Christine spoke softly to Erik. "You should try to sleep again. If you have nightmares again, try to wake yourself up, or think of something that might make them go away." she said.

[Sakwa]

*Erik nodded, he knew though that as long as he felt trapped and weak and helpless the nightmares would come. Slowly he drifted off to sleep.*

[*Musical~Soul*]

Christine sighed quietly, hoping that this time Erik would have a more peaceful sleep. "You know Raoul, you really should be kinder to him! He doesn't deserve half of the evil things you said to him! Or any of them, for that matter!" She carefully untwined her and Erik's fingers and let him sleep.

[Sakwa]

*Erik didn't stir, his sleep for now deep enough that he wouldn't get disturbed by his dreams. His subconcious mind was barely awake and his normally sharper concious mind was asleep.*

[*Musical~Soul*]

Raoul didn't answer. He stared out the window looking serious. How could she defend that man? He'd tried to kill him twice already! Then he noticed Christine letting go of Erik's hand. Raoul was disgusted, he turned and glared out the window again.

[Sakwa]

(CHILD!)

*Erik was safe from his dreams as long as he kept his sleep deep, where his subconcious mind would be barely awake to really feel anything.*

[*Musical~Soul*]

(duh! lol)

Raoul thought, 'Why can't we just make him leave right now? It would make things a whole lot easier, but no! Christine wouldn't allow it!'

[Sakwa]

(BABY!!)

*Erik muttered something under his breath as he partially slipped from his secure dark dreamless sleep*

[*Musical~Soul*]

(LOL)

Christine looked at Erik in conern, hoping he wasn't having more nightmares...he'd had enough of those.

[Sakwa]

*Erik just managed to get himself back to almost unconciousness where neither his concious or subconcious mind were active enough to feel anything, where he was safe from his nightmares*

[*Musical~Soul*]

Christine allowed herself to fall asleep as well, leaning her head against Erik's shoulder. Raoul saw his opportunity to get Christine away from Erik. So when he was sure they both were asleep, Raoul went over and carried Christine to his side of the carriage, making a point to elbow Erik sharply in the arm where he was stabbed.

[Sakwa]

*Erik gave a soft whimper as he was roused out of the deeper dreamless sleep to that less secure lighter sleep. There his nightmares caught up with him, worst then last time, a lot worst*

[*Musical~Soul*]

Christine stirred slightly as she felt herself being drawn away from something. She unconciously felt around for Erik's hand, and felt someone take hers. Raoul had seen Christine feel for Erik's hand to hold, so he took hers, hoping she wouldn't notice the difference.

[Sakwa]

*Erik cried out in his sleep, scared. He was starting to feel trapped again, he gave a harsh cough. He couldn't wake up...he felt like he was burning....burning in his own music*

[*Musical~Soul*]

Christine's eyes opened suddenly when Erik cried out. Suddenly she wasn't next to him anymore. She gave Raoul a sharp look before rushing over to Erik. She felt his forehead, careful not to touch his mask. He was quite warm.
