His Melody (Complete)

Chapter 7

Erik sat in his music room with Melodie sleeping on the couch. Erik tried to finish his music but kept thinking about her. Erik knew that if he was to fall in love again then it would be the end of his. He couldn't help it she was amazing in every way. She was beautiful, strong, caring, and she had an amazing voice, It was even better than Christine's. Erik turned and saw Melodie stirring then a smile grew on her beautiful pale face.
Melodies dream
"Melodie you did wonderfully well. You did the song perfectly."
Erik said walking up to her after her big performance.
Melodie had on a beautiful blue dress and her curly blonde hair was cascading over her shoulders.
"The song was beautiful, it sounded beautiful
Every note, every word
And it felt beautiful, and I felt beautiful
Lost in the music once more
Feeling it rise up and soar
Alive once again!"
Her and Mr. Y sang as he grabbed her gently and pulled her into a kiss. It was amazing it every way It felt ... right. When they pulled away Mr.Y brushed some of her hair out of her face and stared into her bright blue eyes.
End of dream

Erik wondered what she was dreaming about. He turned back to his music and began writing again with more inspiration. The things she does to him is magical. He truly loved her but he knows he can't.
As Gleb walked through Phantasma he found the boy who delivered him the not and took Melodie to Mr. Y.
"You Boy!"
Auguste turned around to see Melodies father. Fear over took him and he ran. He new that he wanted to know where Melodie was. Gleb took off after him. As they ran through Phantasma they dogged people, carts, and entertainers. Auguste tripped and Gleb grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"Where is my Daughter?!"
"I will take you to her just please don't hurt me."
"Get up Boy."
Auguste got up and lead him to Mr. Y's home.
As Erik was sitting at his desk working he looked out the window to see Gleb and Auguste walking in to his home. Anger ran through him. How dare he lead his enemy to his one safe place in this world. Erik quietly left the room leaving Melodie alone. He closed the door gently and locked it so Gleb would not get in. Erik was glad he invested in sound proof walls for that room.
Erik walked down the long staircase. As Auguste and Gleb walked in they both looked up and met his eyes.
"You!"
"Ah Mr. Vaganov we meet again."
"What have you done with my daughter?!"
"She is living her dream. She left just a few hours ago."
"I know that's not true she's here."
"I'm afraid you are mistaken."
"Stop your deceitful lies she's here!"
"Sir even if she was here i know she would not want to see you. She always told me about how she hated being with her parents because they banned her from doing the one thing she loves."
Gleb felt guilt flood his entire body. He knew that banning her to sing would come back and get him.
"Mr. Vaganov If i might suggest something i would recommend that you let your twenty year old daughter express herself."
"Don't you tell me what to do! Tell me where she is NOW!"
Gleb ran forward and grabbed Mr.Y by his neck.
"TELL ME!" Gleb yelled.
Mr. Y dropped the keys in his hands then pointed up the stairs. Gleb grabbed the keys and ran up the stairs to the music room. He unlocked the door and pushed it open. He looked over to the couch to see his sleeping daughter.
"Melodie?"
Melodie's eyes fluttered open hoping to see Mr. Y.
"Father? What are you doing here?"
Gleb ran to his daughter and gently grabbed her hands.
"O Melodie im so sorry. Did he hurt you?"
"No of course not."
"Melodie please answer this honestly. Did you run away from home because i banned you and your mother from singing?"
Melodie looked down and felt tears forming in her eyes.
"Melodie im so sorry, i never should have forbid you to do what you love." Gleb said holding her in his arms.
"Melodie let's go home."
"No."
"No?"
Mr.Y peeked into the room.
"I'm not leaving here i feel free to sing. Here i feel like the music that Mr. Y writes is magical. The way it fills my soul and my mind. I'm not leaving this place i love."
"Melodie me and your mother have been worried sick. Your coming home where it's safe."
"No!"
"Melodie i am your father you will do what i ask!"
Gleb stood up and grabbed her by the arm. Mr. Y hid so they wouldn't see him.
Gleb roughly pulled Melodie out of Mr. Y's home.
Melodie tried to run back but her father kept a strong grip on her arm.
Erik was confused. Melodie wanted to stay? She wanted to be with a man that had a face of horror, a man that writes music, a man that owns the strangest place in the world. Erik walked back in his room and looked out his window. He saw Melodie looking up at his home as Gleb pulled her through the crowd of people back to her home. 'Does she love me?' Erik asked himself. Melodie always did what he asked, she tried to help him with his music, and she felt sorrow for him when he was alone.
"I must find out." he said thinking out loud.
"Auguste! Come here." he called as he heard fast footsteps running up the stairs.
"Yes sir?" He asked stepping into the room.
"Where is Melodie's Home?"
"After you leave Phantasma it's through the woods near a small lake."
"Thank you Auguste."
Erik closed the door after he left and sat back down at his piano. He needed to see her, he need to know how she felt.
