Chapter 6: Begging And Pleading

Christine was beginning to regret her decision not to tell Meg where she was going...

The skirt of Christie's dress was pulled up to her waist and The Phantom's hands were on her thighs. He kissed her forcefully once more.

"Stop! Stop!" she cried. "You can't do this!"

One of his hands moved deftly from her thigh to a lower position.

"Oh, I think your body disagrees," he hissed.

"No!"

"You're damp, Christine..."

"No! It doesn't give you the right!" she screamed.

"I think it does," he said, glaring at her as he moved his hand in circular motions of pleasure on her feminine mound. "Your body wants me, Christine. You want me."

Maybe her body did want him. That came as no surprise. But her mind didn't.

Not like this.

"No! Get off!" she yelled, squirming beneath him.

Erik grunted. It was hard to maintain his position and hold her down at the same time. She kicked with her legs and connected in a painful area.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Erik roared furiously. "You witch!"

Christine scrambled out of the bed and began to run down the path next to the river. Erik regained his senses and darted after her. She ran faster, but it wasn't fast enough. Erik grabbed her by the arm and spun her around.

"Let go!" Christine wailed, tears cornering her eyes.

"You had no qualms when I touched you before," Erik said, looking deeply into her eyes. "You used to welcome by touch in the night. Do you remember?"

"I thought you were an angel then," she whispered.

"An angel?" he scoffed. "An angel in hell? If you truly believed that, you were more mad than I was."

"Don't mock me," Christine said angrily.

"Don't be stupid," he countered.

"Let me go."

Erik looked into her eyes, thinking it over. A sadness crossed his features. With a sigh, he released her wrist.

"Go," he mumbled. "If that is what you wish, you may go..."

Christine stared at him, not believing what had happened. She stood still, watching him.

"GO!" he screamed. "Get out!"

She turned tail and ran. As she made her way through the corridors, she could hear his cries echo through the night.

Chapter 7: Busted

Note - Okay, I know this chapter didn't turn out the way a lot of you wanted it to. Don't worry: your needs will be fulfilled by the end of the story. Just be patient. I think it'll be worth the wait. ;)
