Erik's P.O.V
I was shocked and delighted that Elena accepted. I grabbed her hand then guided her to another tunnel that led to his domain. She was memorized the way to the lair moved with ease and made no hesitation in being pulled by me. Elena then started to sing something that made me smirk.
In sleep he sang to
In dream he dream
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
I smiled and then looked at Elena who did not look away. She started to blush a deep crimson, which in my opinion was attractive.
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn form me
To glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind.
I noticed Elena looking at me with wonder and raised an eyebrow at her. Elena blushed even more, which for some odd reason delighted me, and then she stared at my mask.
Elena: Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
Me: It's me they hear
I lead Elena down the last flight of stairs and we both joined our voices.
My (your) spirit and my (your) voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is here (there)
Inside my (your) mind
I opened the door and Elena stepped forward. She looked around with admiration and wonder. I haven't seen that look since Christi- No! Don't think of her, I thought. Elena gasped when she saw the way the candles made the cold and dark place come to life. I seized the opportunity to sing. I stood near her and put my hands on her shoulder and turned her around abruptly.
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Elena: Were both in you
Both: And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera
Is there inside my (your) mind
I looked at Elena and for a brief moment she looked like Christine. I got near her and stared into her innocent eyes, and then I caressed her cheek.
"Sing my Angel of music!" I blurted out and mentally slapped myself.
"He's there the Phantom of the Opera," Elena sung.
I smiled as Elena began to sing the high notes. Every now and then I commanded Elena to sing louder with a simple "SING!"
No doubt she has talent, though I sense discomfort in the upper register. That, however, will change soon. I thought. "SING FOR ME!"
With one final breath, Elena let out the final note. She was panting a bit but far less than Christine, the Elena stared at the floor with embarrassment. I took out a finger, placed it under her chin, then I put a little pressure which made Elena look into my eyes.
"Elena, you have done nothing wrong so do not put your head down. Never put your head down when you've done nothing wrong. Am I clear?" I said while cupping Elena's cheek. Elena nodded.
"Erik, I know I'm horrid and the managers were must have been mad to give me that position. I know I need work but since I trained myself I was not familiar with a few techniques and-"
"You trained yourself?" I asked amazed.
"I—yes, Erik I think I should leave the position to someone else. If you wish it I'll leave tomorrow," Elena said as she lowered her head again.
"NO! YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ELENA!" I yelled but then slowly calmed down. I saw Elena flinched a bit but then relax a bit as she saw my reassuring smile.
"Elena, your voice is beautiful, more beautiful then my previous student. With a proper teacher your voice will make others live as they never lived before. And please Elena, don't lower your head in shame," I stated.
"Alright Erik, I'll stay. However, if you believe that I'm not improving, you may dismiss me," Elena reasoned.
"I believe that you will improve Elena. You have this fire in your eyes that shows determination, I may know you only for a few minutes but something tells me that you are a hard worker. Now then, your lessons will after rehearsal start from 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock sharp. I will retrieve you from your dressing room and lead you to my home, and then I'll lead you back. Does it seem alright with you?" I asked.
"Yes, now can you lead me back? It's awfully late and rehearsals start early tomorrow," Elena said with a little yawn. I nodded and lead Elena back, stealing a look every now and then at Elena.
I slid the door open and help Elena in the room. Elena walked in carefully and looked backed at me. She then walked to me and kissed his cheek.
"Good-night Erik," Elena hum as she slid the door closed.
"Good-night Elena," I whispered in the darkness stunned with what happened.
Me: Oh what´s going to happen next! Comment and review and hope you like the chapter!
