Chapter 14: Warnings
The day before Philip was to meet with Erik, he finds out from his brother that he is going to meet with Erik too, for the choice.
"Phillip, I need you to give this to Meg," Raoul hands him a note.
"What is it?"
"I plan on meeting with Erik tomorrow. Of course I won't tell you all I have planned, that way you won't tell Meg and she can't warn them."
"Raoul, don't do anything stupid. I still say let her be happy and try and be friends like you used to be."
"GO! And he'd better be there at 4pm."
"He's not going to agree to your terms."
"He will if he wants his kids back."
"It's a lose lose situation for him and bittersweet even for you."
"Either way, I win. Now go."
"Leaving," Phillip turned and walked out.
Christine was bringing out lunch to Nadir and Erik when Meg rushed in to the house.
"We have an issue," Meg begins.
"You want lunch?" Christine offers
"Yea sure but hurry," Meg replies sitting down.
Christine was back within 5 minutes. Handing Meg a plate, she goes to sit with Erik, "What's wrong Meg?"
Meg looked dead at Erik, "Raoul want your choice tomorrow at 4 pm."
"WHAT?!" Christine yells.
"Did I forget to mention he said in person," Meg hands Erik the note.
Phantom or Opera Ghost,
I demand you answer tomorrow, 4pm prompt at eh La Italia down the street from the Populaire. Bring Christine with you, she's the one to make the choice. Anyway the reservation will be under my name: De Changy. Your kids are fine and I may even bring them with me. It's up to them. They may not want to come. They like it here. Anyway until tomorrow.
Raoul
Erik closed the note and tossed it aside, "Fine, I'll be there."
Meg looked surprised, "You're taking this well."
"Don't say anything," Christine shook her head, "this just means he will be in a rage after you leave."
Nadir spoke this time, "Better yet, Christine, go upstairs with Meg. Come back for dinner. I should have Erik back to normal or at least calm by then."
"Ok," Christine got up.
Erik grabs her wrist, "Christine, don't fear please."
"I don't. What if Meg and Madame Giry spend the night."
Erik nodded kissing her hand before letting her go, "I love you, Mon angel."
"I know you do. I love you too, Erik."
Edward and Catherine were in there room talk when Raoul walk in.
"You two get to see your parents tomorrow," Raoul smiles.
"We're going home?" Catherine asked.
"That's up to your father," Raoul got up. "Get some rest for tomorrow. We'll even let you sleep in some."
"I don't like you," Edward mutters.
"Yea well get over it," Raoul shrugs. "Goodnight."
