She turned again. 'Why did I let this happen! Why, why?' she screamed while choking down sobs. Christine opened up her eyes but saw only pitch black.

(5 years earlier)

'Christine…. Christine…. wake up darling.' Raoul said gently, but he wanted this done quickly. Christine stirred and looked up with her brown eyes.

'What time is it dear?' she asked for it was still dark.

'It is early my dear for we are going to visit a friend. We are leaving shortly.' He replied. 'Please hurry and get dressed.'

'Fine my dear.' She said and kissed Raoul before he left. Christine then softly began to hum, a little joyful tune she had heard Erik hum. 'Why am I thinking about him?' Christine asked herself,

'Because you love him' answered the little voice in her head.

'I know I love him, but I was betrothed to Raoul. I wonder whom we will be visiting.'

'I don't know but I don't like this feeling.' answered her voice.

'Just be quiet.' she whispered to her head as her servant walked in. Her name was Stephanie.

She was tall and had a soft golden brown skin, like toast, and her hair was molasses brown.

'She looks so beautiful.' thought Christine. 'Any man would die for her.'

'Can I help you Madame? Master said he would like you to wear this,' she said, pulling out a handsome mint green traveling dress from the cherry wardrobe.

'Yes, Stephanie, but I would like you to call me Christine.' replied Christine.

'Sorry Madame, Master wants me to call you Madame.'

'Well I will have to talk to him then, won't I.' hiss Christine.

'It is not my place.' Stephanie said, and then started to pull on the corset's cords.

After this, Christine did not talk to Stephanie, but was thinking about what she would do to convince Raoul. She was quickly absorbed as her mind turned to Erik.

'He is so lovely, I wish I could see him again.' She thought.

'Madame….. Madame. Master there is something wrong with Christine.' Stephanie yelled as she ran to Raoul's study. Breathlessly she knocked on the door and yelled, 'Master come quickly. I can't bring Christine back. She can't hear me.'

'What! You can't bring Christine back!' he shouted as he pushed Stephanie out of the way.

'Christine I am coming!' he yelled as he ran to their room.

He paced the room. He did that more often, ever since Christine left. She had come to tell him that Raoul was threatening to kill him if she ever thought of him.

'That is not fair!' he yelled to Nadir who was silently watching Erik pace. 'Why are you not talking Nadir?'

'He is going to come here. We must leave while we can.'

'What! Why? We can't just leave!' he snapped. 'What if she needs me? I won't be there to help her. What do I do? What to I do?' he said, running his fingers through his hair.

'We must leave. He might come back and kill you.' Nadir replied calmly.

'Fine,' Erik said after an uncomfortable silence, 'We will leave, but still stay in this area.'

'Yes, Erik. We can stay at my house. It is not as grand but it will do.'

'I hope you know what you are thinking.'

'If I am wrong Erik, then you would have had just a little vacation.'

Erik sighed. He knew Nadir was right, but he just didn't want to believe him
