I'm on a writing spree today! Hope you all enjoy it!
Raoul kicked the leg of the table, and then howled in pain, as his toe started to throb. He sat down in his arm chair, and began to plot his revenge…
Raoul looked at the notepad that he was holding in his hand. He checked it over once more, and he checked off what he had already accomplished:
Tried to persuade best friend to date me: check
Tried to FIND Christine: check
Called Lawyers: check
Went To Look For Her in the Basement of the Opera
House: -not done-
"I guess all I have to do now is actually go down there…again." Raoul thought to himself, shuttering at the thought. The LAST time he had been down there, he lost her, and watched her kiss the monster, and been lassoed and tied to a metal gate. Well, THIS time, it would be HE who had the element of surprise on THEM! (This shows how much of an idiot that he actually is! –giggle giggle-)
Erik was reading a book, when Christine came yawning and stretching into the room. "Good morning, my dear. Did you have a good sleep?" Erik asked, hoping to find out of she had dreamt of him. He MAJORLY dreamt of her, and it wasn't the most respectable of dreams either! She smiled and replied "Oh yes. It was the best night of sleep that I've had in AGES!" Christine yawned again, and then walked to the kitchen. "What are you doing?" Erik looked puzzled. "Going to fix breakfast of course; It's the most important meal of the day!" Christine look astonished that he didn't eat breakfast. Erik smiled, and said "If cooking breakfast makes you happy, then make breakfast." "Good, because I was going to anyway." Christine bantered back. She smiled and floundered into the kitchen, with Erik smiling at her back. She really WAS going to stay. She wasn't lying to him.
Raoul slipped into the opera house through one of the back doors, and made his way to the stairs that Madam Giry had led him down not three days prior. He spoke softly until he got what he was waiting for: an echo of his voice. He shrugged off his coat and jumped down just as he did before…
Christine and Erik were sharing a sweet kiss when a bullet shot rang out through the catacombs. They both quickly turned to see Raoul striding towards them hand shaking in furry, gun pointed at them both. "Raoul…" Christine said, wondering what in the world he was doing there. "Viscount; what a pleasure to see you again." Erik told him, infuriating him even more. Christine looked at Erik, and they talked to each other with their eyes. Another shot rang out and they both jumped, startled out of their revieve. "Christine, come with me." Raoul demanded with, what he thought a great amount of authority. Christine replied "No Raoul. This was my choice. No one made it for me. I love Erik, and that's who I'm staying with." Erik was proud of her, how she stood straight and tall, facing him down. The only noticeable part that showed her fright was how her hands shook. Raoul couldn't see them because they were behind her. "If you don't come with me Christine, I'll shoot your 'Angel'" Raoul spat out the last word, like it was poison. Christine went pale, and looked at Erik like he was crazy when he started to laugh. "And I'd like to see you try that one. I bet that I would be the first man to die from a blank bullet." Raoul looked shocked. How could this monster know what kind of bullets he was using? Raoul looked at Erik with such hatred in his eyes, that Christine was scared for Erik, even though the bullets were fake. If Erik wasn't careful, he might loose his life. Christine was shaken out of her thoughts when she heard a hand being slapped across a face. She jerked her head up to see Erik standing before Raoul, and Raoul looking shocked; as if no one had ever dared to slap him, or tell him no about anything, but then, Christine thought to herself, he HADN"T been denied anything, so this was a night of firsts. "You, You, MONSTER!" Raoul shouted when he got over the shock. Erik had went back over to Christine was holding her as she sobbed into his shoulder, thanking God that Erik wasn't hurt. Christine whipped up her head, a fire mixed with hatred in her brown eyes, a hatred that shocked both of the men in the room. "Raoul, you say that Erik is a monster, when it is YOU that is the monster." Christine was starting to shout. "I am HAPPY here! Why can't you UNDERSTAND that?" Christine shocked them both again, when she walked up to Raoul, and slapped him with a force that multiplied Erik's by ten that made him stumble. Christine moved to slap him again, when Erik came up behind her and captured her arms, pinning them behind her. "No darling." He whispered into her ear. "He's been humiliated enough…by us." He then whispered his plan in her ear, the one that he had started planning not 2 minutes before, when he saw Christine slap him across the face. He had chuckled inwardly. His little Christine showing her temper. "Viscount. I will gladly show you the way out, no harm will come from me." Erik smiled inwardly…"Just from Madam Giry and the other ballet rats." He said to himself, and looked at Christine who was thinking the same thing. "Yu can be sure of that Raoul." Chrisitne told him, hoping that that would help him trust Erik, even though he was about to be humiliated even more…
