A/N: I'm so excited I get to now use the songs my friend Kathryn wrote for me! I hope you guys like it.
The boat glided through the harbor ever so gently. Behind us the portcullis descended and the curtains closed. I stepped onto the shore, leaving Erik in the boat to let him gaze at the place he once called "home". I took off my cape and through it onto a near by chair. I took a deep breath before I began to sing:
Nightmares wakening,
starting up
again
Darkness spreads and wakes once
again
Silently the night fills the sky
I walked back over to
where the boat was anchored and helped him out even though he didn't
need it.
Slowly, softly
Night
fills the sky
Grasp it, feel it, throw it away
He continued to look around in aw. I knew he couldn't believe that it was restored to its former glory. I needed to bring his attention back to me. I brought his gaze back to me by turning his head.
Turn your face
away from the fallen night
Turn your thoughts of night
And
listen to the sounds of daylight
Close your eyes and think of
morning
Think of all thoughts of light
I turned away tears were threatening to spill. I couldn't let Erik see.
Open your
eyes
Let your soul start to light
And you'll live as you've
never lived before
I turned around and walked towards him. He stood there looking at me with amazement.
Quietly, day becomes night
Music shall fill your mind
I wrapped my arms around his waist and stand on my toes to whisper in his ear:
Hear it, feel
it
Secretly sing it
He turns around to look deep into my eyes. My heart flutters just at the site of him, but I had to finish. I took his head and continue to lead him towards the bedroom.
Open your mind,
let darkness drift away
In this darkness, which you must fight
The
darkness of the sounds of daylight
I began to circle around him like a predator would do with its prey before it leaps for the kill.
Let your mind
start a journey through a strange new light
Leave all thoughts of
the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you
must
fly
Only then can you live a bright life
My hand
reached out to his face. His hand caressed my mask then traveled down
my neck and breasts. My eyes closed with pleasure. I continue to
sing:
Floating,
falling
Sweet sounds of daylight
Touch me, love me
Remember
each moment
Let your dreams become life
Let your dark side
drift away
To the power of the music that I write
The power of
the sounds of daylight
"Continue,"
he breathed. I took a deep breath before I finished the song.
You
and me can make our love take flight
Help me make the sounds of
daylight
He lifted me off of my feet, my arms instinctively wrapped around his neck. He carried me up the staircase towards the bedroom. My breathing got heavier. Our faces were very close. He then gently lied me down on the bed. "Sleep my Angel of Darkness." In my heart I was disappointed, but then I succumbed to sleep.
