Okay please review!

Erik: This is good so far.

Me: Thanks but I think we can motivate people to review.

Erik: How?

Me: Who ever reviews this chapter gets to give Erik a hug!

Erik: What?! You know I don't like physical contact from people I don't know!

Me: Sorry but it's for your own good. Don't you want good reviews?

I walked through the door and saw that I was in the foyer. It was empty, except for a few guards, but they didn't see me. I walk over to the stairs and started to walk up.

"Who are you?" A guard asked. "Do you have a ticket?" I stopped and looked at him.

"No." I said.

"Then you can't watch the opera." He said stepping in front of me.

"No you don't understand. I'm Emily Firmin, the manager's daughter. I am allowed to enter without a ticket." I said as I tried to step around him.

"You're the manager's daughter?" He said. "Jeremy!"

"Yes?" A young man came over to us.

"Go tell Monsieur Firmin that his daughter is here." The man told him as I tried to run up the stairs, but another guard stopped me.

"Where do you think you're going?" He chuckled. I stopped and looked around. I was about to go back down the stairs when I heard footsteps running into the foyer.

"Emily!" My father yelled. I turned around to see him standing on the steps. "Where have you been young lady? We have searched everywhere for you!"

"Hello Papa." I said as the guard allowed me to pass. "I have been with a friend."

"Where! Who?" He demanded. I looked at his face, it was full of worry.

"I'm sorry Papa, I can't tell you." I said trying sound sorry. I wasn't really, I was happy to have been with the Phantom all this time. He was so kind to me. I walked up to my father.

"Why on earth can't you?" He asked as I stepped past him.

"I just can't Papa." I said as I hurried up the stairs. I ran down a hallway and saw the door number five. I waited outside the door for a moment. Should I knock? I looked around then knocked on the door. I heard footsteps walk toward the door, and finally it opened.

I jumped back in shock. "Raoul?" I practically screamed.

"Where have you been? Your father is worried sick, go to his box he will be relieved to see you." He said starring into my eyes.

"Y-you're not supposed to be in there." I finally said. "That is the Phantom's box!" I told him.

"If it is the Phantom's box, what are you doing here?" He asked. I froze not knowing what to say. "Well?" He said trying to will an answer out of me.

"I-I," I paused to collect my thoughts and calm myself. "Good day Monsieur." I said turning to walk off. Raoul grabbed my arm and pulled me in the box. He closed the door and looked at me angrily.

"You didn't answer my question." He said anger welling up in his eyes. I stood there looking at him. He has never lost his temper with me. What on earth was going through his head? I had to lie to him, but what would I say?

"Box five is the ghost's Box. That's where he sits to watch the performances. Although no one ever sees him. My mother actually keeps for Box Five!" Meg said sounding overjoyed. That's it!

"I wanted to see if I could find Madame Giry. She keeps for this box." I said trying to be convincing. He looked at me, some of the anger leaving his eyes.

"She is down stairs getting the corps de ballet ready." He said.

"Oh, merci," I said as I reached for the door. "Tell Miss Daae I said hello." I opened the door and walked out. What was I going to do now? I had no idea where Erik was or where I would find him. I walked back the way I came from. The opera was starting, and I had no idea what to do.

I made my way back to the foyer. This time the guards gave me no trouble. I went back to the wall where I had entered. I tried pushing on it and calling Erik's name softly, but he wasn't there.

Finally after a moment I went down a hallway away from the foyer. I walked all the way down it and found where the dormitories were, I knew where the dressing room was from there, and perhaps Erik was waiting there for me.

A few minutes later I reached the dressing room. I looked around to make sure no one was there, and then I opened the door. I quietly slipped in and looked around the room was empty. It was dark the room was only lit by one candle. I walked over to the desk and looked around. I saw a few open letters, from Raoul. They were to Christine. Why were they writing letters? I look at one and began to read it.

To my dearest Christine,

The words were like a dagger to my heart. I felt a tear fall from my eye, he really didn't love me.

I wish to take you to supper the afternoon of Hannibal, please consider this. I will be seated in box five anxiously awaiting you performance. You will be wonderful Little Lotte.

Your fiancé,

Raoul

They, they were engaged already! When did this happen? I could feel hot tears running from my eyes. I turned around and walked toward the bed. I sat down and began to sob.

"Emily what is the matter?" I heard Erik's voice come from right in front of me. I lifted my head from my palms and saw him on his knees in front of me. He looked worried and his eyes were fixed on me. I pointed to the dresser and he stood.

Erik's POV

I turned around and looked on the dresser, it was a letter to Christine. I began reading, it was from that blasted Vicomte I was very mad at first then I heard Emily's sobs again. I turned quickly and sat on the bed beside her.

"They're engaged." She cried. I thought she didn't care about the Vicomte anymore.

"I did not know you still cared for him." I said rubbing her back; her hair had fallen to the side, exposing her scar. She lifter her head and looked at me, her tears falling down her cheeks.

"I-I don't, it's just that. I though he loved me but he completely forgot me in a day!" She began to cry again. I pulled her close and hugged her.

"It is going to be alright, Emily don't worry." I said cooingly trying to calm her. After a few minutes she lifted her head and wiped away her tears.

"Erik," She said as she inched closer to me. "I-I love you." She said. I almost jumped from the bed.

"W-what?" I asked in shock. She forced a smile and stood. As she looked in the mirror, she finished wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Can we go now?" She asked as she walked toward the mirror. I stood, still very confused. I walked toward her and she turned around. I lifted my hands and held on to her shoulders.

"I-I love you too." I smiled and she buried her face in my chest. Did that happen? I asked myself. I held her tight not wanting to let go, I feared that if I did she would somehow disappear. I felt her arms tighten around me and I did the same. I told her that I love her, and I meant it. She was the only person who has ever said that to me, not even my own mother told me that.

I began to cry. Her grip slowly loosened as she looked up at me. "W-what's wrong Erik?" I felt my hot tears falling from my eyes. She smiled and wiped one away from my cheek. "Don't cry." She said as she unwrapped her arms a put them around my neck. "Don't cry." She said as she pushed her face against my chest again.

After a moment we stopped hugging and I opened the mirror. I entered the tunnel and grabbed my lantern; she walked up behind me and closed the door. She turned around and smiled, as she came closer. I switched the lantern to left hand and wrapped the other around Emily.

"Did you love her?" She asked me after a moment of walking. I looked down at her, she was staring out in into the darkness.

"I thought I did." I said smiling as she looked up at me. The light from the lantern flickered, lighting up her beautiful emerald eyes.

"I thought I loved him." She said sadly as she looked back at the darkness in front of her.

Okay hope you liked it remember if you review you get to hug Erik!
