Chapter 6

Once Erik reached his labyrinth, he started thinking up a plan. He started to walk over to the music room when he heard a noise. He turned around to see that it was just Ayesha. He kneeled down and she ran to him. Erik picked her up and started to pet her.

"At least I know I'll always have you to love me," Erik whispered in Ayesha's ear. He put her down and started to walk to the music room once again. He sat down on the organ's bench and begin to think up a song for his Angel. Just right now, nothing came to his mind. All he could think about is a plan to get rid of that Brandon guy. Then he heard voices coming from Christine's room, but now is Paige's. He got up and walked down the long hall and reached his secret spot: the mirror. He looked out to see Paige and Heather walking into Paige's room. Erik looked over to the nightstand to see a dozen of roses sitting there for Paige. He noticed that Paige and Heather saw them too.

"I wonder who their from," Heather said.

"I don't know, but I know that their beautiful," Paige remarked. But not as beautiful as you Erik thought.

"Oo, Paige has a secret admirer," Heather chanted. Paige glared at her.

"Shut up Heather," Paige shot back. Heather then noticed something.

"Look, the black ribbon," Heather said pointing to the ribbon. It then donned on Paige on who her secret admirer was.

"Its from Erik," Paige said. Paige started to smile at thought of him liking her.

"You better make sure not to have an affair," Heather said jokingly. I won't Paige thought.

"I won't," Paige said still smiling. Erik noticed her smiling and started to smile himself. Those roses did the trick Erik thought, maybe now she'll start to like/love me.

"So, the Phantom of the Opera is your secret admirer?" Heather asked Paige just to make sure she heard correct.

"Yes he is," Paige answered. If he's way more cuter/hotter than Andre, then consider him, the Phantom, taken by me Heather thought jokingly. Heather started to giggle about thinking that. Paige just gave her a confused look.

"What are you laughing about?" Paige asked Heather confused.

"Nothing, I just thought of something," Heather answered, starting to calm down.

"Oh, ok," Paige said. Heather left the room to go to her room. The Phantom likes me Paige thought.

"I can't believe that Erik likes me," Paige said. I don't like you…I love you Erik thought.

Erik couldn't seem to stop thinking about Paige. Hopefully I'm not going to get obsessed with her Erik thought, like I was with Christine, but if I am, I am. Erik thought again. No I can't because then she will leave me Erik rethought.

Paige walked over to her bed and sat down. She couldn't wait for tomorrow because she was going to go and search for the Phantom aka her Angel. My Angel Paige thought. She started to smile at the fact that she thought that. Paige remembered the mirror thingy. She looked over at the mirror and wondered if he was in there. She had the feeling that he was, but she didn't want to chance anything.

Paige picked a rose out of the vase and studied it for awhile.

"Why would he like me?" Paige asked herself. What is there to make him like me? Paige thought. I really can't imagine him liking me, an ordinary girl she thought. She couldn't help herself, but ask out loud a question.

"Why do you like me?" Paige asked, hoping to get an answer from the mirror. Silent. I know your in there Paige thought.

Because your beautiful and charming and everything else that I wanted in Christine, but I was wrong about her, or any other girl I liked Erik thought answering her question. He wanted to answer so bad, but didn't want to risk anything.

"Erik, I know your in the mirror. I can feel your presence," Paige said. She kept her eyes on the mirror, but knew it was hopeless because she couldn't see in. She turned her attention back to the rose that she was holding. She fingered the ribbon and untied the ribbon. Once she did, she could smell the scent of a cologne which must have been his. She brought the ribbon closer to her nose and could really smell it. She could've smelt it for days, weeks, months, and years and never get tried of it.

"Why won't you answer me, Erik?" Paige asked hoping he would answer. Silence again. Paige let out a sigh. She placed the rose back in the vase and stood up. She glanced at the mirror one last time and headed out the door. Why couldn't I answer her? Erik asked himself. He heard the door close and knew that she left for supper. So then he got up from the floor and left as well. I will talk to you tomorrow my dear Erik thought. He couldn't wait to talk to her again tomorrow for he was going to ask her to have dinner with him that night. He hoped that she would say yes. Please say yes Erik thought.

After that thought, he was already in his labyrinth. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep so he went to his study to read.

Paige walked into the dinning room to see Heather and Andre sitting there eating.

"Ah, you've finally joined us," Andre remarked. Don't talk to me Paige threatened in her mind. Heather looked at Paige and smiled. Heather leaned over to whisper in Paige's ear.

"So did you get to talk to him?" Heather asked whispering.

"No. He wouldn't talk to me," Paige replied.

Heather and Paige ate quickly so they could go back to Paige's room to see if he was still there. When they got there, Paige walked over to the door and opened it carefully. No one was there. Paige gestured Heather to follow her. They didn't know it, but Andre snuck into the room.

"And where are you two girls going?" asked Andre. Heather turned around.

"No where," Heather lied.

"Get out of there now," Andre gestured the girls out of the mirror. He bid them goodnight and was off. The girls went to bed dreaming of the Phantom. Paige couldn't wait to go looking for the Phantom the next day. They didn't know it, but Erik was at the mirror right then and was watching them sleep. He planned out everything for the next day and was off again.
