Chapter 15: Reaction
Christine came in the next two days with a doctor to bandage her rubs and give her medicine for any pain. Their only aliby they could conjure was that Cat had gotten hurt backstage while helping out preparing for the new Opera to be preformed with Delilah as the star once more.
Cat said nothing for five days straight, refusing all eye contact as well. When she was able to walk well, she got in a carriage to go to the Opera House with some cat food and toys. For the next week, she would leave the stuff for Fat Hampton inside the mirror door but she absolutely refused to go see Erik. She avoided Raoul and Delilah during this time, never speaking once to Christine.
After a month of the beating incident, Cat was walking rather well, the bruises in her face were gone but both arm and ribs were still broken. With one good arm, she helped people behind the scenes during the new production on the stage.
When she entered the Prima Dona room though one morning, she found Erik lookin at her through the mirror, with a suprised face. He immediately walked into the room and grabbed her good arm before she could go anywhere.
"It's ok. It's just a broken arm and some broken ribs," Cat reassured him quickly as she saw the anger glare radiating from his eyes.
"The Vicomte did this didn't he?" Erik asked gently although she was wiser then that.
"He was drunk. But the doctor says I'll be able to make a full recovery in another two months," Cat explained as Erik let her arm loose.
Erik growled in fustration, which kind of suprised Cat. He turned from her and sat down on the seat near by the bed.
"Forgive me Cat. I told you I would not let him harm you and yet he had. When you did not show up that night or many after, I thought the worst had happened. he will suffer what he has done to you Cat," Erik stated rubbing his head.
"As much as I wish there was something you can do I must not let you kill him," Cat said sitting on the bed. "The Phantom has returned but to kill Raoul de Chagny is not much of an entrance. There are many ways to cause Raoul pain."
"And I suspect Delilah was involved in this plan of yours?" Erik asked with a raised eyebrow.
"How could she not be? She's the one who caused the broken arm," Cat stated angerily. "And Christine did nothing to stop Raoul."
"Christine? She allowed you to be harmed?" he questioned in a suprised tone.
"Yeah, but I suspect Raoul broke her a long time ago," Cat replied. "He finds me as a challenge. How can I ever be related to that kind of a creature?"
"It's true that you are nothing like him in the slightest but you cannot change who you are. But I will stop him from hurting you and Christine from now on," Erik stated. "In fact, how would you like to help the Phantom Ghost once more during the play two nights from tonight?"
"As long as it doesn't envolve me killing someone, except Delilah. I would love to wring her neck in my hands," Cat said very evilly. "Oh, and do I get to wear the mask?"
"Nay, you will be my assitant that is in Raoul's view so he can not blame you for any of my actions. Be here tomorrow morning to deliver a message from the Opera Ghost. I have an Opera I wish to test on the stage," Erik announced. "And this time, the world will hear your voice."
"Raoul won't allow it," Cat stated.
"Trust me,"Erik replied which caused Cat to smirk.
