"And as usual, I go willingly," Christine said, smiling.

Raoul slowly opened the door, to find Christine's room empty, and rushing over to Erik's room, which was empty as wel.

[Sakwa]

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Erik replied softly.

He gently kissed Christines neck.

[*Musical~Soul*]

"It wouldn't ever be any other way," Christine smiled, "I'd go anywhere with you."

Raoul began to panic and started frantically searching the whole house. It was empty.

[Sakwa]

"I wonder what he'll think when he finds you're gone," Erik said softly, smiling again.

His thoughts drifted back to the first time he'd heard and seen Christine. He smiled at the thought. Madame Giry had come down to him one day - come down into the dark domain he held beneath the Opera House. She'd told him all about the girl who'd lost her father, and had told her the fathers dieing words. She knew of his love of Music, and although it took him a while to work out why she'd told him, it had made him feel happy that she had trusted him to tell him that. He had decided that he wouldn't allow Christine to lose faith in her father, he would become her Angel of Music.

Christine smiled at the thought. "Not even I know what goes on inside the vicomte's head," she replied, "Obviously though he'll panic and come to some irrational conclusion."

[Sakwa]

Erik laughed softly. He had fun imagining the Vimcotes reaction. "No doubt he'll use every curse word against me he can think of," Erik said softly. Once again he couldn't help but laugh slightly.

[*Musical~Soul*]

Raoul stormed over to the stables, only to find that empty as well, except for a few annoyed horses.

Christine gave a soft laugh. "Probably."

[Sakwa]

"Then he'll probably sulk. Then he'll probably try and catch up with us," Erik finished.

He laughed at the thought. Sorry but for once he couldn't help but laugh at the Vimcote. It was amusing.

[*Musical~Soul*]

"He won't be able to though," Christine answered, smiling.

[Sakwa]

"Cesar can outpace any horse," Erik responded softly.

He gently kissed Christines neck again, neck reining Cesar so he could hug her with one hand.

[*Musical~Soul*]

Christine smiled and leaned into Erik's embrace.

[Sakwa]

Erik smiled. He had never ever thought that Christine would be with him...not after what had happened in his lair. Yet he was happy about it, and happy that Christine was happy. He did not wish to harm her, or make her unhappy. He wanted her to feel safe, and loved...to know love...love which he'd never known.

(UNGROUNDED!! *celebrates*  )

Raoul nearly felt like shouting. His thoughts were blinded by panic, rage and frustration. He knew Christine and Erik would be long gone by now, but he ignored that thought and immediately went to saddle and bridle his horse.

[Sakwa]

(*Hums the tune for the journey to the cemetary*)

Erik kept Cesar at a steady pace. Cesar snorted, bringing his head under slightly so he wasn't leaning on the bit but instead was working activly. Despite the change in his pace Cesars movements were still smooth*

Raoul leapt onto his horse and trotted over to his kennel where he kept his few dogs, both as pets and hunting companions for when he went on his rare hunting excursions. He let his hounds loose and they trotted alongside Raoul and his horse as they set off at a fast pace after Erik and Christine.
