"Christine please wake up. Erik is sorry he was mean. So sorry. If Christine will wake up, Erik will make her the happiest of women. He will make her smile again. Erik will take Christine out. Anywhere she wants to go. Erik and Christine can sing all day if it will make Christine happy. But Christine must wake up first." Erik kissed her hand for the hundredth time since she had been placed in the room. He had refused to leave her side for two days, only letting goes of her hand when the nurses came bothering them.

"That sounds nice, Erik." Erik looked up to see Christine's eyes open and her smiling at him.

"Christine." Erik breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Erik, I'm tired, and I want my bed."

"Soon, my love. Soon." Christine smiled one last time and went back to sleep.

ECECECECECECECECECECECECECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECECE

"Erik, I want to go home."

"We will." Erik's heart swelled with pride and joy as he heard her refer to his house as home for the first time.

"Today, Erik."

"We'll see what the doctor says."

"Please, Erik. All they're going to want to do is monitor me, and you and I both know that you and Sarah are going to do more fussing over me than any of these nurses are. Please, Erik."

'We'll see, Christine." Erik tried to sound annoyed.

"It would make me happy."

"Go to sleep."

"Erik, you promised." Christine pouted, folding her arms over her chest and sticking out her bottom lip.

"I said go to sleep." Christine laid down and closed her eyes, attempting to please Erik into getting her out of here. She barely heard the door opening and closing. She opened her eyes to notice Erik was missing. She was rather worried that she had upset him. He had not left her side in the two days that she had been awake. She quickly fell asleep, knowing that Erik would eventually return. He always returned.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Erik walked down the hall; his gloating face hidden by his mask. The young nurses were all trying to rush to patients' rooms in order to keep out of the way of the man who had brought hell to the hospital. He reached the nurses' station. "I want Christine's file."

The nurse turned around to scowl at Erik. "Erik, you may be able to frighten those youngins to your will, but you will not take that tone with me."

"Would you please get me Christine's file? I am taking her home."

"One would think it would be easier for you to keep on an eye on her here with all of these nurses and drugs available to you. She can't get very far."

"Nadir, if you can not keep such morbid thoughts about my fiancé to yourself, then I shall silence your tongue."

"You can't be serious, Erik."

"Of course, I am."

"You can not force that poor girl to marry you."

"Lower your voice, Daroga. This is a hospital. I am not forcing Christine to do anything. Christine loves me, and when she is feeling better, I intend to ask her to marry me."

"Erik, I will not allow you to do this."

"You dare to defy Erik Christine's happiness? Christine is a good girl, and Erik will not allow you to make his Christine miserable. Until you learn to behave yourself, you will stay away from her."

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Christine woke up at the sound of drawers being slammed. She looked up to see a tall brunette. "You're not Erik. Where's Erik?"

The nurse gave her a smile full of pity. She picked up the IV to inject it with the contents of a syringe. "What is that?" Christine scooted away as if it would stop the liquid from reaching her.

"It's just a little something to help you sleep."

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Christine woke up a little groggy. It took her a moment to realize she was back in her room at Erik's house. She attempted to get out of bed. She wanted to go see Sarah in the kitchen. She staggered to the table before falling, catching the edge of it with her hands.

Erik quickly rushed in, scooping Christine into his arms and depositing her back on the bed. He pulled the covers over her legs. "Christine, was there something that you were wanting?"

"I want to go see Sarah."

"I will get Sarah for you."

"Erik, I can go get Sarah myself."

"No, Christine, you will stay in bed. Sarah will come to you." Erik kissed Christine on the forehead and went to go find Sarah.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"What do I tell her if she asks?"

"You will tell her nothing."

"Master, you know with her curiosity, she is bound to ask."

"Nothing. You can tell her nothing." Erik's voice became childlike. "She will be mad at Erik. She will want to leave again."

"Alright, I won't tell her."

Erik heard Raphael creeping around in the hall and called to him before he could knock.

"Master, Mr. Khan is here to see you."

"Sarah, go check on Christine while I deal with this." Erik followed Sarah out of the office and met Nadir at the bottom of the stairs. "I thought we agreed you would stay away."

"Those were your words, not mine. Besides, Erik, I have nothing bad to say about Christine. I simply came over to check on her condition."

"I find that hard to believe, but come, we will discuss whatever is so pressing that you felt a need to come over in my office." Erik quickly made it back into his office with Nadir practically running behind him.

"Erik, I didn't come to discuss business. I came to discuss Christine."

"Christine is fine." Before Nadir could another word in, Erik's name was being screamed, and Erik fled the room

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

"Christine, what are you doing up? Get back into bed right now."

"Sarah, I am going for a walk. I am perfectly fine."

"No, you're not. Now back into bed."

"Sarah, please." Christine headed towards the door as Sarah started yelling for Erik. Before Christine could take another step, Erik was in the room. Her eyes met his as he picked her up to carry her back to the bed.

"Put me down." Christine's body went against her voice as her arms wrapped around his neck.

"Erik, she won't listen to me and stay in bed."

"Christine, unless you desire to return to the hospital, you will stay in bed."

"Erik, I am fine. I want to go for a walk."

"For once, do as you are told, Christine." Erik said sternly.

"I don't want to." Christine pouted, crossing her arms the moment Erik set her on the bed.

"Go to sleep, my love, and we will have lunch in the library."

"Will you play something for me?"

"Of course."

"Promise?"

"Always." Erik placed a kiss on her forehead and headed back to the door. "I mean it, Christine. You will stay in bed until I come get you."He left the room and head back for the office.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"Trouble in paradise?"

"What are you going on about now?"

"I am just saying that if there are problems between you and Christine, it might be best for everyone to let her go."

"Despite your constant attempts at finding something wrong between Christine and myself, things are fine. Christine simply needs her rest, contrary to her wishes to go for a walk."

"I take it then that Christine has no problems over you poisoning her."

"I did not hurt Christine, Daroga." Erik said the words through close teeth, trying to keep from killing Nadir for suggesting such a thing.

"Yes, but does she see it that way?"

"I think it is time you left, Nadir." Erik growled.

"Very well, Erik." Nadir stood up and left the room with every intention of coming back to see if the girl need help leaving.
