A/N: Sorry this is so short! We shall be getting into the fun stuff soon! Ok, has anyone noticed that Raoul, although sweet, it not the brightest? Like, the next day after Christine told him about the angel of music, and she has gone missing, he realizes "Christine spoke of an angel!" Not to mention that after she told him about the angel, he hears him in her room going "I am your angel of music" and he goes..."who is that in there!" lol. Aww, poor Raoul:)

Chapter 13: Mother & Little Giry

Erik's eyes fluttered open to find Christine's sleeping form next to him, her head on his chest. He stroked her cheek twice, and she opened her eyes and smiled.

"How are you feeling, dear?" Erik thought about it for a second, and happily realized that he felt much better, and he told her so. She grinned and stood up to get him some food and water, praying to God that he regains his strength.

Madame Giry locked the door after the two young blondes, and stepped back and sighed. What kind of trouble had Christine gotten herself into with the Phantom now? The woman gracefully tiptoed, as a lifelong ballerina as herself does naturally, over to the practice bar that lined the wall. She ran her long bony fingers over the familiar smooth wood surface before grasping it firmly in both hands, and jerking swiftly upward. The bar lifted, and as Madame Giry pulled hard to the left, the wall slid from it's place to reveal a passageway. The woman in black lit a torch and hastily disappeared behind the wall, closing it behind her.
Erik devoured the bread and fruit Christine had given him, and drank many glasses of water.

"You are getting very much rest, and you seem to be regaining strength," Christine stated delighted, and Erik smiled faintly. After a few moments, he spoke.

"Did you go back upstairs while I was asleep?" he asked. Christine bit her lip and looked away.

"Well, I actually ... haven't been up at all, I didn't want to leave you."

"Christine! Monsieur!" A voice intervened.

"What are you doing here?" Erik's tone had changed from the loving one he had used with Christine to one that was dry and cold. Mother Giry didn't seem to notice. Come to think of it, Erik used that tone with everyone except Christine.

"Well monsieur, had you not noticed that our prima donna has been missing for days?" She eyed their position, laying down against each other on his bed. " And ... it seems you have." Christine sat up, embarrassed. Erik remained silent, so Christine spoke.

"Madame, he is ill!"

Meg nervously took a deep breath before hesitantly knocking on her mothers door. The woman opened it immediately and without a word, ushered the ballerina quickly inside. Meg sighed, and began speaking, rushed and confused.

"Mother! Christine! Where is she? And where are you? I mean I know you are here, but before you weren't! Before you walked into the wall! I mean through it! I mean the wall was gone, you moved it and walked through! But then I tried and nothing happened, it was normal! You were gone, and then you came back through the door of the ballet room as if you had never left! And -" Meg was cut off by her mother who clapped a hand over her mouth.

"Goodness, child! I thought I taught you better than to let your imagination take you away as such! Really, girl, quit your incessant daydreaming! And Christine, Christine is well, she will not be attending ballet for a time though." Meg opened her mouth, bewildered, to respond, but words failed her so she just left.

A/N: Reviewers own.

mrsgerrybutler13: Raoul and Meg have a little thing, but Christine and Erik are the focus. My theory is Raoul looks like a girl and he is kind of ditsy but he is kind and really does love Christine. So he gets Meg, because their hair is done by the same person. lol. btw, why is my name on your screen name? I am Mrs. Gerry Butler. hehe. :D
