."Good morning," Ally replied. There was a moment of awkward silence. It became too unbearable especially with this man watching her intently.
Ally cleared her throat. "What is your name?" she asked. The man broke his gaze, startled. After a few moments, he cautiously walked over to her. Ally's breath got caught in her throat at being so close to him. "Erik," he said simply.
"Erik," she repeated, testing the word in her mouth. She smiled, causing Erik to smile too. "A very nice name for an angel," Ally said, "My name is Ally." Erik's smile faded away." "I have a confession to make, Ally" he said carefully.
" I am not really your guardian angel and I'm truly sorry for bringing you here." He averted his eyes from her gaze and didn't see the disapointment in her eyes. Ally reached up and laid a hand on Erik's cheek and caressed it.
Erik closed his eyes and savored her touch. "What if I wanted it you to be?" Ally, then, realized what she was doing and hastily took her hand away, blushing furiously.
Erik opened his eyes and laughed softly. " Come we must return. The others will be looking for you." He took her hand and led her into the boat. Ally's heart pounded in her chest by his gentle touch. He started paddling away, leaving his home lonely and empty once again.
