A Heart Or No Heart
"How on earth did you get me out of that horrible place?" Erik constantly repeated.
"I told you its completely irrelevant just as long as you are free." Christine lowered her head as if in shame.
"Alright I will leave that question, but does this mean that you have chosen..."
"Just shut up will you! Going on and on about choosing you do not rule my life! When I decide I will decide and if you keep pushing me Erik I'm telling you... you'll regret it... forever! I mean it! You might have forgotten my husband has just died but I haven't and I do have feelings even if you don't!" Christine put her hand to her face but instantly rejected its feel, tugged at her cloak hood when it was freed she placed it over her entire head and face hiding her immaculate hair and regretful face then started to hurry away from hurt Erik.
"Wait..." Erik sobbed.
"Wait..."
"Wait! I said!" He fiercely roared.
Christine stopped, turned and faced Erik, his stance was very proper the mask, the only visible item on his face, he stared at her longingly, waiting, wanting her to return to his arms with all the hope in the world that she would,could love him. With sad glassy eyes Christine returned his gaze, the tragedy, sadness of her life all reflected in the faint creases upon her brow. She felt she had to say this, even though she was hiding her true feelings, she knew she was the only heartless one out of the two.
"I'm sorry, I... can't, not again, it ended that night Erik, that night you left Raoul and me to go, your holding on to a false hope ,a lie, I'm sorry." Christine held back as many tears as she could but it was no use they were still flowing silently down her pale, ageing face. She went to turn away to hide in the shadows so Erik couldn't see her.
"You... you heartless guttersnipe! How could you say such things! I have waited an eternity for you and your love thinking that someday, somehow you would except me for the way I am. I know Raoul has gone but the love I offer you is nothing like the love he gave to you! It is for you to judge it, you alone! Christine I thought I knew you I thought the world of you but to say such a thing! I am truly hurt, YOU are the one who has no feelings not me, I hope I never see you again, just lay down and DIE as far as I'm concerned!" Erik spat at Christine tears of anger of love ran down his blood red cheek, he strode up to Christine and looked down her in a suffering, loathsome way then went to walk away.
