Pain ripped throughChristines smallbody. Even if they had finished settingher bones, the pain still lingered. She had to find Erik. She had to tell him what happened. She crawled on her stomach using her arms for support. It felt like she was wrapped tightly in cloth from waist down. She had no skirt on but she didn't care. She just wanted to find Erik.But ithurt too much. She continued on. He would just had to except me the way i am, Christine thought.
Shewas crawling through a door whenChristine was suddenly grab by the throat.
'Sttt…ooo….p. Please.' Christine choked as she was lifted off the ground.
'Why? You cost me my home and almost my friend and you shattered my soul and heart.' Erik answered.
'I…. Love…..you…' she replied trying, unsuccessfully, to get Erik's hands from her throat. He just slammed her into the wall and then let go as he pushed his well-muscled body against her fragile one, nearly crushing her. She could not escape. His arms were like a cage around her shoulders and his body was like a fallen stone against her.
'Love me now!' Erik hissed coldly at her. 'Do you love this monster? Look at me!' he yelled ripping his mask away.
'Erik, I will always love you, and for the looking at you part, I can't. When you lost your home, I lost my sight.' She replied quietly bowing her head. She felt Erik's body move away from her and she fell, for she could still not stand. Everything just started to fade, asdarkness took hold on her mind.
'Ah, the dust. Did Erik ever clean his room?' said Paige. She didn't really mind the dust-Partly because she liveddeep under theopera house-but Rosa would have her head if she didn't do her job. As she was dusting the desk shenoticed feet from behind the bed. As she rounded the master bed, on which Ayesha was resting, she saw Christine on the floor. Every one was looking for her. Now that Paige hadfound Christine she wanted nothing but revenge. She had killed Eriks' soul. Now she had to pay.
Christine sensed someone close by. This was her chance for help.
'Help, please.' Whispered the girl.
'No. You hurt Erik! You killed everything that was him. You nasty selfish cow!' Paige said in a dangerously low voice,while giving Christine a kick in the stomach. Satisfied as Christine curled in pain, Paige finished her job and left. She slowly closed the door and locked it, smiling as she put the key in her pocket she went to dust the rest of the house
Jessica got up from the piano, her dark brown hair swinging around her middle back. She was in a good mood, she had just thought of one place Christine could be. She might be with Erik. That name was still foreign on her tongue, but she might be in his room. It had been only hours since The Phantom left, so one look would not hurt. She started to sing,
A dream is a wish your heart makes
when your fast alseep
in dreams you lose your heartaches
whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
your rainbow will come smiling through
no matter how hard your heart is grieving
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
She sang the last note, as she unlocked the bedroom door and looked around, with her lilac dress flowing behind her. A scream leaped through her throat as she saw Christine unconscious on the floor.
