A/N Okay, I'm really getting into this story, so I'm going to write more! Yay! I think this might be a happy chapter, I think, I'm not sure….
Chapter Seven: Reunited At Last
Lotte sat watching the other girls rehearse, something she would never do again. Her ankle had healed over the last three months, but Erik had disappeared. She wondered if it had to do with her or Christine. Probably Christine, she thought bitterly. She shook her head and wondered off to the chapel to pray for her parents souls and for Sabriel.
Erik looked at the little girl smiling up at him. Three months he'd spent searching for this five year old little angel, Lotte had been right this child was adorable, he smiled back her.
"When can I see Angel?" She asked.
"As soon we find her." Her blonde hair was the only part of her appearance that differed from Lotte's, they had the same grey eyes. He took her hand as they walked through the passages under the Opera house.
Lotte looked up when she felt a shy touch on her shoulder.
"Sabriel!" She pulled her little sister into her arms and began to sob. "Oh my god! I've been so worried! What happened? Where have you been? Oh, I searched for you, I truly did. Oh , Sabriel, I've been ever so worried…." She looked up Erik. "You truly are an Angel, thank you, so very much. How can I ever repay you?"
"Your love is enough, this is my repayment for your compassion. You do not owe me anything."
Erik felt a foreign emotion sweeping him as he saw the gratitude and happiness in Lotte's eyes. Then suddenly it hit him, he loved her. He would do anything for her, his life would be incomplete without her in it. He didn't know what to do, so as Sabriel and Lotte reunited he left, to be alone and think.
"Oh Angel, I have missed you. What did those men do to you?"
"Terrible things, Sabriel, things I hope you never have to know."
"Oh, they hit me a lot, and called me bad names, but I got away. I tried to find you and Maman and Papa, but I couldn't. Then some lady came told me you were all dead, but here you are sister. Where are Maman and Papa?"
"Oh, Sabriel, they are gone, they never got out of the house, I'm terribly sorry." Lotte held her sister close as she cried.
"Angel, why did Erik call you Lotte?"
"Because that is who I am here. They call me Lotte and I have never spoken to them, but it is time I had a few words with Christine."
A/N: Yay! Erik realized his feelings! Lotte is going to 'have a few words with Christine' and Lotte has her little sister back! Yay!
