Christine

Chapter 12; Once Upon Another Time

Just trying end your suffering...

Erik's pov

"Oh my God Christine!" I cried. I rushed to her side. Thankfully she was awake. She looked like she was beathen to death. She had scars on her arms and legs and a bad black eye. Who could have done this to her? How can anyone be so crule? "E-Erik" she tried to speak but I cut her off. "Don't speak angel please I will take you to the hospital." I picked her up and she let out a cry of pain. "No please! No doctors!" She beg'd. Why does'nt she want help?

"Christine you are seriously ingured". I argued. "No please I don't have the money". She explained.

"Don't worry I'm paying". I insisted. But she would'nt let me. "No please take me down there, I just want to be with you". I guess I have no choice I've waisted to mutch time already.

Iran down stairs and everyone gasped when they saw us. Christine looked like she was going to pass out but she did'nt. She did'nt take her eyes of from me.

I grabbed a wagon and drove away as quickly as I could. I wanted to go to the hospital but I'm shore I can bring a doctor to her instead since I'm dead and she's missing. We can't take the chance.

When we arrived to the lair I picked her up from the boat and put her down on the bed. She was only in her black slip. I pulled the covers up over her. "Angel can you help me change, this slip is not comfortable, is it alright if I used one of your shirts?" She asked. I felt myself blushing a little.

"Oh...yes..of course." When I finally helps her I cleaned her up as mutch as I could. "Erik...my son is home with Lucy could you get him for me?" She has a son...my hear broke in half, but I kept the anger in me inside.

"You have a son?" I asked carefully. "Yes, he's name is Gustave after my father". I could see in her eyes there was something more to it. But that did'nt matter now. She's her with me and that's all I need to know.

"Do you feel like something is broken?" I asked. "Thankfully no" she said smiling at me, with a little bit of hope in her eyes.

"I'll get your son now and the doctor tomorrow, alright?" She nodded her head in agreement. "Angel before you go could we sing?" Christine asked me, no not asking, begging.

"Of course angel". I said with a soft smile. I did'nt know what to do but I will follow her werever she will go.

Once upon another time

Our story had only begun

You chosed to turn the page

And I made choices to

Once upon that other time

We did what we thought must be done

And now we have no choice

We do what we must do

We love, we live,  we give what we can give

And take what little we deserve

She sang and it was still beautiful. I was a little nervous about her singing, especially in her condicion.

Once upon another time

I knew how our story would end

But maybe I was wrong

But now that moments gone

We're it still that other time

I made time itself somehow bend

But now I'm not that strong and time keeps moving on

We love we live we give what we can give

And take what little we deserve

We love we live we give what we can give

And take what little we deserve

We both sang now with tears in our voices.  Our hands moving thouths each other perfectly.We both wanted to change the past and make something different. But it's to late. All I want for her is to be happy even if it means she can't be with me. But I have been dreaming of her coming back to the stage again. I can tell she wants it to. Christine fell asleep, I kissed her hand and left to find her son.

"Goodnight angel".
