I do not own any of the POTO characters, nor do I clam to.

Right Where I Belong

Christine looked back over her shoulder as she glided away with Raoul in the gondola. She saw her Angel sitting with his head in his hands, and she knew that he was crying. "Stop Raoul, Please." Raoul gave her a questioning look. "Why?" "I can't go back with you. I once loved you, but no more. My heart is now with my Angel." Raoul looked at her in disbelief, but saw the truth in her eyes. "Go if you must. In fact, I don't love you any more either." It killed him to say the words, but he knew that they were what she wanted, no NEEDED to hear. "Thank you Raoul." She gave him a soft peck on his cheek, and then jumped out of the boat. She half swam, half ran back to her Angel. She looked upon him with love, and hoped that he would still love her after what she had done to him. "Angel?" Christine asked in a small voice, not knowing what her Angel would say. "Angel. Is that all you think of me as? Do you see wings and a halo?" the man growled at her, head still in his hands. "You're my Angel of Music." "I HAVE A NAME!" he shouted jumping from the wooden chair he had been sitting in for so long. Christine jumped backwards from fright. "Then please tell me what it is." She said in a soft voice to calm his temper. "My name is Erik. I'm no angel. You have seen that Christine, yet you insist on calling me that." "You were and are my protector." "No. That foolish boy that waits for you is your protector, the one that you want to be with." Erik said, glowering at her. "I sent him away. This is where I belong."

This is my first fan fiction, so tell me what you think!
