Chapter 17 - Coming to Terms
You know that feeling you get when someone tells you something, or does something and to you time just stops? That was what Erik was feeling. No thoughts within his head, no noise reached his ears. She really loved him, she was truly willing to spend her days with him. And indeed…she had taught him to love and respect the world. He understood now why Madame Giry had denied him so much. He understood now not all the world hated him if he did not hate the world. Erik took hold of Christine, who still stood as she had done when she had last spoken, not a inch different, nothing changed in her eyes. She loved him.
"Oh Christine…" He whispered, before encasing her lips in his, holding her tightly, seeking the passion and love in the kiss. They released each other, eyes sparkling.
"I love you Erik" Christine said. Erik placed a hand on her cheek and stroked it.
"I love you too, Christine." He said softly, pulling her closer to him. Madame Giry stood and smiled.
Yes, her mission, her task. To teach him to love everyone, neighbours friends, those who despise him…everyone. She knew what was going to happen now.
"We must go both of you, they will search the place and if they find you they will kill you!" Madame Giry said, stepping closer to the couple, who were gazing into each others eyes. They stepped apart and nodded.
"Yes…" Erik said, reaching for his cloak. Madame Giry turned and felt for the lever to swing the secret staircase. Erik frowned and took her hand.
"No, we go my way. Me and Christine." He walked back to where Christine stood and took hold of her hand. He gestured to the gondola and Christine smiled.
