Chapter 12: In Plain Sight

Hope had Erik's cloak wrapped around her shoulders as a comfort blanket and winced when Madame Giry hit Erik on the back of his head,

"Christine's child is your son!" she yelled for about the 25th time, Nadir had counted,

"It doesn't make any sense" Erik expressed with a stunned expression,

"So you're saying there is a chance, Hope's vision could be mistaken?" she asked hopefully and Erik frowned,

"Well... I... It was one time! How could I have conceived a child when it was only one time?" he defended causing Hope to blush as she took a sip of her tea,

"One time is sometimes enough, Erik" she murmured before standing,

"Now can we please stop talking about this because I don't want anything setting off a vision that might accidentally show me Erik's... Night beneath a moonless sky" she said embarrassed causing Erik to slam his hand over his face in embarrassment,

"On to the more important matter. After I have kicked Gangle in arse. What are we going to do? Christine and Raoul are on their way here and if they find out that Erik is Mister Y. We are all in serious trouble" he reminded them,

"Thank you for stating the obvious, Nadir" Madame Giry said sarcastically,

"Stop arguing" Hope said firmly as she stood,

"Christine thinks she is coming to perform in a simple acting performance so she has nothing to suspect that Erik is here but her husband might grow suspicious when he cannot meet face to face with his wife's employer because no offence Erik but he'll instantly know its you" she said,

"No taken" Erik assured, watching as his friend held a look of thought,

"Perhaps there is something I can do... Christine and Raoul now Erik's face but they don't know Mister Y's face. I have never tried it before but... I can try and use my magic to..." she began gently and Erik held a soft expression,

"Remove my disfigurement" he murmured, taking a step towards her,

"Do you really think it could work?" he asked,

"It may take me all night to harness enough power but... I think I can do it" she said and Erik nodded,

"Then let us do it" he said, watching as Hope nodded in agreement.

Small chapter because I simply wanted to show the plan! haha But the next chapter shall be longer!
