For some reason I find it difficult for me to wake up in the morning. Rolling over I flopped onto the floor and groaned, I had hit my head against the cold…stone floor. Standing I adjusted my mask and changed into fresh clothes after all I had to look nice, today was Christine's first opera that she was to be in.
As usual I sat in MY box and waited for the wonderful Mme. Giry to come and give me my program for tonight's showing of the newest Opera ' Dela Une' it is said to be very well written. While I watched I couldn't help the fact that my eyes stayed glued to Miss.Daae, and to my surprise someone else's eyes were too.
In the box beside me I noticed a young man, who was accompanied by the Count De'Chagny so automatically I assumed that this boy was his son. He kept his eyes on MY Christine, smiling when she danced even though she's MINE! Furious I watched the remaining of the opera and then left to get hold of Christine before he could. Catching her in the hallway I pulled her into an empty room. She looked at me strangely "Is something wrong?" She asked. "Yes…" I hissed at her, she flinched when I grabbed her by the arm (not to hard though) "Does the name Raoul ring a bell to you?", Christine looked up at me "Is he here?", I turned from her releasing her from my grasp. "Yes, but I forbid you to see him." A shocked look came across her face "Why not?". Her stupid mind pissed me off so much that I grabbed her and pushed her against the wall, a gasp came form her red painted lips. "Because, you belong to me" I couldn't contain myself any longer. I forced my lips to hers as she struggled to pull away from me but I had to tight of a grip on her. Christine cried out "Erik!" Her pleading was no good for her now. My hands ran along her body as I kissed away the single tear drops on her face, but soon she stopped pleading and quieted down, her head fell to the side and her hand reached up to cup my face.
At that moment I pulled away from her and left the room. How could I be doing this…she was a child and I a full grown man!
Back in my lair I spent the remainder of the night staring at her picture and soon once again found myself enjoying the young features of the girl. In my mind she was going to be mine in less than a few hours.
