His Songbird (Phantom Of The Opera Fan fiction)

Scene 1: Dinner Fiasco

Charcters: Christine Daae, Erik Destler, Nadir Khan

Setting: Erik's Mansion

Christine: *knocks on the door checking her dress* I should have been more formal...

Nadir: *opens door* Yes, how may I help you?

Christine: *looks up from dress* I-I was invited here by someone. *holds out invite to Nadir*

Nadir: *examines invite* Very well. Come in. I shall return in a moment, miss.

Christine: Thank you *walks inside and gazes around in awe of the home* It's absolutely grand...

Nadir: *smiles* *goes to tell the master of his guest* *returns* If you will follow me...

Christine: *follows Nadir intently*

Nadir: *leads Christine to the dining room where the master is waiting* Sir, your guest. *bows and departs*

Erik: *stands from the seat at the head of the table* Good evening, Christine. Won't you sit down?

Christine: *sits at the other end of the table* Good evening, Monsieur.

Erik: *smiles* I'm glad you were able to come.

C: Work has been quite slow the last few days. So I have been free. *smiles sadly*

Erik: *nods understandingly* I see. Have you enjoyed your freedom?

Christine: I've had more time to work on my real passion for singing. *a grin appears on her face* It always helps me relax in the worst times.

Erik: *smiles at the mention of music* Yes, it is certainly good for that.

Christine: Do you enjoy singing as well? *drinks some wine in front of her*

Erik: *nods* Yes, I do.

Christine: Well on a different note, I'm very confused as to why I'm here Monsieur. It seems to me all you wanted was a chat. *chuckles*

Erik: *laughs* No, my servant should be bringing dinner soon. Whatever would you like to eat this evening?

Christine: I do enjoy Italian cuisine very much sir.

Erik: *smiles and stands* Good. My cook is one of the best. *calls servant and dinner in brought in*

Christine: *looks at the food with greedy eyes but contains herself and slowly begins to eat* It's very good.

Erik: *smiles and starts to eat* I'm glad you like it.

Christine: *finishes her plate in no time* Well this has been fun but you can take off the disguise now, Raoul. It doesn't fool me.

Erik: *frowns* Raoul? Why do you think I am he?

Christine: *stands up and walks toward Erik smiling*

Erik: *frowns* What are you doing?

Christine: Come of it Raoul! I know it's you under that mask of yours! I'm not an idiot.

Erik: *stands up* What if I told you it wasn't Raoul under this mask?

Christine: *rolls her eyes* I don't believe you... come on the game's over. *rips off his mask playfully* *stares at him with terror in her eyes*

Erik: *growls and roars out* See! Damn you! Why didn't you believe me!?

Christine: *stumbles backward causing a wine glass to fall off the table and shatter on the floor* I-I must get going...!

Erik: *reaches forward and grabs Christine's wrist* You're not going anywhere!

Christine: L-let go of me! *struggles against grip*

Erik: *holds tighter* *gone completely insane* No.

Christine: What do you want? I'll give you money or maybe some jewelry! *desperate*

Erik: *growls* You.

Christine: Please Monsieur I don't want to die! *cries*

Erik: *faintly loosens grip so she won't break something* You won't. You will sing.

Christine: S-sing? I don't understand... *looks at him with tears in her eyes*

Erik: *Moves to wipe the tears* I want your voice. I need your voice. You won't be harmed. *bends down to get the his mask and pulls it back on*

Christine: *swipes hand away from his while he is distracted* You won't have my voice! Not as long as I live! *runs to the front door but in the process runs into Nadir* Please Monsieur, help me escape! *pleads to Nadir*

Erik: *runs up and grabs her again* Get. Out. Nadir.

Nadir: *runs away in fear for his life*

Christine: Help me! Someone please help me!

Erik: *growls* There is no one within miles.

Christine: Please let go. I'm only 18 and far too young to be killed... Have mercy on me... I'm sorry... *through tears*

Erik: *grabs shoulders gently and says almost softly* You won't be killed. You'll live like a queen. *narrows eyes* Just don't ever touch the mask again.

Christine: But I don't want to live like a queen... *Gulps* I want to go home... back to Raoul...

Erik: *grip tightens* You never will go back to that fop.

Christine: *cringes at his grip and hangs her head in defeat* I-I give up... *her struggling ceases and she looks down to the floor*

Erik: *nods gently* Allow me to show you to your room.

Christine: Yes sir... *mumbles*

Erik: *leads her up to a perfect room* Here you are. We shall fetch your things later.

Christine: *Looks around in awe of it but tries not to let him see that she impressed* My things?

Erik: *notices her awe but chooses not to mention it* Yes, from your place of residence. Surely you would want them?

Christine: How long am I going to be here for? *shakily sits down on the bed*

Erik: *stands in doorway* Until, you never want to leave.

Christine: And what makes you think that someday I'll want to stay here? *snaps at him*

Erik: *raises eyebrows* You will. I know will, one day.

Christine: *hisses* You're insane! What's the real reason you want me here!?

Erik: *smirks* I have told you. I want you to sing for me.

Christine: *screeches a high note* There I sang, now let me leave!

Erik: *shakes head* I'm sorry my dear, but that is not near enough. *moves to leave*

Christine: Wait!

Erik: *looks at her* Yes?

Christine: What... what's you name?

Erik: *smiles slightly* Erik.

Christine: I-I always get nightmares whenever I sleep somewhere new... so would you mind if...

Erik: Would I mind what?

Christine: Staying... to help me sleep?

Erik: *locks door behind him as he moves into the room* If you wish.

Christine: *sighs as she hears this song and smiles unknowingly* Pretty music... *whispers childlike* *drifts to sleep and cuddles up against Erik's chest in a daze*

Erik: *finishes singing and then lighter down in bed* Sleep well, Christine. *leaves after shocking door behind him*
