Mr. Erik Destler (A Phantom Of The Opera Phanphic)

Chapter 20

*disclamer* Sorry for not updating. School.

Elyza

I woke up in an unfamiliar place. I heard a faint beeping noise and it was dark. Someone had closed my eyes. Pain rushed to my arm and to my torso as my mind came to its senses. I tried to lift my eyelids but they were too heavy. Even realising that seemed painful. After a while, I realised I was in a hospital. All that had happened suddenly plauged my mind. Meg Giry and Christine Daaé.. They had.... I didn't want to think about it... Suddenly, I heard my sister call my name. The sound seemed so alien to me that I ignored it; until she called out again, "Elyza..?"

Their screams brought me some type of pleasure and a feeling of power. I leaned closer still to the girls faces and they only screamed louder. I was smiling now. I knew. "Tell me. What. You. Did." They were not answering me and my patience was running dry. Both girls had their eyes shut tightly and they looked like they were about to faint. "TELL ME THIS INSTANT, YOU IMBECILES!" The dark-headed girl was the one to speak first. "I had only meant to frighten her. I didn't mean to physically hurt her!" "You liar! You threatened her in front of me! Tell me exactly what you did and your punishment might be less severe..."

Elyza

I wasn't too keen on speaking or moving, so I just lay there, the monitor continuing its slow, steady beeping. I knew it was wrong, but I ignored my sister and my mum. It's not like I was dead or dying or anything. They knew that. I was just too tired to continue. Tired of Christine and Meg's endless torment and bullying. But.... I remember hearing my favourite teacher's voice coo to me. That brought a very small smile to my lips.

I was so angry I wanted to strangle them with their long hair. I replaced my mask, walked over to the door, and opened it. I would see her for myself, assure she was okay. "GO NOW AND LEAVE ME!!" They scrambled out the door and I followed, I felt the eyes of my next class staring at me as I walked out the front doors of the school, to my car.
