Maybe it was all a dream, maybe she dreamed of someone breaking into her house, of someone kidnapping her, of waking up in that…oh so beautiful room.

As Manda came to it, the first thing she noticed was that Brooke's body wasn't near hers, & that she was in a…dress, perhaps since the sweats no longer clung to her aching body.

Manda was starting to get up until she felt someone pull her toward them. Right away she shot open her eyes, & began to squirm. Whoever had been pulling her, had put her on their lap. Manda turned her head up to look at the man holding her in his arms.

He was very very attractive. The first thing Manda noticed was the white made on the right side of his face, but behind that was black haired gelled back. His skin was pale, & looked as though he hadn't seen the sun for years. But the most striking thing about him was a bright blue eyes that were staring down at her with such love & passion, making her feel uncomfortable.

After a few minutes Manda whispered, "Where am I?"

The man smiled sadly at her, then sad, "My le plus cher Christine…your home"

Manda furrowed her eyebrows, & echoed questionably, "…Christine? I'm…I'm not…I'm Manda"

The man slowly shook his head, as he played with her hair, "No, cheri, your Christine…don't you remember?...no of course you don't…but you will…you'll remember everything….soon enough..you just have to forget that silly nonsense that those fools planted in your head……Erik will make sure of that"

Manda shook her wildly, trying to pull away from him as she cried out, "NO! NO! I WANT TO GO HOME!...TAKE ME HOME! I WANT TO HOME!"

As she kicked, & hit, & screamed, the man, she now knew as Erik, held tightly onto her, mumbling, "my cher, precious Christine, what have they done to you? You are home, those bastards lied to you…this is your home here with me & meg…don't you remember?"

After Erik said this he buried his face in the nape of Manda's neck.

Manda just sat there, tears running down her face, not knowing what to do. She was sitting in a mans lap, who was talking nonsense, & had his face buried in her neck. It confused her a lot….when he first called her Christine she thought perhaps that he thought she was a girlfriend of hers or something…but when he said his name was Erik…then mentioned Meg, she knew exactly what he was talking about. He thought she was Christine Daae, & probably though Brooke was Meg Giry.

Manda then pulled away from him, backing off his lap. She just stared at him in fear, shaking her head. Erik reached out for her, but she just kept crawling backwards until she fell off the bed, which was when Erik was suddenly at her side, holding her.

As he lifted her up, Manda struggled slightly, she didn't want this lunatic touching her.

As he carried her, she thought he was going to put her back on the bed, but instead her carried her into the bathroom, where he gently sat her on the floor against a wall, then he closed the door locking it, then went over to a large tub, & began filling it with water, & most likely bubbles.

As he did this, Manda took the chance to look around the bathroom. It was like any other bathroom. The walls, & the floor, & tub, & sink were beige, but there was a fluffy blue rug with matching towels, & such.

Manda then jumped slightly as Erik began to pull her shirt off, no wait, as he began to pull the lacey white nightgown off. As he did this Manda tried to stop him, but he just forcefully pulled it off till she was sitting there naked, staring at him fearfully. When he reached for her, Manda backed more against the wall, trying not to let him pick her up, which again, he succeeded in. Though she did loosen up when he put her gently down into the bubbly water that felt wonderful against her body.

She just leaned against the tub, taking in the warmth it gave her, though when Erik began to wash her, Manda squealed, trying to go to the other side of the tub away from Erik. Though that didn't help much, especially when he pushed her head under the water. She thought he was trying to drown her until he let her come back up. As she resurface, she looked at Erik who was pouring something into his hands. When he put the bottle down she read the label, which happened to be 'Dove' Shampoo & Conditioner.

Manda stared at him as he rubbed the shampoo/conditioner into her hair. After it was rubbed in, Erik gently pulled his hand across her jaw, then grabbed her chin softly, leaning in toward her.

Manda automatically panicked, & ducked underneath the water, where she right away felt Erik grabbing her hair. She then came back up, coming face to face with her Erik who look beyond hurt.

He looked like he wanted to lean into her again, but then seemed to reconsidered when he picked her up, & wrapped her up in a fluffy blue towel next to him. After she was wrapped up tightly, he carried her into the bedroom again, & sat her down at the vaniety. He then smiled at her, & said, "I'll get your clothes mon amour"

When Erik walked over to one of the 3 doors & opened it to reveal a large closet filled with many shoes, & ugh dresses, Manda just stared. After a few seconds of him being in there he came out holding a pile of things, from what she could see he had a pale green dress for her.

Erik sat the clothes down at Manda's feet, then pulled the towel off of her, & into a corner. He then pulled a white dress thing over Manda's head, & through her arms, then after that he wrapped some weird looking thing around her, Manda didn't actually relialize what it was until Erik was standing behind her tightly tieing a corset onto her. After he finished that he picked up a pair of white stockings, & pulled them onto her feet, being extremely careful with the broken leg. He then picked up the pale green dress, that she could now clearly see was very lacey, & frilly, & was most likely very low cut. As he put it on her, Manda looked at her reflection in the mirror.

She didn't look good at all, her usually tan skin was already a bit lighter, probably from being so scared, she had absolutely no makeup on & her bangs were sticking up, & her wavy hair was drying in small knots.

Manda then felt a tug as Erik tied the back of the dress. She then looked back at the mirror, staring at the dress. It looked gorgeous on her. It wasn't as frilly as she thought it was, actually it needed more frills. The only part she didn't like was how low it went, the corset pumped her breast up, & this dress showed them off very well, which was probably want Erik wanted.

Manda then looked at Erik's reflection as he gently brushed her hair.

If only Brooke were here….wait a minute…Brooke was here….Manda looked up at Brooke, & asked in a worried tone, "Where is Brooke?"

Erik looked at her confused, then said, "Cheri….you mean Meg….& cher….she is sleeping…she has quite the bump on her head…nothing for you to worry about…..she's not important"
