Chapter 40: A Lover's Revenge

"Brava…" His voice whispered in her ear as the performance ended. Hearing him say that made her so happy. Taking a bow, her eyes gazed out onto the applauding crowd. Before she knew it, she had people all around and Erik was no where in sight. People were praising her for her performances and her voice and everything. While all the praises were nice, there was only person she wanted to talk to and that person seemed to have disappeared.

To avoid the crowd and the questions he knew he would get, he managed to sneak away as people gathered around Christine. Though he wanted to take her with him to get a private moment with her, it would only draw more attention which he didn't need. He knew she would come after him so it would be only a matter of time before she would be able to get away. He decided to head to his tent, needing a few things and knew Christine would comes the tent. Entering the tent, he spotted his trunk and went over to it, opening it up.

"Welcome back, warrior." A voice said, a voice that wasn't the only he wanted. Turning around, he saw Rhona coming into the tent.

"Thank you." He said politely.

"How long are you back for?" She asked, stepping forward.

"I am not sure. If Bruce needs me for something…" He looked behind her to see if Christine was coming, but he couldn't see her.

"That was a nice thing she did for you." Walking past him, she sat on the edge of the bed. Turning to face her, his back was to the tent opening. "She certainly is becoming quite popular around here." He could here the dislike in her voice.

"She isn't like her father, Rhona."

"Are you defending her?" She asked him. "You who hates the English more than anything." He sighed. Yes, he did hate the English but he didn't hate her. "After everything they have done to us?"

"It's not like that, she and I have a history before us. She is the reason I'm alive and here today. I owe her my life for what she did for me."

"What is she doing to you?" Rhona asked. "You are not the man I know." She was right, he wasn't the same man she knew.

"Rhona, I-" He stepped forward but she stopped him. Standing up, she let out a sigh.

"Erik don't. I always knew someone would come into your life that you'd love. I just wished it was me." He didn't say a word, just looked at the woman in front of him. He didn't admit anything, but Rhona knew. Not turning around, he didn't see a certain woman outside the tent…but Rhona did.

Christine finally managed to get away from crowd, thanks to Meg. She practically dragged Christine away from the crowd, knowing she needed to get away. Once clear of the crowd, Christine was able to go find the person she wanted to talk to. Walking through the camp, she knew where he would be. Approaching the tent, she noticed that he wasn't alone. Coming closer, she could see Rhona talking to him and it wasn't a pleasant tent. Watching her stand up, Rhona had seen Christine standing outside the tent. Walking up to Erik, she could see her saying something to him before she leaned up. No, don't you dare! But she was and Christine wasn't stopping her. She could do nothing as she watched Rhona's lips kissed Erik's. No! God no! Unable to look anymore, she turned and rushed off. She didn't care to see Erik's reaction and at the point, she didn't care. She no longer cared, she was done.
