Erik's POV
Madame Giry began to anger me after a moment but I held back and kept myself as calm as I could for my Emily. Next thing I know the bowl that held Emily's strawberries crashed to the floor. I looked at her and she was asleep. I laid her back against the pillows and swept up the broken bowl pieces in a trash bin.
"She isn't staying here." Madame Giry said as I sat back down beside Emily. I glared at her.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she is coming back to my home. She doesn't belong down here not in her condition."
"And why can't she stay?" I asked trying to calm down.
"Because she doesn't love you!" My heart fell. But that couldn't be true she had forgiven me and come down here on her own.
"You lie." I hissed at her
"She was going to leave today but there weren't any carriages available. She was moving to a house to get away from you. Far away." I looked back down at Emily she had a slight smile as she slept and I couldn't help but stroke her cheek.
"Where?" I asked.
"She didn't tell me. But you need to let her go. For all we know her hormones are making her think she wants to be with you." I sighed and realized this could be true. But it couldn't it just wasn't.
"I've heard her at night. She screams out," She paused and looked at Emily. "She yells 'Erik stop it! You're hurting me!' You broke her heart." My face fell and I stood full of rage.
"You dare take her away from me again!" She recoiled slightly back into her seat.
"This is why you need to let her go!" Emily stirred and I looked at her. I there was a chance that I might hurt her then I had to let her go.
"Fine take her." Madame Giry gestured to her and I picked her up.
I took her to Giry's house and laid her in her bed. I felt a tear fall from my eye. Madame Giry was right, no matter what my anger would finally hurt her or the baby. I ran my fingers through her hair and pressed my lips against her's.
I put a rose next to her and went down stairs. "Happy now?" I asked Marie.
"You have to leave."
"I am right now." I said reaching for the door.
"No. She will come looking for you sooner or later. You have to leave the opera house." It shocked me. How could she expect me to leave the only home where I had felt safe? I nodded and left.
Emily's POV
I woke up and the room was dark. Erik and Madame Giry must have left to let me sleep. I sat up and realized something was terribly wrong I looked around and realized I wasn't home. I got out of bed and lit a candle. I was back at Madame Giry's house. Why did they take me back.
I sat back down on the bed and looked around. On the pillow there was a single red rose. The corner of my lips curled up as I reached for the rose. I picked it up and smelled the sent that reminded me of him. He always smelled like roses. And of course candles.
I walked out of the room and down the stairs rose in hand. I looked around and saw it was night. Had I really slept that long. I shrugged and went to the kitchen I found a bowl of fruits and took one. I headed back up to my room and ate the apple. Once I finished I threw the core out and laid back down.
"I love you Erik." I whispered as I went back to sleep.
Six Hours Later
"Emily." I woke up and Madame Giry was standing over me. "Your carriage will be here shortly. I put your bags down stairs.
"What?" I asked rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Suddenly I realized what she was saying. "Wait I have to tell Erik!" She looked at me and rubbed my back.
"I already did." I smiled.
"Thank you." I got up and got dressed. I headed down stairs. "Is he coming?" I asked.
She shook her head. "I told him where it was he'll meet you there."
Madame Giry's POV
"I told him where it was he'll meet you there." I lied so that she wouold leave.
"Merci Madame Giry. Oh the carriage is here." She hugged me and made her way out to the carriage. I waved goodbye as she left. I knew what I did was not right but he didn't need to hurt her again.
"You can come out now." He walked out of the kitchen and frowned.
"I'm going to miss her." I looked at him.
"You need to write her and tell her," I paused knowing this would break both their hearts but it was for her protection. "That you don't love her an you're not coming." He looked at me and gawked.
"Isn't it bad enough that you lied to her? Do I have to lie to her too?"
"Yes, if you want to protect her." He frowned. I walked towards him. "It's for the best."
He nodded and paused. "I'll wait a day or two. Then I'll send it." I nodded and turned to go to my room. I turned back around but he was gone. I shook my head and went back upstairs.
