Rose Buds Don't Last Forever (Phantom x Reader)#Wattys2016

Chapter 21

You blankly stare at the newspaper. 
"Witch was burned at stake."  You read out loud. 

"I didn't think witches were around any more." Erik finds you and touches your hand.

"Maybe there is a witch that could fix your vision." You say exicted.

"Do you want us to be burned?" Erik asks meanly.

"No, but we won't get caught;nobody knows your blind except Christine."

"True, but Christine could give us away." He states.

"Well you do have a point, but you could hide the fact that your cured." You say.

"So, where will we find a witch?" Erik asked

"My mom knew one and she lives right here in Paris." You smile

"How ironic." Erik frowned.

"Cheer up." You put on you cloak.

"Come on." You laugh.

"Fine." He grunted as he put on his cloak. You slowly went up the stairs and felt a gloved had and smiled.

"What if I got a tattoo." You ask.

"Why do you want one?" He asks.

"Yea, a little." You shrug.

"Well you can do whatever your little heart desires." He smiled.

"Would you get one with me." You look to him.

"I don't know, I have seen some gypsies that have had some nasty ones. I'll have to think about it." He says.

"Well, we are here." You look at the large oak door and gave it a slight knock.

"Hello." A woman with red frizzy hair opened the door slightly.

"Hi, are you Glinda?" You ask.

"Well if it isn't Ms.Y/L/N." She smiled.

"We need your help." You scratch your neck.

"What do you need?" She asks.

"My husband's vision to be restored." You say bringing Erik closer.

"Well if it isn't the Phantom." She clenched Erik's chin hard.

"I thought I recognized that name." He frowned.

"What connection do you to have?" You ask.

"We were in the freak show together, I saw Madame Giry save him. What a mistake that was." She grinned.

"Will you grant my wish?" You ask.

"I am not your fairy godmother so, it comes with a price." She smiled maliciously.

"And what price is that?" You pull out a few francs.

"It will not be any money." She said.

"Than what do you want?" You look to the witch

"I need the person who did it."

"We don't know who that is." Erik frowned.

"I could tell you, but I need a favor." She handed you a paper.

"What do you need, I can't read this," I say.

"You need to get the first raindrop you see, it has to be the first." She pointed outside.

"When did it start to rain?" You looked confused.

"Go fetch it." She laughed. You went out there and caught that raindrop.

"Hmm, well I will do my end of the bargain. The person who did it was Meg Giry."

"Are you sure?" You say.

"Yes, now you have to get her dead or alive." She sent us on our way.

"How could Meg do this?" You asked.

"Well, she always is pretty quiet unless I am there and she screams it." Erik rolls his eyes.

"We will have to lure her here." You say tabbing your chin.

"That will be pretty easy she a naive girl." He stated.

"And I thought she was my friend, but how did she get away with it?" You frown.

"Just like Christine, the truth about these ballet rats is they only care about themselves." He says frustrated.

"I have to learn this the hard way, but why is she so jumpy and friendly?" You ask confused.

"Between you and me I think she has schizophrenia or ADD, but I am not the one to judge." He went into the mirror.

"Where are you going?" You ask.

" I am getting my Punjab lasso." He continues.

"We are not killing her, we are to bring her to the witch alive." You grab his hand.

"Glinda is malicious it's not even worth bringing her alive, we will just witness her death." He pulled away from you.

"Then I won't go." You cross your arms.

"You don't have to, it was your idea though." He says.

"Are you rubbing it in my face?" You ask angrily.

"No, why would you think that?" He asks.

"I don't know, I guess I will go, but you have to carry the body." You say turning away. Some time had passed, he killed Meg and we went back to the witches.

"I want one more thing." She smirks

"What would that be?" You frowned.

"Your child, it is due today." She says.

"We gave you what you asked, we are not going to give you our happiness."

"Very well, come this way." She leads us to a fountain was Glinda gave Erik, Megs eyes.

"I am going to take your child when she turns 15 years of age." She says. You felt a slight break, the witch was right.

"I am having the baby." You cry.
