Thank you for reviewing! Now this is chapter 7 yay! There maybe some niceness between Erik and Aurora! OH MY GOD can you believe it? Nice? Erik and Aurora to each other?But it's true. So here comes the chapter.
Chapter 7-Song, First Names, Thoughts, and a Kiss
Erik's voice amazed Aurora, enchanted her, for she never heard such a voice in her life. She described his voice and unearthy beauty. She walked closer to the stage and he turned to her; she saw him smile at her. He soon changed the song to a song he hasn't sung in awhile, "Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation. Darkness stirs and wakes imagination. Silently the senses abandon their defences." She slowly walked up to the stage he extended his hand to her and she willing put her hand on top of his; he grasped it firmly bringing herto him. "Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour. Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender. Turn your face away from the garish light of day. Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light. And listen to the music of the night."
"Erik..." she said but he silenced her by placing a finger on her lips.
"Shhh...just listen, my dear," he said in her ear which made her sigh in pleasure, "Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar. And you'll live as you've never lived before. Softly, deftly, music shall caress you. Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you. Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind. In this darkness which you know you cannot fight. The darkness of the music of the night." He saw her eyesdarkenand he couldn't help but think she was even more beautiful than Christine. No wait more beautiful than Christine? Never, he thought as he continued his song, "Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to go. Only then can you belong to me."
Erik wrapped his arms around her waist and took her on hand he was still hold up to his face. When her hand touched his unmasked part she rubbed his face almost lovingly, "Floating, falling, sweet intoxication. Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation. Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in. To the harmony which dreams alone can write. The power of the music of the night. You alone can make my song take flight. Help me make the music of the night"
When Erik finished she turned to him and said, "Erik your voice was lovely. It could make all of heaven weep."
"Thank you Mademoiselle," he said nodding slowly, "Music is my only pleasure, and yet..."
"And yet what?" she asked looking at him.
Heheldher hand and she looked up into his eyes. "And yet I wish to have someone who can love me for who I am, and what I am," he said and when he saw the confusion enter her eyes he added while touching his mask, "Underneith this is what people judge me by."
You can be that person, Aurora's mind told her.
No I can't take that chance, Aurora said to her mind.
Suit yourself girl, her mind said.
"Erik you'll find someone I know you will," she said to him smiling gently.
"You really think so, Mademoiselle?" he asked and then she laughed loudly and musically.
"Of course, silly, and please stop with this 'Mademoiselle' stuff. We're going to be the leads so I want you to call me by my first name," she said and soon he brought her closer to him.
"All right Aurora just as long as you promise to to use mine," Erik said looking down at her and seeing her eyes now bright with amusement.
"I think I will, Erik. And besides it seems that we're now starting to get along a little," she said laughing as she laid her head on his chest.
Oh God, he thought when she did that action and when he took in her scent it surprised him, She smells like roses. It suits her though a lot.
You're growing attached to her, his mind told him.
Now I can't disagree. This strong headed girl with her gay nature when happy, fiery temper when angry, and so logically I can't help but be attracted to her, Erik thought with a sigh.
"I must go now Erik, I promised Father I'd be in my room practicing when I got back. Thank you for singing," she said kissing his cheek before going off to her room.
His golden-green eyes were wide and he just watched her go off to her room. When she was away he touched his cheek, and hefelt a burn where her lips had touched his skin. You're falling for her my Phantom friend, his mind said laughing, but he said nothing back; still mesmorized by Aurora's actions.
Hope this is good for everyone! I somewhat like this chapter and think you will, hopefully. Well please review and tell me what you think.
