Chapter Thirty-Eight
What happened to Christine?
+Erik's P.O.V.+
She was out cold and covered with fresh blood, and small cuts and bruises. I wasn't sure if I should pick her up, because she seemed so frail... literally. Her arm was lying in an unnatural position; meaning it was probably broken from the landing of the... whatever happened. I didn't know what to do.
I decided to carry her the long way up the stairs and gently as I could. It was a long and tedious operation, but I slowly made it to the top; as few tears as I could. Once at the top, I hurried towards Antoinette's room. When I reached he door, having no hands free, I kicked it as hard as I could without jostling Christine, tears now streaming down my face.
Antoinette answered the door and gasped at the sight before her. She ushered me into the room and I layed Christine gently on the bed. "What happened?" she asked, very concerned.
"No time to explain. She needs a doctor." I said monotone. "Tell Meg. I'll be back soon." I rushed out of the room and headed towards the stables. I retrieved Caesar and headed out as fast as he could go, no saddle... no bridle. It was a short ride and I jumped off as quick as I could, bursting through the office doors yelling for the doctor, the receptionist staring at me like I was crazy.
The doctor ran into the room and calmed me down. I explained what happened and he told me to lead the way.
We arrived at the opera and I led him towards Antoinette's room, where Christine layed on the bed, unmoving as before.
I sat down in a chair in the corner of the room while the doctor looked over Christine. She was so badly injured. I feared for her life and the life of our baby.
XxX
What seemed like hours was only minutes and the doctor had finished his assessment. He walked to my side and told me the news. I nodded my head slightly when he finished, tears sliding down my cheeks uncontrolably.
It was horrible. I couldn't believe my ears. Before he left, the doctor explained to me how to care for Christine while she was ill and to retreive him again if anything else happened. He then left the room and I stood. I walked towards the bed, and knealt by her side.
She had bandaged cuts in several places and her arm was wrapped in place to her body... broken. I stood and then sat next to her on the bed.
I brushed the hair from her face, revealing a large cut, streaching from above her eye to about the middle of her cheek. I turned away, "She's just like me." I said, just loud enough for Antoinette to hear.
"How is that Erik?" She asked, even though she knew the answer.
"Look at this," I said, pointing to Christine. "The scar that that cut will leave, there on her right cheek, will be like her own deformity. JUST LIKE ME!"
"Erik don't say that." She went to place her hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it away.
"I would like to be with my wife now... alone." I said angrily.
She then left the room, probably to go tell Meg.
Once the room was empty, I gently crawled in bed next to Christine, snuggling up to her.
I kissed her gently on the cheek, then ended up slowly crying myself to sleep.
XxX
Antoinette walked up to the door and knocked gently. Meg answered, a big smile on her face. The smile faded when she saw the tears slipping down her mother's cheeks.
"Come in. Come in. Maman, what's wrong? What happened?"
"It's about Christine."
"What about Christine?" she asked in horror.
Antoinette answered through sobs. "She's been terribly injured. I don't know how it happened... it was a fall, I believe... down the stairs... that's what put her in her condition. And because of the fall... she lost the baby."
