Chapter 17-On The Roof

Erik walked slowly to the wall that was covered with his name. "I know I should have called the police, but I knew you had to see this," Madame Giry explained in panic. "Erik who on Earth did this?"

"I don't know," Erik lied. He knew exactly who or what was behind this. Audrey, he could sense her evil; he could sense it everywhere. She was up to something…he just didn't know what.

"Do you think a vampire did this?" Giry asked curiously. Erik didn't have to think; he knew it was either Audrey herself, or a vampire that served her was responsible.

Curiously, he turned to look at the bodies. Each one of them was mangled beyond recognition of seeing their face, but Erik could tell it was two males and a female. Without hesitation like a human would have to touch a body like these, Erik reached over and examined one of their necks. "Bite marks," he said.

"What?" Madame Giry asked still not looking at the scene.

"Anne, you need to get out of here," Erik instructed.

"Why?" Erik did not have to answer the hand of the body right beside him began to move.

"Get out!" he ordered. Quickly, she ran to the car door and stopped.

"What about you?" she asked worriedly.

"GO!" Erik screamed. Reluctantly, she climbed in the car leaving Erik to deal with the monsters.

His vampire eyes scanned their entire surroundings as the beasts began to wake looking for something that he could use. Finally, a few feet away that was a sharp piece of wood that would be perfect. He didn't waste any time to run and get his weapon for the vampires were already climbing to their feet.

"Come on you lousy scum!" he yelled to get their attention.

Each one of them turned to look at him with glowing red eyes. "You're one of us!" the female hissed.

Erik winced. He knew that they would not attack him without a reason to. They would get away if Erik didn't give them one. Faster then their new vampire eyes could even see, he sprang to one of the males and had a stake through it's black heart in seconds. The two creatures left standing hissed and growled at the death of their companion. In a matter of moments they were charging Erik.

With Erik's great strength and speed the two vampires would be no matches for him. In only seconds, each one lay dead on the dirty asphalt. "Audrey," he growled.

Carefully, Christine dabbed the black mascara on her eyelashes. Then she moved to the eyeliner. Even at her age she was still horrible at putting on eyeliner; she hated the stuff. She always messed up, and she wanted to look perfect for her Erik, who had finally agreed to go on another date. So without even breathing she outlined the bottom of her eyes, and she was almost done when a knock on the door startled her. "Errr!" she hissed now having a huge brown line across her cheek she ran to the door. "I hate this stuff!" she screamed throwing the pencil on the bathroom floor.

The person at the door was pounding by the time she finally reached it. She stood on her tiptoes to look through the eyehole and see a masked man standing there. With an excited smile she threw open the door and jumped into Erik's arms.

"Erik!" she shouted in joy.

"Whoa Chris!" Erik replied startled by her greeting. He was about to apologize for being late, but was stopped when she covered his mouth with hers and pulled him into a kiss. "Umm…Christine perhaps this is better suited for the apartment," Erik said through her kisses.

She laughed. "I'm just so glad to see you," she explained happily.

Erik smiled a little. "Was that a smile Mr. Mysterious?" she played.

Erik quickly removed all evidence.

"I regret to say that the Erik you speak of escaped your trap," Patrick informed his mistress who was sitting in a large armchair.

Audrey chuckled as she sipped at her blood martini. "Well I didn't expect for them to actually have a chance. If I wanted them to have a chance, I would have changed them myself," Audrey said. "I simply wanted to make a statement," she continued with a satisfied laugh.

"Perhaps Madame, you should worry about the girl if you intend to get him to join us. I thought she was the main problem," Patrick put in.

The sound of glass breaking echoed over the empty room. Angry, Audrey stood up and to face Patrick with her fierce red eyes. "How dare you say that!" she scorned.

"I'm sorry Madame-," Patrick stuttered.

"Do you think that I'm stupid?"

"No!"

"Do you think that I don't know what the hell I'm doing?" she continued with the patronizing.

"No! Please don't hurt me!" Patrick pleaded.

"Believe me, I have a perfect plan for the ballet brat!" she finished sternly.

"I'm sorry, I'll never question you again!" Patrick screamed.

"I know you won't, you're too much of a coward," she said with a laugh.

"So where do you want to go?" Erik asked Christine as he sat down on the couch and waited for her to get ready.

"I actually have a surprise planned," Christine answered from the bathroom.

"A surprise?" Erik repeated astonished.

"Yep," Christine said as she walked out of the bathroom ready to go.

Erik gasped. She looked so beautiful with her long chocolate hair curled into a loose bun, her bright blue eyes glowed, and she wore a short black dress. "What?" she said.

Erik quickly stood up. "Oh nothing you just look so beautiful," he replied.

Christine smiled slyly. "Thanks."

"Why did you have to blindfold me Christine?" Erik asked her with a little anger in his voice. He didn't like not being in control. He didn't know exactly where they were, but he knew they were inside a building obviously because he heard her open a few doors, and they were now walking up some stairs, and he could hear the business of the city around them.

"Because it's a surprise!" Christine answered. Erik didn't know if he liked the surprise much.

She opened one more door and Erik could tell they were outside because of the sound of the breeze, but he couldn't feel it. "Ok we're here," she announced as she slowly took of the blindfold.

They were on the roof of one of the tallest buildings in New York. "This building is right beside the hospital. When my father died one of the doctors brought me over here. It was the biggest help after he died," she paused. Erik could tell this was hard for her. "The silence just gives me peace. It's like whole other world up here. Just looking at the stars, watching the lights below…it's amazing how much it helps," Christine explained sadly.

Erik understood her completely. He'd been up here often, and for some unknown reason it helped him feel a lot better too. He liked the silence…and the darkness. But after killing the three vampires being on top of this building wasn't what was helping him. He glanced over at Christine who was gazing down below on the side. Her bun had now fallen out from the wind, and her face was looking pale from the cold, but Erik thought she had never looked more beautiful. "Christine?"

She turned around to look at him with big blue eyes. He was about to ask her a question but was stopped with her lips pressed against his in a passionate kiss. Erik graced is hands down her spine which was the closest he'd ever touched a woman like Christine. Still kissing passionately, he wrapped his arms around her bringing her closer; sweet warmth was radiating from her small body.

She gladly jumped into his arms without even breaking a moment of their kiss. Erik was enjoying every sweet sensation of her touch; he was enjoying the smell of her vanilla perfume, and the feeling her beautiful lips felt against his. It wasn't right at all though. "Christine," he gasped through her kisses.

She stopped to look at him sadly. "I know…your secret," she murmured sadly.

"Yeah," he answered more angry then sad. He wanted to continue what they were doing; he wanted it so badly he could feel it running through the cold blood in his veins, but they could never get that far until he found the courage to tell her what he was.

"Erik you can tell me," she pleaded as he took his big hands in her small ones.

"Christine, you might be ready to know, but I'm not ready to tell you," he confessed.

"Erik," she pouted with teary blue eyes.

"I've gotta go," he lied as he walked back toward the door. The last thing he wanted to see was her sad.

"Erik wait!" He stopped and turned around to look at her. "I love you," she said barely above a whisper, but he heard everything she said. He smiled without caring if she saw.

He twisted the door handle, and was about to walk through. "I love you too," he finally replied. He couldn't be sure, but he could have sworn he saw her smile too.

Captain Horn gazed horrified at the bloody sight before him. "My God," he exclaimed. Blood was everywhere, and to the side were three dead bodies with bite marks all over them, and a huge hole in their hearts.

"I told you, you should have never questioned me." The Captain didn't even have to look to know it was the mysterious Mr. De Chagny that he had talked to many times before.

"Oh come on, there's not proof that this was…" he stopped for a second to look at the handsome man, "vampires," he whispered.

"Bite marks, stakes through the heart, bloody footprints sprawled around the place, they look as if they moved themselves…the list goes on and on," Raoul debated with no emotion.

The cop was silent for a second as he took in the bloody sight. He couldn't deny that the scene did look suspicious, but surely there was another obvious answer. "Ok let's say I do believe you. What do we do?"

The young man smiled in satisfaction and was about to answer when… "I think I can help you there." Both surprised, they shot around to see a beautiful young woman standing there with a devilish grin on her face, and an evil look in her eyes.

Hope you liked it!
