Chapter 8

Madame Giry went to the bottom of the stairs in the banquet hall. Everyone turned their attention to her, as usual.

“Everyone, everyone.” Said Firmin. “Please give your attention to Madame Giry. She has told her that she has a very important announcement to make.”

I walked down and stood beside her on the stair case. I felt myself shaking, I felt sick, I was so nervous.

“Thank you monsieur,” she said. “Everyone, I have a very important announcement to make! As you all know, Luis Cardiè recently turned himself in for the murders of three different men in the opera house, murders that we accused the phantom of. Well, now that we all know that the phantom is innocent; there is something you all should know. First of all, the phantom is very much… alive.”

Everyone gasped and began to talk to one another nervously, the buzzing conversation echoed through the hall.

“So please everyone, I trust that you will put the past well behind you so that we may allow him to join us tonight. He wants nothing more then to be treated as an equal, nothing more then respect and dignity, and I hope you will all be wise enough to give him that chance.”

“Of course Madame,” said André. “Please, allow him to come forward.”

Madame Giry looked back and motioned for Erik to come forward. He soon appeared at the top of the stairs, his hands at his sides. Everyone in the hall gasped and stared up at him in astonished disbelief.

“I can’t believe it…” Firmin whispered, under his breath.

Erik slowly made his way down the stairs and to the bottom. I held out my hand and took his, pulling him by my side. I looked out among the crowd, their faces white and their jaws dropped open. I thought to myself, “Oh no, this isn’t good…”
But then, Meg came out of the crowd. She walked up to the three of us and stood in front of Erik. She looked at him for a moment, then, to my surprise, smiled at him.

“Bonjour monsieur,” she said, holding her hand out to him. He looked down at it, and then hesitantly took it in his. She shook his hand and greeted him warmly, then looked at me.

“So that’s where you were all week.” She said.

“Yes,” I said, nodding. “That’s where I was all week.”

She smiled again and looked back at Erik.

“Have a good night.” She said, then turned and walked back into the crowd. The music started to play again and people began to talk amongst themselves. Firmin and André came rushing over to us.

“Monsieur, monsieur! How kind of you to come!” Firmin exclaimed.

“Yes sir, of course, you must be so relieved to, um, well, finally be out.”

“Out of the cage you imprisoned me in? yes, I am.”

“Well, I suppose we deserved that quite a bit. Anyway, we have a business proposition for you.”

“Do you?”

“Yes, we would like to share management with you monsieur… uh…”

“Erik.” I said. they looked at me, then down at my arm, which was linked with his.

“Are… are you two…”

“Yes.” I said, cutting him off. I didn’t want him going into further detail.

“Alright then, Erik, come with us so that we may discuss this.”

Erik looked at me, as If I was supposed to make his decision for him. I smiled at him and nodded, then kissed him.

“Go on.” I said. “I’ll have plenty to keep me occupied.”

He smiled lightly at me and then walked off with the two of them. They got him champagne and they began a long discussion. People began walking up to him, asking him questions, and even getting some smiles out of him. I was so amazed at the sudden transformation that the people of France had suddenly experienced.
I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Meg and some of the other chorus girls standing around me with hopeful smiles.

“Is it true?” one of them asked me.

“What?”

“That you and the phantom are in love?”

“That you have been down in his lair for a whole week?”

“That you’ve seen him without his mask?”

I smiled at their wonder and amusment with my fairy tale love story.

“Yes, yes, and yes. Those are all true.”

“Really?”

“Yes, why?”

“Well, don’t take this the wrong way but he seems like the kind of person that wouldn’t really fall in love.”

“Well, maybe that’s because no one ever gave him a chance before.”

“Well,” said Meg. “Have you two…”

“What?” I asked curiously.

Meg made a face and the other girls laughed. That’s when it hit me that they were referring to mine and Erik’s sex life. I blushed and laughed a bit. They all started to giggle and squeal.

“What was it like?” one of them asked.

I paused for a moment and smiled lightly.

“It was the most amazing, beautiful, and incredible experience of my life.” I said. “Excuse me.”

I smiled and walked off, leaving them to their girlish banter, I walked up to Erik and he smiled at me.

“What are you gentlemen talking about?”

“Erik just decided to join us in management.” Firmin said, lifting his glass.

I smiled at him and then at Erik. He looked so happy to be free, to feel equal, I was so overcome with joy.

“You’re cousin should be so pleased to see that we finally got that extra help.” Said André. Firmin nudged him with his elbow, to get him to stop talking. The smiles on Erik’s and my face faded. I cleared my throat uncomfortably and then gave them a weak smile.

“Well, gentlemen, thank you for a lovely night but Erik and I have some private matters to attend to.”

They nodded, and the two of us walked up the stairs and into the hall. I stopped him and looked into his eyes.

“Are you okay?”

“Of course I am. I just wasn’t entirely prepared for all of this.”

I smiled at him. I loved it when he showed his more sensitive side. He almost seemed like a young child at times, but he wasn’t. He was a man, a handsome, strong, loving man and I loved him for it. I took him by the hand and led him to my dormitory.
I closed the door behind us and kissed him deeply and passionately. I pushed him back and he fell onto my bed. I turned around and let him untie my dress and corset. I removed his clothing as well and then sat on his lap while he still sat on the edge of the bed. I looked deeply into his eyes and he held me close to him. I smiled at him and laughed.

“We need to find another hobby.” I said. He smiled at me and we laughed together. I think that was the first time I ever really heard him laugh. His laugh was deep and warm, really very beautiful. I was so in love with him and I think it truly happened that night. We simply sat there in each others arms, he traced kisses across my shoulders, neck and chest. He kissed my lips, cheeks, forehead and eyes. no one had ever kissed my eyes before, but it was the perfect thing, and it brought tears to my eyes. they rolled down my cheek and onto his.

“What’s wrong?”

“I love you so much Erik, I’m just so happy that you finally feel equal.”

He touched a hand to my cheek and smiled at me, brushing the tears from my face.

“I felt that way as soon as I met you…” he said. I smiled at him and kissed his forehead.

That night, we just lay in the bed of my dormitory for hours. I lay in his arms while we both were beneath the sheets. I looked at him at one point and kissed him on the cheek. I rose up about five inches between our faces and kissed his lips.

“Erik?” I said.

“Yes?”

“Will you… sing for me?”

He paused for a moment and then rolled over. He was now on top of me, looking deeply into my eyes. I wrapped my arms around his neck and let him slip his under my back. He rested his head on my chest and I held his head there, running my fingers through his hair. He began to sing to me the most beautiful song I had ever heard. His voice was indescribable. There were no words left in my body when he started to sing. I felt like he had complete control over me, his voice wrapping around me like chains. When he was finished I was absolutely blown away. He didn’t look up at me, but just hugged me tighter. I ran my hands from his head down his back and kissed the top of his head.

“Make love to me Erik.”

He did as I asked, but this time it was different. It felt so free. There were a million people near us behind that door, and we didn’t even care.
When we finished I fell asleep in the bed. I woke up later to find him no longer in the room, but Meg there in her bed instead, reading a book by candle light. She looked at me and smiled.

“Have a good rest?” she asked. I smiled at her and rubbed my eyes.

“Where is he?”

“Oh, he’s down stairs at the party. The chorus girls aren’t allowed to stay out at those things past nine o’clock, even though they go on until about one in the morning. He told me to let you sleep, he said you were very tired. I think I know why now.”

I laughed and got out of the bed. Erik had put me into one of my nightgowns for me.

“So, I take it I won’t be able to go get him.”

She shook her head.

“Normally no, but I think they’ll make an exception for you.”

I smiled at her and then put on a dress. A simple dress that I could go out in and come back quick. I ran out the door and down the stairs into the hall. There were so many people there, but he wasn’t hard to find. So many people were around him. I walked in and took his arm. He saw me and smiled.

“What are you doing?”

“I came to get you.”

“I thought you were asleep.”

“I was, but I woke up.”

He smiled at me and excused himself from the group. We walked over to the stairs.

“You didn’t have to leave me you know.” I said jokingly.

He frowned at me and hung his head.

“I’m sorry. I… I don’t want to hurt you.”

“No, no, no, Erik. Don’t worry; I was only fooling with you. I want you to mingle with the people.”

He smiled at me and then kissed me.

“I’ll be up in my room.” I told him and then left.
