Okay so we are going to do something a little bit different today. I want all of you to open up another internet tab/browser and go on youtube. Type in "Soundtrack of Moulin Rouge ~ Your Song" and DON'T HIT PLAY until the song begins in this chapter. I just think you will get the full affect of the song if I had you listened to it while it was being sung. I might do this in some other chapters so don't be surprised if I do. Let me know how you liked it
Erik listened as his music box sang its beautiful tune he had long to hear for so long.
"Masquerade...paper faces on parade...hide you face so the world will never find you."
He sang the lyrics to the tune, forgetting everything except for himself and the monkey. It was the only thing that kept him alive and senile when he was kept in a freak show so long ago. His parents had sold him to a man who was looking for freaks, not only because they couldn't afford to take care of him and his brother, but because they were disgusted by him.
Erik turned around to show Eleana the object his had successfully fixed. But Eleana sat their by his lake, wide eyed in shock.
He placed down the monkey gently and ran up to Eleana.
"Darling what is it? What's wrong?
But all she said was barley above a whisper.
"Enfant du Diable."
Erik was at loss of words, she had just called him the Devils Child. He immediately turned away from her, no longer caring what was wrong.
"Nineteen years ago, a little girl no more than seven years old told you 'Monsieur, please take this and leave, never come back. Start a new life' releasing you from that hell hole of a Freak Show. And as you ran out into the darkness she told you she would pray for you."
Erik replayed this memory in his head not knowing what Eleana was getting at or how she knew this. He had almost shut out this memory completely due to the departure of Christine.
"That little girl, she listened to you sing. She listened as you sang lyrics from that music box shaped as a monkey. And in that very moment she fell in love. She has been looking for you, dreaming to see you again, dreaming to sing with you, dreaming to love you ever since. She knew nothing about him except for his voice. But her search is over, she has finally found him.
"Erik, I'm the little girl who saved you, you are the man I have been looking for, it was you all along."
The most radiant smile Erik loved emerged across Eleana's face. Could this possibly be! She did not only love him, but she was the reason he was alive today!
Without saying anything Erik picked up Eleana and swirled around hugging her close.
He stopped and looked into her eyes and listened to her beautiful giggles.
She loved him, she really loved him.
"Eleana, I...I love you."
Right then and their with no hesitation what so ever, Erik kissed Eleana with all his might and she kissed back.
Erik couldn't help but kiss Eleana not once, not twice, but three times. Time seemed to have froze and it was only them two in the whole entire world. What could he possibly do to make it up to her?
He put Eleana down but intertwined his finger in hers and checked his pocket watch. Nightfall had just hit. Absolutely perfect.
"Go put on your shoe's, we are going out."
"Where?" Eleana looked shocked at the turn of events.
"It's a surprise."
Eleana's hand was grasped onto Erik's, letting him lead the way into the dark, smiling and giggling at his happiness.
They seemed to have been walking for ever, making their way through the dark shadows of Paris. That's when they reached the Eiffel Tower.
"Oh, Erik! You remembered!"
Eleana was overjoyed. She had wanted to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower ever since she was a little girl. They made their way using the steps, making Eleana grow anxious to see the view after each step she took.
Erik had finally leaded her to the top of the Tower, leaving Eleana speechless. Their was a full moon and what seemed like millions of stars shinning upon them both. But that wasn't even the best of it; Erik had began to sing for Eleana.
"My gift is my song
And this ones for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It maybe quite simple
But now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well some of the verses well
They got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on
So excuse me for forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is well I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world"
"Come what may, I will love you, till the end of time." Erik said.
Cute song eh? I suggest you all go watch Moulin Rouge! it's one of my all time favorites. Oh just so your not reading the last line like I am a total weirdo and suck at grammar, Come What May mean whatever happens. I know it's a cute line, but I don't own it its from the one and only Moulin Rouge :D
