Eleana had no idea Erik had it so hard. All he wanted was to be loved, he wanted to fit in, he wanted people to see pass his masquerade.

She watched Erik as he pulled himself together. She had never seen him cry before, but she didn't think any less of him because so, he was only human.

"And now you know who I truly am. I'm an obsessive, insane, man slaughtering monster. You can leave if you choose so."

Why would Eleana want to leave? If all that had happened to him in his past was her reality, she would of reacted the same way.

"Erik, I am not leaving, and I don't think any less of you. I forgive you for your actions, its all said and done."

Eleana gave him a reassured look, and then put a big smile on her face. She waited for him to give her one in return, and slowly he did.

"Thank you, Eleana, for your kind words. You have no idea how much they truly mean to me."

She was glad to see he was no longer upset. Eleana could feel her eyelids growing very heavy, she felt like if she blinked for too long she would fall asleep. But she couldn't stay up any longer, she slowly drifted to sleep on Erik's pipe organs bench.


Erik checked his pocket watch, it was almost dawn. Had he really kept her up so long? Erik was growing very tired himself. He decided he would go and take Eleana back to her inn.

"Eleana, I apologize for my rudeness for I have lost track of time. I should not of kept you up so late. Why don't I escort you back to your inn?"

Erik turned around to find Eleana in deep sleep. He wondered if should wake her up, but surly that would not be the appropriate thing to do. He walked up to her, looking at how delicate she was. She was absolutely radiant. But Erik could not stand to not see her beautiful eyes; he would just have to wait till morning to see them.

He very carefully picked up Eleana, cradling her in his arms. Her smell was intoxicating, he could hold her like this forever. But he knew if he did she would wake up. Gently, Erik placed her in the his bed, covering her with a blanket. Before Erik could stop himself, he kissed her very lightly on the for head, and was not ashamed of doing so. Erik pulled down the black canopy that was above the bed while singing.

"You a lone could make my song take flight. Help me make the Music of the Night."

Erik could no longer try and shut out his feelings or try to deny them.

He was in love with Eleana.


Eleana woke up late the next morning. She rubbed her eye's almost forgetting where she was. She felt so foolish; she feel asleep in Erik's lair.

She wondered if she was in Erik's bed, she took in a smell of the bed covers and was able to smell Erik's familiar scent which answered her question. She peeked out of the canopy trying to see if Erik was their. He was working on something on his desk, an object that she wasn't able to make out what it was.

Eleana got out of the bed and saw that Erik had a wide selection dresses, shoes, makeup, and bathroom supplies she could freshen up with. She decided not to bother him while he worked and to change out of the clothes she wore to her fathers grave. It felt like ages ago she was their visiting her father.

After debating for a good ten minutes which dress she should wear, she finally came to the decision to wear the white one. It was not too plain nor too extravagant, and hugged her in the right places. She wore a pair of flats and brushed her hair to get rid of the bed head. Eleana was never much of a makeup person, but decided to apply some blush and a nude shade of lipstick.

Eleana walked out of Erik's bathroom and walked over to sit next to Erik.

"Good afternoon, Eleana."

Did she really sleep in the long. Well due to her lack of sunlight, the darkness of Erik's bed had forced her to sleep in later than usual.

"Good afternoon. What is that you are working on?"

Eleana still couldn't see the object, Erik's body was covering most of it.

"It is an object that is very valuable to me. I broke it two years back and I am almost finished fixing it."

She didn't know what else to say, so Eleana began to wander around freely in his lair. She came across a vase full of roses, they looked brand new. He must of gotten them today while she was asleep. Their was sketches hanging all around of the Opera House. It looked beautiful and she knew it would only be a matter of months before it was finished.

Eleana began to think how her singing was improving so rapidly. She would be able to sing professionally in a matter of weeks. And the Opera House was half done. Then she would have no reason to stay with Erik. She would either have to go back home or try and find the young boy from so long ago.

But how would she even find him? Where would she start looking? He could be in England, London, or Scotland for all she knew.

While Eleana thought of this, she took off her shoes, and placed her feet into the soothing lake. She starred at her reflection, and was able to see Erik's too.

How was she going to know what he even looked like now? He might not even be alive! Eleana began to second doubt herself. Would Erik let her stay with him for no good reason if she couldn't find the boy?

She felt stupid for thinking this. After everything Erik has been through, he would never want to get close to another women again.

But Eleana couldn't keep pushing back her emotions any longer. The feelings she had for the young boy from the freak show were only because of his voice and because of her pity towards him. She didn't find herself thinking of the boy every second of the day, no, she thought of someone else in that way. Eleana couldn't deny it any longer.

She was in love with Erik.

This was not because of her pity towards him nor because of his talent to sing. It was because of his passion he had for life. She knew he had a soul, she knew he was not a monster living inside a mans body. He was a real human. A real, handsome man.

Eleana kicked a small wave trying to make her thoughts leave with the water. Then she heard a small tune coming from behind her.

Eleana turned immediately to face the music. She felt her heart stop and her mind go blank. All of the blood had drained from her face, she couldn't move or speak. All she could do was hear and see, but she didn't believe her ears. Nor could she believe her eyes; the music was coming from a music box in the shape of a monkey. Eleana listened as Erik sang the lyrics to the music's box tune.

"Masquerade...paper faces on parade...Masquerade...hide your face so the world will never find you."

Could it! It can't possibly be! I must still be dreaming.

Eleana pinched herself several times making sure she was not making this up.

It was him this whole time. How could she have not realized it! It was him...it was really him.

Her search was over, Erik was the boy from the freak show.
