Chapter 1: The End?

Twice. She kissed him twice. The first, he was too shocked to grasp what was going on. Then she hugged him and he still stood frozen, when he went to put his hands around her, he found her lips once again on his and it was too much to bear. Pushing her away and grabbing a candle, he released the rich brat if only to make Christine happy. Happiness. Something he knew she could never have with me.

"Take her and go" he screamed at Raoul, she didn't need to see what happens next. The sooner she leaves, the sooner she can forget him and this place and begin a life that would make her happy. He will never forget her beautiful angelic face. She called him angel but little did she know, he was only glowing because he was basking in her angelic light. Her seductive body, her gorgeous chestnut curls. He sadly watched them flee up the steps and then heard his monkey playing music.

"Masquerade…hide your face so the world will never find you" he sadly sang while covering the monkey's eyes. The he heard footsteps. Turning around he looked upon Christine. His angel.

"Say you'll need me with you here beside you" She sang while looking at her ring. All he needed to do was say that he wanted her and she would gladly stay.

"Christine I love you" he sang while taking the ring back. No ties. He mustn't leave any ties to her old life.

She sobbed as the chanting got louder. He led her to the stairs where Raoul was waiting and watched her leave. This is the last they would see each other. Or so they thought.
