Chapter Twelve

A/N: Sorry I didn't update Monday! I was changing rooms with my parents, so now, I have the computer in my room! Yay! Please R&R!

Oh, and this chapter was especially made for Phantom-Phan4ever!

Christine's eyes fluttered open, she felt herself on something soft. Where was she?

She was in a bed.

The ceiling was color gold.

She sat herself in a sitting position. Looking around she saw she was in her room. But, right now that didn't really matter to her, right now; all that clouded her head was thoughts of Erik. She brushed off the blankets that laid on top of her and jumped off the bed. Where could Erik be? She tried to open the door but couldn't. Locked? Why would the door be locked? She banged on the door and waited for someone to open.

"Meg! Nadir! Open the door!" she yelled angrily. But, no one answered. Angrier than before she yelled. "Meg! Nadir! Open this door!" Finally she heard a key being placed inside the door. The door opened and in came Nadir.

"Are you okay? I heard yelling, did anything happen to you?" Nadir asked concerned. She looked at him as if he was crazy. Of course she was fine, why wouldn't she be? But, she put that question behind and asked another one.

"Where's Erik?" she sounded very impatient.

"He's in a room with Mademoiselle Giry. We have been taking care of him for the last few hours. Mademoiselle Giry has been cleaning his wounds and stitched them once more. He lost a lot of blood, and he is paler than before. But, I have come to a conclusion… he will survive." Christine gave a cry of relief. She had to seen him now. God, he had to tell him how much she loved him, how much she cared for him, and that she will be willing to spend her life with him!

"Let me seen him!" She said happily. Nadir could not help but smile. He could very much see the love she has for Erik. He led her to Erik's room which was also locked. Odd… she thought. When they entered, Christine rushed over to Erik's side. He looked very much like he was dead. His skin was pale white and was freezing. His body was so still, no movements at all. She placed her small delicate hands on his muscled chest. She felt his heartbeat. It was moving normally as if he was asleep. She turned and faced Nadir.

"May I stay with him? Alone… I mean." She asked with the voice of an innocent child. "You and Meg may go and rest…" Nadir shook his head.

"No, it is far too dangerous to stay alone with him." Christine's brows furrowed. Dangerous? How could anything be dangerous right now?

"What do mean Nadir? Is that why my door was locked?" Nadir nodded his head and sighed.

"When we placed you in your room and Erik In his, Mademoiselle Giry and I went to look for the Vicomte. We… w-we didn't find him. I think he might have escaped or is still here, hiding. That's why I locked your door, Christine. If he is still here, he can sneak in and take you."

"Then why not just lock the door like you did when I was sleeping?" She asked. She wants to be with Erik alone. Why must life be so complicated? Why can't she just live happily ever after with Erik?

"Erik's door was open and I was keeping watch. But, I cannot leave you alone, Christine. Do you think Erik would want you to be here, and risk getting caught by the Vicomte?"

"No…" She whispered. He was right. Erik would probably get very angry if he found out that she was alone when she shouldn't be. With a heavy sigh, she laid down on the bed and snuggled next to Erik. She could have sworn that she saw his lips give a tiny smile.

From behind the shadows, Raoul stood there smiling at the sight of his beautiful Christine. Yes, she belonged to him. He will certainly get Christine, one way or another. He felt himself harden, picturing he and Christine making love. She was a beautiful sight, and her screams, he wanted her so bad. The demon was right, he could have any girl he wanted but, in this he was wrong. Christine did not love that demon, she felt pity and sorrow. But love? No…

"My sweet Christine, do not worry I will take you from this nightmare and truly make you mine."

With a finally sigh of happiness, he went back into the shadows, ready to start formulating his plan…

Christine awoke when she felt Erik shifting. Her eyes were half open and well, she was half asleep.

"C-C-Christine?" Her eyes shot open. She turned to face him and saw that he was awake. He tried to speak once more but Christine placed her lips on his. He was still weak but he couldn't help but use the strength he has to kiss her back. She began to moan and started to become breathless. But, Erik wouldn't let go of her lips, he thrusted his tongue in her mouth and tasted every bit of her mouth. God, he can't live without her kisses. She moaned even louder. She followed his steps and let their tongues dance together. She was in the need of air, but couldn't pull away, the kiss was so intoxicating.

After a few seconds, he pulled away. They were both gasping for air. Christine gave a little smile. She felt so happy to see him awake. As Erik tried to sit up he suddenly gave a cry of pain.

"Oh God, Erik! I completely forgot! Stay here I'll go get Nadir and Meg." She was about to climb off bed, when Erik grabbed her by the waist and moved her on top of him.

"No, you are not going anywhere my little angel. I do not want you to go get them just yet…" He said while a mischievous grin was spreading on his face.

"What do you mean by that…?" Erik's grin spread wider. He crushed his lips to hers. He was surprised when she was just as hungry as he was. He rolled over to place her on the bottom of him. God, she was so beautiful! He removed his lips from her mouth and began kissing her neck.

"Erik!" She felt a sensation in her thighs. Erik once more began to kiss her lips and his hands began roaming down her waist, feeling the curves of her body. Christine could feel him harden which made her blush. He removed his lips from her as he slowly began to pull down her dress to her waist. He smiled at her and whispered "beautiful" before he pressed his lips on hers once more.

This was a night they would never forget…
