Thoughts of Love

Chapter Six

Erik's POV

That man. He always came here looking for Christine, even when she hadn't been here for years. Always thinking that I.would have her. Maybe he should check and see how secure his little engagement really is if he can't trust Christine.

A throw a rock at a mirror and it shatters Making a high-pitched shattering noise.

"Miss Daae. Come."

Christine's POV

I hear a mirror shattering.

"Miss Daae. Come." he says calmly.

I hurry down the steps and see that he is standing in front of the opening to a passageway. Shards of glass are scattered about.

Erik takes my hand, and we enter through the passageway opening. He grabs a torch and I automatically look at the walls.

"This is where your father painted a picture for me when I was young, maybe 10 years of age at most."

The wall was covered with a painting of Erik's terrible childhood, and the better part. There was a circus on one side and.music on the other. It was beautiful, but I.never knew that my father had painted.

"I have been waiting for a long time to show you this. Before your father died, he told me to teach you how to sing, Christine. To watch over you."

He pulled me into the room at the end of the passageway. My father's violin sat on a chair in the corner. The rocking chair he loved.

Erik's POV

"Why do you have these things that he loved?!" she shouted.

"Gusta- your father gave them to me to save for you. This is where he would spend time with me when I was all alone."

It was true. Gustave spent an endless amount of time with me. I can vaguely remember when Christine was born. He told me to watch over her.

My thoughts are interrupted by sobs.

"I miss him so much.." Christine sobbed.

"Angel, I know..... But come along, I never ment for this to upset you."

I took her hand and led her back to my lair.

I led her up the steps to my bed, and helped her into it.

I gently sat down next to her and took.her hand. Her delicate hands. Oh, how I have longed for her touch.
