RBandDJ: you were over tired. I've had it before, very fun. It makes you kinda crazy. LOL. Glad you liked the chapter. Here is the update for you.

NeoQueenSolaris-Cosmos: I really like your story! The witch idea was great. Anywayz, thanks for reviewing my story. I'm sure you'll be getting as many reviews as I get.

PersonageoftheUnderverse: Funny review. I think that would take a while though. You wanted to find out what happens next so come on and read the chapter already! LOL.

mrs. malfoy: Wow, glad to hear you like it. Well, this chapter actually might have fluff in it! I've got some good ideas that I bet you'll like. Thanks for reviewing!

phantomlover22: Yes, she was gonna say what you think she was gonna say. I said in the beginning of the story that Talia was in love with Erik's character while Brianna was in love with Raouls. Her love for Erik grew stronger within the past week and a half. I know it's confusing but you will just have to wait and see for yourself.

Okay, that's the last of them. The last chapter was pretty sad. This one will start off with Erik going to…well, I wouldn't want to give it away so just go and read for yourselves.

Chapter Six: Is Killing The Answer? No!

Erik didn't unlock the girls' door. In fact, he didn't even go and see them for over a week. He knew they were alright because they had their magical bag with them and for the occasional banging on the door and pleas to let them out. At first, he felt bad for locking them up and making them prisoners, but as time went by, he thought it was for the best for him not to make any friends. He soon began ignoring them and went about with his usual activities before they came. One day, he sat down at the organ and was about to compose some new music when he heard the banging start again. He sighed in aggravation. It has been weeks since he played his organ and now it will have to wait again for the lack of concentration.

"Fine, Erik! You do what you want! We give up!" he heard Tal shout from behind their bedroom door. Everything went quiet once again and Erik started to compose his new creation moments after. When he was done, he smiled to himself at the work he just completed. Now it was time to get ready for a visitor.

(Two days later)

"Hey, Tal?" Brianna asked wearily.

"Yeah, Bri?" she responded in the same tone of voice.

"Do you think Erik will ever let us go?"

"I don't know, Brianna, I truly don't know." Both girls sighed heavily and stared blankly at random things in the room. They stayed like that for at least an hour until Tal decided to break the silence. "Okay, I'm bored once again. Erik kept us in here for at least ten days and he hasn't even come to see us. Do you think we upset him that much?"

"I don't think so. I think he just hates us and is doing this to just get us out of the way."

"But don't you remember when we chased him around when we had too much candy. He was happy to be with us then. It actually seemed he enjoyed our company."

"True, but you never know with Erik," Bri said leaning against the door. "Hey, do you hear that?" she asked, putting her ear against the door.

"Hear what?" Tal asked confused.

"Listen, someone is singing. It's a girl voice." Tal went over to the door and also put her ear against it.

"It's Christine! Today is the day Erik brought Christine down to the lair!" she said with excitement. "Oh my geez, Erik is singing now! Wow, he has such a beautiful voice," she said in awe.

"Hello, Tal, do you forget he is the one who locked us up in here?" Bri practically shouted flinging her arms about.

"I know that, but, I can still love him, right?"

"Wrong! Tal don't you see what he's done. We're freaking prisoners of his and you still love him!" Brianna grabbed hold of Talia's shoulders and shook her violently.

"Okay, number one, never do that again," Tal said, taking her sisters hands off of her. "Number two, yes, we are his prisoners, but I still think he has some kindness. And number three, he let us stay, didn't he? It's not like he's going to kill us."

"Yet! I bet he'll do it one night when we're sleeping!"

"Brianna, what has gotten into you. I thought we liked Erik. I thought we would be friends with him no matter what happened. Didn't we say that when we were at our spot a few years ago. How we wished we could meet him and if we did we would be nothing but friendly?"

"Your right. I have no idea what came over me. Hey, the singing stopped. Christine must have passed out by now."

"Probably. Do you want to do something?"

"Sure, how 'bout we watch a movie?"

"Alright, um…Moulin Rouge okay with you?"

"Fine with me!" Both girls sat down on their bed and watched their movie. Two hours went by when they heard someone shouting. They stopped their movie and ran to the door and listened. The shouting voice belonged to Erik.

"Christine, why did you go and pull off his mask?" Tal whined. "Come on Bri, let's get ready for bed. I'm tired." They grabbed their pajamas and changed for bed. Tal was wearing a white tank top with blue green pajama pants and Bri was wearing a black tank top with red pajama pants. They hopped into bed once they were done and immediately fell asleep.

(Meanwhile)

Erik took Christine back up to the Opera House. He was still enraged about her removing his mask. He couldn't understand why someone would do such a thing. He walked to his room and on his way he heard a door shut from inside the girls' room. He was in such a bad mood he was ready to take it out on anyone. He took a key out of his pocket and placed it into the door of their room. There was a small 'click' and he opened the door. He walked inside the room and over to the bed, his hand revealing a small dagger. Talia was sleeping with one leg under the sheets and the other above, her face turned towards him. Brianna was no where in sight so he thought she was in the bathroom. He took a hand and grasped one of Talia's shoulders and raised the dagger above her sleeping form. Her skin was so soft and warm underneath his hands. She had a tired look upon her face with tear streaks trailing down her pale cheeks. He was about to bring the dagger down upon her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He couldn't kill her. His rage was taking over him once again. Talia and Brianna did nothing to deserve to die. He went to move his hand off her shoulder when something was caught around it. It was a silver chain. He grasped the chain and raised it, noticing there was a small heart-shaped locket on it. He placed the dagger on the bed and opened the locket. Inside there was a picture of Talia on one side and on the other a picture of himself. He stared at it confused, then closed it when he heard a door behind him open. He grabbed the dagger off of the bed but before he could turn around, a bar of soap met with the back side of his head.

"Don't you dare hurt her!" Brianna screamed. At the sound of her sisters' voice, Talia's eyes shot open. The first thing she saw was Erik rubbing the back of his head with a dagger raised over her head. She gasped and her eyes grew wider. Erik looked down at Talia when he heard her gasp and saw her eyes grow wide. He followed her gaze to his dagger and he quickly hid behind his back. She backed away and fell off the edge of the bed. She shrieked and landed on her back. Erik quickly ran to the other side of the bed and saw Talia sit up. When she saw him she backed into the wall and shield her face with her arms.

"Erik, please don't!" Talia pleaded. She felt hands lower her arms down and saw Erik kneeling in front of her.

"Talia, please don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you or your sister."

"But, the dagger…" she trailed off. Erik gave a deep sigh.

"I was in a rage about something that had nothing to do with you, yet I was about to take it out on you guys. I shouldn't have let my temper get the best of me. It was a mistake that the dagger was over you when you woke up. Brianna came out of the bathroom and I thought it was someone else so I grabbed the dagger but was hit in the back of the head with a bar of soap before I could turn to see who it was. I didn't intend on…killing you then."

"Then? You were going to kill me before I woke up?" she asked fearful.

"Yes, but I couldn't bring myself to. You've been nothing but friendly to me and all I've done was take your free will away and lock you in a room. Honestly, I really would enjoy becoming friends with you two."

"You would?" Bri asked surprised. He turned towards her and nodded. He felt arms wrap around his waist and looked down to see Talia hugging him.

"We forgive you, Erik," Tal said, letting go and smiling at him. He returned the smile and stood up offering a hand to Tal. She took it without hesitation and when she let go he made his way for the door.

"Uh, Erik?" Tal asked.

"Yes?" he said turning to look at them.

"When will you come and see us again? Please don't leave us in here for another week alone." He turned away from them for a second, then faced Tal, looking her in the eye.

"You two are no longer my prisoners. You may go when you wish," he said hesitantly.

"Oh Erik! Really, you're letting us go?" Bri asked excited. He only nodded and said,

"I bring you to the surface when you are ready to leave."

"But, we have no where else to go! We never even been to Paris in our own time, how will we find our way around! We could get lost, starve, or worse, we could d-"

"Enough, Brianna! If Erik wants us to leave, then we will leave," Tal said sternly, but with a hint of sadness in her voice. "We will be ready in a few minutes, Erik."

"Talia, I never said I wanted you to leave. I just thought after what had happened you would want to leave here as soon as you could."

"No! We want to stay here with you. We wouldn't leave you for something as little as that. You were going to kill us, so what? It's not like it doesn't happen to us everyday." Erik raised his visible eyebrow in amusement.

"Tal, it doesn't happen to us everyday. This was the first time it happened to us unless you count that time with Buster…"

"Brianna, shut up! So Erik, will you allow us to stay here out of your own free will and not by what the Authoress says?"

"Hmmm…my free will. In that case my answer is…" he said with a smile.

"Oh, come on, Erik!" Tal shouted, throwing her hands into the air.

"I think you already know the answer to that question. Of course you may stay with me. You can stay as long as you want."

"Yay!" Both girls squealed in unison and ran to him embracing him tightly.

"Uh, girls…can't breath," Erik managed to say.

"Oops, sorry!" Bri said letting go. Tal held on for a moment longer, then let go when she heard her sister clear her throat. She shot her an evil glare for interrupting her closeness to Erik but soon just shrugged it off.

"Okay, I'm tired again. Thank you, Erik and goodnight. We will see you tomorrow!" Bri said pushing a bewildered Erik out the door.

"Alright, goodnight." Bri shut the door and literally jumped into bed.

"Goodnight, Erik!" Tal shouted while her sister held her down from running to the door and hugging him again.

"Goodnight, Tal" she heard Erik say through the door. The sisters laid down peacefully and was about to drift to sleep when Tal sat straight up.

"Wait, Erik was actually going to kill me!"
