Ch. 10 What game are we going to play?
It is the morning of the next day, which means it is Christmas Dady. Lucille wakes up from her slumber as she runs off to Erik, who is sleeping on a black couch across from the Swan-like bed. The blonde-haired female stopped running as she stands in front of the black-haired male. The young female innocently giggles as she gently pokes Erik's disfigured face, which wakes the young male up from his slumber.
" Someone is awake," Erik mumbled as he sits up straight, and he gently pulls Lucille to a hug. " Good morning, My Little Angel," The black-haired male affectionately kissed the blonde-haired female's head.
" Morning, Erik! It is finally Christmas," Lucille excitedly tells Erik, which made the black-haired male warmly smiled.
" Indeed, it is. Again, Merry Christmas to you," Erik gently pinched Lucille's cheek with his finger, which made the blonde-haired female kindly smiled.
" I am going to eat breakfast with Madame Giry and Meg," Lucille excitedly tells Erik.
" Okay. Let me escort you," Erik stands up, which caused Lucille to step back.
" I will go on my own! The hallway is not that scary anymore, remember because you put lanterns on the ground so that I can walk safely to your lair," Lucille warmly smiled at Erik.
" Alright," Erik amusedly chuckles.
" I am going to walk you to the grand doors at least," Erik softly yet firmly tells Lucille as they walk away from the couch to the dock where the black-haired male helps the blonde-haired female get on the boat.
Lucille excitedly sits on the boat since she remembered Madame Giry telling her that she is going to be eating breakfast with her and Meg and that the older female is also going to give her Christmas presents.
Erik grabs the wooden paddle as he steers himself and Lucille across the river to the other side of the lair. The black-haired male gets out of the boat as he then helped the blonde-haired female get out.
" I had so much fun last night," Lucille happily tells Erik as they walked towards the grand doors.
" Did you?" Lucille stops walking as she turns her gaze to Erik.
" I did," Erik responds as he politely nods his head.
" That was the best Christmas ever for me," Erik honestly tells Lucille, which made the blonde-haired female smile in glee.
Erik opens the grand doors as Lucille stepped out.
" I will see you later!" Lucille waves goodbye to Erik as she runs down the candle-lit hallway, and she disappears.
Erik's gaze saddens when he sees that Lucille is gone. The black-haired male turns around as he closed the grand doors behind him. The young male sadly sighs as he walks away to entertain himself by playing music on the piano.
With Lucille, the blonde-haired female safely makes it to the hallway of the Opera House as she steps out of the storage room. The young female looked at her surroundings as she runs off to meet up with Madame Giry and Meg at their home.
Ten minutes later, Lucille finally arrives at Madame Giry's home. The blonde-haired female opens the door, and she steps inside. The young female looked straight to see Madame Giry and Meg quietly eating their breakfast.
" Good morning, and Merry Christmas!" Lucille happily greets Madame Giry and Meg as she walks up to the two females.
" Good morning, Lucille, and Merry Christmas," Madame Giry politely greets Lucille with a hug.
" Yes. Good morning to you too," Meg softly greets Lucille as she faked a smile.
' I still do not understand why Erik does not want to accept my confession?' Meg sadly asked herself as she quietly watched Lucille sit next to Madame Giry. ' Can it be that Erik has feelings for Lucy?' The blonde-haired female curiously asked herself.
Twenty minutes later, the three females finished eating their breakfast. Madame Giry takes the dirty dishes as she walks away to the kitchen to wash them. Meg turns her gaze to Lucille, who is staring at the Christmas presents with an excited gaze.
" Lucy," Meg calls out to Lucille, which caused the young blonde-haired female to stare at the older blonde-haired female.
" Yes?" Lucille politely responds to Meg.
" Would you like to play a game with me and some of my friends?" Meg curiously asked Lucille.
Lucille's eyes sparkled in excitement at the idea of playing with Meg and other children close to their age.
" Yes!" Lucille clapped her hands in excitement.
" Mother," Meg stands up, which caused Lucille to follow her example. " Lucille and I are going to play with some of my friends. I hope that is alright with you?" The older blonde-haired female politely asked Madame Giry.
" That is fine," Madame Giry responds, thinking that it would be pleasant for Lucille to play with Meg and other children their age.
" Okay," Meg politely nods her head as she takes Lucille's hand in hers. " Let's go, Lucy," The older blonde-haired female tells the younger blonde-haired female as they run out of the house.
" Be careful!" Madame Giry shouts as she hears the door gets slammed.
" I am glad that at least that child of mine is getting distracted by letting Lucille play with her and her friends," Madame Giry sadly sighed as she continues to wash the dishes.
Madame Giry did not like hurting her only daughter's feelings, but she does not want Meg to fall for someone who does not share the same feelings as her.
Outside, Lucille is standing next to Meg as the older blonde-haired female politely introduced the other children to the young blonde-haired female.
" What game are we going to play?" Lucille excitedly asked Meg.
Meg turns her gaze to the other children as she looks back at Lucille.
" We are going to play hide-n-seek," Meg tells Lucille.
" I love that game," Lucille happily tells Meg as she begins to hum a melody.
Meg turns her gaze to her older friends, seeing that Lucille is distracted.
" Itzel. You are going to count to ten. Phillip, Marcos, Jane, and Cassandra. You guys are going to hide for a bit. And when Lucy hides, we will go back to the Opera House," Meg says to her friends.
" But, it is cold outside," Jane worriedly tells Meg.
" What if Lucy gets sick?" Cassandra asked Meg in concern.
" Lucy is going to be fine. She is wearing a sweater," Meg reassured her friends as they politely nod their heads.
Meg turns to Lucille.
" Lucy," Meg calls out to Lucille, which caused the younger blonde-haired female to stare at the older blonde-haired female.
" Itzel is going to count to ten. Let's go hide," Meg takes Lucille's hand in hers as they begin to run.
" Okay!" Lucille excitedly responds as she runs with Meg while Itzel begins to count, and the other children go to hide.
Meg and Lucille ran passed the horses' stalls as they head towards the forest. Unbeknown to the young females, a black male horse named Hades quietly watched them enter the woods from within its stalls.
" Neigh!" Hades begins to move around its stalls when he senses a malicious intent coming from Meg towards Lucille.
Hades recognized Lucille due to Erik introducing him to the blonde-haired female when they began to develop a close relationship with each other, and the horse immediately senses that his owner, Erik, and Lucille are mates.
At the forest, Meg and Lucille stopped running, which caused the younger blonde-haired female to curiously stared at her surroundings.
" Are we going to hide here? Your friend would not catch us, correct?" Lucille innocently yet curiously asked Meg.
" Yes. We will be safe," Meg reassures Lucille as she guides her deeper to the snowy woods.
Lucille hugs her sweater close to her as she continues to look at her surroundings, admiring the beautiful snowy trees.
" Lucy," Meg calls out to Lucille, which caused the younger blonde-haired female to stare at the older blonde-haired female.
" Can you hide in this cave?" Meg stops walking as she and Lucille turned to a cave.
" Okay!" Lucille excitedly nods her head as she quietly enters the cave, and she turns to stare at Meg.
" Where are you going to hide?" Lucille curiously asked Meg.
" I will be hiding nearby," Meg reassures Lucille as she fakes a smile.
" Okay!" Lucille giggles, feeling excited to be playing with Meg and the other children.
" Stay there, okay. Don't let Itzel find you," Meg firmly tells Lucille as she turns around, and she runs off, leaving the younger blonde-haired female alone in the cave.
Lucille politely nods her head as she patiently stays in the cave. The young blonde-haired female turns around as she curiously stares at the empty dark, cold cave.
" Hello?" Lucille calls out, and she giggles when she hears her echos.
With Meg, she finally reached back to the Opera House as she and her friends go to rehearse their dance routines.
" Are you sure we are not going to get in trouble?" Jane worriedly asked Meg.
" No," Meg reassures Jane as she kindly smiled at her friend.
" Do not be a baby, Jane," Marcos teases Jane.
" I am not a baby!" Jane pouts as the young girls and boys go their separate ways to change into their ballet uniforms.
With Lucille, she started to get hungry despite eating breakfast earlier. The blonde-haired female turns to the snowy forest from inside the cave.
" Meg?" Lucille calls out to Meg, but there was no response.
" Meg?" Lucille steps out of the cave as she looks at her surroundings. " I am getting hungry!" The blonde-haired female cries out, and she worriedly frowns when she does not hear Meg's voice.
" Meg!" Lucille screams her heart out, which awaken some wolves from their slumbers.
" Grrr," A growling sound grabs Lucille's attention, and she turns around to see a pack of wolves walking out of the cave.
Lucille nervously stares at the pack of wolves as they curiously stare at the blonde-haired female. Tears welled up in the young female's eyes as the wolves started to growl and bark at her.
" Erik!" Lucille screams her heart out as she begins to cry, and she turns around, as she begins to run, hearing the pack of wolves running after her.
With Hades, the black male horse heard Lucille's cries, which caused the animal to lift his front legs, and he kicked the door down as he runs off, which surprised the horse keepers.
" Who does that horse belong too?!" One of the horse keepers asked in surprise as he and his partner watched Hades ran off into the forest.
