Hey just want everyone to know that I finally decided to do another story it's called 'No One Can Choose When or Where They Will Love' yeah it's a long title but it is a quote from Erik himself! I had to make it the title. So please read it as soon as you can. Right now I only have the Prologue up but I will work on the first chapter soon. As always R&R.
Erik's POV
"But you said you loved me." I reminded Christine. She sat down in the chair and dropped her head.
"I knew something was making you act strangely." She said. I gave a sigh and sat on the couch. "Erik we both know that you love Emily far too much to do anything stupid." I nodded.
"Can we just," I paused and she looked up at me. "Forget this ever happened? I swear I won't be over protective of you. The Viscount can court you if he sees fit." She blushed madly and stood.
"Thank you Erik." I smiled and stood. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly.
"You're welcome Christine." She gave me a childish smile.
"Dear Angel, shall we check on Emily?" I smiled at her reference of me being her angel.
"Yes child." I said to her the way I would speak to her during her rehearsals. We walked out of the parlor and up the stairs. I walked into the room and found one of the maids, Anne, nervously biting her nails. She jumped slightly as I entered.
"Hello Anne."
"Hello Monsieur, Madame Christine." I looked around the room.
"Where is Emily?" She closed her eyes as if she wished I hadn't said what I had. She dropped her head and sighed.
"Madame, she didn't want to disturb you." I looked at her confused.
"What do you mean?" Christine and I said simultaneously. Anne's head rose and she stared at us for a moment.
"She packed a few things." I looked at her and motioned for her to go on.
"And?" I asked. She stood and opened a few drawers. Half of Emily's clothes were missing! Did she leave? Why would she try to leave without telling me? "Is she gone? Where is she? Why did she leave? Where is she going?"
She looked at me after closing the drawers. "She is gone already. She told me not to tell you where. She wanted you to figure it out for your selves. She is very upset, and I don't think she will be coming back."
With that she walked out of the room. I looked out the window to see if there were any clues. I saw the stable boy wave as our carriage was lead down the road by Ceaser. I instantly ran past Christine, down the stairs, and out the door. Christine trailed behind me as I ran down the road after the carriage.
"Erik!" Christine called from behind me. "You of all people know Ceaser is too fast! You won't catch up to them!" She yelled this to me, of course I knew how fast Ceaser was, he was my horse of course. I still ran down the road until the carriage was gone from my sight.
"Emily!" I yelled as I fell to my knees in utter exhaustion. "Emily please!" My head fell into my hands as I started to sob. "Why Emily? Why would you leave me?"
"Erik!" Christine called as she finally caught up to me. "It is terribly hard to run in a dress, Erik." She said as she fell to the ground beside me.
"Why would she leave?" Christine asked. I looked at her, tears running down my cheeks.
"I don't know. I really don't know." I starred at the road where the carriage once was.
"Come on. Let's do something sensible and ask Jeremy. He is bound to know." I nodded as we stood and began to walk back home.
Please R&R and check out my new story! Please and thank you.
