A/N: Well folks, here it is, the Sequel,just as promised! If you are a new reader, welcome…and I highly recommend that you read the first installment: Beginnings of Ends. If you're not a new reader…welcome! This is only the beginning of a LOOONG story. I might make it have 32 chapters. I don't know, depends on how much time I have, and how much I put in one chapter. This Prologue is short, but you need to know this. Chapter 1 is a very long one, so it might take me a little while to post it. Shutting up now.


Prologue

It has been five weeks since Christine left him. He was miserable. He wanted her back, and he was going to find a way to get rid of the Beast. Raoul did not like the idea of something so horrible touching his Christine. She was his first, and he loved her more than that…thing could. He could give her more than the Beast could even dream of.

He was rich, handsome, and he truly did love her. She was confused and frightened….she didn't know what to do. I will kill the murderer, then rescue Christine. What if he was too late? What if the Phantom already…hurt her? He couldn't bear the thought. He decided that he would, indeed return and save her. Yes…he would save the damsel in distress and she would love him for all eternity. There's no way that he would let her just slip out of his site like that again.

He went to his bedroom desk and pulled open a drawer. He got out a piece of parchment and dipped his quill in the inkbottle. He was carefully thinking of a plan to save her. Would he trick the Phantom into coming out of his lair? Could the Phantom even be tricked? And if he could, what would Raoul do? He never killed anyone in his entire life, but this had to be done! Phantom was a kidnapper, woman stealer, and a murderer. He deserved punishment for his crimes. Phantom has evaded the law far too many times. It was now up to Raoul to serve him justice.

Raoul suddenly smirked as a plan began to form in his mind. It was simple. Just show up. He was sure that the Phantom would fight back in his fury just looking at Raoul. Yes…his plan would work. It had to.


A/N: Uh Oh! Our dear Fop is up to no good…but relax. His intentions are purely good. He just doesn't understand the love between Christine and Erik. Either that…or he doesn't want to accept it. Who knows? R&R!
