Chapter Six

A/N: Oh My God! Forgive me for the late update! I am so sorry! I am starting school soon so; I was busy shopping for things ! I have a year-round so I will start and have hard time updating. But I'll try to update every week when school starts! But for now here's Chapter Six!

Meg and Raoul continued to search Erik's home trying to find a way he escaped or where he is hiding. As for the mob they were still searching as well.

"Raoul here for weeks, we must look through the city. There's nothing down here to search anymore."

But, nothing would convince, Raoul. He would look in the same room over and over for hours. He moved mirrors but no passageways.

"Wait, Meg, come here!" Meg rushed to Raoul's side and faced a mirror that hid behind curtain. "Meg, this one seemed to move. Help me push it." Raoul and Meg pushed the mirror harder and harder. Until finally it opened. Raoul grabbed a torch and stepped into the deep tunnels with Meg behind him.

As soon as she stepped inside the mirror quickly closed shut. Meg knew there was no going back, now they must go where the tunnels lead.

"Are you alright?" Raoul asked. Meg only nodded as an answer. He held out his hand and she reluctantly took it.

Should I trust him? I guess I should, he'll lead both of us to Christine. She thought. She was shocked and a bit frightened by the way the tunnels looked. Spider webs in every corner, water leaking from the ceiling, and rats crossing the floors.

They both came to a stop when they saw the wooden door. Raoul seemed to know that opening that door was not going to be easy. He grabbed the chain that hung from the door and pulled it but, the door wouldn't open. He didn't care if it would kill him, he was determined to open that door.

Christine needs to be rescued from that infamous monster. The only way to find him is on the other side of that door. He thought more about Christine. All those thoughts gave him strength, and the door slowly began to open. He pulled harder and harder. Until finally the door opened. Sweat was coming down from Raoul's head. He felt he lost a lot of blood. He felt so weak; he put all his strength in opening that door.

No, don't give up now! Christine still needs me. He got all the strength he had and ran out the door. It was another way to the outside world. Who knows where Christine could be.

"Monsieur de Changy?" He turned around and saw a women standing out in the cold without a care.

"Madame Giry? What are you doing here?" All she did was give a mischievous smile. That made him get confused. Meg came out from the tunnels when she heard her mothers' name.

"Monsieur de Changy, I know where Christine is."

Christine's eyes opened when she felt someone scoop her up. She looked up and saw Erik smiling down at her.

"Forgive me, I didn't mean to wake you." She looked and saw that the sun was going down but she didn't care she happy to sleep a little more. Christine snuggled into his arms and spoke.

"Are we here, Erik?" Christine asked laying her head in his shoulder feeling somewhat comfortable in his arms. Erik smiled and held her tighter.

"Yes, mon ange. We are here, it's only a little far away from Daroga's home." Erik gave her a kiss on her forehead. "Now Christine, if you'd like to see your home, I must put you down." He gently set her down and quickly missed the warmth she had upon his chest.

Christine let out a great gasp when she saw her new home. It was a beautiful castle-like house! Roses where blooming around the house. A beautiful garden can be seen from both sides of the house. The scent was a sea breeze. She could hear waves splash against the land. The memories of her house by the sea, her father telling her stories of a girl named Little Lotte, and Raoul. Raoul…

No! No, she can't think of Raoul. She has Erik. She has her beautiful angel. The man who taught her to sing, he was the one who calmed her when she cried, he sang to her when she had nightmares. He was the man she was meant to be with.

Yes, he is my angel. My angel.

"Come Christine, I'm sure you'd like to see the inside as well." Erik said holding Christine's hands and pulling her inside. She shook her head to get mind off her thoughts. Once they were inside Christine let out another great gasp. The inside was… was…

There weren't any words to describe it!

She was speechless! It was so magnificent! The furniture looked beautiful, the walls where a beautiful peach color. The floors were a shiny caramel color. There were paintings everywhere. One painting caught Christine's eye. It was a cross with a rose stuck to it and the rose had a black bow around it. Why would Erik live in the bottom of a opera house when he had a house like this?

"Oh, Erik…" she barely managed to gasp out before she went speechless once more.

"You like it?" He asked but by her expression he already knew the answer. "Come, mon ange. I'll show you to your room." He took her hands once more and led to and up the stairs. They reached the second floor and went down the hallway. There were several silver color bedrooms doors. Christine was certain there was more than six.

Finally, they reached the end of the hall. They stopped in front of a golden color door. Across that door was another golden door.

That's his bed chamber, no doubt about that. She thought.

Erik opened the door and Christine's eyes widened with amazement. This room was just as beautiful as the room she saw before!

The walls were white with waves of gold in the top and bottom of each wall. Her bed seemed queen size. (A/N: I don't know if people in the 19th century knew about bed sizes. I just put that to paint a picture in your mind. Anywho, back to the story…) White bed sheets and golden pillows and a white bed canopy. A gold dresser was on the other side of the room with accessories and next to it a beautiful wardrobe with roses painted on it.

This room seems more for a princess, not for me!

Erik couldn't help but smile at her expression. He knew she liked it but for the heck of it he asked her: "Do you like Christine?"

"Oh, Erik! It's beautiful! I love it!" She turned to face Erik and wrapped her arms around his neck. Without a hesitation Erik hugged her back.

"Erik, I don't deserve this! This is too precious! How can you do this after everything I've done to you?" Christine hugged him tighter, not wanting to let him go. He felt tears on his shirt and gently pushed her away. Christine looked confused but Erik's smile blew the confusion away.

"Christine, I did this because you have done everything to me. You should me you passion, your kindness, and above all you showed me you are not afraid of my face." He took her hands and his smile grew. "Mon ange, you deserve the world." She gave a little happy cry and threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight. After a few seconds she stepped away. "Lenore, will be your personal servant. I will see she is to help you with your corset. Goodnight Christine."

Erik turned and went down the hall but stopped in his path when he heard running footsteps behind him.

"Erik, wait!" He turned to face her and then she slowed and began walking towards him. He gazed at her and then realized she was only a breath away. She cupped his face and got something he didn't expect.

A kiss.

She kissed him and opened her mouth to invite him in and thankfully he got the invitation. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in closer. They both were holding each other tightly. Christine moaned when their tongues' danced. She felt this sensation inside of her, a feeling that made her want him more. They pulled away when they both longed for air. They both felt silent, the only noise was their panting from the kiss.

Only did they both realize that they were still holding each other. She lifted her head to his ear and whispered, "I love you, my angel." Then she brushed her lips on his cheek. "Goodnight." She said before releasing him and walking to her room and shutting the door.

Erik stayed in the middle of the hall shocked of her actions and words.

A/N: Aww, Erik got a kiss! How sweet! :) Hope you like it! Please Review!
