Memories of a Forgotten Childhood

Part 10

Erik walked faster than before, he didn't care if the other two never caught up to him. Zack could wait, he could discover his secrets later, Christine came first. Erik decided then and there that he would let his angel decide whom she wanted to be with, and if it wasn't him, so be it. He learned that when you love someone, sometimes you need to let go of them. Kite ran to catch up with him, Zack right behind her, "hey are you okay?" she asked him.

"No! I'm missing the only woman I ever loved and you think I'm alright? Go now!" He said, shoving them into a nearby pond, "I wish to be alone! I hate you and your mushy ways!" Erik cried out running away.

Elizabeth ran with Christine's note quickly, as she glanced at the picture of Erik. She had to find him, Christine looked so sad last night. As she continued running she saw him! It was Erik! "Sir!" she called out.

0000000000000000

Erik looked at the that woman and sneered, "Yes?"

"I have a note for you." She said handing him Christine's note. Erik snatched the note, carefully examining the hand writing he confirmed it was indeed Christine's. Smiling at her penmanship and how childlike it was, he opened the envelope, and carefully took out the letter. When he brought it closer to him, he could smell her perfume on the letter. Breathing it in he moaned softly. "Christine." Quickly he unfolded the paper and read silently:

Dearest Erik,

I miss you so much! I have urgent news to tell you! It's about Raoul, and knowing you, you're clenching your fist in rage right now at that monster's name, but please let me continue. First of all I want you to know how much I love you and how sorry I am for angering you and that this would never have happened if I kept quiet! I'm so mad at myself for this.

Our baby if you are wondering about my bundle of joy, is fine, and will be just like his father. I miss you so, but that is not why I wrote this letter. Oh Erik for the longest time I feared you'd never come for me! Please send word back if you are. Back to Raoul, he has a list of women he has raped and killed. Meg was on the list but as we all know she's still alive. Oh Erik. I'm next on the list! I fear for our child, I fear for myself and most of all I fear for you. Raoul he wants us both dead! I'm frightened. Erik, I can't sing here! I haven't tried though. That's because I'm afraid of what he'll do to me.

Please come for me! I'm at your mercy angel. I miss you deeply and each night when you are not with me, I die Erik. I love you now and always. "Angel of music how I miss you. Lonely are my days. Angel my soul is weak come save me. Take me away with you." I wrote that for you Erik, so to keep you going think of me singing it.

I must hurry on with this, though I could write forever. Please dear love bring me a rose. Raoul has nothing but lilies in his house. I wish to have roses, red ones, they remind me of you. All my love goes out to you, my angel, tutor, husband, phantom, protector, and love of my life. Come to me soon for he plans to do this tonight! Take the carriage with Elizabeth. Remember me always if you do not come.

I will always love you,

Christine Anne Destler

The letter had brought tears to his eyes. "I'm coming Christine!" he cried out. Kite looked kindly at Erik smiling. "Let us help." she said. Erik nodded as they got in the carriage, and it pulled away to the De Changy estate. Staring out the window, Erik thought about his beloved, oh why would she think such things about him anyways? "I get you Christine. I'll save you from that fop if it's the last damn thing I do!"
