Erik looked into her eyes, trying desperately to remember. But, he couldn't. "All I remember was a fire and my master."
~
Raoul was staring at Margaret and Erik, dumbfounded. He had no clue that Erik was still alive. How did Margaret know about it?

((Is Raoul referng to erik as the phantom. I am confused. LOL.))

Margaret frowned. "Master? Erik, your house was set a flame by Mr. De Ghant of the Opera Rouge. I saw it from my window. I had tea that very afternoon with you."

((We shouldn't revial all yet, maybe he has to leave because of raoul yet again, and she returns days later after secretly escaping her home, because Raoul is worried for her, and won't let her leave.))

[Alright.]

Erik was about to say something, but saw Raoul in the corner of his eye. "I have to go." He told her and then ran back up the stairs.
~
Raoul seemed a little confused by Erik's actions and sighed deeply.

Margaret couldn't believe it. That night when she was in her room she took a folder from the bottom of her chest. Eriks words flowed over her like a veil. 'Take these, keep them safe, Mr. De Ghant might come back for them.' he had shoved the folders into her arms before she left his house that day. 'But they are your operas Erik. And your still working on your latest one.' She had said confused. She grabed them up and put on her cloak. She then went out and was about to leave the house when she was stopped by Raoul.

((Does Raoul still think Erik is dead, and thinks Magaret was with the Phantom at the ball?))

[Yeah.]

Raoul saw Margaret and looked concerned. "What are you doing, Margaret?" He folded his arms and stood in her way.

Margaret hid the folder beneath her cloak. "I'm going out. I saw Erik at the ball. He needs me Raoul, right now more then I need him."

Raoul shook his head. "I can't let you do that, Margaret..." He told her, with care in his voice. He remained exactly where he was.

Margaret looked at her brother with confusion. "Why not? I want to go out, I think you would be happy."

Raoul shook his head. "I'll be happy if you stay in your room, like you're told." He stared down at her, but with a look of caring still.

Margaret frowned then walked back to her room. Slowly she put her things away and looked out the window. "Where are you Erik? Why can't you remember, why must you hide behind a mask?" She asked out loud not aware Raoul was listening outside her room.

((I have an idea, maybe Erik finds out that Margaret is Raoul's sister(He saw them leave the ball together) and goes to the De Changy home to find out more about her.))

((Amara if you want to use a song you see fit for the story that isn't from POTO, go ahead and use it.))

Sighing sadly Margaret didn't notice the masked man approach the house as she opened her window and sang into the night.

~Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no way
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we ever were in love

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Incomplete~

Erik heard Margaret sing and sighed deeply.

~My hearts broken
I don't remember a thing
But when you've spoken
You made me want to sing

Baby, my baby
There's despair on your face
And I still wonder
If we ever were in love

I tried to remember you like I used to
I'm awake
But my world is half asleep
I pray that I will soon remember
But if you don't help me, all I will be is
Incomplete...~

He looked up to her and took a deep breath.

Margaret sighed. She thought she had heard his voice. Still unaware that Raoul was outside her door and Erik was below her window, she continued to sing.

~Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we bring back our passions again,
Like we used to do?

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away



Why aren't you at my side?
How can I be use to you being gone now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed

Please remember me
Please remember me

You must love me~

Erik continued watching Margaret, sadly. She didn't know that he was there. He sighed deeply and folded his arms.

~My love, I long to know your ways
I long to see the days
Where we'll be together

Your face so sweet
You skin so warm
I'd have history repeat
Just to be in your arms

I love you
Even though I don't know you
I want you to be true
And to help me through

I want you
In my life from now on

And I promise you
That I'll be true
To you...~

He hoped that she had noticed he was there.
~
Raoul heard their exchange of songs and he sighed. He shook his head and then left to go to his room.

Margaret was sure it was him this time. She looked down and saw the mask again. Smiling sadly she spoke. "Oh Erik. . ."

~There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down

Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down~
