Oh my gosh guys, I'm soooo sorry about how long it has taken for me to update! I've had both writer's block, dealing with school, college stuff, and I'm starting a blog so that has been taking up my time recently. I admit that the main reason for not updating was that my friend and I kind of left the Phantom phase and moved on to Sweeney Todd and Les Miserables and I'm busy making with a Passion of the Christ play my school is doing for Easter. But earlier today I saw the story in my documents and got a sudden desire to start writing for it again. Let's hope I stay with it more!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ALL RIGHTS GO TO GASTON LEROUX AND ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER! I ONLY OWN ERIKA AND ANY OTHER CRAZY CHARACTERS IN THIS!

As Erika was getting ready for bed later that night she saw the very same black mark that Erik had noticed earlier. She gently touched her finger tip to it and traced the lines of the mark. With a frustrated sigh she stopped looking at it and decided that she was going to have to keep it from Erik no matter what.

She knew that it would be difficult but figured it would be more difficult telling him about what it was. As she tried to sleep she attempted to push away the bad memories that tried to plague her mind. Erika fell into a fitful sleep that had silent tears running down her face the entire night.

Erik watched silently from the small opening of the attic door that led into Erika's room. He watched the tears running down her face and worried over what was causing them. As he closed the door he sat on one of the steps of the ladder and fell into thought.

He thought about everything and anything; from his Christine to coming here and meeting Erika. The Christine and Raoul of this time were different but yet the same and Erika was definitely him reincarnated. But he still had a difficult time trying to adjust to this world. So much had happened since he had arrived that he hadn't gotten the chance to readjust or think about his situation.

With a heavy and tired sigh he climbed down the ladder and went to his room where he silently thought and dozed until the sun came up.

I know it was very short but the next one is coming tonight I promise you! My friend wrote it out and sent it to me and I just have to review it before publishing it. Hope you guys enjoyed it and please review!
