Erik POV

Alexis kept running and I attempted to stop her but she refused.

"Alexis please slow down someone could get hurt! Even worse you!"

"No Erik I need-..."

She stopped instantly and I bumped into her.

"Alexis what is wrong why did you stop?!"

She pointed forwards and I knew I had to do something.

Alexis POV

I stood there staring at kevin.

"Raoul! Let him go or so help me-"

"So help you what. What can you do? Your family may be dea-"

I punched him in his jaw and heard a crack. My hand stung. He let go of Kevin so i took him and ran with Erik following behind us. We made it to the catacombs. I dropped to my knees because my breathing became faster.

"Alexis! Whats wrong!"

Erik POV

She looked pale and weak. Kevin shook my arm to get my attention.

"Phantom Phantom! She has asthma!"

I grew worried. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a paper bag and handed it to Alexis.

"Breathe slowly in and out."

She did as told and repeated this process until she was better. She sat there for a while until he breathing steadied. I looked at her relieved and then ran to all the doors to the catacombs to make sure they were locked. They did not need Raoul harming them anymore. I went back down and found Alexis fast asleep in the swan bed. I did not want to disturb her so I lyed down on the couch.

"Whats your real name?"

I heard someone say so I jolted up to find out it is Kevin.

"Mommy told me not to ask you but I want to know."

A shot of curiosity struck me.

"Wait Kevin...did you say 'Mommy'?"

His eyes widened.

"Please do not tell mother she'll be upset. She did'nt want me to tell you."

"Why?"

"Beauty Belle thought the beast would not like her if he found out she was poor."

He left me with that and ran off to sleep with Alexis. I played this riddle in my head over and over wondering what it meant. I pondered the thought so much I thought I would explode if I did not find out the answer soon.

"...Erik.."

I was pulled from my thoughts towards Alexis who looks well rested. A wave of relief washed over me.

"Yes Alexis?"

"I am truly sorry. I did not want to bring you into this quarrel."

I stared at her. I desperately wanted to know. I could not hold back any longer.

"Beauty Belle thought the beast would not like her if he found out she was poor. Does that have any meaning to you?"

She stared at me with a mix of sorrow and fear on her face.

"I knew I couldn't hide it for long. Kevin is my son and before you say anything I know I know you must be furious. Let me explain before you can say anything please and I beg you you."

"How dare you not tell me! I have told you everything! EVERYTHING! I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THIS STORY GO ON!"

She had tears violently falling down her face and i felt like an ass.

"Remember Raoul?... Once upon another time, he loved me. He left me alone. But that's not all he did. He left me with a son. Ever since that other time, I some how have wished you could have known. I kept the secret hid. The secret which I have forbid. What else would I have done. Just love,

A son

Just live

His son!

Just give what I could give and wish that it was you. He had hurt me mentally and took my innocence away... I had a son at the age of 6 and my parents raised him as their own for only 2 months then they died and I had to take care of them all by myself. it's been very hard and I've tried giving him everything I could... I wish I could give him more I really do but there's so much going on and so little money for me but I can't give him everything he wants... I'm very sorry I did not tell you any sooner. I wish you could forgive me. I really do love you and I hope that me having a son won't change anything..."

"...i love you more"

I pull her in comforting her knowing its not her fault. I layed her on the bed and she quickly fell asleep.

"Goodnight my angel may you have the sweetest of dreams."

Bueaty Belle shall forever be safe in the beast's arms.
