Erik's POV

"Move Christine!" I shouted. She shook her head and I glared at her. Grabbing her arms I pushed away from the door. The boy called me a monster! Now he was going to see that I really was a monster. My hand went straight to the door.

Before I could turn the handle I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Erik stop." I turned around and saw Emily standing behind me.

"What are you doing?" I yelled. I scooped her into my arms and carried her back to the bed. Once I put her down she grabbed my arm.

"He is being stupid. What he said isn't true unless you let it be. Don't lower yourself to his level. Erik," She said as she placed her hand on my good cheek. "You're not a monster, please just calm down."

I sighed and sat beside her once more. She leand on my chest and I held her close to me. Christine walked towards us. "I'll go talk to him." She said. Emily smiled and mouthed the words thank you.

"Christine." I said before she could walk out of the room. "I'm sorry if I hurt you." She smiled.

"It's okay." She walked out of the room and shut the door.

"You need rest." I told Emily.

"I don't think so. You aren't going to make me go to sleep so you can go fight." She lifted her head up and smiled.

"But you need to rest, Mon Cherie." I said slyly.

"I'll be fine." She smiled and pressed her lips on mine. She pulled away and smiled.

"One more," I said pretending to pout. "Please." She smiled and kissed me again then laid her head on my chest.

Raoul's POV

I waited outside the door for a moment then decide to go down stairs. Even though I wanted to kill the man, it made no sense to wait outside the door. After a moment of being alone in the parlor I heard the door open and close. Footstep came down the stairs. I was prepared to fight, but after a moment the footsteps sounded light.

"Raoul." I heard Christine say. I sat back down and she walked into the parlor. "What is wrong with you?" I looked up and frowned.

"You're asking what is wrong with me. You should be asking Emily that." I said as I stood. "She wants to marry a ghost! A crazy one at that!" She walked up to me and slapped me across the face.

"Do you know what you're saying? If he wanted to he could kill you right now! Not only are you insulting him but your are insulting Emily and me!"

"How am I insulting you?" I yelled.

"He is my angel! You are calling my angel crazy and a monster!" I glared at her.

"He is not an Angel! He is a man who terrorizes people and makes them disappear!"

"I know that!" She yelled. "I know he isn't an angel, but even if he's not," She paused and wiped a tear from her eye. "He has been my friend and confidant. He was there when I needed him!"

"He lied to you!"

"I know Raoul! Even if he did lie to me, he still was my guide, my guardian!"

"Christine, he is crazy."

"I don't care! I love him!" She instantly covered her mouth. That moment I lost control and hit her. She turned her head back at me and cupped her cheek in her hands. "Get out."

"What?" I said angrily.

"Get out!" She yelled.

"This isn't your house you can order me around!" I yelled.

"No but I can!" The Phantom's voice bellowed.
