Ch. 9 Merry Christmas My Little Angel

A week later, it is finally Christmas Eve in Paris, France. Lucille is in the Palais Garnier, wearing a red dress with green floral patterns on it, white leggings, and black flats. The blonde-haired female tiptoes as she helps Madame Giry and Meg decorate the Christmas Tree in their small home within the Opera House. 

Last night, Lucille's parents, Raphael and Natalie left the Opera House with Adrien to visit Natalie's relatives that live a few hours away from the City. 

Lucille didn't go with them for the first time because she wanted to celebrate Christmas with Erik. But she innocently lied, saying that she wanted to spend Christmas with Madame Giry and Meg. Madame Giry did not mind since the older female knew that Erik would be lonely if Lucille weren't celebrating Christmas with him even if the fifteen-year-old wouldn't admit it. 

In the evening Raphael, Natalie, and Adrien left, Madame Giry reassured the couple that Lucille is going to be okay and that she will give the young female the presents that they were planning to give her. 

Lucille hugged her parents as she affectionately kissed Adrien on the cheek. The blonde-haired female waves goodbye as she watched her parents and younger brother get inside the carriage.  

" Say hello to Auntie Anna! Uncle Henry! And Cousin Raoul for me!" Lucille shouts as she hugs Madame Giry since it is cold outside. 

" Will do!" Raphael shouts as the carriage leaves, causing Lucille and Madame Giry to get back inside the Opera House. 

In the present, Lucille finally finished decorating the Christmas Tree. The blonde-haired female turns to Madame Giry as she excitedly and politely asked the older female if it is okay to see Erik. 

" Of course. I made this for you and Erik," Madame Giry warmly tells Lucille as she walks away to get a brown basket for Lucille to take when she goes to see Erik. 

Lucille patiently waits for Madame Giry, and she blinks when she hears her name. The blonde-haired female turns to see Meg walking up to her. 

" Lucy," Meg kindly calls out to Lucille. 

" Yes?" Lucille politely responds to Meg. 

" Can you give this to Erik for me? I want to give it myself, but Mother won't let me," Meg sadly sighed as she held an envelope with Erik's name on it. 

" Okay!" Lucille kindly smiled at Meg as she takes the envelope from the young female's grasp. 

" Here you go, Lucille," Madame Giry calls out to Lucille as she held a brown basket to the blonde-haired female. 

" Thank you," Lucille takes the brown basket from Madame Giry's grasp as she waves goodbye to them, and she carefully leaves the room. 

" Mother," Meg turns to Madame Giry once Lucille is gone. " How come Lucy gets to see him, but I can't?" The young female sadly asked the older female, feeling a bit envious that a little girl can see Erik in person. 

" Meg. We have spoken about this," Madame Giry sternly tells Meg. 

" But, Mother, I love him," Meg confessed as she intently stared at Madame Giry. 

" You have never seen or met, Erik in person. How does a little girl such as yourself know about love?" Madame Giry scolds Meg. 

Tears welled up in Meg's eyes as she glares at Madame Giry. 

" If you let me meet Erik, I can genuinely love him," Meg cries out as she turns around, and she runs to her bedroom. 

Madame Giry worriedly sighed when she hears the door gets slammed. 

" I am afraid that when you meet Erik in person, you would scream in horror when you see his face," Madame Giry sadly tells herself. 

With Lucille, the blonde-haired female safely arrives at Erik's lair. The young female was about to open the grand doors, but she stopped when she sees Erik standing in front of her. 

" Erik!" Lucille happily calls out to Erik, who is not wearing his mask. 

" Hello, Lucille," Erik warmly smiled as he takes the picnic basket from Lucille's grasp, and he lets the blonde-haired female into his lair. 

" Merry Christmas, Erik," Lucille kindly smiled at Erik as she happily skips towards the boat. 

" Merry Christmas, My Little Angel," Erik fondly smiled as he walks with Lucille to the boat, and he gets inside as he held his hand to help her get in. 

Erik gently placed the picnic basket beside Lucille as he grabbed the wooden paddle, and he steers themselves across the river to the other side of his lair where a candle-lit table is waiting for them. 

Erik grabs the picnic basket with his left hand as he helped Lucille get out of the boat with the other. The black-haired male then guides the blonde-haired female to the candle-lit table as they sat down across from one another. 

" Do you want to eat first or open your present?" Erik curiously asked Lucille since he has never celebrated Christmas before until now, with the blonde-haired female sitting across from him.

" We can open presents first!" Lucille excitedly tells Erik. 

Erik amusedly chuckles. 

" Alright. I shall get your present," Erik stands up as he walks away to get Lucille's present. 

Lucille grabs the envelope that Meg gave her to give to Erik, and she also pulls out another envelope that she is going to give to the black-haired male. 

" I am back. I um hope you like your gift," Erik nervously held a black box with a blue bow on it to Lucille. 

Lucille gently placed the two envelopes on her lap as she takes Erik's gift. The blonde-haired female carefully opened it, and her eyes sparkle when she sees a beautiful silver bracelet with three charms on it.

" It's beautiful!" Lucille happily tells Erik, which made the black-haired male sigh in relief. 

" I am glad you like your gift. Would you like me to put it on you?" Erik politely asked Lucille.

" Yes, please," Lucille gives the black box to Erik as he held her right arm out to him.

Erik gently grabs the bracelet as he puts it on Lucille's right wrist. The black-haired male noticed it looked a bit big on her, so he made sure to put the lock close to her wrist so it won't fall. 

" Does it hurt?" Erik worriedly asked Lucille. 

" No. I am okay," Lucille kindly smiled at Erik. " Thank you for the gift, Erik. It's beautiful," The blonde-haired female stands up as she puts the two envelops on the chair, and she turns to hug the black-haired male. 

Erik's gaze softens as he hugs Lucille close to him, feeling happy to be spending his first Christmas with his little Angel. 

" I have a gift for you. It's something small, though," Lucille lifts her head to stare at Erik. 

Erik lets go of Lucille, and he silently watched her get two envelops. The black-haired male raised an eyebrow, wondering if the two belong to Lucille. 

" This one is from Meg Giry," Lucille held one envelope to Erik. " I promise Meg that I will give this to you," The blonde-haired female kindly smiled at the black-haired male. 

Erik politely takes the envelope. 

" I will read it on my own time," Erik softly tells Lucille as he puts the envelope in his coat pocket as he wonders why Meg is giving him something for Christmas. 

Lucille politely nods her head as she held the second envelope to Erik. 

" And this is for you from me," Lucille kindly smiled at Erik. 

Erik happily takes the envelope as he opens it to see a written letter from Lucille to him. 

Dear Erik,

Thank you for being my best friend and for giving me such beautiful memories.

Thank you for listening to me speak about so many things even though I can tell it bores you. 

Thank you for teaching me so many different melodies that I can now play in the piano. 

And thank you for making me feel special. 

Love,

Lucille

Tears welled up in Erik's eyes as he reads Lucille's letter to him. Even though it is something small, he finds the gift more meaningful to him. 

" Lucille. Your gift is so perfect. I love it. Thank you," Erik fondly smiled at Lucille, who happily smiled back at him. 

" I am glad! Now I am getting hungry," Lucille giggles, which made Erik laugh heartily. 

Erik opens the picnic basket as he pulls out their dinner, and he then placed the food in front of them as they begin to eat. 

Once dinner ended, Erik walks up to a phonograph, and he gently puts on a record as a sweet melody begins to play. 

" Would you like to dance with me?" Erik politely asked Lucille as he turns to stare at her. 

Lucille kindly smiled at Erik as she takes his hand in hers, and they begin to dance. The blonde-haired female happily laughs when the black-haired male lifts her, and they started to spin. The ten-year-old female warmly stared at the fifteen-year-old male once he puts her down as the music begins to get slower, and they begin to waltz. 

Once the music ended, Lucille opens her mouth, and she softly yawns, which lets Erik know she is getting tired. The black-haired male swiftly carries Lucille into his arms as he takes her to the Swan-like bed. 

" I am not tired," Lucille mumbled as she tries her hardest to fight her slumber. 

" Yes, you are, My Little Angel," Erik amusedly chuckles as he affectionately kissed Lucille's forehead, and he puts the blanket on her. 

Lucille softly yawns as she closed her eyes, and she falls into a peaceful slumber. 

Once Erik sees that Lucille is asleep, he stands up, as he walks away from the Swan-like bed, and he pulls out the envelope with his name on it. 

Erik opens the envelope as he silently reads a written letter to him from Meg. 

Hello, Erik. 

I am in love with you. 

I have always been in love with you ever since I overheard you speak to my Mother. 

I may not know how you look like, but I can tell that you are handsome. 

You are my only love, and you are my destiny.

I hope that when you read this letter that you would give me a chance. 

Love, 

Meg.

Erik's eyes narrowed as he crushed the letter with his right hand, and he throws it to the water as it immediately sinks to the bottom. The black-haired male turns to Lucille, who is peacefully sleeping on the Swan-like bed. 

" No one deserves my love except for you," Erik softly tells Lucille as he walks away to his piano. 

Erik grabs his mask, and he gently puts it on his disfigured face. 

Erik then gets on his small boat as he leaves his lair to a different secret passage. 

With Madame Giry, she gently opens the door, and she sees that Meg has fallen asleep after crying her heart out. The older female sadly sighed as she closed the door, and she turns around to see Erik entering her home from a mirror. 

" Erik," Madame Giry worriedly calls out to Erik. 

Madame Giry gently placed her hand on her chest since the black-haired male took her by surprise.  

" Is Lucille okay?" Madame Giry worriedly asked Erik. 

" Lucille is having a peaceful slumber. I have come here to tell you something about your foolish daughter," Erik firmly tells Madame Giry. 

Madame Giry lightly bites her lips. 

" What did my daughter do?" Madame Giry worriedly asked Erik. 

" Tell your daughter that she is a fool to let Lucille be a messenger and give me her Love Letter," Erik firmly tells Madame Giry as he turns around, which caused the older female to sadly sighed. 

" Tell that child of yours that I will never accept her confession," Erik softly tells Madame Giry as he steps through the mirror, and he disappears into the darkness.
