*When Shadi grabbed Rivers hand, she somehow felt better. Her little sister gave her the courage to try and get out of this sticky situation.*
"River does!"
*She shouted back as she gave Shadi and Peter a assuring wink.*

*Erik stared at the girl, his glowing eyes the only visible feature in his backlit silhouette.* "River," *he muttered. What curious names these interlopers all had, recently. And why did everyone know where he lived, suddenly?
He moved aside, so that the light fell on the three in front of him. Mere children. His murderous rage abated a little. He did not like to kill children. He would if he had to, but... he seemed to recall being a child once. Things had hurt so much more, then.*
"Well, River, what brings you here? This is a very dangerous place for young bodies of water. Or don't you know who I am?"

Peter grinned at the phantom and crossed his arms. Peter settled down on a rock and chuckled to himself, this man reminded him of hook only not quite so bad. "we know who you are, and that's why we're here."
Tinkerbell darted up towards the ceiling of the cave and watched from a safe distance.

"We're on an adventure, sir."
*River added to Peters spirited words as she squinted her eyes to better observe the ghost. He looked dead and old, just like in the stories.*
"We meant no harm, we just wanted to see you. The Ghost. But you don't look like a ghost and I know, I've seen one. She was nice."

*The torrent of words, and more importantly the lack of fear they displayed, made Erik very confused. He leaped forward, grabbed the dark girl in the middle, and raised her by the front of her shirt.*
"No one visits Erik and lives," *he snarled, as the girl dangled helplessly, unable to reach her knife.* "Why would I live here, if I wanted visitors? No, you are worse than that Persian imp, with longer noses and longer tongues."
((Chose Shadi because she's least likely to kick his ass, not having any special powers.))

*Shadi squirmed, unable to get free. Air was slowly being choked out of her, but she'd heard something in Erik's words that gave her pause.*
"Per... Persian," *she got out, before running out of breath.

*River jumped up and stared at Erik with fear in her eyes.*
"Lil' sis is the Persians daughter. And she's my sister. We'll both be upset if you hurt her, may even shed some tears."
"But you won't hurt us. It isn't polite. You are going to act like a real ghost!"

*Erik dropped the girl unceremoniously.* "The Persian's... daroga's daughter?" *He stared at the girl until she stopped coughing and glared at him, thus solidifying the resemblance.* "He has a daughter? Are you his too, then, to call yourself her sister?"
*He rose to his full height, towering over them.*
"I AM NOT POLITE!"

*When the mean man had let go of her sister River had crouched down beside her, once again holding her hand.*
"Tss, I'm not his child."
*River shivered as Erik yelled at them.*
"Well, then you are a lousy Ghost!"

"I am a fantastic ghost," *Erik informed her.* "I haunt, I extort, I make divas sound like toads! I am a genius, and you know nothing about it. You've seen me, child, and no one sees me and lives. Except for Christine, of course. And Nadir. And that... Gerik fop. And-- Nevermind. I will not kill the issue of my old friend. But you? Erik has no such compunction. Why should I let you live?"

Peter watched the whole situation with a sence of pleasure in the unfolding adventure. "because if you don't, then I'll be forced to kill you." Peter grined at the Phantom and awaited his reply.

*River stared at Peter like he was a knight in shining armor.*

Peter grinned at River his eyes sparkling. Peter put his fist on his hips and stood in a heroic sort of way as he stared back at the phantom.

*Erik waggled his head at the boy.* "Foolish child, if I kill you, you will not be able to kill me. Erik has suffered far worse than that puny knife you call a weapon. You are very brave, if very stupid," *he mused.* "Pampin soiled himself just upon seeing the ratcatcher. I don't suppose it would help for me to yell at you more?"
*The girl in the middle, Nadir's daughter, stood up straight.*
"No," *she said, and her defiance was as great as the other two.* "For one thing, my father would be very, very angry. And you haven't killed him yet, even though he's the most annoying person ever. And I give him a headache." *She walked up and thumped Erik on the chest.* "If I'm a match for him, I'm certainly a match for you."
((This is awesome, guys. Badphic city!))

Peter chuckled slightly at the phantom's comments. his smile grew wider as he watched Shadi. "I don't think you're a match for all three of us." Peter's eyes sparkled with a thought, "But you're welcome to try."
