Two Souls and One Shattered Phantom: Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own Phantom of the Opera or its characters, Erik, Christine, Raoul, Meg, and Mde. Giry, or Nadir Khan. But I do own the characters that I am adding to the story. As of right now I will not tell you who they are for they would spoil the surprise for later chapters.

A/N: This is my first fanfic for Phantom of the Opera that I plan to finish. Now please read and review. Constructive criticism is welcome but please no flaming. If you do not like the story then you don't have to review or even read it. Thank you and I hope you all enjoy the story. Now here is the summary.

Summary: Two Souls and One Shattered Phantom. Can Erik live with how his life turned out and help the two souls that are now in his life? Will the two souls finally become one and learn what Christine and Erik felt for each other, well at least the good of that? Find out.

A/N: Just one quicker note, Erik will be constant throughout this whole story. But some of the other characters that I mentioned in the disclaimer will not. They might be mentioned but that is all. You will learn the fate of some of them as the story continues and maybe some might be present at least for a chapter or two. Also, one of my characters will make a brief entrance then leave. And then the other two will be constant throughout after the first couple chapters. Well before I ramble on and on here is the first chapter, enjoy.

"Now it's over the music of the night..." Erik said as he watched the love of his life leave with his rival.

As the pair finally disappeared in the dark Erik lost all self control as he gathered a few things he would need. The mob was approaching fast and he knew that he needed to get out of there. Finally, after gathering what was left of his food and then his money, he grabbed a few change of clothes and then by impulse he grabbed the ring that Christine had left behind. Then, one last thing grabbing his cape with the hood and his fedora and his belt with his Punjab lasso. He decided to leave his white mask behind, but instead he grabbed his black mask just like the white. Then putting on his mask he grabbed his belongings and looked one more time at his lair and his home for many years. With the sound of the mob just about to reach the lake he went by breaking all of his mirrors by finally moving one aside and entering a tunnel that not even Mde. Giry knew about.

Erik waited for about five minutes when the mob had reached his lair and he could hear the damage being done. Then, he turned around and headed to where the tunnel would end.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Two months later….." Erik couldn't believe how much time had passed since that night his world came crashing down on

him.

The mob never found him but when he finally returned to his lair two weeks later he found it trashed and destroyed. His precious organ that he had created from his own hands was no more. All that was left was some few pipes and some splintered wood. So Erik began the gruesome task of cleaning up the mess that was left behind. While going through some of the stuff he noticed that his mask or pieces of his mask were no where to be found. Neither was his Persian Music Box. It had a monkey that stood on top holding symbols. It played a tune that Erik found helped him to go to sleep when his restless mind could not.

It took another two weeks to finally clean his lair. Then he set to refurnishing it.

On the morning of the next day Erik quickly left to find a place where he could buy the wood and crafting materials he would need to build another bed and other furniture he would need.

After another two weeks he had the furniture he would need, but he would need sheets and pillows for the bed and a table cloth for the kitchen table. Also, other cooking utensils and some for bathing and such. So close to sunset he went out to get the things he would need. While passing a stand that held flowers he bumped into or more like she bumped into him, was a young woman probably close to Christine's age.

This young lady had long sand blonde hair. Her eyes were a sea green. They were deep with a touch of sadness.

Sadness? Why would a beautiful girl like herself be sad?

Knocking him out of his thoughts the woman spoke, " Excuse me Mr. I was not watching where I was going."

Her voice was a soft melodious tune. It startled Erik for he had never heard such a voice especially coming from a young woman. Then Erik noticed she was staring up at him and that in fact she was waiting for him to reply something in return.

So to please her he responded, " No Miss it was my fault entirely. Please excuse me?"

Alyssa, shuddered as Erik's baritone rang in her ears. She had never heard such a voice before. Sure Richard's voice was deep but it didn't hold such emotion. Oh, Richard. Why?

As Erik cleared his throat Alyssa came out of her thoughts. She now looked at the man before her fully. He was clothed all in black besides the white shirt that lay under his jacket and cape. He had on a hood but under the hood she could make out a face with a mask laying on the right side. At that she gasped, was he the Phantom?

Erik saw her looking him up closely and his face started to turn a beat red. Glad that she couldn't notice that since his face was under his hood. But, then when he heard her gasp he realized that she must have noticed his mask and figured out who he was well at least who he once was. With that he started to turn away, but even with strength Alyssa didn't know she had, she reached and grabbed Erik's arm in a firm grasp.

Alyssa was just as surprised as Erik at her movement, "Please Mr. answer me this one question?"

Erik quickly responded with venom, "Miss you would do well to let go of my arm and fine one question but I have errands to do and you have delayed me long enough."

Quickly Alyssa asked, "Are you the Phantom everyone was talking about?"

With one quick word Erik responded, "…Yes…"

Then as quickly as he had said the word he had left. With Alyssa standing with her mouth wide open. For some force that went beyond her comprehension, she knew he would be back and in a way she would too.

A/N: Thank you for reading and please drop a review. Alyssa is one of the characters that I have made up. She will be around for the next two chapters then she will only be mentioned. This is not an EOC. It is strictly some mentioned EC and some RC. But mostly it is an OCOC. Just letting you know so none of you get confused. I like Erik with Christine and sometimes Erik with Meg or and OC. Or Raoul with Meg. But, in this one Erik will not get anyone unfortunately but he will learn some important information. Now Erik shaped cookies to whoever reviews. Sorry for the cliffe hanger but there will be many more to come. And again enjoy.

Sorry for the short chapter but I had to get this out of the way and I promise the following chapters will be longer as we go along.
