*Poe smiled and nodded.*
"Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate your indulgence."
*She kissed him gently.*
"And I have enjoyed our time together very much, Erik. I hope that things will be well with you until I am able to see you again."

"I have not that hope. But Erik thanks you."
*He bowed stiffly, and kissed her hand as he had seen men do in opera, before opening the door for her.*

*Poe bowed her head in acknowledgment of his gesture. Then she slipped out into the hall.*
That was much more interesting than I expected. At least now I have another human male. That should help in my Collections.

*Erik sighed as he closed the door, activated a secret panel, and disappeared back into the darkness that was his home.*

***NEW DAY***
*Poe returned to the same room, hoping to find Erik once again. Something was wrong. Very wrong. She paced the room and studied her appearance in the long mirror. She focused hard on trying to look like him, but no matter how she strained, he didn't come out right. He only looked half-finished, more like a human skeleton with skin. She couldn't even get his nose to turn out at all. It made her very worried indeed. Perhaps with another session of study, she could get the information she needed to finish the transformation.*

*The alarm for his favorite abandoned dressing room sounded, and Erik slid silently up to see if the occupant was someone he wished to encounter. It was a clever system, if he said so himself. He wondered if Poe had perhaps returned to recommence their sexual congress; it was the last use to which he'd put the room, and stood out in his mind.
But when he reached the mirror, for a moment he thought it was reflecting him.
As he used to be. As he was clearly meant to be, and reverted, and it wasn't fair, for he hadn't convinced Christine she loved him yet, and he needed time, just a little more time, it couldn't be taken all away so soon--
But as he slid down the wall an the figure did not follow him, he let out a load moan he could not cover. Either he hallucinated, or a demon had come to torment him in his old for.*

*Upon hearing the strange noise, Poe looked up in surprise and her shape flickered, coming back to her Primary Human Female. She wandered closer to the mirror, looking for the source of the sound.*

*Erik gasped again at the sight of Poe, and in his anguish he fairly fell through the mirror into her arms. It had been an illusion, certainly! Thank heaven! He had not seen what he'd thought; but what had brought it on.*
"Poe! Pardon me, mademoiselle; I forget myself. It is... good to see you."

*Poe looked slightly less shocked than a normal person would in such a situation, but she was surprised nonetheless.*
"Sir, I am pleased to see you again as well. I..."
*She smiled warmly, touching his chest.*
"I find that I have desire for further congress with you if you are amicable."

"Oh! Er..." *He could not get the horrible image from his mind. Had he avoided mirrors for decades only to find he had near-perfect recall of his features?*
"Erik would like that. Very much," *he said.* "But tell me... There was not someone else here before, was there? Before you entered?"

*Poe tilted her head in her customary curiosity.*
"I am sorry, sir, but I saw no one enter or leave before I arrived."
*She looked about the room.*
"Am I not supposed to be here? Is the room previously occupied?"

"No, no," *he hastened to assure her.* "I mere thought I saw... But no, he is long gone. I must have imagined him."

*Poe blinked at him, very interested.*
"Who sir? Perhaps if you were to describe him, I might recollect his presence."
Perhaps he doesn't look like normal humans.

*Erik felt stupid. He knew he'd only imagined it... But it had shaken him quite a bit. He certainly did not feel like sexual congress with anyone just at the moment.*
"He... he is built like me, but with a face... You would remember if you'd seen it, Mademoiselle. For it is a horror to look upon. Forgive me; I do not mean to frighten you with such tales. I... knew him, once, and I am certain only imagined him here now."

*Poe looked confused but smiled.*
"Can you be more specific, sir? I am very good with faces. If I have seen him, I would be able to tell you. I just...I am not often frightened. I am not sure what you mean."
