It's Not over Now, the Music of the Night

Chapter 4

So Rachel and Erik got together, long story short…ok I'll tell you! So Erik started following Rachel, stalking her like he once did to Christine.

"I did not!" Erik yelled at the sky. Sorry, Erik. You are still stalking Rachel though.

"Fine. Be that way." I will. Now back to the story. So Erik was stalking Rachel…start stalking, Erik!

"Sorry, Rachel, the one not in this story right now, but the one typing what I'm saying right now." Quick thinking, Erik, but you should stop reading off the notes I gave you. -Erik laughs and then rips up notes causing me to slap him and then goes back to the computer while he rubs his sore and gets back to his script- Erik started stalking Rachel everywhere and she didn't mind at all…actually I would, but I'm 22 there where as I'm actually 10 years younger in real life…which is odd. Oh well, so whenever he could Erik would appear in front of her and take her into a kiss. When they heard someone coming Erik would disappear without a trace and the only way Rachel knew he was even there was the kiss he had left tingling on her lips. Rachel…I'm such a sap….soon fell head over heels in love with Erik. One day she had to take a boat trip back to America in order to get some extra stuff she had left there. Right now they were in Erik's lair at the moment. Rachel was saying goodbye.

"Erik, I'll be back in a few days. Don't be sad," Rachel said hugging him. Erik hugged her back, but wouldn't let her go.

"I'll miss you," he said still not letting her go. Rachel managed to look him in the face and smiled.

"When I get back I'll take you out to dinner, my treat. I don't care what you look like, Erik. You are my love. The only man I have ever loved and nothing will change that, Erik. I love you, Erik," Rachel said, not noticing the tear slip down her cheek. She had a hunch (like the hunch back of Notre Dom…hee hee…not really…) that she wouldn't be coming back. She had a thought that something might happen because of what happened last night. She had a dream that her boat sunk on her way home to Paris and that she died. She dreamed that Erik cried for many days and finally decided to blame it on the manager and untied Estee. Then she and Erik created chaos through the whole Opera House.

Erik smiled at her and wiped away her tear. "I love you too, Rachel," he whispered in her ear. Rachel smiled and then frowned when her dream came back into her mind. "What's wrong, Rachel?" Erik said with great concern.

"Erik, if I don't come back…" Rachel trailed off when Erik let go of her and took some steps back. He looked hurt as if she was trying to tell him that she really didn't love him and that she was just making him look like a fool. Much like Christine did. Rachel noticed this and quickly hugged Erik again. She rested her head on his chest and sobbed. "I didn't mean it like that, Erik," Rachel said wiping away her tears. Erik was silent and Rachel waited for an answer.

"What do you mean, Rachel?" he asked after a short time of awkward silence. Rachel sighed and kissed his cheek.

"I mean if the boat should sink and I don't make it…" Erik put a finger to her lips to stop her.

"Please don't think like that, Rachel. It's as if you know it's going to sink. Please don't talk like that," Erik said taking her in a hug again. Rachel gave him a quick, chaste, yet sweet, magical kiss before pulling away. Erik smiled at her and Rachel smiled back.

"I won't talk like that, Erik, but I must be off now or I'll miss the boat. Goodbye, Erik. I love you," Rachel said knowing it would be the last time she would ever see him again. Erik was a little confused at why she would say I love after saying goodbye, but mentally shrugged it off.

"I love you too, Rachel. Goodbye, see you in a few days," Erik said with a big smile. Rachel smiled back, but her eyes grew watery. She quickly turned and left Erik's lair so he wouldn't see her tears. Erik watched her leave with love and confusion in his eyes. Erik suddenly felt his heart break as if he knew that would be the last time he would ever see Rachel. A few days later Erik waited at the dock waiting for Rachel's return.

Suddenly a man called out, "I just got news that the boat coming in today from America sunk last and there were no survivors, but one. A man who was found on the icy waters by frozen and almost dead. No one else survived. Sorry, folks, about your loved ones." Erik's eyes filled with tears as he left the dock and continued back to the Opera house. For days his eyes were filled with nothing, but tears (and mine because I died in my own story) as he thought.

"She knew this was going to happen, but she still went," Erik told himself, "Why, Rachel, why? Why did you leave me?" One day Erik realized what he must do. He untied Estee and him and Estee reeked havoc on all of the Opera House. Finally came the day when Erik died and he went up to Heaven to be reunited with Rachel. They lived…actually died…happily ever after…in Heaven of course.

THE END!
Me: What do you think? Sad? I think so too. I can't believe I died in my own story…

Erik: You wrote it, duh! I want a hug now. Why did you have to die 22-year old Rachel!

Me: I don't exist as a 22-year old, but I do as a 12-year old…at least right now…idiot. Erik, are you gay?

Erik: No, why? Just because I got a manicure and got my nails painted a pattern of light pink and purple doesn't mean I'm gay! -shows Rachel his gorgeous, painted, finger nails-

Me: -admires fingernails and then raises eyebrow in a very Snapelike fashion-

Severus: -appears from nowhere and tries to wax off raised eyebrow, but fails-

Me: -speaks after tying Severus up with a rope and tossing into a closet- -speaks through keyhole into the closet- Why did you try to wax my raised eyebrow off?

Severus: -from closet- Because you raised it the way I do! -sticks tongue out, though no one can see-

Me: -laughs evilly at Severus' state and laughs normally because of his answer- Your loss, Severus. Now back to everyone else. Review, you filthy, ungrateful…I mean wonderful people!
