Erik sat there and watch as Danielle slept, in his bed. He watched her chest rise and fall, with diffculty. He looked at her beautiful pale skin, her hair was like little brown silk with curls. 'How could on hurt someone of such beauty' he thought as he changed her cloth on her head. He took his thumb and traced her jaw line. He closed his eyes and remembered his childhood, there was only one person who cared, was he the only one that care for this girl.
He got up from where he sat, walked to his paino , and started playing softly, He sat ther for over an hour compossing a song. Then he heard a soft voice "Where is this place?" He quickly turned around and saw Danielle, leaning against the wall to keep from falling. Erik stood up and went to help her, "You should be resting!" he said and led her back to the bed. She frowned at him and laid back down. "I am tired of laying down she wined. Erik tried to hide his smile and sat down beside her.
Danielle looked up at the man in the mask, "Why did you save me?" Erik looked down at his hands. "Well..I couldn't just leave you there, by the time someone found you, you would be dead." then he looked up at her "To tell you the truth I was going to leave you, but then I thought, what if that was me." Danielle looked deeply into his sad eyes. " Who has done to you?" He asked her. She closed her eyes "It was accident, I tripped and fell. Thats all." she said. Erik looked at her in disbelief, but he didn't want to force her to tell him.
"You still didn't tell me where I am." she said with a half smile. The man in the mask smiled at the girl "You are in the basement of the Opera House." She looked at him with amazment "The Opera House?" Erik nodded his head "Yes! Have you ever been to an opera?" Danielle shook her head "No, I haven't. I haven't had enough mo... well enough time." Erik looked at her with great interest. "When your better I'll take you." she had a suprised look on her face, "You would do that, for me." He nodded his head and smiled "Of course."
Erik saw Danielle shiver, he stood up and found an other blanket for her, he put the covers over top of her. "Your family. They will be worried about?" Sadness came over her face "I don't think they will be, maybe my brother, but either then that they won't be worried." He looked at her with a crocked eyebrow. "You get some rest." he said then left the room. Danielle nodded her head as he left.
The next morning, Erik brought Danielle a tray of food, that Miss Giry had prepared. He walked into the bed room and placed the tray on the bedside table, he stood there for a few minute and watched her sleep. Then turned at walked out, he sat at his paino and started playing and singing to himself.
I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.
Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
I don't know what's going on
Can't work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me?
I just can't believe my eyes
You look at me as though
You couldn't bare to lose me.
Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.
Now no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing!
Danielle heard singing and got out of bed and walk silently out of the room. She stood there and listened to him sing. When he finished the song, he felt a someone behind him. He turned around and saw Danielle standing there with a smile on her face. He stood up and went to her "How are you feeling this morning?" she looked at him and sighed "I'm better then last night." He smiled, "Well, thats good. But you still need more rest." Danielle looked at the ground. "Well, I was thinking, well would we be able to go to the Opera tonight." Erik smiled and sighed "Yes, I will take you tonight, but you must promise me you won't tire yourself out." Danielle nodded her head and went back to the bed room to rest.
