"Farewell My Fallen Idol and False friend.."

I sang to my Fallen Angel of music. I was despairing, He would always be there. Always be there singing songs in my head. There was no escape now, for Raoul was tied to the portcullis as if a prisoner to the dark depths of the Paris Opera House. My teacher, Angel of Music, and my captor sang loudly as I sadly drank in the rich tenor of his voice. It was over now.

"So do you end your days with me or do you send him to his GRAVE?"

"Why make her lie to you to save me?" My love sang fiercely. Don't give up Raoul.

So it was to be a choice. Tears ran rampant down my red face. What was I to do?

"Angel of Music, Who deserves this?"

The Phantom, Raoul, and I sang together in a medley now. Raoul pled for me to refuse the offer to save him. But I was in a world alone with my teacher. We were speaking through song.

"His life is now the prize you must earn!" Indeed it is. His sound echoed off the walls, Crashing back into my ears and awaking my heart with a jolt. The song was continuing.

"I fought so hard to free you." I know Raul. I thought. But now I must free you.

"I gave you my mind blindly." I finished the song in my speaking voice. Farther frustrating the Phantom.

My heart ached as I knew the declaration of a choice was drawing near.

"You try my patience. Make your choice." He said with a bit of an angry amused look on his face. If this was the way to free Raoul this is what I would do, and so sang and my voice rung with truth and pity. As I sang I waded the water. Closer to my teacher.

"Pitiful creature of darkness, What kind of life have you known? God give me courage to show you, You are not alone…" and my words rang truthful. I meant what I was saying, but not in the way my forsaken teacher would believe. Or did he believe the façade? I drew closer. I done the unexpected and met his lips with a passionate kiss. I wanted him to know he could be loved, he was human and could possess humanity if he tried. He could love without possessiveness, Something felt new about this kiss, but I brushed it aside and recalled my other reasons for the whole ordeal. Raoul looked confused if not hurt. Did he not realize the reason for my choice? I love The Phantom, Dearly. But not in the same way as Raoul. I pleaded with God that he would understand this.

My teachers eyes held love and all the sadness of the world. Tears stained both the God-like and Marred sides of his face. He sobbed with joy and despair, only if I could understand what he was thinking, and with that I knew Raoul could go free. But I was forever in exile to the deep dungeons and winding Labyrinth of the Opera House. Never to see the light of day, my love would go free.

The Phantom collected himself. "Your choice is clear. Your young man may go free." he said. The realization in his eyes was always there. He knew me well. He knew why I was doing this. My pretenses were alleviated and penetrated by his eyes and I let out a sob as he released Raoul. Even as he knew my reasons he would cage me here. "But you my dear, You will remain here." He said. "Christine! I'll come for you!" Raoul bellowed wildly. He truly would give his life. That was clear, for the Phantom grabbed hold of him fiercely and commenced to draw his sword and grit his teeth. "There is no chance for you. For when you come back with the police we will have fled. You mustn't return. I'll kill you now, or my Labyrinth of traps will kill you once you return to the surface to fetch the police and come back." It did not matter I realized. Raoul would return no matter and perish in doing so. I would make this easier for all of us.

"Raoul, Go. Go and Return to your world, I've made my choice. For what I confessed was no charade. I do not wish to wed you any longer, my heart lie with my Angel of music. Go now and don't return for me. I will never go with you."

I said with a look of mock disgust on my face. A look of horror then agony and then anger flashed across his face. Raoul forgive me, please forgive me. I thought his past words. He turned and the portcullis rose as the Phantom roared with confirmation and anger.

" IT'S OVER NOW THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT!"

A/n Okay yes it was short. But in a sense its a prolouge. What Im trying to convey is that the reasons for Christines kiss was to show him he could be loved and was human and also that it was not his face that made him appear unhuman. And also here in my version it was to free Raoul. Next chapter should be up tonight or tomorrow! please read and review! PLEEEEEASE!
