Chapter 4

Madam Giry stopped when she heard Christine say, "I am Pregnant."

She turned and stared at her adopted daughter with a stony look on her face, then she said slowly "how long have you known, who is the father?"

Christine looked at her with saddness in her eyes and said, "Ive known since the opera's last Masqurade ball, and I know what your thinking Madam and your right the child is Eriks." Madam Giry looked Christine straight in the eye and said, "how dare you, you slept with him then ran off with another man, even after you found his child beneath your heart you broke his and now you come back here most likely wanting redemption!"

"Please Madam do not be angry I must know if what you said was True and that he is gone or if you know if he really is alive, please I must know," Madam Giry felt sorry for Christine, she must have traveld for days just to find her and she prayed Erik would forgive her for the betrayl she was about to commit.

"Christine Erik is alive Madam Giry said but he is only a shell of his former self since you left, he came here actually two days ago needing a place to hide from the police.

Christines eyes widened "where is he I must find him, tell me?!"

Madam Giry said wearly "he did not tell me specificly where he was going but he said somwhere near the Rouen France and he did not tell me anymore.

Christine stood up on shaky legs "I have to find him. "All in good time my child" Madam Giry helped Christine stand and said now why don't we get you some tea and you can explain to me where your fiance is.

Suddenly a knock /or rather/ a banging on the parlor door was heard.

Meg came rushing in nervous as heck saying "Its the Vicomte he wants us to give back Christine, I think he's drunk!

"Christine Meg said quickly hide in the closet, he is really angry and I am unsure if he'll hurt you!"

Meg quickly shut the closet doors just as the Vicomte burst in, hair a mess, shirt stained and Christine /who could smell him even in the closet/ almost vomited from the stench of him. "Where /hic/ have you got my bride you floozy's? /burp/ "I want her baaack." Raoul clumsily drew his sword and attempted to scratch Megs bright yellow wallpaper to death.

Meg attempted to hold the Vicomte upright but he collapsed into the stuffed animal pile in the corner.

When both woman were sure he was knocked out cold they ushered Christine into the kitchen and packed her a satchel of food.

Madam Giry led Christine to the stables and said quietly "my dear Child you have always been a daughter to me please don't break Eriks heart again, he deserves better than that."

Christine hugged Madam Giry for possibly the last time before mounting her horse.

"Thank you for everything" Christine said smiling and with that she rode away the image of her two dear friends imbedded in her memory.
