Scene 7: Preparations

Erik paced the floor waiting for Christine. Why did it always take her so long to get ready? He had been waiting for hours it

seemed when she finally came out. She looked amazing, but wait didn't she always? (A/N: and for that I will always hate her.)

She wore a very elegant gown with her hair pulled up in a very elegant bun. Erik gawked for a second and then broke the silence

between them.

"You look very nice." he said looking down.

"So do you." Christine said looking at him hoping he would look up.

There was another awkward silence between them. This time Christine broke it.

"So shall we go? I just want to make this short."

"Well then let's get going."

Erik held his arm out for Christine and lead her to the edge of the lake where he helped her on the boat carefully so she did

not get anything on her beautiful gown, and then they left.

When they reached the suface Christine was delighted. It had been days since she had seen daylight. But to her it was even

better because Erik was with her. Erik on the other hand was not as delighted as Christine to be on the streets of Paris. But

he didn't mind as long as Christine was with him. Erik helped Christine into the carriage and got in after her. Then he pulled

the hood of his cloak on, he didn't want to be seen. They were both silent the during the carriage ride. Then Raoul's house

came into view. Erik could hear Christine take a sharp breath in and let it out in a "whoosh", and he gave a little sigh himself.

Erik got out first and helped Christine out. Christine just stood outside of the carriage for a moment, Erik started to walk

ahead and stopped when Christine didn't walk with him. He turned around.

"Are you alright?" he asked noticing the look on her face.

"Yes." she lied. She felt like she needed to do this, but she knew that some thing bad was going to come of it.
