Chap.2

(A/n: this story is no longer in Erik's POV)

Erik walked down the secret hallways, he's the only one who knew about them. The police were coming for him…but what he didn't understand was why he was running. He had nothing to live for, why was he running?

He didn't know where he was going, neither did he care. All he knew is that he was leaving Paris, he couldn't stand living in Paris anymore. Especially after what just happened. He didn't want to be reminded about his past about Christine. The series of hallways finally ended out into a forest, He stepped out into the daylight. It was pretty late, the sun was setting now. But the light hurt his eyes still, he only went out night, near closing time, to buy what he needed. ( what you think he's gonna steal? Hello! 20,000 francs! Do you think he gets that much money a month, just for the sake of having it. He's not that bad! Sure he kills people, but you know…) He felt the wind against his face, the light breeze that was gently blowing around. It hit the right side of his face and he felt something new, he has never been outside without his mask on, so the right side was never exposed to feel the air.

He often went out here to think. He used to lie on the grass and stare up into the sky, the star filled sky and let his mind wander. Sometime he would think about Christine, in fact the last few times he was out here it has been about Christine. He came out here after the night on the roof top, after his heart broke. The stars were like his friends, sometimes he would even talk to them. But they would not answer, they just stayed motionless in the sky.

This evening was not a good night to think, although he wanted to. He couldn't risk it so he started walking again. He walked through the woods, a few minutes in, it seemed to get darker. Erik could hear motion going on all around him. He was not scared, he killed humans he could kill animals. He also heard the crunching oh his boots…( Yes boots he has boots, in the movie at the end you can see them) on the leaves, and sticks on the ground. He came to a big gate of branches, he pulled put his sword and chopped through them, nothing was going to stand in his way. Soon enough he got tired, too tired to walk. He forced him self to walk until he found a grassy area. He found one, and collapsed to the ground as soon as he heard the crunching stop. He laid on his stomach for a few minutes then, getting uncomfortable, switched to his back. He closed his eyes and let his mind wander off to dream land….

Dream Sequence

A woman was running down streets, She kept looking back and then to the little bundle in her arms. "It's alright, sweetie. I wont let anyone harm you." The woman said to the bundle. "Hold up!" came voice behind her. The woman glanced behind her and saw a group of men coming at her. She picked up her pace. "Monster!" cried the men behind her. "NO!" she screamed. Suddenly there was a clopping noise. The men had horses! One man on a horse came up to her and holted in front of her. He got off the horse and grabbed the woman before she could run. "No! I wont let you have him!" The woman cried, wriggling in the man's arms. She was holding onto the bundle tightly. Another man came in front of her and surprised her by ripping the bundle out of her arms. "NO!" the woman cried again, now in tears. "He's a monster!" the man, who was holding the bundle, cried out to the other man. "No he's not! He's just a baby, with a little…" one of the men slapped her before she could say anything else. Another man came up and pulled a gun out of his pocket. The woman saw it and gasped. "no! don't kill him! Just…leave him here…on the sidewalk." The woman said hysterical in tears. The men looked and each other and the man holding the gun lowered it. The man holding the baby placed it down. "Come on, bring her over here." A man from the group said. The woman looked at her baby was she was being dragged off and whispered to him, "I will see you again, I promise. My little Erik."

The baby lie there on the ground, squirming in his little blanket. The part that was now covering his head was uncovered, and you could see that the baby had a slight disfiguration on the right side of his face. A woman came up to him. A woman and her husband. The woman bent down saying, "awww…look David. A baby." The woman scooped the baby into her arms, apparently not seeing the distortion on his face. She walked away with her husband.

End Dream sequence.

Erik slowly awoke…He looked around. The night air was frigid against his skin. He shivered and closed himself in a little ball, to keep himself warm…( he he.. I just pictured that in my Head. OMG that is amusing!) Suddenly he heard screaming, it was faint but with his sharp hearing he picked it up immediately. He sprang to his feet, and ran off toward the direction. 'running will keep me warm' he thought. He wanted to see what all the hubbub was about, he ran as fast as he could. which was pretty fast, through the woods and back in to Paris. He saw smoke coming from behind a building. 'fire!' he thought. Then he remembered the fire he caused, how it killed innocent people. He thought It was time to end his reign of terror. He raced over to the scene, A big fire was spreading through out a house. "Somebody Help! My daughters in there! Help!" a woman cried from the other side of the house, officers were holding her back. Erik took the time now, he ran toward the house and jumped onto the wall, he grabbed onto loose bricks and made himself climb the building. "look" said a man. Erik smiled to himself. He went into the window. "Where are you?" he called out. "over here." A little girl said, then she coughed. Erik pushed aside burning pieces of wood, he hands getting burnt in the process. He finally got to the girl she was all huddled up, she look terrified. "grab my hand." Erik told her. The girl looked up at him and slowly grabbed his hand. He picked her up and again made his way to the window. He got his footing and climbed down, the little girl shaking in his arms. "It's okay I've got ya." Erik jumped to the ground and put the girl down, she ran into her mothers arms. After her mother settled down she came over to Erik. "thank you sir. You saved my daughters life." The little girl was now beside her mother and she walked over to Erik and hugged his leg, he looked down at her. "WE are both grateful." The mother said to him. "Thank you monsieur." Said the little girl, who was still holding onto his leg. He bent down so he was at eyelevel with her. "It was no problem at all." The girl smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Erik was surprised…he never felt so happy, so loved, so appreciated in his life. This most defiantly was the strangest day he had ever had, his day went from sad, to destructive to happy. "I must go…" erik explained to the people around him. "Wait sir…" a man called. "what is your name?" erik smiled at him. "erik, monsieur, just Erik." Then out of nowhere a man with a camera came…and took his picture. "Thank you monsieur. Then the camera guy disappeared. "that better not be in the newspaper." Erik said to himself, even though he knew he wanted it to be. He said good bye to the mother and daughter once more and then left, very proud of himself.

Well what'd you know? Erik's a hero? And will he be in the paper? Who knows!
