Angel or Phantom? (book 1 of the phangel series)

Chapter 15 - Warm, Unspoken, Secrets

SO IM PRETTY SURE ALL OF YOU HATE ME RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVENT UPDATED IN SO LONG. IM. SO. SORRY. PHANGELS. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

Zoe's POV
What the hell is Erik doing here? He's suppose to be with Christine. I wonder if he's proposed to her yet. Oh never mind all that I have to find out why he's still here. "Erik how did you get here?"
Erik looks at me with confusion. "Well I just got up and walked here. How do you think I got here?" He was obviously pissed. I wasn't in the mood for his childish games right now. If Raoul managed to kidnap Erik then I can't imagine what he will do to Christine. "Erik Raoul told me that he was going to kill Christine if I didn't come with him. I'm not stupid but I planned to put a stop to him so I played along and I followed him. My plan is working so far but you need to be focused and you need to stick next to me." Erik smirked at me and said "Being stealthy is my specialty"

Raouls POV

Christine has gone limp. It's so refreshing to have her in my arms again. She's so stupid. Why would she trust me again. Haha now to take care of the hellspawn demon. I carry Christine to the same building that he is in but I put her into a different room. I can't risk them conspiring against me if they are together. If Zoe fails at her job then this whole thing goes down the drain. I set Christine down on the floor and look over her "Christine this is why you obey your husband." Something's off though. In the back of my mind I don't want to do this. I feel a twinge of guilt but I rub it off. Now to find Zoe to see if she took care of Erik.

Eriks POV
Zoe is leading me through dark twists and turns. It reminds me of my old home back at the Opera house. Wait. Opera house. Opera. Singing. Music. Angel. CHRISTINE. I swear if Raoul so much as thinks of her I'll kill him. I thought I made it very clear to him last time we met that he was not to ever come near us again. I have my suspicions that this is his doing. I know I have a lot of enemies but how many of them know where I live? Exactly. If he's smart he'll give her up immediately and beg for forgiveness. Not that I intend to bestow any upon his minuscule brain of his. If one hair on Christine's head is out of place he'll be sorry. Zoe leads me through some more dark tunnels and I find myself standing in barn with horses surrounding me. "Mount a horse Erik"
"Where are we going?"
"To get my sister and your girlfriend back."
"We're engaged now."
"Since when" Zoe says with a look of surprise. I respond to her shock with "since last night now let's hurry."
I mount the jet black horse an proceed to ride off in search of my beautiful fiancée.

Christine's POV
I knew I shouldn't have trusted him!!!
Now because of how naive I am, I'm stuck in this dark cold room with no food or water. I don't know how long I was asleep or how long I've been in here. Lord knows what day it is and if Erik will even find me. Stop Christine Erik will do everything to find you. He loves you with all his heart and he would die for you. Ok. I'm calm. Now I have to figure out what to do now. There's a door to in the front of the room and then everything else is stone. This room looks familiar though. There's a small light hanging from the ceiling so I can see what the room generally looks like. I feel like I've seen it before. I don't remember being in here but maybe I've seen it before somewhere. I shuffle around and find a stone on the wall that pushes inwards. Naturally curiosity got the best of me and I pushed it in. Next I saw more lights appear and I could see every detail of the room. I knew exactly where I was. I had watched this room be built. I was in one of Eriks torture chambers. I knew this place inside and out. I'm assuming Raoul thinks he knows how to work it. How did he find this one though. It's in a place that no one would ever dare to look. It was in Eriks personal closet in the lair. The fact that Raoul found it amazes me. I know this place inside and out. Erik built this place with a couple of escape routes that only one who knew where they were could find them just in case one of us were to be trapped in here. Fortunately I know all of them. I get to work punching in the right stone sequence which would open a door leading to our bedroom. When the secret door opens I quietly escape and pick up a knife I found on the dresser assuming it was Raouls since Erik and I don't keep sharp or any dangerous objects out in the open. I creep into the living room to find Raoul drinking in the kitchen. I hide so he doesn't see me. I pop out of I my hiding spot quickly to see if he's still there. I don't see him so I start creeping towards the lake. Suddenly I'm grabbed by the shoulders and I see Raoul. He pushes me down and stands over me. "So we're trying to escape are we"?
I stare at him dead in the face and say
"You're not worth my time. I hate you."
Raoul gets mad and starts undoing his pants "let me teach you a thing or two about respect"
