"What are you doing?" Christine asked.
"Christine!" I said as Erik jumped back.
Christine gasped when she saw the mask on his face. He pushed past her and ran out of the room.
"That was him! What is he doing here? He is the Phantom!" She shouted. She rushed over to me and looked at me.
"It's fine." I said trying to calm her.
"Fine! The Phantom of the Opera is in your house!" She yelled.
"And did you hear him sing?" I asked. She was about to say something but paused and looked confused.
"What does it matter?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Because if you heard him sing you would have recognized him." I paused and winced in pain. The pain of talking just now hit me. "He is your angel, your Angel of Music." She gasped.
"What! What are you talking about?" I sighed.
"Go bring him back up." She shook her head. "Please." She slowly turned her head to the door and sighed.
"Fine, but how do you know he is my angel?" I sighed.
"Because I just know." I motioned for her to go and she hesitantly stood.
Christine's POV
I stood and carefully walked out the door. My angel? How could the Phantom of the Opera be my angel? I creped down the stairs and looked around. I didn't see him and expected that at any moment he would try to murder me.
My legs shook as I entered the parlor. He was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. "Angel?" I said softly he looked up and turned his head.
Angel of Music,
Guide and Guardian,
Grant to me your glory,
I sang to see if this man really was my angel.
Angel of Music,
Hide no longer,
Come to me strange Angel.
"Are you really my angel?" He turned back to me.
"As you can see, I am no Angel." I sighed and looked at my feet.
"Your voice, so you lied?" He paused.
"Yes, I lied to you Christine. I thought if I pretended to be an Angel," He paused and walked past me. "That you would love me." I heard him say as I turned.
"She wants you to go back up." I said following him. He began to walk up the stairs and in to the room. I followed behind him quietly so he wouldn't hear me.
Erik's POV
I walked into the room and stared at Emily. "Why is she here?" I asked bluntly.
"I don't know Erik." She said as I walked over to her.
"Did you tell her or did she figure it out for herself?" She paused to study me then looked away.
"I told her, I thought if she knew you were also her angel that she wouldn't be so upset that the Opera Ghost is in my home." I looked at her then sat on the edge of the bed.
"She needs to leave." I said as I put my head in my hands.
"Erik! She is my friend. She can stay as long as she likes!"
"What if the boy followed her?" I yelled, she stopped and looked upset for a moment.
"Before we try to send her away can we at least see why she's here?" I starred at her and scowled.
"I don't want to have to lose my temper with either of them." She looked away and frowned.
"Then don't." she snapped.
"What do you mean?" I growled. "You know I can't control myself when I get angry."
"Then try! The least you can do is try! For me and if not for me then for our baby!"
Christine's POV
I sat there for a moment not able to make out to much, and then I heard. "Erik! She is my friend. She can stay as long as she likes!" I listened was he trying to get rid of me? Maybe I should get back in the carriage and tell Raoul she was fine.
"What if the boy followed her?" The Phantom yelled, or Erik. Great they don't want Raoul here either. I thought for a moment maybe I should just leave.
"You know I can't control myself when I get angry."
"Then try! The least you can do is try! For me and if not for me then for our baby!" Emily yelled at him. A baby! She is going to have his baby! I backed away from the door and ran to the parlor. What do I do? I looked out the window and saw Raoul getting out of the carriage. Great now there is going to be a fight. I ran outside to meet Raoul.
"Christine is she okay?" I forced a smile.
"She is in bed, she had an accident. But you shouldn't go in." He looked at me puzzled.
"Don't be silly Christine." He chuckled and walked toward the house.
"Raoul I don't think that it's a good idea. She needs rest!" I tried to convince him but he was on his way inside. I ran into the house after him.
"Where is she?" He asked.
"She needs rest." He walked toward the stairs and began to go up. Suddenly the door to her room opened and Erik began to walk down the steps. We all paused to stare at each other then Raoul began to go up the stairs.
"You!" He yelled. Erik turned and went back up stairs and ran into Emily's room.
"Damn!" He shouted.
"What?" Emily said as Raoul and I entered the room. Raoul was about to lung ant Erik but I stepped in from of him and pushed him back.
"Stop!" I yelled he paused and starred at Erik's mask.
"Who are you?" He demanded.
"Get out!" Erik yelled.
"Erik! Be nice!" Emily said straining to sit up.
"You aren't supposed to move." He said trying to lay her back down. Finally she pushed him away and sat up.
"You sit." She said pointing to Erik then next to her on the bed. He obeyed and glared at Raoul who was about ready to attack him.
"Raoul." I said as he tried to get free of my grasp. He stopped and looked at me then back at Erik.
"I'm going to kill him." He mumbled as he tried to break free again. I stepped on his foot then looked at me. "What?" He hissed.
"Stop it, he has done nothing to you!" I growled. He finally stopped. Erik put his hand on Emily's then began a glaring at Raoul again. The two of them were enemies right away. They both stared at each other like they were having a war with their eyes.
Finally after a moment Raoul looked at Emily. "Who is he?" He yelled.
"He is my fiancé." Emily said this the same time as I said.
"He is my Angel." Raoul looked at me and Emily very confused.
"What? He is the Angel you always talk about?" I nodded and he turned to Emily.
"You're going to marry him? Wait," He paused to examine the Phantom's mask again.
"Didn't you friend, Meg say the Phantom wears a mask?" He whispered to me.
"I do." Erik said as he tried to stand. Emily grabbed his arm and pulled him back on the bed.
"You want to marry this monster!" Raoul yelled. Erik jumped up, Emily wasn't able to pull him back.
"Raoul!" I yelled as I pushed him out of the room and slammed the door. I pushed myself against the door so Erik couldn't get out.
"Move Christine!" He yelled I shook my head and winced as he grabbed my arms and pushed me aside.
