The rest of the night was sleepless. Hissing out a sigh I once again watched the angel sleeping in my bed. Wait…was that movement. Straightening I saw her doe eyes slowly blink open. It took only one look around for her to begin to struggle. Poor lamb. Stepping towards her I trailed a hand along her bar leg, causing her to, oh I suppose...scream? What an awful noise. Giving her a sharp pinch; she silenced. "Good lass…" I murmured crouching down by the bed and stroking her hair from her eyes. "What a night eh? Shall I take you back?" Pausing I allowed a smirk to cross on my lips. "No...I don't think so." Standing I looked down at her and brushed my knuckles over the bruises on her skin. Yes. Not yet...she didn't deserve to be taken back yet. Leaning down I gave her a kiss on the pale skin of her neck. Humming to myself I strolled out of the room. Leaving her to shriek in my absence. Ah, so many different types of music eh? Chuckling at this thought I slammed the door behind me, once more her cries reached my ears. So enough she'd learn. She'd learn that she was mine. I'll make her learn.
Later that day I plopped her back onto her dorm room bed and left. She swore not to tell...and so help me god if that little bitch told. I didn't feel the need to lose control again, well at least not until that bastard of a child Raoul came back into the picture. What a fop, thinking she loved him more then me. Oh he'd learn too. They'd all learn.
Night by night performances crept by, her face haunted me. The screams tortured my dreams. She needed me….needed my by her side….how could she deny me after what we shared? Batting at the tears in my eyes I stood from my organ bench and stuffed my hands in my pockets. She needed me. Repeating this to myself I began pacing. I had to get the boy out of the picture. Christine doesn't need a boy. She needs a man. She needs me.
She needs me.
"Erik….?" A soft voice called. Whirling around I gazed down at. "What in the hell..?" Christine? How had the damn wench found her way down here? "Erik please." She said simply as if it made any difference. Oh she knew that I had seen her with that fop. And now she was going to apologize? We'll just see about that. "Get out." I snapped, causing her to take a step away. "Frightened lass?" I demanded…Sweet revenge. Shaking her head she bit down on the precious bottom lip. "Don't do that." Rage shot through me for the fact she was hurting herself. Reaching out I back handed her sharply; sending her sprawling to the floor. I didn't mean to over react, but I hated it when she did that…biting her lip in such a manor was unbecoming. Looking down at her body I sighed and turned, leaving her there. Soon enough she'd learn to respect me.
Because after all.
She needs me.
