Chapter 6
Raoul
I could not believe it! I had tried my hardest to save her, and I had failed miserably, also hurting Meg in the process. I have realized that Meg is very dear to me, and I would don't want her hurt ever. Meg is not seriously hurt, but she will be in bed for a few days. Madame Giry is furious at me for trying such a stupid stunt. I know now not to repeat this unless I have a good plan. The Phantom is too smart for his own good. I probably won't be able to find the entrance again, anyway. But what if I had more than one man to help me? I would definitely be able to kill the Phantom once and for all! A plan was starting to formulate in my mind…
Christine
For a few days after Raoul came to try and save me, I was slightly woozy and nauseous. Other than that, it was pure bliss. I was singing again! I had forgotten how much I loved singing with my Angel of Music, even if I now know that he is a murderer. In addition to Erik singing with me, construction on the Opera House had begun! Things were progressing nicely, and I found that Erik is truly kind on the inside. I still do not love him, nor even like him that much, but he is very tolerable. I notice all the kind gestures; he truly tries to make everything more comfortable for me, even though I am still a prisoner. If only he knew what I truly am on the inside, and that my thoughts are filled with more than just pretty things and singing. I do think about him in ways that I shouldn't sometimes, but I never have felt love for him.
Erik
Christine is warming up to me some now, I am very glad. We do not talk about the incident with Raoul, but we do talk. Every meal we discuss all sorts of things, places I've been such as Persia, things that she had done with her father before she came to the Opera House, and I now know that in addition to being talented and beautiful, she is smart as well. You could not call what we have friendship, but I want it so bad. I love her more than ever, and I have decided to take her out on Saturday evening. When I asked her she quickly accepted, and I had a new dress bought for her. We left 7 o'clock sharp, and I took her to a restaurant I have heard the ballet rats talk about, one that is for rich people only, which I am. We had dinner, and took her to a ball. All around us were people, looking at me strangely because of the mask, but everyone was having fun, though I am nervous. Christine has been nagging me to dance, so I finally took her out to the dance floor. Her face is absolutely radiant. With a sinking feeling, I realized that this is where she belongs. I will never let her go, but I have made a resolution that I will take her out more often. After we left the ball we enjoyed a comfortable silence and once we got back to my humble abode, she started acting strangely.
Christine
This night has been absolutely wonderful, and for some reason every time I look at Erik my stomach does flip-flops. When he helped me out of the coach as the night ended, my hand burned where he had touched it. I started to get nervous, and I can't seem to place why. All I know is that when he bid me good night, something strange happened to me. I leaned in close to him, hugging him, but I wanted something more, slowly I turned my face up to his…
Please R&R! Also I wanted to know if I should start naming my Chapters and if you have any suggestions for the characters, go ahead and tell me!
