Erik sat in the ballroom as he went to the piano and started to play his lastest song he had written while thinking about death and Christine. He didn't wish to let her be taken away from him again as his anger was there and it was in his eyes. He then looked around as he kept playing the song with out even paying attention that somone else was there with him now. He had died like everyone else in this house and that botherd him slightly but it also gave him a chance to show why people used to fear him in the first place really.
He then looked to the side as he saw somone standing there and stopped the song as he saw who it was. He didn't speak her name just yet as he wasn't sure she was really there since they hadn't met since he had seen her with Edward. He then sighed slightly as he still watched her with a slight smile not knowing what to say really.

While she was upstairs near the library, she placed the book of Romeo & Juliet, though she really wanted to read it once more. But she will read it the next night. For this night was special. Then Christine heard music. Beautiful music. It was somewhat of a lullaby. Christine placed the book back on the shelf, in its original spot. Then she traveled down the long hallway and down the stairs.
The place where they, usually have balls and other special events. Christine, kept going down the staircase, and through the other hallways, there she found someone playing the Piano. It was one of Edward's but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if someone was playing his piano. Christine, looked about and then walked in slowly... The music that was playing was beautiful. Thankfully when she entered, she saw Erik. "Oh...Its you" she said softly. "I thought it Edward would be in here. But he has disappeared, as usual. Probably somewhere, and didn't tell me where he went. Its fine it doesn't matter thought" she said moving slightly over to the piano. Christine smiled up at him and said. "How are you?" she asked. "I know its been pretty hectic lately. Hasn't it. " she said to him softly.

Erik looked at her and smiled as he saw her move closer to him and he stopped playing for a moment. He then heard her speak of Edward as he sighed to this slightly. "That is was my dear.so many living people coming in and out of this place and I don't care where he is as I have you here with me now my sweet Angel of music! Why did you leave me? I loved you and still do my dear" he then waited for her to answer as he sighed again.
He went back to playing on the piano as he sighed and hoped that she would be by his side this time as he loved her so very much. He never wished to loose her again as she was the first person to ever see his true face and not run away.

"I didn't mean to leave you Erik. I had to flee from Paris, and from Raoul. He was abusing me, after i left you. I have the marks to show you. But their gone now. " she said with a smile. Christine hated her passed life, with Raoul. He had too much to drink on their wedding night. Christine looked about, the room then back at him. "Then I arrived here, and Master Gracey had found me. In the streets, alone. Singing for money" she said to him. "He brought me in, and they treated me kindly" she said him.
The song Erik was playing on the Piano was a song, she knew very well. Very well indeed. Smiling, she hummed it a bit. "Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye" she said to herself, half singing and half humming. Christine always loved singing. There were times where she was caught dancing in the ballroom as well dancing, when no one was there. Also by Master Gracey or some of the servants that walked about in here. "Erik" she said again. Then she looked at him. "Do you know how I died? I don't remember how i died... Strange i know. People should know how they died, but I don't know" she said softly. Looking down now. Thinking how it happened and when it happened.

He looked at her and sighed to this slightly as he listened to what she had to say and knew that Raoul would do such a thing in the end,that is wht he wanted her to stay so that he could treat her the way she was meant to be treated. He then thought about her question as he sighed slightly to this. "my dear christine I beleive you as he never was a good enough man for you and i'm glad they took you in but no,I don't know how you died just like I can't remember how I died..it's a mercy really I guess! I do love to hear you hum those songs again my sweet angel"
Erik then sighed again as he kept playing the music and watched her knowing that the other ghosts were in the house some place most likely living out thier days like they did when they were alive...always in a none stop loop! He wished to leave this place one day but he wasn't sure that would ever be possible for any of them any more.

"The reason why I left Raoul, was because I thought he would have been a good husband. He was a good husband in the beginning. But, then again." she said softly speaking to him. Hoping not to wake Edward. Where ever the cruel man maybe. "I don't like this place Erik" she said to him. "Dunno what to do in here. I've almost read every single book in this house!" she said to him a moment later.
It was again beautifully well written. Closing her eyes, she sighed, and listened to him play. Though Edward was very good at playing the Piano. But she was used to Erik's piano playing. "Did you write this one yourself?" she asked curiously. Christine opened her eyes, again and looked at him.

He looked at her and sighed to this as he kept playing and knew that he felt the same way really and just wanted to leave though he wasn't sure how they got stuck in this place any way...either that or he couldn't remember now because he was dead. "I feel the same my dear and no matter where he is he can't hurt you any more as we are both dead after all! I don't know why we are stuck here but i hope there is a way out as this place is like a cage to me and I don't like it"
He then kept playing as he sighed slightly and watched her once more "Yes i did as it's my new one my sweet angel...the only thing that keeps me going is the htought that you are here as well and i'm no longer alone! I don't care much for any of the others and will do what I must to have you with me again! I love you soo much my angel and that will never change" he then sighed again as he faced her once more his face sgowing sorrow and regret.

Christine really wanted to know how she died. No one knows how all of them died. She knew from the stories he had told her in her lifetime, that he hanged himself, because he loved a someone very much. Blinking coming back into reality, she looked at Erik and smiled. "I hated Raoul that day.He hurt me terribly " she said to him.
"Its beautiful" she said to him. "What is it called?" Christine moved behind Erik and tried to read some of the title. It seemed to be scribbled, but she didn't mind. "Is it for me to sing? or are you just composing as usual" she asked curiously. Christine really wanted to sing again. That part she had missed since her death. Christine looked around then back at him. Wondering when Edward would ever wake. She certainly hoped he didn't for he frightened her at times.

He then looked at her and sighed slightly as he still played the music and as she asked this he smiled a bit to that thought as he had missed her singing very much over the years of being in this place.
"It is for me but I would love for you to sing it as I have missed watching you sing my dear angel! We have done much in this god forsaken place but never that and it would be nice to hear you once more"
He then showed her the words he wrote to the song and smiled as he knew that she would love to sing it like old times really. He hoped that she would come back to him as he loved her still so very much.

The music was still playing. Humming the lightly tune that was echoing throughout the first floor, she closed her eyes. Christine, missed singing his music. It has been a long time for them both. This would have been the only time, for her to sing, her heart out, and to him. Considering, that Edward was out and a bout probably by now. She looked at Erik as he began to speak to her.
"I would like to sing it. I hope you don't mind Erik" she announced to him. "It...sounds very beautiful as always. All of the work you have created lately and in the past, were always beautiful. The words, everything" she said smiling at him. Then he passed her a sheet of music with the words on it.
Christine, looked at him and asked if he may start the music again so she could sing. He began playing again, and Christine started to sing. She also tried to lower her voice a bit, so no one can hear them rehearsing. Then she stopped singing. "I need to work on my voice for a while." she said laughing a bit. "Its been a while since I had to sing that high Erik" she said again.
