Hello there everyone, I hope everyone who reads this will enjoy it :) I want to thank my sister for her support and also I would like to thank Sirina Heart for allowing me to use the same nick name she did.

Chapter one:

"Take him, forget me, forget all of this! Leave me alone, forget all you've seen! Go now don't let them find you!" Erik said while walking away.

Christine ran to go and untie Raoul.

"Take the boat, swear to me never to tell, the secret you know of the angel in HELL!...GO NOW! GO NOW! AND LEAVE ME!" Erik said / sang to them, as he went up the stairs and into a separate room.

Christine successfully untied him, he hugged her. "Christine, we must go now." Raoul said in a panic.

"No Raoul, you need to leave now. I made my choice, I'm staying here with Erik." Christine calmly stated.

"Christine, darling you don't know what you're saying. You made that choice only to save my life, I know you're not happy with this choice. Now come, lets go!" Raoul tried to urge her.

"Stop it Raoul, I am happy with the choice I made. Yes a little bit of it was to save you, but I love him, I love Erik." She said while taking off the ring he gave her and handing it back to him. "I'm staying here, Raoul my heart belongs to him." She finished just before realizing, "It always has."

"So this is truly what you wish then?" Raoul asked her while holding the ring.

Christine nods her head, "Yes this is what I want, now go."

"Then so be it, Christine I will always love you."

"Goodbye Raoul."

He nods and takes off down the tunnels. Christine runs up the stairs to her beloved.

Erik's face was stained from all the tears he shed. He was sitting down watching his symbol playing monkey.

"Masquerade...paper face's on parade...masquerade...hide your face so the would will never find you." Erik sang softly to his money.

He looked over and saw Christine standing across the room watching him. His face and eyes filled with hope, his heart pounded with so much lover for her.

"Christine...I love you!" He sang to her.

Walking over to him, she sits down beside him caressing his cheek with one hand and placed the other in one of his hands. "I love you too, Angel" She softly sang back to him.

In shock Erik stood up as more tears escaped his eyes. Christine quickly followed him and stood up.

"You love me?" Erik asked in disbelieve, while looking deeply into her eyes.

She smiled sweetly at him and replied "Yes, I love you so much!"

Erik began to cry harder, Christine's heart shattered at seeing him cry like this. She didn't want him to cry, she wanted him to be happy. Placing her arms around him, his head fell on to her shoulder. He placed his arms around her waist to hold her closer to him. Christine finally felt like she was home, being in his arms, she was home.

"Shhh, my love I'm here, I'm not going any where. Please don't cry any more, my Angel." Christine said trying to clam him down.

He lifted his head, to look her in the eyes. "How can you love me? I thought-" he tried to say but couldn't finish. Closing his eyes he turned his head away from her.

Christine placed one of her hands on his cheek, gently turning his head back towards her.

Slowly he opened his eyes back up, to look at her once more. Just then she placed the other hand on the opposite side of his face, leaning up she kissed him. Deeply and passionately. The kiss lasted for a few minutes, when they parted she replied.

"You thought I wanted to leave with him, am I right?" She asked him while wiping away his tears.

He nodded and she continued, "No, when I made my choice it was an honest one. Oh, Erik I love you and I want to stay with you. Or anywhere for that matter as long as I'm with you. Yes, I thought I loved him, but the feelings I had for him were all false feelings. I know this because that changed when I realized the truth. The truth is you, it always was you. I just didn't see it before and I deeply apologize for that my love. When you left to come back here, as you saw I untied Raoul. Once he was free from all the rope, I gave him back his ring and I told him to go." She finished explaining.

Erik's tightened the embrace, trying to hold her closer to him. "Christine...I love you, but I couldn't condemn you to a life of this. Having to wake up and see my face every morning, I...I can't. It would be selfish of me to keep you knowing that." He said while placing a hand on her cheek. She leaned into it and he continued. "You deserve more than me, you deserve more than what I can give you and more than I could ever offer you." He finished as another tear rolled down his cheek.

Christine wiped off the freshly made tear, "You are all that I need or could ever want, I love you and I always will."

Taking a deep breath Erik replied "Christine, all I have to give is a heart full of eternal love for you and promises of forever." Christine smiled "My Angel that is all I could ever ask for."

Just then they heard the mob coming closer.

"Christine, do you really love me?"

"Yes, with all my heart." She told him honestly.

Erik then smiled and honest smile, he then lowered his head down to kiss her. Pouring all the love he had in his heart into the kiss. Their arms wrapped around each other once more, tightly and possessively.

Breaking apart, he asked her. "Do you trust me?"

"Yes, with my life." She answered honestly again.

"Then I have a plan" Erik told her confidently, Christine smiled back at him and he continued, "You're going to need all trust in me, Christine." He explained while brushing her hair with his hand.

"They are looking for both you and I. Myself, they want dead. You on the other hand my love, they want to bring back to safety. I can escape and wait for you somewhere. When they find you here, I'll be out of the opera house. Let them take you back, once you're there. Go outside and I'll meet you there." Erik finished explaining.

"How will you know where I am out there?" Christine asked.

"If I can't see you, then I'll call out to you and lead you to where I am." He replied.

"Okay" Christine said with a smile, "I'll get outside as fast as I can, I love you Erik."

"I love you too Christine, more than you'll ever know."

They then gave each other one last kiss good bye, for the time being.
