CHRIS' POV
Later that afternoon I had decided to take a walk and leave the Lair. Knowing that the Opera house was deserted as Erik had indeed informed me. He had showed me how to leave and come back through the mirror in Christine's room. Informing me that it was a one-way door and if I wanted to come back I could take a passage that lead from the catwalk above the stage. He said that I would just have to go straight till I came to a fork in the passageway, go right, and I would be in the Kitchen of his small abode. I thanked him with a kiss and decided to wonder around.
At that moment I was on the ledge of Box Five with my leg hanging over the edge while I was listening to some music from my MP3 player. At that moment 'Beautiful Disaster' by Kelly Clarkson was playing. I laughed thinking how much it related to Erik. I was singing along with it rather loudly not caring if he heard me or if I was bad, mainly because this was my process when I had something in my ears and no one is supposedly around.
When the song was finished and I was bored I got down from the ledge and took the staircase to the main floor. Afterwards jumping onto the stage. I took the waterproof backpack that had saved my musical gear off my shoulder and pulled out the lappy.
"Now lets see if we cant find some good music so that I can goof off on 'the actual stage' of the chandelier incident." I said to myself. I was very very anxious at that moment.
"Okay then here we go," I said after I got it started up and started to play some of the songs from the Phantom of the Opera.
Coincidentally it started to play Past the Point of No Return and I laughed to myself.
"How appropriate," I voice from behind me said.
"Ha I knew you were there. Really you need to work on those stealth skill Batman." I said after I turned around and laughed at him.
He just smiled not paying attention to my obvious jest. Instead he started to sing.
Passarino, go away,
For the trap is set and waits for its prey.
You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now
has been silent
Silent.
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind you've already succumbed to me, dropped all defenses
Completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me
No second thoughts
You've decided
Decided.
Past the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make believe are at an end
Past all thought of "if" or "when"
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
What raging fire shall flood the soul
What rich desire unlocks its door
What sweet seduction lies before us?
Past the point of no return
the final threshold
what warm unspoken secrets
will we learn
beyond the point of no return?
While he sang his part he mimicked every move that was made, just like in the movie. Thankfully I had seen it enough times in theatres to know what to do as well. Plus the 'Don Juan Triumphant' set was still standing and safe to walk about.
You have brought me
To that moment when words run dry
To that moment when speech disappears
Into silence
Silence.
I have come here,
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined
Our bodies entwining
Defenseless and silent,
Now I am here with you
No second thoughts
I've decided
Decided.
Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now at last begun.
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom
When will the flames at last consume us?
By now we were at the top of the stairs on the catwalk. Walking towards each other in a seductive nature. Until we finally met in one embrace.
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
The bridge is crossed
So stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return.
He was holding me now. His face buried into my hair.
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
He had turned me around so that I could look into his eyes. I could see a lone tear fall from his face. His mask was still on.
Say you want me
With you here
Beside you
Anywhere you go
Let me go too
Christina that's all I ask of… you.
When he said you it was a barely audible whisper. Like he was afraid to say it. I looked up at him and cupped my hand on the masked side of his face. I reached up on my tippy- toes. He had to bend his head so I could reach him. I whispered in his ear seductively brushing my lips on his ear saying," your wish is my command." And then moving my face over so I could kiss him.
When I pulled away I wiped the lone tear away from his face. He lifted his hand up and did the same for me. I didn't even know I had been crying until I looked down and saw that it was there… indeed on his gloved index finger. I chuckled to myself lightly.
Suddenly he reached inside his pocket and pulled out something attached to a silver chain. When he opened his hand I saw it was a necklace that Darienne had given for me on my 16 birthday. I gasped thinking I had lost it in the water.
"It was in the water when I retrieved your things the day that I found you. It was below the water and I would not have noticed it if I had not stepped on it. I took the liberty of repairing it for you when I found that it had been damaged somewhat during your journey." He said, while turning me around and putting it on for me.
When I looked down at the necklace I gasped. Before it had just been a plain sterling silver crescent moon with a plain blue piece of plastic places strategically in the center so it looked like the tattoo and mark on my back. He had fashioned a new chain out of pure silver and now there was no longer a blue jewel but a tear shaped jewel of moonstone. The crescent moon was still the same though he had also place some diamonds in it to give it an ethereal illumination.
"But… i-its… it's exquisite Erik. How did you fix it? I mean… uh…" before I could finish I jumped on him wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my face in the crook of his neck. "Thank you" I whispered. "Thank you thank you thank you"
He just wrapped his arms around my waist once, turning his head so he could sniff my hair. Suddenly 'Existentialism on Prom Night' started to play. I laughed as we started to shuffle back and forth to the beat of the music. Both of us were to lazy and entrapped in the other to want to do anything else.
ERIK'S POV
I just stood there rocking back and forth to the beat of the music holding her in my arms thinking about what had just happened. She hadn't ripped off my mask as Christine had done. And when she had whispered those words in my ears I couldn't help but cry. She had told me your wish is my command. She had in her own quirky way said she loved me. And that thought still brought tears to my eyes. She loved me.
Thinking back I remembered how I had had the necklace in my pocket and felt that I should return it. It had taken me a month to repair. I had to leave the layer during the nights she slept to find the jewels I wanted. I had had a feeling that moonstone had seemed the most fitting for the necklace. But that it still wasn't enough for her and decided to fashion an all together new chain and inlay the moon with diamonds. So that it could mirror the image on her wrist and back.
Just then the song stopped and she pulled away from me. She looked up at me and said, "Just stay here I wanna show you something." And with that she walked away towards her bag.
I followed her and stood behind her while she pulled something out of her bag. When she turned around I saw that it was a stuffed animal or something of the sort. It was wearing a blue dress coat with gold lining and a white undershirt with frills and black pants. The closer I looked I saw it had blue eyes and stood like a man though it looked like a beast.
"There is a story called Beauty and the Beast where I am from a bout a young girl who meets and falls in love with a beast. She starts out hating him having taken the place of her father as his prisoner after the father intruded on his castle. The story isn't that happy though. Another suitor is quite taken by Bell or Beauty and tries to kill the Beast for her love. In the end she confesses her love for the Beast after he kills the evil suitor and dies of his wounds. When this happens he turns into a prince. Explaining to her that before he was the beast he was a tuck up prince. Eventually a witch cast a spell on him making him a beast. She gives him a rose and says that if he can make someone fall in love with him by the time the last petal falls. That he will turn into a prince again. Growing up it was my favorite and my parents gave me him for Christmas. I've slept almost every night with him by my side since I can remember."
I looked at the quaint figure and smiled. What a touching story. Yet there was something about the story I couldn't quite explain. Probably that it so closely resembled my life.
"Have you always slept with such disdainful things?" I asked.
"It doesnt matter so musch as what is on the outside as what is on the inside. "She smiled and handed him to me."and Yes. Here I want you to have him. You have your rose and your Beauty. Now you need the beast to make the story complete."
I looked down at him and took him. Seeing how much it meant to her for me to have him.
"May I inquire as to what this beauty looked like?" I asked.
She smiled again, my heart skipping a beat every time she did that. "She had long wavy brown hair and big brown eyes. I also went as her for Halloween."
I pulled her into a hug with those words, crushing the small thing between us. "Beauty." I whispered into her ears as I held her in the warm embrace.
Okay sorry, I know thanking everyone was cheesy but I felt the need because I am in a really good mood. Which is rare for me. Really REALLY rare. oh and you should all read MagickAlianne WhoWants to Live Forever story in wich I shall be making a guest appearence. YAY! love you Alianne (is it named after the queen song cause I love that song!)... (b4 i forget, thanks to anyone who put me on their fav's)
