A/N Hey guys! This is the first fan fic that I have posted, although it is not the first I have written. I am still getting used to the system...so there will probably be a few mixups...knowing me. Lol. I hope you guys like it. I just wanted to crawl in Erik's mind and sit there as an observer. It was fun although it made me cry...I'm such a girl...:). This is based off the 2004 ALW movie. snif...poor wittle ewik... The chapters are most often on the shorter side, longer ones will probably come soon. Please...please...please review.
Disclaimer. I own nothing. Except Erik's little heart.
Chapter One- Awakening
She was there; she was his. Her eyes stared up into his own, reflecting the haunting of both innocence and desire. He slowly reached out to touch the soft form of her cheek, only able to hear the heavy pulse that bled from his heart. Her lips parted to allow the escape of a long withheld breath and she leaned into his caress. His bare fingers collided with the soft cream of her skin. Then she was gone. The tangible figure he longed to be real slid through his trembling fingers and he fought back the onslaught of rage. He opened his eyes, staring at the dark arches of his cave. Furious, he kicked back the blankets and pounded his fist into the soft black satin. Once again his dream was broken and he was only left with the isolation and solitude he had come to despise. Tears stung his eyes, burning hot wet paths into his skin as he lay still, giving into silence.

I have to see her, he decided as he fastened his heavy black cape around his neck. It could wait no longer. Her success at tonight's performance would secure any gratitude she might feel for him. It was tonight he would finally reveal himself to her, a task he never thought he would ever perform…to anyone.
He wiggled his fingers into tight leather gloves, the midnight color adding to the dark shadows that made up his ensemble. A small grin softened the intensity of his face as he stepped into his boat. Maybe tonight his dream would finally become the reality he yearned for.
