Okay here is chapter 20! Wow what a milestone.
I don't own Phantom of the Opera just my OC.
I woke up in the swan bed. My room was much darker than usual. I looked around and saw that most of the things in my room were gone. The only things left in the room were the bed and the music box with the monkey playing the symbols.
"Erik?" I looked around and got out of bed. I walked over to the music box and sat in front of it. Suddenly it began to play. I looked around and I wasn't in my room anymore, I was in the foyer of the opera house. I looked back at the music box and it was gone, but the music kept playing.
I stood up and looked around in the darkness. "Erik!" I yelled, scared to death. I turned around and saw a figure in the darkness. It was a man; I ran to him, "Erik, I was so scared! What is going on?" I looked around as I held tight to his vest.
"Emily, what are you doing here?" I froze that wasn't Erik. I looked up and saw Raoul standing in front of me.
"Raoul? I-I," I stuttered. He smiled the way he used to when we were engaged.
"It's just me. What's wrong mon Cherie?" He asked. I frowned and let go of his vest. I stepped backwards and ran into something.
"Emily?" Erik asked. I turned around and this time it was him standing behind me. I instantly threw my arms around him.
"Erik." I said as I buried my face in his chest. After a moment I turned around and saw Raoul smiling, a devious smile. I turned back around and Erik was being choked by a noose. "Erik!" I shouted. I tried to run to him but Raoul held me back.
"Let me go you monster!" I tried my best to pull away from him but he was to strong. I stared at Erik helplessly. "Erik!" I yelled.
I sat up screaming, Erik rushed into my room. "What's wrong?" He asked completely drowned in fear that something bad happened. He sat on the bed next to me and rubbed my back as tears fell from my eyes.
"It's okay." He said after a moment of making sure I was alright. "It was just a nightmare." He said trying to calm me down.
"H-he tried-d to kill y-you." I said between sobs. He looked at me for a moment then pulled me into a hug.
"Who?" He said after a moment. I tried to stop crying and catch my breath, I didn't work.
"R-Raoul." I said pushing my face into his chest. He unwrapped his arms from me and placed his finger under my chin, and leaned my head back. He looked into my eyes.
"I will never go away, I promise." He said smiling at me. I closed my eyes and pushed my lips against his. This time he didn't hesitate. After a moment he pulled away, I smiled and he went to get up and leave.
"Wait." I said grabbing his shirt. "Don't go." I said feeling myself about to cry again. He smiled and let go of his shirt.
"Okay I'll stay." He said smiling. I lay back down and pulled the red blanket up to my neck. I heard Erik yawn then he lay on top of the blanket, next to me.
Later that night, I opened my eyes and looked around for a moment. I yawned and felt my pillow move. I frowned for a moment and realized that it wasn't my pillow, it was Erik. I looked up and saw him asleep with his arm wrapped around me.
I turned slightly so I could see him better, as I did his arm tightened around me. I smiled and tried to suppress a giggle.
Erik was asleep and probably thought I was a pillow. His mask had almost fallen off his face. I reached my hand up and pulled his mask off. I leant over him and set the mask on the small dresser my bed. I laid back down and pushed my face into his chest and fell asleep again.
Erik's POV
I woke up that morning and felt myself holding something. I looked down and saw Emily wrapped in my arms. She had woken up in the middle of the night screaming my name. For a moment I just laid there enjoying her company.
After a few minutes she began to move around. I looked down at her head tilted back and she looked at me. "Good morning." She said smiling.
"Good morning." I smiled back at her then kissed her forehead. She smiled and stared into my eyes. I sat up and put my head in my hands, and then I froze. "Where is my mask?" I asked terrified of her seeing my face. I knew that she didn't care if she saw my face or not, but I still wasn't completely used to leaving my mask off around her.
"It's on the dresser." she said pointing to the night stand, next to the bed. I reached over and grabbed my mask. I sighed and positioned it on my face. Emily sat up and rubbed my shoulder. "I'm sorry, but you looked uncomfortable with it on." She said as she leant her head on my shoulder.
"It's fine mon Ange." I said as I turned to look at her.
"I'm not an angel." She said as she wrapped bother her arms around my left one. I smiled and kissed her head.
"Yes you are, your my angel." She lifted her head and looked at me. After a moment she pressed her lips against mine and climbed out of bed. She walked over to her vanity and sat down at the chair. I sat on the bed and starred at her for a moment.
For the first time I noticed that she was only wearing a night gown. She looked her mirror and grabbed her brush, and began to brush her hair. She was a very beautiful young women, she was very attractive. I starred at her for a few minutes.
For a moment I found my mind wandering. "I have to go." I said jumping from the bed and rushing out of the room.
Don't think such things! My mind shouted at itself. All you had to do was walk over to her, kiss her neck-No! My mind argued. I hit my hand against my head and walked over to my organ. Perhaps playing would take my mind off of her for a moment.
Wow Erik! He's really really likes her. Lol Okay review and tell me what you think Emily is thinking after he runs out of the room! Lol.
