Chapter 9
The next few of days went by splendidly. People were so open to Erik and kind. I was really amazed. The problem was, no one had been able to reach Raoul. He and Christine considered be home their honeymoon and rufused to be bothered my any outside news.
Then, about a week after the party, my life changed dramatically. I had been outside in the lobby, talking to André and Firmin about the recent Gala, when I heard the two front doors burst open.
“Amelia!” I heard someone call out.
I then turned around, and dropped my jaw, to see Raoul and Christine coming towards me.
“Raoul!” I said, then ran to him and hugged him tight. “Oh Raoul! I missed you!”
He laughed and hugged me back. Christine smiled lightly at me and then cleared her throat.
“Miss Daaè?” Firmin asked. “Oh my, you look ravishing!”
“Thank you monsieur.” She said quietly.
“So, gentlemen, how is everything, I trust you have found another manager during my absence?”
The two of them swallowed hard and looked at each other in shock.
“You… you mean you don’t know?”
“Know what?” he asked, still smiling.
“Well Raoul, a lot has changed since you’ve been gone.” I said.
“Like what?”
That’s when we all heard Erik’s voice echo though the room.
“Amelia? I need to…” then he stopped. He stood at the top of the stairs, staring down in shock. Raoul and Christine stood frozen in fear. Raoul looked at all of us in anger.
“What the hell is going on here?” he asked me.
Erik then began to slowly descend the stairs until he got the bottom. He walked towards us and folded his hands behind his back.
“Monsieur De Chagney…” he said. “Good evening.”
“Raoul,” I said. “We tried everyway possible to get the news to you but we couldn’t get a hold of you in anyway. I’m sorry…”
“Sorry? You’re sorry? You’re letting a murderer run my opera house!”
“He’s not a murderer.” Said Madame Giry. “He was proven innocent over a week ago.”
Christine looked as if she just would fall to pieces, her eyes focused on Erik and never leaving.
“Raoul, there’s something else I need to tell you.” I said to him. He looked at me in such disappointment.
“Amelia, my sweet Amelia. What else could possibly be happening?”
“Please don’t be angry Raoul…”
“Angry? Angry does not even begin to describe how I am feeling right now! You’ve all been brainwashed into believing he’s some sort of a saint, but he’s not! He’s a monster! He’s a hideous, evil monster and…”
That’s when something inside of me snapped. I don’t know where it came from, but I smacked Raoul across the face harder then I had ever hit anyone or anything in my life. He stumbled to floor and looked up at me in utter shock, as did everyone else.
“Don’t you ever, ever say anything like that about him again! I swear to god Raoul I will kill you if you ever say anything like that again, ever!”
Raoul covered his cheek with his hand, covering the large red welt on his face from my slap. I then, felt tears begin to run down my face, so I turned to Erik and grabbed his arm. I pulled him away out of that room and up the stairs out of site.
In the hallway of the dormitories, I fell to the floor and began to cry. He knelt beside me and I hugged him close to me.
“Oh, Erik! I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry for what he said, I had no idea he could be so cruel!” I continued to cry and he held me tight. when I pulled away, he had a light smile on his face.
“Shhhhhh…” he said, holding my hand. “No one has ever done that for me. I didn’t think it was possible to love you anymore then I did before, but I now know I was wrong.”
I smiled and laughed at him within my crying and he kissed my forehead.
“I love you so much Erik.” I said, holding his hands in mine. then he pulled me up off of the ground. We heard something coming toward us and we turned to see Raoul. He pushed Erik aside, very hard.
“Stay the hell away from her!”
“Stop Raoul!” I yelled at him, blocking his way to Erik.
“Amelia! You don’t know this man! You may think you do but you don’t! You just don’t!”
“Raoul just stop it!”
“I will not just sit back and watch you become a part of his plan!”
“I Love him!”
Raoul stopped talking, his jaw dropped slightly. He looked at me, then to Erik, and back to me again.
“I love him Raoul…”
He looked at Erik in utter fury.
“You stole her innocence! You bastard! You stole her innocence! She’s only a young girl and you stole her innocence!”
“I let him Raoul! It was my doing, not his! I wanted to do it, and I wanted to be with him, and I still do and always will! There is nothing you can say or do that will ever change that Raoul! I love him and I always will! If you love me the way you say you do then you’ll accept it!”
He looked at me as if I had slapped him in the face again.
“You’re supposed to be my best friend Raoul. How can you abandon me when I need you the most?” Erik came from behind me and took my hand. he pulled me away down the hall into my dormitory and we left Raoul standing there in the Hall.
