Eleana checked her pocket watch Erik had provided her. It was ten till eleven p.m. She quietly got out of her bed retrieving her dance shoe's.

Harold Zidler had given Eleana the job after listening to her sing and dance. She had to dance with a man, but just doing that left Eleana feeling guilty. Harold told her to be at the Moulin Rouge dressed and ready by eleven fifteen. But she couldn't bring her outfit to Erik's lair, knowing it would cause Erik to grow suspious, so instead she placed it in Satine's dressing room hoping she wouldn't mind.

She opened the door to her room, and sighed in relief to find Erik deep asleep. She walked over to him, observing him. She had been oblivious to the fact, until now, that Erik slept with his mask on. Was he really that ashamed of his face? She had seen it before and she was able to see past his deformity and found a real man inside of him. But maybe he wore it more for himself, as if wearing it proved he was just as normal as everyone else.

Looking at Erik couldn't help but make Eleana feel gulity for everything she was doing. He loved her so much. He was worried about her earlier and all she did was run away from him making him think she was mad at him when truth was she was mad at herself.

She wondered how long she would be able to get away with working at the Moulin Rouge without Erik finding out.

Eleana then placed her hand on Erik's cheek noticing him flinch slightly at her touch, and kissed him on his forehead carefully trying not to wake him up. She assumed he was dreaming and wondered if it was about her.

"I love you. I always have, and I always will."

With that being said, Eleana made her exit out of the almost completed Opera House. She stepped outside into the chilly October night, accompanied with a not so pleasant cough, leaving Eleana feeling light headed. A cold gust of air swept across her face as she began to walk to the Moulin Rouge.

Erik layed lair asleep and alone, now that Eleana had gone to the Moulin Rouge, dreaming.

Erik found himself in a familiar rooftop, two years in the past, watching Christine alarm Raoul what type of monster he really was. He flinched as she described what was really hiding behind his mask. But when she told him how his voice had filled her spirit with a strange sweet sound and made her spirit soar. How she heard as she never heard before.

He felt himself grow irritated as Raoul tried to convince her she was only dreaming. Of course someone like him could never possibly imagine a beautiful girl like Christine be interest in a monster like Erik.

He felt his obsession over Christine boil inside him. He had to restrain himself from taking her right then and their. But then Raoul began to sing to Christine. He told her he loved her and proposed to her. Erik felt rage go throughout his body like an electric current as she agreed in his hand in marriage.

But then all the sudden Christine was no longer herself anymore. It was Eleana instead agreeing to marry Raoul. He watched as he kissed her, and as she kissed him back. He watched Raoul hold Eleana in his arms.

Erik knew deep down he was dreaming. But he couldn't escape from it. He wanted to come back to reality where he was loved, where Christine and Raoul no longer exsisited.

Erik then woke up, flinging himself into a sitting position in his bed taking deep rapid breaths. He had a cold sweat across his face and blinked a couple times trying adjust his eyesight to the darkness which he found comforting.

He got out of his bed and retrieved a glass of water. Why did his mind torture himself like that? Erik knew he was going to hell once his life was over, but why wasn't he allowed to at least live a happy life with Eleana without the interruption of his dreams?

Erik looked over at the door to Eleana's room. He sighed remembering she was here with him and not with another man. For some reason Erik wanted to be with Eleana right now more than usual. He checked his pocket watch. Their was only seven hours till daylight and soon he would see her face again.

Eleana walked into the Moulin Rouge shocked by all the commotion. Their was hundreds of people who worked at the Moulin Rouge dressed up ready for the doors to open. Their was spectacular lights everywhere along with drinking bars and tables. It looked as if they spent all day preparing.

She ran to Satine's dressing room once she noticed she had to be ready in less then five minutes. To her relief, she found Satine's dressing room door unlocked with no one inside it. Her Can Can dress was still in the same spot and she stripped down to her under gametes.

She began to put on her corset when she heard Satine's voice.

"Need some help with that?"

She was still wearing the same outfit she saw her in a couple hours back. She didn't look the happiest to see Eleana but at least she was offering help.

"Yes please."

Eleana was embarrassed. She knew she was defiantly not making a good first impression.

Satine walked over to Eleana and grabbed the strings to the corset and began fastening them extremely tight. Almost to the point where she couldn't breathe.

"What made you join the Moulin Rouge?" Satine asked as soon as she finished fastening the corset.

"I need the money."

"Yes well you certainly cam to the right place. We dancers get a load of money."

Eleana didn't know what else to say so she began to put on her multicolored, slightly revealing Can Can dress."

"I was hoping to run into you actually, before the show started." Satine said.

Eleana was surprised by this, she had the impression Satine hated her from the moment they meet.

"Why is that?"

Satine walked over to her mirror looking at her reflection as she began to touch up her makeup and fix her hair.

"I came to warn you. A girl as pretty as you can not possibly not have a man in their life. Am I right?"

Eleana wasn't sure if she should tell Satine the truth or not. Harold did tell her that she had to obey his and Satine's every command and if she found out about Erik, Satine would make her leave. But Eleana didn't answer which Satine took as a yes.

"I thought so. Don't worry, I'm not as strict as Harold when it comes to this kind of stuff. But I want to let you know this isn't a funny business, you signed up for this knowing you loved another man. Their might be times when we will need you to fool around with men to get money for the Moulin Rouge."

Eleana stood their frozen not knowing anything to say.

"Does the man you love know you work here?"

Eleana simply shook her head letting her know he didn't.

"Good, keep it that way. Once he finds out, the jealousy will drive him mad."

Satine then began to walk out of the room. Eleana had finally found her voice.

"Satine."

She turned around.

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

Satine gave Eleana a smile and winked.

"Good luck out there."
