Scene 14: Turn Your Face Away From the Darkness of My Day
Erik left Christine to change, and while he waited for the 20 minutes, he worked on his lastest work. Christine came out in dry cloths and her hair pulled up the best that she could, although it wasn't all that great. Erik smiled and sighed at the same time.
"What took you so long?" he asked still smiling.
"It's hard to get wet cloths off, and even harder to pull up this hair." she said pointing to her hair,"when it's wet."
"Well now that you are done, we have things to disscuss." he said his face going back to it's normal serious look.
"Dare I ask what you want to dissucss?" Christine asked not smiling either.
"Christine, I love you, and always will. But I am not completely convinced that you want to be here with me. You don't do much except read and sleep, you don't eat, you don't sing, you don't even look at me. Something is wrong." Erik said the last words turning away from Christine.
"Erik, please don't do this. I really do love you. I really want to stay here with you, forever. You make me so..so..you make me feel so ..happy I guess you could say. There is no other place in the world that I would rather be, than here with you, always." Christine turned to walk from the room, but Erik wasn't done.
"Stay right where you are," these words startled Christine, for Erik turned around after he told her to stop and couldn't have seen her start to leave the room, for she was silent. "Christine, don't think that I don't want you here with me, because I really do, but you can't live like this. It's not worth it, living down here with out sunlight. With out freash air, you can't live like this." Erik said standing up heading towards Christine. She had tears streaming down her cheeks and Erik put her arms around her with her arms still curled up next to her body.
"Don't do this," She said hitting her closed fist against his chest. "Don't make me loose everything, don't make me loose you to. I couldn't bare to go on with out you. First Raoul, now you. Don't do this." She was now screaming and hitting her fist against his chest with all her might not meaning to, but Erik did not notice. Christine voice got soft as she said these last words. "I can't do it, I can't do it." then her legs gave away form underneath her, Erik could tell something wasn't right. So he carried her into the bedroom, laid her down, and began to sing to her.
Night time sharpens
lightens your sensations
darkness lifts
and wakes imagination
Sliently the senses
abandon their defenses
do you wish to go back to the light
do you stay with the Music of the Night
Slowly gently
night unfulrs it's slpendor
grasp it sense it
tremulous and tender
turn your face away
from the darkness of my day
turn your thoughts to
the warm and pleasant light
for I compose the Music of the Night
Close your eyes
you've surrendered to your darkness dreams
but you miss the life you knew before
close yoyr eyes
I can make you spirit soar
and you can live
the life you knew before.
Softly gently
music shall surround you
hear it feel it
closing around you
hear me and believe me
words can be deceiving
Do you trust the darkness of the light
dare you trust the Music of the Night
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
take all thoughts of the life you knew before
close you eyes and let music set you free
only then can you stay here with me
Floating falling
sweet intoxication
touch me trust me
savour each sensation
let your dream begin
if you dream is to give in
to the power of the music that I write
the power of the Music of the Night
Stay here help my music take it's flight
we can make the music of the night.
Christine was asleep when Erik had laid her on the bed, but she was now awake smiling, but very pale. Erik had laid by her and took her in his arms, when she was alseep, Erik laid there watching her sleep, stroking her soft curls, and every once and a while resting his head and her shoulder or lightly laying his head on hers. He soon slipped out from underneath her and went to work on his Opera.
(If any one of you make fun of my song, so help me, I will still post, but I might have to hurt who ever makes fun of the song. I now Erik would do better but, it's all I could do, so you all have to live with it. Sorry. Please R&R for if my demands are ignored, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur.)
