Erik and Christine: Loves Secret (A Phantom of the Opera Story)

Chapter 6

After Erik left the pub, he went to the river and stared at it's reflection. "I must be out of my mind," he says to himself silently. "I honestly don't know what to do. I want to stay and not think of my problems. I want to start over and not think about the past. But yet, my heart every night aches for you Christine. I don't know why. Is it really because I love you or is it because I feel like something bad is going to happen?" Erik looks up at the night sky. "God I wish you would give me a sign."

Erik looks back down and has a tear that rolls down his cheek. "Christine...my angel...I wonder if you're thinking about me. If you are wanting to see me."

At the same time at Raoul's Mansion. Raoul hears music at the end of the hallway and knocks on the door. "Christine?" Raoul opens the door and sees that Christine is playing the piano and is composing the music that she is playing. "Christine! Why are you composing?" Raoul asks.

Christine looks at Raoul and says, "Why does it matter?" Raoul leans down to her and says "I thought I said for you to not anymore." Raoul takes his hand and touches Christine's face. Christine is confused by what Raoul is talking about. "You said not to play the piano anymore, you didn't say anything about music!"

"Well, now I am. No more music! No singing, no anything!"

"Raoul! You can't be serious!" He looks at her and holds her is the arms. "I am being serious Christine!" Christine stands up and looks down at Raoul. "What is wrong with me playing music? What is wrong with my singing? I thought I was going to be able to perform again in Paris." Raoul stands up. "No. We're starting a new life. Without this childish nonsense."

"You can't do that!"

"Watch me!"

Raoul grabs her arms. "Let go of me! Let me go Raoul! You're hurting me!" Christine yells.

"Say you'll stop playing and I will stop!" He says with a loud tone in his voice. "No! I will never stop playing or singing! Ever!"

"Fine!" Raoul grabs Christine and pulls her towards her bedroom. "No! Where are you taking me?!"

"To your room! I won't let you out until morning!" Raoul yells as he throws Christine in her bedroom. "I am not a child! I am your fiancé!" Christine yells at Raoul. He heads towards the door. "Yes but also one that should obey her future husband! Goodnight Christine!" Raoul says as he locks the door.

"No! No! Raoul! Let me out! Please! Open the door!" Christine begs Raoul as she shakes the door handle. Raoul turns around and sees one of his servants behind him who watched the entire thing. "Don't let her out! On any circumstances! Understand?"

"Oui monsieur," the servant said as Raoul gives him the keys to Christine's room. "Oh and remove all music sheets, piano, everything and take it back to her fathers' household! I do not want it here! Anymore!" Raoul demands. "Oui Monsieur, we'll have someone pick it up in the morning!"

"Do it now!"

"But Monsieur..."

"I said now!" he yelled. "Oui Monsieur," as the servant looks away from Raoul. "Good," Raoul said as he walks away.

"Raoul please! Please! You can't leave me in here like this! Help me! Someone please!" Christine screams as she bangs on the door trying to get out.

A few minutes later she sits down and begins to cry. "Oh Angel where are you?! I need you! I need you!"

At the same time. Erik is riding on a horse back home. "I among my darling Christine. I am on my way my angel."
