"No. Taking a child away from a father who needs her, who never wanted anything but a kind word in his life--you do not think that monstrous?"
*His eyes flashed at the mention of Raoul.*
"He will pay for what he did you to," *Erik said.* "Erik has not killed him--for your sake. But dear god, how I want to."

"I still can't believe it was him...in his right mind, anyway. "
*She hoped there would be no violence that night- especially not to her current protector...*
"I don't want you to kill anyone, and you know that."

"You have so little faith," *Erik almost spat.* "Has Erik killed? Has Erik disrupted your marriage, interfered in any way? No. Because you asked. But you cannot ask him not to love you; that alone is not within his power."

"No- I'm sorry..."
*She looked down*
"I didn't want to hurt anyone, but all I've caused is pain."

*Erik was at her side at an instant, never immune to her sorrow.*
"No, no, Erik did not mean to yell. Forgive him? Tell Erik what he can do, how he can help."
*He was pleading with her, needing some solution to her troubles.*

"I just...I don't know. Do you know where he is- if it was really him?"

"I do," *Erik said darkly.* "And his fate is in your hands, Christine."

"I need to know why he did it."
*She thought for a moment*
"Take me to him."

*Edward stepped forward gingerly. He must still be lightheaded from the bite, he thought. Because... this was stupid.*
"I'm coming," *he said.* "She's not going down there alone."
*He raised his hands.*
"I have no designs on her. I just want to see her safe--like you. But I'll follow if you don't let me come, and I hear that tends to work badly."

*Christine nodded*
"He can come. But I need answers."

*Erik looked hard at Edward, eyes narrowed. He trusted no one, as was his wont. And he hardly needed another puppy tagging along. But Christine seemed firm.
He sighed.*
"Very well. He can come, if my lady wishes it."
*He stalked up close to Edward, who to his credit flinched but didn't back down.*
"You must follow Erik's instructions to the letter. He has no qualms about killing you, you know."
*Edward nodded, and Erik forgot him again, turning to Christine.*
"A carriage awaits. Your husband is at the Opera."
