Erik pulled Christine across his room, which was empty, through pure darkness it seemed to Christine. He opened a door on the other side, shoved Christine in and locked it. Christine looked around in fevered delight, the room was lit softly, and truth be told the room was magnificent . . . in a sort of dark eerie way.

Glowing orbs that seemed to light themselves lit it softly. The room was done in dark royal purples, ebony black, and crimson and scarlet colors. There was a large bed with soft velvet-like purple hangings, the bedcover was twilight black, and the sheets and pillows were a liquid looking silver. The walls were adorned with a lush crimson colour.

The carpet was a soft scarlet hue and was silky to the touch. The bed frame was one of the most astonishing things in the room though. It was four spiraling roses made of metal melded into an elegant frame. There was also a polished mahogany wardrobe with an extravagant design on it. As pretty as it all was, Christine found it somewhat daunting. She walked over to the wardrobe and opened it. It was full of expensive and beautiful clothes, many not at all unlike the outfit she was wearing now. And just what she was wearing now they all seemed to be made for her. She shuddered, closing the door.

Christine glanced around again, and saw a vanity set with a mirror that looked as though it had been smashed and an intricately carved door. Christine not interested in the vanity set walked over to the door and traced the soft wood with her fingertips and staring out into space. Coming out of her reverie, she put her hand on the cold handle and turned it. She was half expecting it to be locked, but it wasn't. The door opened on well-oiled hinges. Stepping out into the room before her Christine found herself in a well-heated room, quite a contrast to the coolness of the other rooms. She saw a washroom and a long translucent curtain. She pushed the curtain aside and saw a large pool of water that was steaming slightly. Christine curious touched the water and murmured in wonder "A hot spring?"

She swilled her hand in the water reveling in the warmth. Christine decided that if Erik had not wanted her to go in the spring he would have locked the door. She walked into her room, intent on getting a bath.

Erik sunk low into the warm water of the spring, mulling everything over in his mind. He let the water soothe his hurts. Does she hate me now? Is she comfortable? Did I lock the door? The passageways?

Erik took off his mask glad to be finally alone again. The girl, her presence was so unnerving, he couldn't think right whenever she was around.

"Why is she back? To betray me again? No! I wont let her get
in like that again..."

He was cut off from his thoughts by soft footsteps.

Enjoy.
