Is the mask magic?" he demanded with sudden, passionate interest." Yes." I bowed my head, so that our eyes no longer met. "I made it magic to keep you safe. The mask is your friend, Erik. As long as you wear it, no mirror can ever show you the face again." He was silent then and when I showed him the new mask he accepted it without question and put it on hastily with his clumsy, bandaged fingers. But when I stood up to go, he reacted with panic and clutched at my grown." Don't go! Don't leave me here in the dark."" You are not in the dark, " I said patiently. "Look, I have left the candle .."But I knew, as I looked at him, that it would have made no difference if I had left him fifty candles. The darkness he feared was in his own mind and there was no light in the universe powerful enough to take that darkness from him. With a sigh of resignation I sat back on the bed and began to sing softly; and before I had finished the first verse, he was asleep. The bandages on his hands and wrists showed white and eerie in the candle-light, as I eased my skirts from his grasp. I knew that Marie was right. Physically and mentally, I had scarred him for life.

About This Quote

The girl was full of courage and spirit. She held out her hand to him, hoping that he would pick it up. He didn’t want to take her hand, but at the same time he didn’t want to lose her friendship. “I will never let you go,” he said in a whisper before he kissed her hand.

“I will never let you go,” she said in return before they parted. That was the beginning of their amazing love story.
