Chapter 4

Phantom POV

I entered through the rickety wall that created a secret passage way into Madame Giry room. As I entered I saw her looking out of the window. We sat in tense silence for a few moments before she spoke.

"What were you doing in Luna and Marguerites room? Don't tell me you lost your way to Miss Daae's s room." She said in a taunting haughtiness

"Miss Daae is no longer of any concern to me it is Luna that I think I may want" I spoke as I gazed around her tiny abode.

Madame Giry let out a loud sigh before turning around to look at me. Her eyes seemed to be glazed over heavy with worry. "Erik why….. why do you want Luna? What happened with Christine why the sudden change of heart" The look in her eyes and the sound of her voice turned into an icy venom in which I had never seen. "Did you have your way with Miss Daae, decided that you were done with her and throw her away like yesterday's trash? Do you wish to do the same to Luna and …

At that moment I had had enough of her useless accusations against me. "I assure you that I did nothing of the sort to Miss Daae. How dare you accuse me of doing such filth to her. I am appalled that you think so low of me " Bile seeming thick in my mouth as I spoke and I only seem to be getting louder and more furious by the minute. Giry had token a couple steps back her through great lengths body shook with fear. I quieted down and got a hold of myself before guilt crashed over me. The woman who had gone through great lengths to save me and protect me now stood in front of me with fear quaking in her body. My next words came out in a shaky whisper "I am sorry to have frightened you. You should know by now I would never hurt you. As for Christine I assure you I simply do not feel what I thought I actually felt for her I have done nothing to wrong her in any way. And as for Luna I am still unclear of my emotions for the mute. I don't possibly know why I feel anything for her or even noticed her in the first place. My head hung low as I sat down on the side of Giry's bed my emotions seem to be getting the best of me lately. I felt the bed dip In where Giry sat. She stoked my hair gently as we sat in silence for a moment.

" It is understandable to feel confused about your emotions. I wasn't always in love with Meg's father you know. It's just that sometimes our hearts can be confused with someone we think we love because at the time love is what we were searching for blindly or knowingly but over time our love can actually just be adoration of the other person and then the one we truly are meant to love will step into our lives and then nothing will make since because you know what love is and experienced it but you have never felt it so strongly and you become confused with your emotions. You just have to let time and the heart decided what is right for you."

I contemplated what she said before rising to my feet and heading towards the passage way before Giry stopped me .

" Erik just think about what I said and if you do choose to purse Luna be sure it is her that you want. Luna has been through a lot in her short life time and adding this to list of things that have hurt her will probably be her breaking point. She may seem strong Erik but she is as fragile as a snow flake. She is easy to crush and destroy even with the slightest pressure.

"You worry too much for your own good Madame Giry" And with that I wondered down the endless passage ways to my musical domain.

Author note * There will be some Luna and Phantom chapters coming soon. Sorry for the delay.
