Christine turned quickly as she felt a hand grab onto her shoulder.She had been so caught up in the Masquerade that she had forgotten anyone else was around.When she turned her eyes locked on a man wearing red.He was tall and had black hair that was slicked back.

"Erik!",Christine half whispered.

In response Erik put a finger to his lips he didn't wan't any trouble(not yet that is!).When he looked down Christine had wrapped her arms around him and had her head on his chest.They began to dance lightly.This is the first time Erik had been around any of these people without them screaming.

"Forgive me Christine",Erik said as he leaned over"The managers must be taught a lesson.

Christine looked at him puzzled.What did he mean?Erik broke from there embrace lightly and gently kissed her forhead before walking off.Christine turned around and he was gone.It was like he had vanished.

Christine turned back sharptly as the happy music of the Masquerade had turned to an abrupt mysterious tune.Christine gazed lifted to the stairs where she saw Erik! Gasps were heard through the crowd as he decended the stairs drawing his sword.

"Why so silent good monsuiers?Did you think that I had left you for good?",he asked in a chiding tone.

Christine's eyes brimmed with tears as he pointed the sword at Piangi,Carlotta,and the managers.Why did he have to be so ignorant sometimes.She couldn't understand the change of attitude.She made up her mind and walked up the stairs to him.

She noticed that he had seen the managers roll their eyes and his temper would not last long.She seemed to not care though as she walked closer grabbing him by the arm.(something she might not should have done in this moment),

"STOP!",she yelled,"What are you doing?",tears were running down her cheeks now.

Erik stood in shock had SHE just told HIM what to do.This was the last straw.

"You do not pressume to give me orders!",he shouted"You belong to ME!

With that he ran from the stairs and was gon e in a flash of smoke.Christine acted as if nothing was wrong and as quickly as she could fled the scene.

Madame Giry walked into Christine's dressing room.Christine was crying now.Her mask had been removed from the ball and she had her head in her hands.Madame Giry walked over to her and placed loving hands on her shoulders she knew something like this would happen.

"Christine,I know he still loves you Erik just needs his space sometimes.

"How do you...",she was cut short

"I heard you and Meg talking,and I've known Erik for a long while my dear",she answered,"I think later you should read the note he gave you.Christine Erik did not have the best past my dear it's new for him to feel loved",she leaned over and hugged Christine.

"He has always been there,I've never seen this side of him before",she said wiping the tears from her swollen eyes.The makeup she had worn looked a wreck now from the tears.

"How did you meet him?",Christine asked.

With that Madame Giry told her the story of the Gypsies and how he came to be at the opera house.Christine now had even more tears.

"You would think",she said"That I would have pity now but for some reason reason it just makes me feel for him even more,I love him Madame Giry!",she said

Neither one of them had noticed the figure in the shadow of the mirror.
