Leaving

Christine opened her eyes and sat up. She yawned and looked down. Erik wasn't there. 'He must have gone to pack.' she thought. She got out of bed and stretched her arms. She looked around and then went into her little bathroom to fix up. She picked out a simple, dark red dress. She added some rose scented perfume and walked over to her door. She opened it and peeked out. No one was there. Christine came out and looked around for Erik. She looked in all the rooms, but he wasn't in any of them. She called out for him, but no one answered back. She went out by the lake and waited for him. Finally, she saw him walking towards the lake. He got into the gondola and rowed towards her. When he got out, she kissed him lightly and asked if she had a suitcase of some sort. He told her that he had one for her in the living room. She wanted to pack for herself, but he insisted that he do it.
''Erik, I assure you, I can pack them myself.''
''Christine darling, I don't want you doing any work. Besides, ladies shouldn't be doing work.''
So, Christine waited for him to be done. When he packed her suitcase, he took it up to wherever he had his. Christine decided to read a book while she waited for him to return. She walked into his library and seleccted a book form one of the shelves. She started to read and found herself completely absorbed into it's pages. Suddenly, she felt two hands on her shoulders. She gasped and looked up. Erik was standing over her, grinning. Christine laughed and stood up.
''When are we leaving?''
''Tonight, when it's dark.''
Later, when it was dark outside, Erik took Christine and they headed out. When they reached a wall, Erik reached out and pushed something. A moment later, a passage in the wall opened and they stepped through. Christine looked around. They were outside the opera house. Erik's carriage was there. Erik put Christine's stuff inside with Christine and then got up on the bench and they started off. Christine leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes. She was starting to feel alittle tired. After a few minutes, she was asleep.
A bump in the road made Christine wake up. She rubbed her head and felt the carriage coming to a stop. She sat up and patted down her hair. She heard Erik get off the bench and open her door. He smiled and took her hand. She got out and looked around. It was still night time and dead silent. The carriage was pulled up next to a house. It was small, but looked very nice. Christine smiled and put her arm around Erik.
''This will be our home for the next week. Then, we can return to the opera house.'' Erik told her. He led her inside and she found that it was even more nice on the inside. There was a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. Christine noticed that there was a piano in the living room.
''Erik? Have you been here before?''
''Yes, I have some things here too. No one has ever even came down near this house.''
Erik kissed her head and moved over towards the piano. He motioned for her to follow. She walked over and stood by the piano. Erik sat down and thought for a moment. Then he started to play and Christine followed by singing.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
She finished and looked at Erik. He got up and wrapped his arms around her.
''That was beautiful.''
''Thank you, Erik.''
''We will have your lessons here.''
''Alright.''
Erik sat back down and started to play.
