The-Wind-Dragon-Caller- Thanks again for reviewing! I'm busy tommorow, but I figured if I can finish this tonight I can give you something to feed your excitment! I have to go to my school(AND ITS SUMMER!) and do some stuff, but because you seem to be REALLY into this story I decided to write this tonight. I don't know if it will be long or short but here you go...

WTF!

Dawn didn't know what to say. On the one hand, madame Giry knew about Erik so it could be ok to tell her. On the other hand, Erik told her not to tell ANYONE and if she did chances are she'd die. What was a girl to do?

"I..um...that is to say...um...I...um..."

"Well!"

"You said you've known Erik for a LONG time. Tell me what you think would happen if I answered that?"

Mme. Giry seemed to have caught on and nodded.

"Promise me that he did not hurt you."

"Nope, not going to answer that. I haven'tcough seen him. Sorry, I have work to do, bye!"

Dawn left before Mme. Giry could say another word. Dawn set to work finishing the costumes for Pandora. The weeks passed and dress rehearsals were soon underwayDawn, deciding to get a bird's point of view, went up into the flies one day when she wasn't busy. She sat down and watched the dancers dance and singers sing. She got so lost in the music that she didn't notice the shadow approaching her silently, from the left.

"Why are you here, my fiesty little tigeress?" a familiar voice whispered.

She gasped and turned to face him. "I'm watching the show. What do you want, Gerbil Man?"

Erik growled, deep in his throat. (The sexiness of it all!) "The same as you, dear. You are invading my domain, though. Your appreciation for the art isn't enough to guarantee your safety."

"Sure. And you're going to harm a defenseless woman because...?"

"Because I enjoy my privacy."

"Why up here though? Isn't Box 5 suitable enough?" Her tone was even more sarcastic when she added, "It's only the best box in the house after all."

"I go where I please. This is my opera house!"

"Whatever. I'll just go now so you can continue your phantomish ways."

"Do NOT mock me!"

"Fine! Fine! I shall not 'mock' you." Dawn said mimicing his voice. Erik growled once again at Dawn.

"You know thats the second time your done that in the last five minutes. Maybe I should go for a third time?"

"It would be wise for you to leave now."

"Fine, Gerbil."

"I'm not a GERBIL!"

"Are too. Do you know what else you are?"

"No."

"Well, let me tell you-"

"Spare me."

"You are odious, stubborn, foul...nincompoop!"(A/N: I really like the word nincompoop!hehe)

Erik raised the only visable eyebrow.

"Is that so?"

"Yes!"

"Comeing from 'daddy's puppet' doesn't mean much to me. Especially when your father is easily corrupted."

Dawn had had enough.

"You FOP! hOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT MY FATHER IN THAT MANNE- "

Before Dawn could finish a hand struck her across her face. Dawn lost her balance and hit her hed against a metal pole.

Her world turned black.

Dawn was awaoken by cold water being trown on her face.

'What the F&K?"

"Language." came Erik's voice.

Okay so this is a small cliff hanger. It took me 2 hours to write so I hope you enjoy. I don't have spell check so I don't know if there are many mistakes. There shouldn't be but this is a warning. Please tell me if you find any!

I won't update for a few days, sorry. Please be patient!
