The Stars Will Continue To Shine

by TheCarolean

"Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light." -Helen Keller. A story that shows that love is never limited to just one person; love is infinite and takes many forms, even after death. On an unrelated note: I own absolutely nothing from the original work of Gaston Leroux. Yes the prolgue is very short, but all we be explained when chapter 1 is up

1. Chapter 1

Prologue:

With every breath she takes the pain in her chest only seems to increase ever so slightly, and she feels as though her heart will break at any moment. She feels the tears about to break through her eyes, and she tries so very hard to keep them at bay but to no avail; she feels them slowly slide down her face. She knows no one is around to see her cry which only creates more tears that drip from her eyes; to know that she is about to slip slowly into the dark with no one by her side is the thought that saddens her the most.

With all the strength she has left she lifts her arm slowly into the empty air, knowing full well that no one is there but still she is holding on to the tiny bit of hope that someone will reach out to her. And when her fingers feel a warm and loving touch she smiles because she knows it's him. With renewed strength she forces her tear stained eyes to open, and she feels all the pain in her chest start to slowly fade away and she can feel her heart melt when her eyes see his loving face.
