A/N- Ithelps if you have seen the Phantom of the Opera movie enough to know the whole plotline until the end. I do not own any of the characters of the Phantom of the Opera. The novel is the intellectual property of Gaston LeRoux, and the movie and musical is the workings of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Down once more
to the dungeons
of my black despair!
Down we plunge
to the prison
of my mind!
Down that path
into darkness
deep as hell!

The masked man was singing furiously to a young woman whom he was dragging down the stairs.

"Erik! I love you!"

Track down this murderer

He must be found!

"It's too late for pity, Christine!"

Why, you ask,
was I bound and chained
in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any
mortal sin, but the
wickedness of
my abhorrent face!

"Erik! I love you! I want you more than anything in the world! Take me as your wife, I beg of you!"

God give me courage to show you,

You are not alone!

At this, Christine grabs the man in her arms and begins to kiss him tenderly on the lips. As she draws back from him, the man grabs her furiously.

"My God Christine, LOOK AT MY FACE."

This face

Which earned

A mother's fear and loathing.

"I know you, Erik. And now, I see only you. My husband."

At this, Christine slips the engagement ring on her finger.

"My wife." said Erik dreamily.
