A few hours later, I shifted slightly so Raoul's head was on my chest and not my shoulder. We had spent a few hours alone...in my bed……I believe you get the idea. I sigh with some content and stroked his hair a little. He was rather attractive when he was sleeping. But that was about the only time. I watched him sleep for a little while longer before I gently moved his head to the pillows so I could get up.

I swung my feet over the bed and leaned over grabbing my pants. Standing up, I put my pants on and started looking for my shirt. When Raoul spoke, I jumped, forgetting for a moment he was here.

"Erik? What you doing?" His voice was slurred, and he was missing some words due to being mostly asleep. He rolled over, watching me moving around. "Need help?" He yawned sleepily.

"No. I'm looking for my –Ah! Here it is!" I held up the shirt to show him what I was looking for, then tossed his clothes to him. "Get up when your fully awake. Those two fools who run my theater will be missing you."

"Must I go back? It's comfy here. Care to join me?" He lifted the blanket in invitation with a sleepy grin.

I considered for amoment, then layed down beside him. "Only for a few moments, then you leave." I had to give him SOME orders. I tugged him to me again with a sigh. "Your just like a little child." I grumbled irritably, getting a grin from him.

A half hour later, Raoul slipped out from the mirror in Christines room and went off to find her. He had to act like he was just off doing something important, so he brought with him a diamond necklace.

"Christine! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" He pulled her into a hug, drawing a jealous growl from me, which someone heared.

"What was that?" One of the actresses, Elise, I think, turned around to look in my direction. "Didn't anyone else here that?" I clamped a hand to my mouth. If I was going to stalk Raoul, I must be much more silent. I started backing off.

Elise, the foolish girl, walked close and close to the stairs I was hiding behind. Luckily for her, and myself, Mme. Giry walked right infront of her. "Pardon. You must have heard me. I was moving something and it scraped the floor." Mme. Giry smiled at her.

"But… I swear I heard someone moving, or groaning, perhaps. Are you certain no ones…-" She stopped short and Mme. Giry blocked her way again.

This was my chance. I slipped into the secret door at the side of the stairs and walked underneath them to about where Raoul was standing. To let him know I was there, I tapped the floor twice under him, causing him to jump.

"Raoul? I heard a noise." Christine moved in closer to him, wrapping her arms around his left arm. This I could see through a crack in the floor. I settled for merely glowering at her for the moment. Tonight however….I would make her practice till she coughed blood!

"It was nothing. A mouse, wandering under the floor bord's, I'm sure." He put his free, left arm around her, but didn't pull her close. "I was nothing." He whispered in her ear, causing her to giggle.

"Alright, I believe you."

She kissed him.

I stuck a needle through her slipper into her foot.

Serve her right. Only I was allowed to touch, or kiss, Raoul!
