Disclaimer: I do not own Phantom of the opera no matter how awesome it would be if I did

AN: This takes place directly after Phantom let Raoul and Christine go and Christine comes back to give Erik the ring back.

Christine walked down the steps into the phantoms lair for what she knew would be the last time. The ring Erik had just given her clutched tightly in her hand, but she had no regrets as she entered Erik's chamber she knew no harm would come to her. She watched as Erik glaceed up from the monkey music box noticing her.

"Christine I love you." He sang. Christine sighed as she gently placed the ring back into his hand.

"Christine step away from that murderous beast." A voice snarled from behind her.

"Raoul!What are you doing!?" Christine shirked turning to see the Viscount pointing a gun in hers and Erik's direction.

"This monsters rein of terror ends now and I won't have you get in the way so if you will my love please step aside." Raoul side.

"Christine, Do as he says leave me to die." Erik muttered looking Christine in the eye. She nodded and went behind Raoul and turned away she heard the gun shoot and took off running in a blind panic up toward the surface. On her way up she saw Madame Giry waiting at the top of the stairs.

"Madame Giry you must go down to Erik's lair he's hurt possibly dead Raoul shot him go now!" Christine said hurrying up to the exit of the opera house.

Madame Giry hurried down the stairs hiding as the mob passed muttering something about being unable to find the phantom. She spotted her daughter and waved her over.

"Meg Erik's life is in danger come with me!" She said grabbing her two rushed into Erik's lair.

"We must find him." Madame Giry said urgently. Meg walked carefully in the dark when she saw a shape in the dark.

"Mother come here quickly bring a lantern!" Meg yelped. Madame Giry came over to see what had frightened her daughter she too gasped as she saw the shape and walked closer. The lantern illuminated the horrifying scene, Erik lay on the ground his white shirt soaked in blood a bullet hole pierced through bullet hole was in his pants in his calf muscle and he lay in an expanding pool of blood.

"Is he still alive?" Meg asked.

"Yes but just barely we must get him out of here Meg now!" Madame Giry said with sudden authority.
