Chapter Text
“Well that went well. I don’t know what you are so worried about Erik! You’re like, the Mozart of the 21st Century! The Phantom of the Opera without the Mask! The..The,” Elisa stuttered and waved her hand around trying to think of another analogy.
“The Music Meister,” Erik said with a grin and a wink.
“No not him. He’s evil. And he hypnotizes people into doing his bidding.”
“It’s a good thing we have Arkham ca-,” Erik started to sing, as he held his violin case tightly with one arm, the other extending out.
Elisa pushed his arm down and smacked the back of his head gently. “No! Let’s not have a High School Musical Moment.”
“Aww Let me practice! I have to sing and play the violin tomorrow. At least let me practice one on the way home,” Erik laughed out and pulled his arm away, hugging his violin case with both arms. “You are going to be there tomorrow aren’t you?”
“Of Course! Wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Elisa giggled out and hopped up onto a wall, walking along it. “What songs are you doing?”
“I was thinking of doing “Open Your Eyes” and “The Ballad of the Green Berets”. They both are really good songs. I also considered doing “Monster”. Or even that one you like a lot. What was it called… The one about betrayal?”
“OH! The Riddle! That would be awesome,” Elisa squealed and did a small jump, almost slipping off the wall she was on. “Eep!”
“Be careful Idiot! I don’t need you getting hurt!”
“Hehe sorry Erik,” Elisa said and went red as she jumped off the wall, walking alongside her best friend again.
“So mine or yours for Ger-What is that,” Erik asked and pointed at a shiny door.
“It’s shiny, and it’s a door. Hmm. Odd,” Elisa said and her nose wrinkled.
“I know that look. That’s your bewitched look. The “Sherlock Mode” look. Don’t even,” Erik said and grabbed on to her arm.
“Just a quick peeky weeky! It looks interesting. And it’s shiny,” Elisa whined and made a run for it before being pulled back.
“Elisa. No. Think. It’s Shiny and might be dangerous,” Erik growled, which soon turned to an “Ewww” when Elisa licked him.
“Stick,” Elisa cried out as she took off for the shiny door. She stopped for two seconds and grabbed a stick before running off, Erik soon behind.
“Elisa! Uh Oh…We’re in Trouble,” Erik mumbled under his breath and took off as fast as he could. Last time she poked something with a stick it ended up being a skunk’s home. Like hell he was having a situation like that again.
Elisa stopped and poked the door. Which proceeded to fall off the hinges towards her. She yelped and jumped back, right into Erik making him drop his violin.
“Elisa! Dammit I told you not to mess with it,” Erik snapped and bent down to pick up his violin. “Now leave i- Elisa?”
“What the hell is it,” Elisa asked and walked up to the shiny…Entrance? It was just light. Nothing but light. Elisa knelt down, adjusting her backpack so it was better situated and leaned in closer eyes narrowed at it.
“Elisa get away from it. Let’s call the police,” Erik whispered scared.
“Nothing to be scared of. What’s the worst that happens,” Elisa huffs and loose her balance as she leaned in a little closer. She caught herself on the door frame and shot a grin back. “See no problem!” Elisa started to push away, but her hand slipped, going into the bizarre light show. Soon the rest was being pulled in. “ERIK! HELP!”
“Fuck! I told you not to mess with it,” Erik cried out and dropped the violin and ran forward to try and grab Elisa. He was a hair to late, his hand barely missing hers as Elisa disappeared into the lights. Two seconds after she fell through, the Light show, went supernova bright. Erik had no choice but to cover his eyes and back away. He tripped over his violin and fell to the ground. He stared in shock at the empty warehouse. Elisa was gone. His best friend. Was gone. How was he to tell her dad what happened? What about Annabelle? Hell what about the police?!
