I do not own Phantom of the Opera!!

She slowly opened the door as if she were nervous, and walked across the room to my desk, looking down at nothing in particular. I noticed she was wearing different clothes and how her hands were tremulous at her sides. "Yes, sir...? Y-you wanted something?" I stood up to properly greet her. Elyza did not look at me as she spoke. I assumed it was because she was frightened of me, as they all were.. Which made my heart ache a little. I don't know why I expected differently. They're all the same, I thought bitterly, every last, single one of them. That makes my task even more difficult. I braced myself for her reaction and I said quietly, my voice wavering slightly, "could you please.. e-er, take off my mask? I just need to know something." She looked up at me with her wide, green eyes. "It will not be an... Appealing sight and I apologise but..." Elyza hesitantly nodded and raised a shaky hand to the right side of my face and removed the porcelain mask..

I know that's not an Erik-y thing to ask, but you'll see why in tomorrow's chapter. ;)
