Chapter 6
Christine woke up around eleven o'clock in the morning. On her bed she found another rose with a black ribbon tied on the stem. She looked around the room. At first she thought the day before was a dream. She found, in a chair next to her, Erik asleep. She moved as quietly as she could so that he wouldn't wake up.
The dungeons looked like a cave. She was on a marble floor that was surrounded by water. There were candles everywhere and an organ with papers scattered all over. Infront of the organ there was a mini model of the theater that was just above her now. There were red velvet curtains covering the walls of the cave. Next to the curtains there was a manikin that looked exactly like her. The manikin was wearing a wedding dress and a vail. On the ring finger, there was a diamond ring on the manikin's left hand. It was her old engagement ring from Raoul.
Besides all of these objects in the room there was something different about it. In the room there were some areas that were destroyed. There were areas that were burnt by the fire. The mirrors that room were all broken. There was a bunch of tools and wood. It looked like Erik was making something. Christine felt a hand on her shoulder. Christine spun around and saw Erik.
Christine said, "Erik, what are you doing here."
Erik replied, "I'm rebuilding everything in this room. When I'm done with this room, I'm going to hire a few people to rebuild our opera house."
Christine asked, "Where on earth are you getting the money to do all of this? It will coast a fortune."
Erik smiled at her when she asked this question and said, "Have you forgotten the money I was paid to do all the plays? I saved all of it incase I needed it for something."
Erik walked toward the manikin and took off the ring. He walked over to Christine and said, "I want you to-"
Before he could finish what he was going to say Christine nodded, kissed him, and hugged him. Erik held her and said, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you more than anything in the world. Say you will marry me."
Christine replied, "You stole my line." They both smiled.
