Ch.13
"come I will show you upstairs." Christine started to panic, more then Erik. She clutched into Erik shirt pressing her body to his. "It's alright Christine." He whispered to her. "we will escape somehow." He looked around and saw Mme. Giry's room. 'hopefully she has a window.' He thinks. "Mme. Giry's room go now." Christine hurried off into the room, Erik right behind her. Erik sighed in relief when he saw a window with a tree right outside of it. He opened the window. He climbed out finding a branch and keeping his balance on it. "Come Christine. I wont let you fall." Christine just stared at him. "And this is meg's room…" Christine hurried off to the window and slipped out into Erik's arms. "see I've got you." Erik said. He started to climb down the tree having a firm grip on Christine. He jumped from the lowest branch and landed on the ground with a thud. He clenched his teeth, trying to bear with the pain that shot through his feet. Christine didn't seem to notice that he hurt himself. "We will hide in the woods." Erik explained. He took Christine by the hand and led her into the woods, far enough that they wouldn't be seen but close enough to see the house and to see when the vicomt was leaving. Erik cleared some branches off the ground and sat down, resting his feet that he had just hurt. Christine looked down at him. "Sit." Erik said. Christine shook her head. "The ground is muddy." (A/n: and im not making Christine one of those girls who are like. "oh no there is a piece of dust on my clothing. I have to change. I hate those girls but anyway, yeah what girl likes mud…well me…but that's not the point. And I only like to step in it. With shoes on! So yeah.) Erik rolled his eyes. "Girls" he muttered. "Then sit on my lap." Christine raised her eyebrows but then plopped herself down on his lap, making him groan a bit. "Was that really necessary?" Christine smiled and nodded, just like a little child. Erik shook his head and rested his head back on the tree he was leaning against. "Make your self comfortable my dear…I fear the vicomt will be in there for a long while." Christine leaned back against Erik's chest and closed her eyes slowly drifting off into a light but peaceful sleep. Erik on the other hand kept a watchful eye on the house, waiting for the vicomte to finally end his "visit" with Mme. Giry.

Raoul was rather impressed with Mme. Giry's little home. Although he was quite confused by something. He could have sworn that when they were about to go upstairs he heard voices, voices saying something about Christine. Christine couldn't be here could she? No…Mme. Giry would have told him. (Ha, ha, ha, ha shows how much he knows) soon enough they were back downstairs. "Your house is splendid, Madame." Mme. Giry shrugged. "Im sure not as grand as your estate." Raoul smiled and nodded but said nothing. Just then Meg came running down the stairs. "Momma where have…"she stopped when she saw Raoul. "Oh…Vicomte. A pleasure to see you…again." Meg said hesitantly. Raoul, being the idiotic Fop he is, doesn't realize the hesitation in her voice and greets her with a nod. "A pleasure to see you Mademoiselle. Giry." Raoul said bowing. Meg bit her lip and lowered her head so her mother would not see her blush. Raoul was flirting with her. (yeah I know, eww. But for all those Raoul/Meg shippers im sorry! Im just not a fan of Raoul. And I don't believe he should be with anyone he should just die!) but Mme. Giry caught her action and slightly glared at her. "sorry momma. I could not help it." She whispered. Raoul smirked, amused at the fact that he made Meg embarrassed. Mme. Giry turned and glared at Raoul, He moved back a bit fear of a mothers rage. "So…im sorry but I best be going. I have something to do soon. I can not stay." Mme. Giry's scowl turned into a smile and she nodded. "of course. It was a deep pleasure to see you again monsieur. (coughcoughyeahrightcoughcough) Raoul nodded again and walked out the door and went into his carriage and took off.
Mme. Giry sighed when she no longer saw the carriage in sight. "Momma? What I was going to say before was where have Christine and…Erik gone?" Meg asked. Mme. Giry shrugged. "I do not know. I told them to hide but I don't know where they went."
Erik saw Raoul leave and whispered into christine's ear, "Christine. Christine wake up." Christine stirred on his lap and slowly opened her eyes. She turned to find herself gazing into erik's Georgous blue eyes. "You have beautiful eyes Erik." Christine said to him, really noticing for the first time. Erik just stared at her and Christine could tell that he was trying hard not to let his face turn a light pink. It didn't work. Christine giggled, amused that she made the famous phantom of the Opera blush. (and I agree with her 100 Erik has beautiful blue eyes.) "um yes. Anyway. Raoul has left, it is safe for us to go back in now" Christine nodded and got up off of Erik. Erik groaned, even as skinny and petite as Christine was she was still heavy. Christine put out her hand to help him but he pushed it away. " I am capable of taking care of myself." Erik said, trying to get up only to fall back down. Christine's hand was still stretched out and Erik just stared at it. "let me help you." She grinned. "I wont tell anyone I promise." She said mockingly. Erik grunted and grabbed christine's hand.
As soon as Erik's hand touched hers, she felt a spark. IT was the spark she felt every time she touched him. It was a sign of true love she thought, and every day she was falling more and more in love with him. With his eyes, his voice, his face, his attitude, his temperament, everything. She smiled at him and just for no apparent reason hugged him. "I love you, I love you so much." She whispered into his chest.
Erik felt a smile spread across his face. He loved to hear her say that, to hear her say those words to him. "I love you Christine and always will. Always." He whispered. Christine pulled back with a smile on her face. "what?" Erik asked. Christine raised her hand and removed Erik's mask from his face. Immediately Erik's hand flew to his face, but Christine caught it just before he covered it. She shook her head. "no. I fell in love with you. Not the mask." She dropped the mask and brought her lips to his in a passionate kiss. Her hand was placed on his marred and scarred cheek, showing him that no matter what he looks like she will love him, from tomorrow to tomorrow from now till forever.
