Chapter 42: Searching for His Angel
"Meg!" His voice called as the woman pasted the tent, coming back from evening meal. She stopped to look inside the tent as Erik walked out to her. "Have you seen Christine?" He asked her, hoping she knew where Christine was. He had been waiting for her since after the performance, but Christine never showed up. It was now hours and there was no sign of her.
"I haven't seen her since the performance." Meg answered; not the answer Erik wanted. "I thought she would be with you. She wasn't at evening meal." That is bizarre…Christine never missed a meal. "Maybe Tor would know where she is." She paused. "She had a talk with him before you returned about a situation."
"What situation?" Erik asked. He knew if she had spoken with Tor, it must have been serious. "Meg…"
"I don't think it's my place to tell. Christine made me promise that I would tell you, but Tor and I made her promise to tell you when you returned." Meg told him. Whatever this was, it was something that Erik now wanted to know, especially if it involved Christine.
"Where is Chief?" He asked Meg, almost demanding.
"With his wife, I believe." She answered. Without saying another word, Erik walked away. Meg watched as the warrior rushed off. Though she too wanted to know where Christine was, she knew Erik could find her.
Heading straight for Tor's tent, he didn't dare stop if someone called his name. He had a feeling something was wrong and Tor might be able to help. Arriving at the tent, he could tell Tor and his wife called it a night early. However, he didn't care. Standing outside the closed flaps, he tried to ignore the sounds coming from inside. Lucky Scot…he thought to himself.
"Chief!" The sound of a groan came from his wife who wasn't happy at all.
"What do you want, Boyd?" She asked instead of him.
"I need to speak with Chief! It's urgent!" He answered back. Hearing movement inside the tent, he stepped. After a few minutes, Tor emerged from the tent.
"This better be important." He said as he walked passed the warrior to sit down at a table. "Alright, what is it you want?" He asked. Not sitting, Erik remained standing.
"Why did Christine come to you?" Erik asked, making Tor sigh.
"She didn't give me the full details, only that someone was violent to her."
"Violent?" Now Erik was pissed. If anyone hurtled her, they would have to answer to him. "Who was violent to her?" He demanded to know who so he punish them. Stay calm, Phantom…
"I don't know, she would not tell me." Tor answered. "I thought you would know who. She said she would talk to you when you returned. Hasn't she spoken to you about it?" He asked Erik.
"No…I have not seen her since the performance."
"You haven't?" Erik shook his head. "Strange…"
"Aye. Meg hasn't seen her either. We thought maybe you would have." Tor shook his head.
"No." This was strange; it's like she's disappeared or…god, he hoped it wasn't true. "Erik?" Tor noticed the look on Erik's face.
"She wouldn't…" He said out loud, more to himself than Tor. "…she promised."
"What did she promise?" He asked.
"That she wouldn't try and escape…"
"You think she ran away?" Erik slowly nodded. Why? What prompted her to? He thought for a moment and he knew. That kiss…god she saw that kiss in the tent. Though it meant nothing to him, to her it did. "Erik?" He turned his head in the direction of the forest. He knew she was in there somewhere.
"I have to find her." He turned to head back to his tent.
"Erik!" Tor tried to stop him, but it was hopeless. Getting up, he quickly grabbed his armor to join Erik. He sent orders out for the Warriors to do the same. Soon all the Warriors were armed and mounted on their horses. They knew she would try and find the English army. Hopefully they'd find her before that, not wanting to lose any men. Pulling his hood over his head, his eyes focused on the forest in front of him. Christine was somewhere in that forest and he would do whatever it took to get her back.
"My Christine…my Christine…lost and gone…lost and gone…"
So Erik is now going after Christine. Find out if he finds here...
And good news, I will say this is the end of Rhona so she will no longer appear in the story. You're welcome
