Well, I'm sick, so I'm going to update some more! Especially since I left the last chapter at a MAJOR cliffhanger. I love cliffhangers, they're so funny! Well, thank you to all my reviewers! Keep R&Ring…
Chapter 9: Falling in Love
Slowly, a figure emerged from the shadows. Meg Giry walked forward laughing hysterically.
"Sorry, I just couldn't help it!" she said, still laughing.
"MEG! I cannot believe you! You have just given me my second near-heart attack today!" Christine said happily with a sigh of relief, "How did you know we were in here anyways?"
"Well, I ran into Elizabeth in the hallway. She told me what was going on. Oh, but you really should be getting back, Raoul is looking for you."
"Stupid bastard…" Christine muttered under her breath.
Erik laughed and smiled at her.
They kissed goodbye, and Christine left with Meg.
Erik continued to laugh quietly to himself before returning to his home. Once he had arrived, he walked towards his beautiful organ. Just before he was about to begin, he heard a noise. Like the muffled rustling of papers.
It was coming from Elizabeth's room.
He heard a few more noises, and then, all at once, a beautiful, yet powerful violin song erupted from within the room.
Erik was shocked. It took him only a moment to realize that it was Elizabeth playing that violin. The loud music came out of the room as though it was completely effortless.
The song ended, and Erik opened his eyes. He walked to the door and pushed it open.
"Since when do you play?" he asked, smiling.
Elizabeth jumped, "Father! You frightened me! You know, you really shouldn't sneak up on people like that!"
He laughed, "Is that my old violin? Who taught you to play?"
"Oh, yes. Although, I don't know why you have it. I've had it since I was six, and you've never noticed. Oh, and I taught myself to play."
"Well, I am very surprised. You play very well. The violin was a gift, but I don't know how to play."
"So, did you and Christine have fun?" Elizabeth said with a smirk.
"Why yes, as a matter of fact we did." Christine said coming up behind Erik.
"Christine!" Erik jumped about a foot in the air.
"Told you it was annoying." Elizabeth said, referring to her father surprising her only moments ago.
"Hi! I told Raoul I was going to sleepover in Meg's room." Christine said joyfully.
"Well, you two go out there and do whatever you want. I'm going to stay in here and practice." Elizabeth said as she stood and closed the door.
"Now then," Erik said turning to Christine, "where were we?"
"Right about… here!" she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
For a while they just stood there, kissing. Then they slowly made their way to Erik's bedroom.
Erik swept Christine off her feet, and opened the door. He gently put her down on a large bed, which was even more comfortable than it looked.
Slowly, Erik closed the door and sat down beside her. She reached up to the side of his mask, and he allowed her to remove it.
Erik gently began to remove Christine's dress, and she began to remove his shirt.
That night, Erik and Christine fell in love all over again.
