Erik and Rosealie |
Chapter 2 Rosealie awoke from a dreamless sleep to hear the sound of music being played. As she sat up in the bed she began to listen and it was almost as soft as a lulliby. She slowly slipt out of the bed and followed the sound of the beautiful music and found hwere it was comeing from. Erik was sitting a a very large organ playing with his eyes closed and his head swaying back and forth with the music. Rosealie slowly approached him careful not to disturb him and just watched in amezement as he continued to play. When he was finished Erik opened his eyes and was suprised when he found the girl standing near him just stareing at him. "How long have you been standing there?" When Rosealie found her voice again she answerd. "Only a few moments you play so beautifully." "Thank you. Would you like something to eat?" "No thank you. What were you playing?" Rosealie wanted to know who this man was and why he wore a mask. "It is called Music of The Night. I wrote it for um thats not important. Im sorry if i woke you I just needed to let some fustration out." Rosealie sat next to him on the bench "Its fine you didn't wake me. May I ask you a question?" Erik knew what her question was but he figured he let her ask anyway."Yes what is it?" Rosealie began to play with her fingers and looked down at her feet when she asked "do you have a bathroom and something else i might be able to change into?" Erik sighed in relief and laughed a little. "Yes I do would you like to wash up? I will run the bath for you." Erik got up from the bench and gave Rosealie his hand which she accepted as he helped her up and led her to the bathroom and left her for a moment and returned with a simple white nightgown and some towels. Erik walked past Rosealie and placed the towels and nightgown on a small table near the tub as he ran the water until it was hot he then turned around and went to leave. " Do you need anything else Rosealie?" Rosealie followed him to the door " No thank you. You are a savior for saveing me thank you. But can I ask you of one small thing." "yes." "Please just call me Rose it's much more simple." She said and smiled. Erik smiled slightly and went to leave the room " As you wish Rose." He closed the door behind him. And walked twords his organ and sat down at the bench. How can he possibly begin playing again? He played before but he was in a different world. A world full of memories od Christine. Erik began to compose new music it was the only thing that always keapt him saine. As Rose got into the bathtub she could hear him playing beautiful music. And as she listend she slipt under the water and began to wash away the horrible memories of her past. |
