Sorry This chapter is short! A special thanks to my friend Ally for helping me with this chapter ^^.

"ECHO!"

Echo sighed as she looked up from her sketching or at least attempt at a sketch. Was it too hard to ask to get a moment of peace around here? It had been a week since Echo and Erik`s "moment" and of her finally free from her punishment. She still limped but her bandages were off and her ankle didn`t hurt as much to walk on anymore. "Echo!"

She rolled her eyes at the panicky voice and got up, shaking her head." Shut up I`m coming, I'm coming, why can`t you yell for Eve or something."

As she got out of her room she found Erik outside her door looking rather panicked, frightened and a bit angry. He held out her IPod." It isn`t working anymore."

Echo quickly grabbed it trying to turn it on and gasped in horror as she stared at Erik."You-you used all the battery!"

"What?" Erik asked impatiently. Echo frowned and shook her head." It`s dead, good-bye, no more music. Dead!"

"No! I`ll fix it!" Erik grabbed the IPod back before he ran to his room. At that moment Eve came out of her room frowning." What`s going on?"

"Erik is having a panic attack, he used all my battery up on the IPod." Echo shrugged smiling. Eve blinked confused."And you`re calm about this why?"

"Do you not know me woman? Always have a spare." Echo laughed holding up a black IPod. Eve looked at her shocked and dumbfounded. Echo patted her shoulder." I always win one way or another."

She slipped back the IPod in her pocket and smiled amused as Erik came back out with the IPod in pieces." How does this damn contraption work?"

"Erik you`ve demolished it to no help, you need electricity, usually I`d say sense you`re a genius you`d know how to fix it but you kind of destroyed it so… yeah no more of my music for you, but there is always Eve."Echo smirked walking back to her room. Eve stared in horror as Erik looked at her in hope." No way! I`m only using it for special occasions! Echo has a back up IPod that she didn`t tell you about!"

"Eve you Bitch!" Echo yelled. Erik immediately turned his attention back to Echo narrowing his eyes. But Echo shook her head holding it tightly against her chest backing up." No, no, no go find your own music!"

"Just one more time!" Erik pleaded advancing towards her. Echo shook her head." Never!"

"I asked nicely, but I suppose I`ll just have to take it by force!" Erik hissed and struggled to get it out of her hands, the two went tumbling on the floor wrestling. Eve watched them and shook her head in amusement and disapproval." Childern wait until marriage, my God I can feel the sexual tension in this room. I`m going to leave now but if you two decided to have sex please leave a sock on the door."

"Hey you`re supposed to be helping me!" Echo yelled at the retreating Eve, but with no avail. Erik and her continued to struggle until Echo finally shoved the IPod down the front of her dress and smirked." If you want it you`re going to have to get it out."

Erik stood up and glared at her but his eyes narrowed at her chest as he though how he`d get it out, but has he did he couldn`t help notice how full her chest was, he forced his eyes away and scoffed." I am a gentleman there for I will keep my dignity and let you have it for now, but mark my words, the Opera ghost gets what he wants."

"Yeah expect for Christ-"But echo caught herself, realizing how much it would hurt him if she said it, but Erik immediately glared at her, his eyes piercing through her as he stalked to her, his tall figure intimidating over her`s. Echo gulped, she wouldn`t admit it, but the way he was looking at her, with some much rage and anger was frightening her. Erik continued glaring as he hissed dangerously." Care to finish those words mademoiselle?"

"No I-I wasn`t thinking, if you really want it you can have the IPod." Echo softly muttered breathlessly. Erik scoffed and turned on his heels." Keep the damn thing."

Echo closed her eyes as she heard him slam one of his mirrors shut leaving the lair. She slowly sank to her knees trembling. How could she have been so heartless to bring up Christine? She cursed herself, she never thought she was that cruel but maybe she was.

You`re no better than your father. She winced at her inner voice shaking her head." No-no I'm better than him."

Really? You brought up the name that would hurt him the most and almost used it against him. "But I didn`t!" She whimpered back.

Aw but that`s the beauty of it, you almost did. You hurt him just like you father hurt you. " No." Echo choked back a sob, but her inner voice didn`t stop there. Next you`ll say anything to hurt him, you`ll abuse him with your words and then it`ll turn into physical abuse. Just like your father did.

"No! Stop!" She whispered in horror clenching her head trying to make the voice stop but it didn`t. It simple sneered. You can`t stop me… and then you`ll take what you want, you`ll wait until he is weak, unstable and insecure, and you`ll take advantage of him, just like your father!"

"SHUT UP!" Echo roared slamming herself against the wall and ripping her room apart trying to make the voice stop but instead it got louder. You can`t silence me! I am you Echo or should I say Elizabeth! We both are the same! And One day I will win and you will give in. You will become just like your father. I`m the monster you fear, you are a monster Elizabeth, when will you let him see it your deformity, your monstrous side!"

"STOP IT! STOP IT! SHUT UP! I HATE YOU!" She screamed ripping her pillows, throwing books against the wall. Just at that moment. Evelyn came running into the room gasping and watching in horror as Echo tore at her room and fell to her knees sobbing tearing at her head. She ran to her holding her friend tightly." Echo stop!"

Echo struggled for a moment but stopped her voice feeling with sobs as she held onto Eve tightly." Make it stop. I don`t want to listen to her anymore, the voice in my head."

Eve held her closer understanding. She was the only person still alive that knew about Echo`s… deformity and voice. Something bad had to happen for the voice to bug Echo again. She held her tighter and whispered softly." It`s alright I`m here."

Echo`s sobs grew quieter as her form became limp as she fell into a sleep. Eve sighed and looked around the room seeing the evidence of Echo`s struggle and torture. She felt tears prick her eyes in return, she felt hatred towards Echo`s Father. Her friend hadn`t always been tortured like this, at least not as bad, it hadn`t started until her father had started abusing her. As she sniffled she heard Erik return to the lair. She knew Echo would not want him to know of this. As Erik came to Echo`s room, to reprimand her and show her that he was no one to be messed with and not so easily weak, but he stopped in pure shock as he saw the state Echo`s room was in and Echo laying limp in Eve`s arms. He quickly went to Eve taking Echo in his arms to check for a pulse. Her pulse was steady but her cheeks still stained with tears and black eyeliner. Her looked to Eve who seemed pale." What happened here? Did she do this?"

"Yes but not to get back at you… I can`t tell you. It`s not my place. She`s just sick, not something you can cure… please she will be alright she just needs to rest." Eve whispered standing up. Erik wanted to press on farther but never had he seen Eve in such a state. He had never seen Eve not happy. Something indeed as wrong. He sighed and simply lifted Echo up placing her in bed. He looked around the demolished room and cracked mirror. What had happened here? Why had Echo done such a thing? Eve looked around too." I`ll- I`ll get her some new pillows and clean the mess up. You-you should just-just go."

"I will help you." Erik simply said getting a broom and dust pan. He watched though as Eve picked her things up and there away anything that wasn`t savable. After they finished Eve silently left the room, Erik following her."Evelyn what is it? Are you alright? What is wrong with her?"

"You`re my idol. You know that you are my friend, brother even, but this… this is something I cannot share with you only she can do that. I`m going to go to sleep now." Eve sighed and simply went to her room. Erik stared there confused for a moment, but he went back to Echo`s room and placed a chair next to her as he watched her sleep. She moaned and twisted and turned in her sleep whimpering and crying." Don`t hurt me…. I`m sorry I`ll be a good girl…. I`m sorry."

He frowned as she cried in her sleep. He gently placed a hand on her cheek, immediately her body relaxed as she let out a sigh and fell into a peaceful sleep. Erik withdrew his hand and stared down at her, whispering softly." Sleep safely child, While I`m here nothing will harm you, not even your dreams. I`ll be your Angel."
