Erik: Ha!

Me: LET ME FINISH YOU DOLT! ( sighs) Expect for Echo and Eve

"Can I go with you?" Eve asks for the hundredth time as Erik tries to block the annoying girl out, putting on his cape. Eve sighs and bounces up and down grabbing his cloak." Please!"

"Stop it! You must stay to watch after Echo, though last time was quite unsuccessful. She still has two days of her punishment to endure, until then you both shall stay here." Erik gives them both a cool look as Echo laid on her bed reading and listening to Eve`s IPod, since Erik wasn`t kin on giving her`s back anytime soon. Echo rolls her eyes." Oh for all that seems to be righteous, take her with you Erik I won`t get up, I'm feeling lazy today."

"Why do I not believe you?" Erik asks sarcastically. Echo shrugs as she goes back to her book. Eve throws herself in front of him."You love us right?"

"Love? I love nobody… I`m incapable of such an emotion any longer." Erik grimly and curtly says. Eve sighs." Not like that… okay let`s shorten this down. You love me don`t you? As a friend, as an annoying younger sibling? As Family!"

Erik stared down at Eve shocked. Did this girl actually consider him to be family? He had to admit, He had grown use to both of the girls, their personalities and company. He had learned a lot about Eve that he knew her so well now and Echo… though he did not know much of her home life, he had came to know her habits. In truth they were his only friends, and family like, besides Madame Giry. But Madame Giry was hardly on speaking terms with him after what he had done three years ago. He sighed and annoyed looked at her." Get up off the ground, your ruining the dress I bought for you and if you must really know… I suppose I do think of you both as friends and annoying younger sisters, though I have had neither before."

"YOU SEE! SO there you have it! I`m your little sister and I demand you take me with you!" Eve grins jumping up and down as Erik gives her a look of clear distain. Eve whimpers." Please Bubba?"

"Bubba?" Erik blinks. Eve rolls her eyes hardly wanting to have the time to explain it too him." Yeah my way of saying brother it can be your pet name, or would you rather have me call you Brother, Bub, Bubby, bro or broski."

"I`m sorry I asked." Erik groans but smiles a bit. One had to admire her persistence. "I suppose just taking you on a tour wouldn`t be too much."

Eve let out a loud squee as she jumped onto Erik hugging him tightly, smothering him in kisses." Yay! Thank you! Thank you!"

Echo rolled her eyes and off puttingly grabbed her crutches and stumbled away. She couldn`t help but to be jealous that she wouldn`t get to accompany them and that Erik had succumbed to Eve`s winner act. Erik struggled to restrain the rabid phangirl." Now will you please get off of me? If you wish to go, you must dress in something with dark colors."

"Okay!" Eve immediately jumped off of him running to her room. Erik straightened his clothing, knowing he would probably later regret this, but set off to find where Echo had disappeared to. He found her in the Kitchen… cooking. Immediately he knew something was wrong. Once again she was cooking! How should he approach this situation? It could end up badly for him. He cleared his throat." What are you making?"

"Nothing." Echo grumbled as she cracked two eggs into a bowl. Erik awkwardly watched her and opened his mouth to speak again but she began stirring furiously, growling and mumbling incoherent things. Erik decided it was the best to leave her too her cooking and slowly backed out of the room to a wait Eve. As he walked out of the kitchen he noticed at his surprise she was already ready, he raised an eye at her choice in clothing, she choose a dark purple dress and what was that thing in her hair. A sparkly purple head band and sparkly shoes. He rolled his eyes at her taste but stood." On this tour you will remain as silent as the grave or I will not hesitate to end this Tour immediately, do I make myself in any way unclear?"

"Uh no but quick question, how can I possibly be as silent as the grave? I mean it isn`t physical possible in less of course I`m dead." Eve asked confused. Erik stared at the young woman, blinking; he literally thought his IQ had just dropped a couple numbers. He fought to keep back his annoyance and anger at her as he responded through clenched teeth." It is a figure of speech."

"Yeah but why say it if it isn`t possible, isn`t that setting the bar to very high expectation that no one expect the dead and maybe a vampire could possible accomplish?" Eve argued. Erik closed his eyes and tried to count to ten. Eve continued. "I mean it is a very good agreement, like the argument about-"

"SILENCE!" Erik growled. That was enough to shut her up for a bit. He nodded satisfied and simply took her arm and led her through one of his trap mirrors, out of the lair. As soon as they were gone Echo appeared, with a smirk on her lips as she set aside the baking bowl and picked up her crutches she went to Erik`s beloved Organ and stared at it longingly. Erik`s number one rule was not to play or touch his beloved Organ. Echo looked around her. Well he wasn`t here now so who could stop her? She sat down placing her hands in the right position as she began playing simply any song that entered her head she played. She closed her eyes in satisfaction. It had been a long time since she had been given the delight in playing. The ivory keys felt so right under her fingers. She let out a content sigh as she played, her emotions spilling out into the music.

"Oh come on admit it! It was hilarious!" Eve giggled as Erik dragged her back down to the lair furious." Funny? Funny? No it was foolish, childish and downgrading! Now they think I am some kind of Old horny insane man!"

"But you are Insane and let`s admit it, you are a little horny." Eve innocently answered back. Erik growled angrily muttering to himself. He had given her a tour like she has asked. All he asked was for an hour of her behaving, yet she messes it up! Unbelievable. As he raged on, he stopped as music reached his ear`s. Someone was playing his organ, but instead of being angry like he should, he suddenly felt entranced. The music was dark yet beautiful, full of passion, hurt, rage, yet calmness. Whoever was playing played almost like him. Eve seemed to have fallen silent as well but she was smiling like an idiot knowing who was playing. As they reached the mirror, she easily slipped away to her room.

Echo still played too wrapped up in her music to realize she had an audience. Erik was shocked to silence as he saw who was playing. He hadn`t thought it possible for her to play such music with such talent. He couldn`t find it too make her stop, no he was to wrapped into the music, the music caressing his soul as he gazed upon her. It was something about her that always had pulled him toward her. Something that made him excited and even more aroused by her when she looked at him with her blue eyes and her sharp insults and arguments, yet there was something behind those eyes that was so innocent, so fragile and guarded that he longed to unlock it. But as he listened he made a mistake of coughing. Echo immediately stopped playing and swung around." Shit! I mean sorry! I-I shouldn`t have touched it. I`m sorry."

"There is no reason to apologize for you were not vandalizing it, on the contrary, you were making beautiful music erupt from its pipes. I had no idea you knew how to play." Erik reassured her. Echo looked at him slightly guarded but stayed where she was watching him with a small nod." Well there is a lot that you don`t know I can do."

"That was obviously shown today. Where did you learn to play like that?" Erik gave her a small smile coming closer. Echo shrugged." I started with the piano, but basically taught myself how to play the organ, I don`t know I was just playing music that was in my head or whatever came to mind."

"Then no doubt you are a true expert musician." Erik simply stated. Echo felt a blush come to her cheeks. She couldn`t believe she was blushing, never had she been made to blush by a guy, only from embarrassment. She quickly managed to hide it and stood up gather her crutches." It wasn`t much…"

"No stay… do you know how to play other instruments? Sing? Dance?" He quickly ordered, trying not to show his eagerness to find if her talent went farther. Echo laughed a bit as she slowly sat back down." Slow down, cowboy… well since you`ve asked ever so nicely I have other talents, I`m not great at art, but it doesn`t stop me from drawing. I can play the guitar and cello. I suppose you could say I have a thing for poetry and as for singing… Well I don`t know, I don`t think I have an operatic voice. I can sing low and not very high. Nah that`s Eve, I know she seems to be hyper and you can`t really tell, but she`s a soprano, not the most amazing singer I`ve ever heard , but not awful, but she`s also tone death so don`t even try to get her to sing the melody you want her too. She can`t she just does her own thing. She has one of those voices that goes good with lullabies, while my voice. Well to be truthful goes with more sad, slow music… music that you`d play at a funeral."

Erik simply stood there and studied her for a moment in a new light. Perhaps there was more to Echo than meets the eye. He nodded understanding." Perhaps we shall play together at some time, however at the moment you should rest… I have shortened your punishment, Tomorrow it will end."

"I guess it`s a good night and thanks." Echo nodded as she stood. Erik nodded and looked at his Organ but sighed and turned stopping her with his voice before she got to her room." You are allowed to play my instruments as long as you cherish them as I and promise me that you will not abuse them."

"Thank you! Good night Erik!" Echo squealed, yes actually squealed and gave him a hug before departing quickly to hide her blush. Erik stared after her blinking in surprise and confusion. This was the first time he had ever been given a hug from Echo and the first time, he had heard her squeal and seen true happiness from her. He couldn`t deny that he found her squeal to be more pleasant and enjoyable to listen to than Eve`s and he would never admit it too her, but he had found her hug to be…. Refreshing.
