Eva woke next to Erik, as she wrapped a sheet around herself Erik woke up, "where are you going?" he said sleepily. Eva smiled at him as she kissed his forehead, "just getting dressed for the day," Eva said. She was stopped again, "you're not going today," Erik said firmly, "Erik, I'll be fine if you're there," Eva said, seeming to convince him seeing as how he quickly got dressed. Rachel stood in her lover's room, looking at the mirror she broke. 'She is the only thing reminding me of him! Once she is gone, he'll leave my mind and I'll be free to do with as I please!' Rachel thought, as she laid in the bed, 'I need more men to kill her, after all she isn't even my daughter'. Eva wore an emerald dress with her hair curled and in a fancy bun, she smiled as she looked at the ring. Christine and Meg came up to her, "Evangeline you look like a beautiful sight!" Christine said, happy to see Eva unharmed. "Christine! Did you make your debut?" Eva asked, "I will be singing in England next year!" Eva smiled at the good news. "How about you Evangeline? Are you a lead in the next production?" Christine asked, Eva looked down sadly, "no, just chorus, they don't want this Alice girl to leave, well mostly Andre". Meg smiled as she looked at Eva's dress, "wow, your dresses are always so beautiful Evie!" both Christine and Eva looked at Meg. "Evie?" Eva giggled, "that's cute, I'll take that nickname," Meg smiled brighter, "what do you ladies want to dress as at the masquerade in two days?" Eva looked stunned. "Oh, I might not go, I have plans also, I'm not a very great dancer," Meg and Christine chuckled lightly at her comment.
Erik smiled at his future wife, he smiled at the thought of her wearing that dress and saying that she'll be his forever more. "Hello girls, Meg," Madame Giry smiled at them as she called to her daughter, "I have a dress for you and I know you'll love it," Meg smiled at her mother excitedly. "I will see you two later," Meg said and the two women waved. "Christine, I've been taking lessons but, would you like to sing together?" Christine smiled sweetly, "yes," Eva smiled as they headed to the chapel room. Erik watched them, smiling, and silently following them. "Evangeline, what shall we sing?" Christine asked and Eva thought about it. Eva was about to start before Alice walked in, "Madame DeChaungey, the managers would like to talk to you," Christine nodded and left her alone as Alice followed.
Erik watched her sit alone, as he watched her, he didn't notice Rachel's presence as she hit him in the back of the head. Eva waited and her stomach lurched for the dozenth time today, she felt sick for a little while now. Eva laid on the bench to calm her upset stomach, as Christine came back Eva's stomach couldn't handle it and she just threw up the contents of her meals. "My god, Evangeline, are you alright?" Christine asked patting Eva on the back, "I've just become a little sick," Christine looked worried. "Evangeline, dear, are you sure that's it?" Eva looked up in confusion, Christine asked her another question just to be sure she wasn't wrong. "How long have you been feeling like this?" Eva thought about it, and she had been feeling like this since the day after her first time with Erik, and it's been two weeks at most. Eva's eyes widened as she looked at Christine, her brunette friend nodded slowly at her. "I, no, ho-,oh my god," Evangeline wrapped her arms around her stomach and smiled as she cried. "I need to tell him, will you come with me Christine?" Christine smiled and nodded.
As they entered the cavern, it was quiet, "Erik?" Eva asked and looked around, she stopped hearing a soft singing voice. The two looked at each other and quietly followed the sound. Evangeline hid around the corner and saw something that made her blood run cold. Erik's jaw was clenched as he was being kissed by this diabolical woman, she tied him down in his chair and just kissed him. "Evangeline stole my lover, so I will steal hers," Erik heard his name being called from her lips. "If you don't play along, I shall make sure she dies right in front of your eyes," Erik was enraged, but she continued, "I will shoot her and when she is pained, I will drown her in your lake". Erik stayed quiet, and she started to sing lightly and it was quiet, Rachel kissed him lightly and Eva peeked just then. "Oh, Erik," Eva said as she saw the kiss, she turned to leave and ran back up to the world above.
Eva couldn't believe her eyes, and ran back up the steps, why would Erik do this? Christine followed looking worried, as Eva went to their room for the night. Erik was let go, and he gripped Rachel's neck, "how would Eva like it if you died before apologizing?" Erik let her go. The next morning, Eva went to her father's grave with white roses, her roses contrasting against her dark violet gown and black cloak. "Father, I don't know what to do, he has kissed another woman, she belongs to him now, I'm all alone again," Eva said to the stone as she brushed the snow off.
"All alone again,
Can it get any colder?
Will my dream now ascend?
I've become alone again,
How much lonilness can one go through?
How long until I can join you?
Erik?
Are you here, the phantom of the opera?
Where can the angel of music hide,
but now among the songs that died?
I am here, the phantom of the opera!
Where can I go missing,
except where there is no one singing?"
Eva felt the wind blow harshly, she held her stomach as the wind continued. Red rose petals scattered, Eva looked around and followed them to an angel statue.
"Wandering child,
So lost,
So helpless,
Yearning for my guidance,"
"Angel or Father?
Friend or Phantom?
Who is it there staring? (Have you forgotten your angel?)
Angel! Oh, speak!
What endless longings,
Echoes in this whisper?"
"Too long you've wandered in winter,
Far from my far-reaching gaze,"
Eva kept walking closer to the statue, Erik stood on the other side facing her as her voice came closer, Erik almost wavered.
"Wildly my mind beats against you, (you resist me)"
"Yet my/your soul obeys!
Angel of music,
I/ You denied you/me!
Turning from true beauty,
Angel of music,
Do not shun me, (My protector)
Come to your/ me strange angel!"
Eva turned around the statue and there was no one there, she sighed as she touched the rose that laid there. "Damn it, I almost had you," Erik heard her whisper from his place in the shadows, 'wrong, Evangeline, we still belong to one another,' Erik thought as he looked at her. Rachel looked at the girl, then to Erik as Eva left. "I want you to convince her you don't love her anymore," Rachel said to him, knowing that he didn't want to hurt her, even in the smallest of ways and that if he was going to die, he wanted to make sure that she knew he loved her. Erik had a different plan, he knew when and where to take her down, it will hurt Eva for a mere moment but afterwards he knows she will forgive him.
