chapter 1 Secrets

"This is it , how does it feel knowing this will be your last breath, that the last sight you will ever see is her" Raoul pointed to a weeping Christine."And I leaving you to die, here in a cemetery seems fitting doesn't it, you being a living corpse" he chuckled "well not for long that is"

All Erik could do was lay in the snow, with a swords blade placed dangerously along his neck. Even then Erik did not panic there was no fear in his eyes, he had dealt with the facts, and death did not matter to him. What was life without Christine if she did not want him than what more was there to living. . .

"your words betray you viscount, you don't want to kill me." Erik glanced at Christine once again, she stared in silent horror at what she was seeing before her very eyes, her angel and her love, either way she was sure no matter what she did one of them was going to die, inside she couldn't distinguish which was which though.

"oh I don't do I. You have now idea how much I would love to kill you, here and now". Raouls anger fumed with every second.

"Do you honestly think you two would live happily ever after?" Erik scoffed. "your just a boy, take a look does she really love you? Emotion consumed Raoul, drawing back his sword like the trigger of a gun just seconds away from going off.

"Stop! Please Raoul don't! please, cant we just leave, oh please." Christine was sobbing as she walked up to Raoul, as he stood frozen. She gently pressed his arm down.

In an attempt to calm him.

"It cant happen like this-not like this". Backing up slowly she drew him to her. "Come with me, well go away, far away and forget". Raoul stroked her golden locks of hair, and traced the lines of her face with the tip of his fingers.

"Christine, it can end now, isn't that what you want. We don't have to go away, let me save you from this nightmare". She let out a faint smile "you already have, now please lets just leave".

Raoul caressed her cheek wantonly, he secretly wished he truly knew how she felt, yes she loved him…but, she loves him too even if she did try to deny it. Would she really ever give up a part of her life so large as a career, He knew without any doubt in his mind that she could achieve it, in fact all three of them new it.

But, after this would she ever attempt it? No, she would not, who would want an empty prize.

He turned away from Erik in submission to Christine. Christine took one more glance at Erik he stood tall small paced pants escaped his mouth. He looked her straight in the eyes and she in return did the same. Erik's eyes though, they showed no sign of sadness or remorse, nor revenge or hate but of love and what freighted her most she just saw patience and she could not look away. Raoul felt her tense up as she stared.

His mouth opened to yell at what he saw and heard, but could not utter a single word at the glory of this ghosts enthralling voice.

"Christine, Tell him the truth, You don't love him, Your Angel is here to care for you, Come back with me, with the beauty of our music, we will be together, Come to me."

To Raouls Despair She stepped forward…"No!" Raoul cried. He turned back to Erik his sword fully drawn back,

"Enough, You wont deceive her again!"
