chapter 5
Lucius was backstage waiting to see his beloved mother sing. he has been very excited about hearing her sing on stage. He was wandering carelessly around backstage. not even knowing that he was being watched by meg giry as she was plotting what she was going to do. while szayel was in the audience. Trista was hanging out with her new love her soulmate dr gangle. but Lucius was oblivious to the drama around him. watching the backstage action. as he wondered and walked. he vocalized wordlessly to himself. a song inside of his head. something he shared with his father. Lucius wondered past Raoul. who waits in the wings. watching bella intently.
"Will she sing? will she flee? What is she thinking now? is it him? or is it me? devil take the hindmost." said Raoul
Raoul was wondering what bella was thinking right now. as Lucius walked past erik. who was watching his son and smiled. He was waiting in the opposite wing. ready to savor his triumph. His bella he knew for a fact she would choose him. This was something that he knew deep down. and plus, szayel kinda hinted off to what bella wanted. He thanked him for it. bella was thinking the song in her head while she was waiting for the performance. She was also looking forward for her son to get to know if birthfather. and to become a family.
"will she stay? will she go? does she know even now? please Isabella. stop the show….. devil takes the hindmost." said Raoul
"Obey your heart, and sing for me! you want it so, stay and be mine eternally. devil take the hindmost." said erik
"Now it's time, so make your choice. do it for our son!" said erik and raoul
"Use your head." said erik
"No time to wait." said Raoul
"Hesitate we're all undone!" said erik and Raoul
erik knew that bella would chose him he felt it when he was with her last. while Lucius weaves his way past madam giry who glared at the child. even though she knew that she shouldn't hold the poor child to what was going on. but she is. since his existence was the reason why she was not getting nothing and her child as well. but she had a feeling they were never going to get nothing. and from the beginning erik didn't want to be with her child. in which she was overlooking all along. while she paced nervously. thinking something bad was going to happen. but she was ignoring that feeling as well. Raoul looked at his beloved sweet sister.
"Will she stay? will she go? does she know even now? please Isabella, stop the show, devil take the hindmost." said Raoul
"Obey your heart, and sing for me and sing for me, you, me the child eternally, devil take the hindmost." said erik
"Perhaps she won't go on. Perhaps she lose her nerve. Perhaps her voice won't serve, and she will fail him now. and then my child and I, we'll get what we deserve. devil take the hindmost." said madam giry
"Will she stay? will she go? does she know even now? please Isabella, stop the show, devil take the hindmost!" said Raoul
"Obey your heart, and sing for me, you me, the child, eternally, devil take the hindmost.!" said erik
"Perhaps she won't go on, perhaps she lose her nerve, perhaps her voice wont serve and she will fail him now. and then my child and I we'll get what we deserve…. devil hindmost." said madam giry
"Now it's time! no turning back! all is on the line! here it is, the final dance! one last chance to get whats mine!"
Lucius circles around backstage, past madam giry, past erik, past raoul, coming to a stop when familiar face step into the wings. meg who was going to take the boy for a walk and maybe a swim as well. she was not going to bring him back. madam giry slides next to erik. she was going to make him know what she was feeling like. and what he had done to her. and her child. even though it was all her who made her child screwed up.
" I hope Isabella is worthy of you. I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness has done to meg and me." said madam giry
Meg smiled and put a arm around Lucius and walked away without one noticing. That was when the curtain opens. and bella steps out and faces the audience. since the orchestra plays bella cue… and she falters torn, then decisively she steps forward. and sings the song erik had written to her. She smiled mentally and the song was beautiful. and she was going to go through with it. she was going to show erik that she chose him over her brother. She was tired of being around her perverted brother. it was time for her to be with the man who is her soul mate.
"Who knows when love begins? who knows what makes it start? one day it's it's simply there, alive inside your heart. it slips into your thoughts, it infiltrates your soul, it takes you by surprise, then seizes full control, try to deny it, and try to protest, but love won't let you go once you've been possessed. love never dies. love never falters. once it has been spoken, love is yours, love never fades, love never alters, hearts mat get broken, love endures, and soon you submit, surrender flesh and bone, that love takes on a life much bigger than your own. it uses you at whim and drives you to despair, and forces you to feel more joy than you can bear, lover give you pleasure, and love brings you pain! and yet, when both are gone, love will remain. once it has spoken love is yours," sang bella
Raoul was watching his sweet sister thinking she would run away with him. But with great dignity Raoul turned and exited. bella sees him leave, but she seemed to not care that he was leaving. it was a great relief that he was going to be gone. erik smirked she made her choice. She was choosing him. He sees Raoul leave. It would mean he was not going to be near them anymore. yes, he is her family. but that doesn't matter right now. His heart was soring because she chose him. bella smiled as she turned back to the audience…. and audience that has no idea what has just transpired. with great difficulty she gathered herself and continued you.
"love never dies, love never alters, hearts may get broken, love endures… hearts may get broken… lover never dies! lover will continue! love keeps on breathing when your gone! lover never dies once it is in you! life may be fleeting, love lives on… life may be fleeting, love lives on!" sang bella
bella hears the crowd clap and cheer for her. as she bowed her way around to make her appreciation of them loving her singing. as se is alone on stage, drained, bella accepted the tumultuous applause. the rain of garlands and the shouts and the woops, and how sexy she is. and how beautiful she is from men and woman, after the crowd died down, she made her way back to her dressing room. feeling the rush of singing and how much she missed it. erik who was waiting for her there to congratulate her for her return to the stage. and accepting him and being with him. and choosing him as well. now he and his beloved and their son can be a family.
"Ah. Isabella! my Isabella! what a triumph you gave me tonight! my Isabella! all the dark silent years set right! ah Isabella!" said erik
"The song was beautiful. It sounded beautiful! every note, every word, and it felt beautiful, and I felt beautiful!" said bella
"Lost in the music once more, feeling it rise up and soar, alive once again!" said erik and bella
bella and erik grabbed ahold of each other and kissed each other deeply. erik was so lost in the passion he pushed her up against the wall. as they kiss and kissed. erik was still lost in the passion and so was bella. he pulled up her dress and pushed her undergarments aside as he pulled out cock and pounded her deeply and fast. bella was in pleasure from the feeling that she missed from him. She wanted this ever since she knew he was alive. as he finished. he put bella back down and kissed her. She sealed her fate now with him. She is his and his alone. as he wrapped his arms around her as she read a letter Raoul left her. it would seem he left and never coming back unless she asked it of him. Then it hit her. Lucius was not in the room with her. then it would have been weird that they just made love in front of their child.
"Lucius." whispered bella
"what's wrong?" asked erik
"He should be here! he was meant to be here!" panicked bella
"it's that idiot Raoul! why, I'll kill that drunken fool! that he'd dare take this child… a child that isnst his! mr squelch!" ordered erik
bella was looking around frantic and wondered where was szayel and Trista it was as if they were else were. erik was freaking out. Someone has his little boy. and he was going to find out who. and if it was Raoul, he was going to be a dead man. The bastard was not going to leave this place with his little boy. that is not his child, and he was going to get his little boy back. bella was hoping Raoul would of not been stupid and taken her son from her. squelch hearing that the master needed him. as he rushed to see what was going on.
"sir" said squelch
"Seal the port! blockade each road! call in every favor that I am owed! I'll be dammed if he leaves this island!" ordered erik
"the vicomte de changny left here in a carriage sir, saw him with my own eyes, sir, there was no one with him." said squelch
erik rushed to squelch and grabbed his shirt as bella rushed to his side making sure he was not going to be doing something stupid. bella laid a hand on erik hand to make him let go on the poor man. erik sighed and knew he was not helping matters. while squelching thanks her with a nod. but she was not doing it for him. she was doing it to a panicked father who wanted his child back. and bella was right with him. squelch understood why the master panicked. and he was going to help to find the young master.
"you're lucky my isabella is a kind soul, and she can calm me down. but are you quite certain he left here alone," said erik
"yes sir, was there anyone else here backstage,?" asked squelch
"Yes… yes! madam giry, she was here! with her vicious little sneer, and that comment she made… the ungrateful, back biting snake! she been greedy, yes indeed, she'll get hers now, guaranteed! go now, quickly, bring her round! bring my little boy back safe and sound... and then I'll tear her limb from limb! if Isabella doesn't get to her first!" ordered erik
bella eyes was hard how dare that vile woman take her child. yes, she knew how the woman hated her at the opera house. but why would she take a child that wasn't even close to her. It was as if she had some plan that she was going to use her son for to get what she wanted in the end. bella went over to erik and hugged him to gain some comfort from him. she wondered where szayel and Trista is. why isnnt she is seeing this. As she herself investigated the time gates it seemed to be foggy. This was not a good sign. gangle appeared in the doorway pushing madam giry in front of him. as erik rushed and grabbed her roughly.
"What the hell is the meaning of this? how dare your minions manhandle me in this fashion? I demand a answer!" demanded madam giry
"the boy, woman! what have you done with him!" hissed erik
"The boy? you think I took the boy? Why would I do such a thing? Do you think I don't know who he is? all these years. who has been faithful more than I? no one!" hissed madam giry
"giry" hissed erik
madam giry looked to Isabella who was eye was twitching and she understood how she must be feeling right now. she never hated the woman. She just never understood her. even though she did think of her as one of her own. but when she seen that day when she showed memories of who she is to erik. That was something she never expected. the woman is much older than she is. and she was shocked that the silver kingdom was real. and all the pain she went through. she wouldn't dare to harm her child since she knows she would be able to kill her and make sure she never makes it to the soul socitey. and plus, she knew that she could make her next meal as well since she is half vampire. She knew better not to mess with someone like Isabella.
"All these years, how could you think I'd hurt that child?" asked madam giry
"My patience is running dry." hissed erik
"All these years, I've been a mother to you, and someone to Isabella, as much as my daughter. I know who and what she is. I see that day when she showed her memories to you." said madam giry
"enough!" hissed bella
" do you think I don't know it hurts to see one own child brought to harm?" asked madam giry
"lucius! Lucius! Lucius!" howled erik
bella looked madam giry in the eye as she was reading her. she was telling the truth. bella sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. she wondered who dared to take her and erik child. she rushed to her erik side he was not taking this so well. It was like tamaki all over again and draco as well. This was not going to be a good night. It started out to be a good night and now it was horrible. erik clutched to his bella and knew she was feeling pain as well. Their little boy is missing. And who knows who had him. and what they are doing with him. and what they have planned for him. that was when miss fleck appeared from the shadows.
" sir.. I just passed megs dressing room… it was empty as a tomb…. but her mirror smashed, all in pieces on the floor." said fleck
"Meg?" asked erik and bella
"Oh my god!" gasped madam giry
"Then I saw her down the hall, pulling someone pale and small, and she looked all about, and scurried out the door," said fleck
madam giry covered her mouth how could meg take a child and was going to cause him harm. and the child she had to take was erik and bella's. This was not going to go well for her when they get their hands on her. She was disappointed in what was going on. She knew she was much to blame on this one since how she left her earlier. this was her fault and sealed her own child fate and her health is not going to be good once bella and erik gets their hands on her. Maybe she could plead as a mother to mother to not have her daughter harmed.
"God, I left her so distraught! please, who knows just what she thought? I'm afraid she come undone. but she won't hurt him. meg would never hurt him. how could she hurt him." said madam giry
"I know where they've gone. but we must hurry!" said erik
erik grabbed bella hand as they all left to go and find their son. while madam giry went after them as well. bella was hoping that her son was going to be ok. meg was going to pay for this. how dare she take her child and think she can get away with harming him in front of her. madam giry was not going to be able to save her daughter. she sealed her fate when she took her son and tried to harm him. bella sent out a hell butterfly to go and find szayel and Trista. she needed them just in case something happened to one of them.
