Chapter Fifteen
�You don�t mean that Christine.� He said. She stepped closer to him.
�I hate you Josh. You hurt Erik. I don�t love you! I love Erik! Now please, just take me to him�� She had tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. He looked at her, raised his eyebrows, and then grabbed her arm. She gasped as his strong arm pulled her through a corridor, and they made a left and were in a small, dusty room. Josh had been in the room before, and had put one of the tabletop candelabras on the floor. His left hand was still around her thin wrist as he lit the five candles. He nodded to the back of the small room, and to Christine�s horror. She saw Erik there, still badly injured. Josh most likely hurt him even more by dragging him into this room.
�See your pathetic lover, Christine? See him? He�ll die. And then, you won�t be able to be with him. If he doesn�t die tonight, then I will kill him. That�s a promise Christine.� She couldn�t contain her brave stance anymore, and she collapsed to the ground. She began sobbing, and she could barely hear Erik telling her to leave. Josh knelt down in front of the young girl, and touched her chin, tilting her head up.
�Hush Christine. It�s all right, just don�t watch all right? Then, you won�t ever have to feel sorry for him or keep him company again.� She watched as he stood up, and he took the gun out again. He pointed it toward Erik�s limp body. Her eyes widened as he put his finger on the trigger. Christine suddenly ran to Erik, and threw herself in front of his body, just as Josh fired the revolver. The bullet hit Christine�s body, and she fell backwards, landing in Erik�s lap. Blood began to seep through to her gown, and Erik pulled her close to him. He was full of shock. Josh dropped the weapon to the floor. He sneered at Erik, who kissed Christine�s cheek.
�Christine, Christine�.be okay�..please��.I love you.� He whispered helplessly to her. Christine moaned, and murmured something.
�That�s what you get Christine for trying to save this�...this freak!� He ran out the doorway. Erik was too distraught over Christine to worry about what Josh was doing.
�Christine��he�s gone. Please, be okay. I love you Christine.� Her eyelids flickered, and she touched the wound on her stomach. Blood stained her hands, and Erik pulled her hands away from her dress. She looked up at Erik.
�Erik��� She said in a horse whispered. Tears fell from her blue eyes, and Erik could feel his own eyes filling with tears. �Erik�...I love you and��.I always will��
�I love you, Christine. You�ll be okay�You will. I can get you out of here I�...� She shook her head slightly. �No, no..�don�t be like that�..its okay��
�Erik��She barely whispered. �Can you�..just sing..�sing�...please� He wasn�t sure what else he could do, so he sang a song he had written before Christine had confessed her love for him.
�Nothing more than a girl, yet one that has such a great hold on my heart�
no one can love u as much as I can, I�ve loved you from the start, I will love you forever�. no matter how many times you break my heart�..� He stopped. She was still breathing and kissed her forehead as he whispered, �I love you Christine.� She said softly back �I love you too�...� And he held her, and sang once again to his beautiful Angel��.
