Chapter 2: Meeting A Phantom
"Erik it is." Rose replied. Erik then walked gracefully through the room and sat down on the bed.
"This room hasn't changed at all." Erik said as he sat on the bed.
"You've been here before?" Rose asked, standing in front of him.
"Indeed, but that was about a year ago. You may sit beside me. I just have one request of you." Erik said. Rose sat beside him.
"Yes?" Rose asked.
"I don't want you to fear me." He retorted. Rose smiled and nodded.
"Noted. I will not fear you. But may I ask a question myself?" Rose asked.
"Of course." Erik replied.
"Why did you choose me?" Rose asked.
"I believe you have a very talented voice." Erik truthfully. Rose merely nodded. "Do you not believe in yourself?" Erik asked. Rose shook her head, her long red hair swished with her head movement. "You really need to. I think with training, your voice could be phenomenal." Erik said. Rose blushed.
"I don't know. I couldn't ever size up to the Christine Daae." Rose said. Erik froze at that statement. "Are you okay? Did I say something?" Rose asked. Erik then looked away and was silent for a moment. "Erik?" Rose asked, worried that she hurt his feelings.
"It's nothing." Erik stood up from the bed. "Have you decided upon if you shall be tutored?" Erik asked, skipping the subject. Rose smiled.
"I have decided that why not?" Rose said. Erik smiled and offered his hand to her.
"Come with me." He motioned with his haunting voice. Rose took his hand and stood, following Erik, no matter where he went at that moment she would follow. Erik led her towards the enchanted mirror that he had previously walked through. Rose was hesitant, but when Erik looked back to her and smiled, she continued on. Lit candles moved as they passed them, Erik looking back regularly. Rose felt as if time went by SO slowly, but in that instant, it felt amazing! What seemed like after forever of a phenomenal moment, Erik and Rose came to a narrow boat that they boarded. Erik lowered Rose in, where Rose sat as Erik rowed. Just romantic! Rose couldn't say a word on that boat, for you see, the scenery was beyond your beliefs. Erik merely laughed.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" He asked, knowing the answer. Rose smiled knowing her answer, and yet she replied.
"It's unbelievable!" Rose said with no exageration. Erik smiled and continued to row the boat. Finally they arrived to a lowering gate that was shut in the water, but as they approached it, it began to raise. Right as they entered, candles rose out of the water! Can you believe that? Rose was flabberghasted! Wouldn't you be?
"Where are we?" Rose asked as they hit land.
"Home." Erik answered with feelings in his voice.
Sorry this chapter is a bit on the short side!

Erik: I didn't mean-it was a retorical question! Ugh! I'm going to my dressing room to take a hot bubble bath! walks into trailer but sticks head out the door Reviewing would be good though!
