Chapter 5-Anger, a Name, and Questions
As Erik walked to the opera house he saw Aurora's eyes flutter open. Here it comes; he thought with a sigh a he saw her eyes widen "YOU! Let go of me this instant!" she yelled as she squirmed in his arms.
"Mademoiselle, I would advise you not to squirm or I'll drop you right now!" he said angrily.
"You wouldn't!" she said in a threatening tone.
"You want to watch me, Mademoiselle?" he asked smiling amusingly for she was just gaping at him in complete and utter horror that he would actually do such a thing to her, "Now I would also advise you to leave your temper controlled until we get inside to Royal Opera House for I wish for people not to stare at us."
"Stare! They are already staring...A man in a white mask carrying a girl that fainted through the streets is not something people see every day mind you." she said, "And can you please put me down! I can walk you know."
"May I ask, Mademoiselle why you were going out in the first place? Did you expect to see Christine and the boy?" Erik asked through gritted teeth as he placed her down. Half of him was glad to get rid of her while the other half still wanted her to be in his arms.
"No I did not intend to see Christine or Raoul," she said stressing Raoul's name for she did not like that Erik had said Christine's name and not Raoul's, "May I ask you while you called Raoul a boy? He is much more a man then you'll ever be."
Erik's eyes narrowed dangerously and soon he grabbed her roughly; bringing her close to him. "How dare you say such a thing! I'll tell you this that boy is merely a boy, only 22 years of age and I tell you, Mademoiselle, that you should mind you're own business. It is none of your concerns why I call him a boy, and why I called Christine by her name! No more questions if you please Mademoiselle for I will not answer them do you understand?" he said and when she didn't answer his grip tighten making her gasp in pain.
"Yes, I understand Erik! Now can you please let go of me!" she said trying to get out of his grip which only made it worst.
"And why should I?" he asked his tone like venom.
"Because you're hurting me, Louis!" she yelled as tears came down from her eyes.
"What did you call me?" he asked looking bewildered and confused as he let go of her arm.
Aurora reconized her mistake and covered her mouth. She shook her head slowly as though to tell him she didn't call him anything. "Yes you did now tell me why you called me Louis, woman or so help me I'll-" Erik said angrily.
"You'll do what? Kill me? Go ahead my life has been all screwed up because of that person. Now just like you I'll not answer any questions what so ever, so just forget I ever called you that name," she interrupted as she began to walk and then she add, "And also you're the most ill-bred, and vile person I have ever met Monsieur Phantom."
"Don't you use that name with me! I'm not the Phantom any more," he said walking up beside her.
"Well, that's who you were," she said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you just come out with it saying you were the Phantom of the Opera who kidnapped Christine and tried to force her to marry you?"
"Because I knew you'd react just like this!" he yelled back, "I knew you'd be angry I knew you'd never give me a chance if you knew who I truly was. Please Mademoiselle don't ask anymore questions concerning my past, and I won't ask you about yours."
"Of course you won't and if you do I'll never answer. Still I don't understand why Father chosen you as the leading tenor ...A murderer such as you would never have gotten a job anywhere. Besides my father never hires anyone he thinks looks suspicious but you must be special right? I mean a guy wearing a mask would be pretty suspicious to someone like my father," she said rasing her eyebrows.
"Mademoiselle, can you stop asking questions for once in you're life? And anyway your father hired me because he liked my voice, and Madam Giry asked him to please give me a job so the police wouldn't get me," Erik replied getting rather annoyed by her questioning.
"Oh all right," she said and soon it was quiet as they walked side-by-side.
Morning, Sir and Madam. Having a lovely walk?" said an elderly man, whom had his wife's arm wrapped around his, as they passed.
Erik would have gladly said that Aurora and him were not married or couples but Aurora beat him by saying, "Yes we are having a lovely walk thank you kind, sir, for you're concern."
The man touched his hat to Aurora before walking on by, but not before saying within earshot, "It's so nice to see couples out and about now-a-days"
Aurora blushed making her cheeks turn a bright red, and Erik couldn't help notice a smile form on her face. Now what's she smiling about surely she doesn't think... he thought and then shook his head, No, Aurora would never think I'd court her and anyway she plainly shows that she wouldn't have me.
Aurora was really just smiling because what the man said really made her laugh inside. Me and Erik? That is the funniest thing in the world, she thought laughing silently as she continued to walk with him to the Royal Opera House.
Hope you like it, and like I said I will update tomorrow or Saturday. Well, thanks again to everyone who likes it so far!
