Chapter 10:Meeting the Angel

Christie couldn't have been asleep very long when she was awaken once again by the most beautiful music she had heard. But this time she could hear a very distance voice singing with the music. She sat up in her bed and listened for a minute before she decided that she wanted to see who was playing this music. Christie got out of bed, went to her mirror, looked at herself for a moment before she decided she didn't have time to fiddle with her hair, grabbed a sweatshirt, and left, still in her pajamas. (A/N: I love pj's, I wish I could wear mine everywhere. I think that they are so awesome so I think that she should go out in hers.) Christie followed what she thought was the direction of the music, when she came to the trailer known as the "Phantom's" trailer. The music seemed to be coming from this trailer. Christie went up to the door and tried the door knob, it was either locked or stuck. So Christie left and headed for home. As she got farther away from the trailer the music faded, but as she got closer to home the music seemed to get louder. She didn't go home, she followed the music that seemed to be coming from the oppisite direction. She came to a large metal tube that ran under the road, at first she was afraid to go in, but then figured she had come this far. So she carefully entered the underground tunnel, wishing she had a flashlight. Christie stepped inside, but it wasn't dry like she had expected, she had stepped in about three and a half of water. Then it hit her, that was why there was a little river running outside of the tunnel. (A/N: I've always liked being a ditz, so I figure, why not make one of my characters a ditz? Plus it makes her a little more Christine-ish.) This little river ran into the bigger one outside of the tunnel. The music was still playing and it was getting really loud. Christie thought she knew the song that was being played but couldn't say for sure, it sounded very familiar though. She tripped twice before reaching her pocket to find her cellphone which had a light on it. She pulled it out and used it as a flashlight. The tunnel seemed to go on forever, she walked about 10 yards when she saw a light at the end.

"It must be where the music is coming from." Christie thought to herself.

Christie walked about another 30 feet, and stopped, she had come to a cave at the end of the tunnel. She looked around it was beautiful. There were candles and black fabric everywhere. She looked around till she came to a man sitting at a organ. He was dressed all in black, and was playing the organ, and from what Christie could tell, was singing as well. Christie couldn't help herself, she started walking towards the strange man. The music seemed to call to her. She finally realized what she was doing, stopped herself, and hid behind a wall. She continued to listen to the music when her cell phone went off. She frantically searched for it. She had put it in her pocket but couldn't remember which one. She found it and looked at the caller ID on it. It said, "Home" Megan must have been trying to find out where she was. The music stopped, and did not continue, Christie sat still, not breathing, not moving, hoping that this man would not find her. She heard the sound of the water being stirred and knew she was going to be found. If hse ran, then the man would still find her, if she held still there was still a chance that he would not find her. Her plan did not work. The man came out of the opening, looked to the side that Christie was not on, and then looked to the side Christie was on. Christie thought that he might be a good looking man, but could not tell, the lighting was to bad, and he, for some strange odd reason, was wearing a mask. It was a white porcelain, and covered the left side of his face. He starred at Christie for a small moment, then he rounded on her.

"Who are you?"

"I'm sorry that I disturbed you, and I will be leaving now." Christie said turning.

"No you won't." the man said grabbing her wrist and dragging her into the cave.

There was a small lake in the center of the cave that came from the river that ran into the tube. The lake was not as shallow as the river and went up to Christie chest. The man had a strong grip and was starting to hurt Christie. He pulled her ashore, and threw her down on the dirt ground.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He asked. Christie rubbed her wrist and did not answer. "Answer me." Christie dare not anger him anymore.

"My name is Christie, and I heard you music, I started to follow it to a trailer in the college trailer court, and when I could not get in, I started following the music to this spot.." Christie said not looking at him. "Was that you who was playing?" Christie asked, although she knew the answer already.

"Yes it was." The man answered.

"Where did you learn to play like that." Christie asked now looking up at him.

"That does not matter, what matters is you getting out of here and going home." He was tall, not only beacuse Christie was on the ground, but because he was only wet up to his waist, where as Christie was wet up to her chest, and Christie was no shortie. He had dark hair, and Christie thought that he had blue eyes, but could not see his eyes through the white mask, which for some reason, Christie could not take her eyes off of. He was a good looking man from what Christie could tell.

"What is your name?" Christie asked staring at him still. The man was silent for a moment.

"Eminique." he said looking Christie up and down.

Christie started to get up to leave, she would come back some time, when it was light. (A/N: Eminiques name is pronouced "Em-i-nick" for all those who were confused on that.) She started to leave when Eminique stopped her.

"Wait, what are you really doing here?" He asked his voice becoming more calm.

"I told you, except I didn't tell you that I felt sort of...well.. drawn to your music. Where did you learn that song, and how did you learn to play like that?" Christie asked once again.

"I don't know where I learned the song, I just sort of picked it up on my travels. I brought it home with me and I started to sort of revise it, I made it better from what I heard. And I taught myself how to play the organ."

Christie walked back to Eminique and the two talked for about an hour, when Christie looked at her cellphone to see what time it was. She got up and told Eminique she had to leave, but she would like to come back and visit him sometime. Eminique told her she was welcome to come anytime, it wasn't like he was going anywhere. Christie stood up and Eminique stood up to. She walked up to him and gave him a hug. Eminique put one arm around her and Christie pulled away. She started to go through the small lake when Eminique stopped her.

"Let me take you across." He said leading her to a boat.

He helped her in the boat and propeled it forward. They came to the end of the tunnel and Eminique helped her out. Then without a word, turned the boat around and disapeared into the darkness. Christie walked home thinking about what had just happened. She could have sworn that it was a dream, but knew that it wasn't. Eminique also thought of what had happened when he was on his way home. He had never in his whole life told anyone as much as he had just told Christie in that one hour. He felt that she knew what he was had gone through, and what he was going through. He flet closer to her than anyone else, even his parents. Christie got home to find Megan sitting on the couch.

"Where were you? Do you realize that it's now 3:30 in the moring?" she asked standing up.

"Out, I didn't feel well, so I took a walk." Christie said lying, she didn't feel it was right to tell her about following the strange music to a strange place, then talking for an hour with a strange man that she hardly knew.

"Why didn't you answer your cell phone?" Megan asked walking towards her.

"I had it on silent so I didn't wake anyone up, my cell phone is really loud."

Megan still didn't look convinced. But she dropped her hands to the side, and headed for bed. Christie sat down on the couch and thought about Ryan, she tried to decide whether or not she wanted to tell him about Eminique, she decided not to tell anyone for. For a while at least. She started to stand up when Joesph came in, he was in a bath robe and his hair was all messed up. (A/N: Oh no, he has...sex hair.) Christie sat back down and Josph sat down on the couch next to the one Christie was on.

"Christie, Megan was really worried about you tonight. We don't mind if your out at night. It's not like we can stop you, I just wish you would keep some way for us to get a hold of you. You and Megan start school in less than a week, so please don't keep Megan up anymore, keep your cellphone with you and keep iton, even if it is on vibrate."

Christie nodded and Josph got up and went to bed. Christie went the oppisite way to her room, she layed down in her bed and tried to fall asleep, she was tired, but sleep and her wern't the best of friends. So she layed there for another hour or so, thinking of Ryan and Eminique, (A/N: How can you even compare the two?) when sleep finally came to her.
