Oh and thank you to PhantomPhan01 for your 2 awesome reviews! And the same to Idara!

I turned on my heel back toward the lake. I felt as though in a trance. Suddenly As the water hit my toes my trance broke. I forgot how freezing the water was. I knew I had to go find the Phantom though. I slowly went into the water so that he couldn't hear me from where he was.

Here goes! I swam as quietly as I could but as fast as I could. I had to get out of that water I swam round the corner and farther down the lake. Finally I saw a large cave like room. It had candles all around. Just then I heard the music stop.

I slowly swam up to the entrance and tried to stay close to the wall. It started to get shallow were I was at so I stood. I looked around and saw the man sitting at an organ writing down something, most likely music. I realized he began to play again. His music set me under another daze. Slowly the music began to rock me back and forth; I felt myself, drifting into this beautiful music. It was like a sea of waves slowly, almost lustfully rushing to the shore slowly down again, and then rising in passion and emotion.

I closed my eyes as the music flowed through me; rush into my veins and out again. Suddenly someone was singing, I listened closely to the passion in the words. It was beautiful. A second later the music stopped. I felt as though I was through from my dazed state. This beautiful music stopped and so did the singing, once I realized I was the singer.

Great! Why was I singing? I knew I wasn't supposed to be here. Why did I begin to sing? What was wrong with me?

"Who are you!" the man demanded. I had nowhere to go but back the way I came. Before I could even turn around, the man leapt into the water after me. I tried to swim as fast as I could but he grabbed me by my arm.

"Who are you?" he yelled pulling me up to him. I was terrified. He drug me toward the shallowest part of the lake, near the shore of his home. I winced in pain several times as he pulled me out of the water.

He had such a grip on my arm that I could not escape no matter how hard I struggled. "Ow! You're hurting me!" I yelled. He yanked me around and forced me to sit on the organ's bench.

"Once again! Who are you?" I could hear the words drip from his mouth like venom.

"I-I," I stuttered trying not to winced under the pressure of his hands on my arms. "I am Emily Firman!" I screamed.

"Well Madame Firman!" He spat as he finally let go of me. "You are not leaving until you tell me how you got here!" He bellowed as he walk toward a leaver. As he heaved it down, the gate at the entrance started to close.

What is he doing? I can't stay here. Not with this monster of a man!

"Fine!" I spat at him. "I will tell you." I paused for a moment as he turned around.

"Go on." He hissed his eyes full of anger.

"I-I heard you and Christine rehearsing." I said now scared to death. "I followed you." I said starring him right in the eyes. His eyes changed for a moment, realizing it was his fault I was there.

"You followed me?" He said with anger returning to his eyes. "Well we will have to do something about that, now wont we?" He asked menacingly. I bit my lip as my eyes fluttered around the room trying to find a way to escape.

Erik's POV

This girl followed me!

I felt my uncontrollable anger boiling up in my chest. "Well we will have to do something about that, now wont we?" I looked at her, with anger filling my eyes. "I suppose I could just kill you!" I threatened.

"No!" She screamed, knowing she felt helpless and most likely lost in my dark unforgiving world. I took a moment to try to calm myself.

What are you doing Erik! My mind spat at me. You can't hurt her she's just a child! I realized then that I pitied her, was she crying?

Of course she is! You hurt her and treated her like you were a monster! My mind yelled at me as her sobs grew louder. No you weren't a monster! My mind hissed. You are a monster!

"Fine." I said glancing at her. "I won't kill you. But you can't leave." I said.

"Why on Earth not!" she screamed her heart out.

"I can't have everyone know where I am!" I yelled back. Her tears had stopped for a moment, but as I yelled at her, her tear stained cheeks where covered with newly fallen wet droplets. As her sobs began again I walked closer to her. She had her face buried in her palms, and her hair hung loosely around her face.

She was beautiful, everything about her was. Her voice when she sang had passion and so much emotion and feeling in it. Admittedly I was surprised by the sudden presence in my lair, but when she sang it was as if my sweet Christine was singing, perhaps even better.

No that can't be! Christine was taught by you.

No, no it's true my lessons increased Christine's skills amazingly but, this girl Emily, had the voice of an Angel.

"I-I'm sorry." I said surprised at myself. She stopped crying and looked up at me utterly confused.

"W-What?" she breathed.

"I am sorry, that you have to stay. But I can't have my secrets getting out." I looked at her, my eyes softening and almost pleading to be forgiven.

"I won't breath a word!" She said trying to get out of her punishment.

"Fine, I will let you go but!" I said point my finger upwards, "You must earn my trust."

Trust? What is trust?

As I spoke I motioned for her to stand. She silently followed me to the swan room hidden by my red Persian curtains. "This is your room, there are a few dresses in the closet; and will check on you every so often." I said trying to be hospitable. "Are you hungry?"

Well how was that? I hope you liked it. I know Erik probably should have flipped out a little more, but if I didn't make him be nicer in the end, it wouldn't make sense later on.

Thanks guy for reading! More reviews please!

Erik: Hey, more reviews came in!

Me: I know, I told you they would come around. Maybe a few of them can give you a hug? With all the stuff you've been through your whole life, you need it!

Erik: No I don't feel very comfortable with physical contact.

Me: Oh don't be silly!*gives him hug*
