"Will You Hear Me?"

"Will You Hear Me?" Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

"ERIK!!" I gasped as I ran to him. My eyes filled with tears as my vision was becoming blurry. Darker and darker until I couldn't see any more. I blinked, and found my self in my dressing room. It had been a dream. Except where were Raoul and Erik? I had looked over to my mirror and saw it had been open. I walked down the long tunnel into the Erik's lair. "Erik! Erik?" I questioned that I was the only one in the opera house. Then, in the distance I heard.... "Christine......" Like a soft whisper. Erik wouldn't have said it like that... He would have noticed me and had talked normally. But was it him? I walked past the large candles to the end of the lair. That was where the windy- voice was coming from. "Christine!" This time I knew it was Erik, but I turned just to see Raoul standing in the lake water. "Raoul!" I sprinted to him, and leaped into his arms. He had reluctantly caught me but put me down immediately, like he had been angry. "Raoul... What is going on? Why are you down here?! WHERE'S ERIK?" he grabbed my wrist and started to drag me along. "Come with me. Now." I noticed he had not looked so loving. "Christine...." The same soft whisper came from the corner of the lair. I turned around. And sure enough, it WAS Erik. Standing in front of me. "Don't go! Christine!" Erik yelled after me as Raoul continued to drag me along. Erik ran toward me as I tried to loosen from Raoul's strong grip. "Let go of me! Raoul!" And sure enough, Erik had vanished from my sight.
