Christine woke up. She was in Erik's house again. She sat up. How long had she been here? She heard a noise outside the door. Erik. She got up and went to the door. She went to open the door but something stopped her. What would he do to her? He must be mad at me she thought. Somehow she found the strength to open the door. He was sitting in a chair. He seemed to be thinking. He didn't acknowledge him. She almost smiled at him. She loved how he would just sit down and think the way he did. He was so smart!

"What are you staring at?" He said startling her.

"Nothing, just waiting for you to say hello or something."

"Hello Christine."

"Hello Erik. How have you been since last month?"

He looked right at her with anger.

"You know damn well how I've been! You've been torturing me! At first I didn't think too hard on that boy but then I saw that he was capable of brainwashing you in to loving him!" He stood up "You hurt me Christine!" He sat back down again and started to cry. "You hurt me. Why?" He looked at her, "Why did you want to hurt me? I gave you the world! I helped you produce a gift only angels can obtain! Why Christine Why? Answer me!'

Christine started to cry. Here she was trying to understand herself why she had hurt her angel so badly. She went to him saying,

"I'm so sorry Erik! I should have never done that to you! But I love Raoul as much as I told you I loved you! Can't you understand that? I still care about you! I would have left already if I didn't!"

"If you care so much you should have never been with that boy! Oh." He said suddenly smiling "Speaking of you're Romeo come to my window I have something to show you."

He took Christine by the hand and brought her to a small glass window. He pointed to a small room with cells. It was much like a dungeon. And what Christine saw was the most terrible thing to see at a time like this. In one of the cells in chains lay her Raoul asleep. She screamed and grabbed a chair to try to break the window. Erik grabbed her and yanked the chair out of her hands. He sat her in the chair. She was blubbering like a baby. He said with a mocking tone,

"I found him stuck in my torture chamber. I was surprised to hear my bell go off to tell me someone other than myself had entered my home. That hadn't happened in years. Usually if some poor fool finds my chamber by accident I let them go. But for you're Romeo I made an acceptation"

"How can you do this? How can you be so cruel? Let him go! I demand you to let him go!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that my dear. You see if I let him go he'll just get other stupid young fools like himself to come after me. And we can't have that now can we?"

"What do you mean we? I'm not staying with you! I'd rather be stuck in your torture chamber than stay with you!"

"All that will change in time. You see if you stay with me forever I will let the pest go as long as you tell him to go away forever and that you love me. Or you can refuse me. Now if you do that I will let you go, but be forewarned that I will kill the boy and you will no longer be welcome to my home again."

She looked at him with such hatred.

"The tears I might have shed for your dark fait, grow cold and turn to tears of hate!"
