Disclaimer: Erik's song "borrowed" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ep. "Once More With Feeling"
Bunnies
"Wait!" Erik held up his hand to stop the rushing Viscount and his sword.
"What, you fiend?" Raoul halted and flashed his brilliant smile at Christine who stood by wringing her hands.
"I know why it is that Christine no longer loves me!" The phantom dashingly declared, swooshing his cape for good measure.
"As if she ever did…" Raoul halted, wanting to know what madness this man would spout forth.
"I have a theory…" Erik began singing softly, "it must be bunnies."
"What!" Raoul blanched at the ludicrous statement. The phantom continued, now circling around the Viscount, his voice growing louder.
"Bunnies aren't just cute like everyone supposes, they've got those hopping legs and twitchy little noses."
Christine looked desperately to Raoul, trying to figure out the meaning behind Erik's disturbing song.
"And what's with all those carrots, what do they need such good eyesight for anyways. Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies." Erik reached his destination behind the hypnotized fop. "Or maybe midgets."
With that he hefted his sword and brought the pommel down into Raoul's skull. His eyes captured Christine's as Raoul descended into unconsciousness. Her blues eyes were filled with horror. "You really are crazy."
"Crazy like a fox my love." He pounced on her, wrapping his cloak around her, and pulled her into a desperate kiss.
When he released her, he was surprised to hear the air filled with Christine's musical giggle. "Bunnies, honestly Erik. Oh, but look what you've done to Raoul." She kneeled beside the fallen man, and when she was satisfied that he lived still, she once again dissolved into laughter.
"What would you have me do woman, run him through? I had to get rid of him, one way or another."
"I suppose…" Her brows creased as she reached for him. Erik's hand entwined with hers as she pulled him down into the snow beside her. With her silvery laughter echoing around them she wrapped her arms around him, muttering "bunnies" every few seconds before her lips found their way to his.
"I'll never understand women." Erik sighed lamentably.
"Don't be so dramatic Erik. Now where were we, ah yes, I believe Iwas coming to my angel of music."
