Surprise
I do not own POTO
Christine kneeled down next to Raoul, crying. He struggled to get free of the noose that held him. He choked out:
''Christine...I'm...so sorry I...got you...into this.''
''Oh Raoul!'' Christine sobbed. Erik stood nearby, his eyes burning into them. Oh, how he loathed that boy. He would...he would do something...something about this. He would do something to that boy that would make Christine forget him. Aha! He knew what he would do!
''Christine...forgive me...please...forgive-''
''Christine, darling, why don't you come over here for a moment?'' Erik asked sweetly from the shadows. Christine stared in his direction.
''I...I don't know.''
''Come here just for a moment.'' he said even sweeter. She stood up, her eyes fixed on him as if in a trance. Erik smirked. He always had that effect on her. She came obeyingly, and in only a second, stood before him. He reached for her hand and quickly flung her into a seperate room.
''Erik!'' she screamed. He quickly locked the door and heard her start to bang her fists against it, after trying the handle. ''Erik, let me out!''
Christine started to sob even harder and she fell to the ground, her face in her hands. She was in there for only a matter of minutes, but she felt as if it were days. Erik opened the door calmly and gestured for her to come out. She slowly stood up, but then ran and jumped through the doorway.
''What have you done to him?!'' she screamed. Erik merely stood and watched as she ran to Raoul.
''I assure you, my dear, he is as alive as ever.''
Raoul's head lay limply forward. Christine gave out another cry and ran to him. She lifted his head up and looked into his eyes. There were visible tears, fresh on his face.
''Raoul...Raoul what has he done to you?'' she whispered. He didn't speak. He merely choked out more tears and started to cry. ''Raoul! Speak to me!''
Christine heard a laugh from the shadows and jerked her head in Erik's direction.
''Yes my dear. Speak. That is indeed the right word.''
Christine slowly turned her head back around and lifted Raoul's head up just slightly more. There were stich marks all over his throat. Christine gave out a blood-curdling scream and dropped his head back down. She threw herself against Erik and almost knocked him off balance.
''WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!'' she shrieked. Erik remained fully composed.
''Well, my dear, first, I just simply made a small incision and cut out his voice box. Then, I sewed it back up and now he's better than ever. I know you'll miss that warm, soft voice to comfort you, but now you still have me.''
With that, Erik threw his head back and laughed. His laugh made Christine's blood freeze and send shivers down her spine.
''You monster!'' she shrieked. She beat her fists against him, but he soon held her arms and pulled her closer to him.
''Now, my dear, why don't you go fix your hair? Our wedding will be starting soon.''
