Chapter 16

"Cat?"

Cat looked up from her painting, "Yes?"

"I am going up to the Opera House. Would you like to come?"

Cat's eyes lit up. She nodded. She had yet to see the Paris Opera House. Plus, she needed to get out. After last week, they both had been awkward toward one another. One would start to speck, and then get toughe tied. It was driving them both nuts.

Erik led Cat through the tunnels and up to the scaffoldings and flies. In a corner they could see all that was going on down below. Erik pulled Cat up against him. Cat grew dizzy from the closeness of him. She loved him, but it was also complicated. She was only 20. Used to caring for herself. A hard-headed bitch at times. She never had loved before. She was afraid. Cat sighed.

Erik looked down at her. He still could not believe it. Cat had given herself to him wholly. Well, not wholly. She was still holding something back. It was eating away at him. And her. Not only was she being distant, but she was also looking weak again. He loved her. There was no mistake about that. But this time its going to be different. Before it be comes too late he needs to find out how she felt about him. Erik watched the cast run around on stage. It was opening night. A new opera was to be preformed. Unlike the last one, this one held promise.

Cat shifted, and let out another sigh. She was not feeling too good. She was tired and her chest was feeling very constricted.

"What's wrong?" Erik whispered to her.

She shook her head," Not feeling too hot." Cat glanced up at Erik. All she could see was his yellow eyes.

"Maybe we should head back." Cat nodded.

Silently they slipped down a rope and to a hidden trap door. As Erik waked on down the tunnels, Cat's heart began to pound, Her face going white. She stopped and put her hand to her chest, leaning against the stone wall. Pain shot up and down her back. Tears came to her eyes as her heart thudded painfully against her breast bone.

Erik was halfway down the tunnel when the sound of Cat's footsteps stopped. Erik turned just in time to see Cat's face go white and put her hand to her chest, then fall.
