Emilie waited, and when Christine finally nodded to her, she put on the wig, Emilie handed Christine a change of clothes as she went to the side of the stage. Looking around, Jon sat with Raoul, as the crowd gave an air of discomfort. Emilie glared at Jon, she had to admit, he was a good actor, grabbing the basket, Emilie walked out on stage. "No thoughts within her head but thoughts of joy, no dreams within her heart but dreams of love," as she fiddled with the flowers, Don Juan came out. "Passarino- Go away for the trap, it is set and waits for its prey," Emilie instantly became nervous, she had an inkling it might happen, but now that she was here and it was happening, she was; as the song states: Past the Point of No Return. "You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish until now has been silent...Silent," Emilie looked up at Raoul, who's eyes widened in surprise, seeing she was okay. Erik nearly stopped seeing those green eyes, but continued, "I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge," Emilie's heart beat fast in her chest, Erik heard it, she knew he did, when his fangs shown just a fraction.
In your mind you've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me, no second thoughts
You've decided, decided
Past the point of no return
No backward glances
The games we've played till now are at an end
Past all thought of if or when
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend..."
"What raging FIRE shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door?" Erik came around, one arm around her waist, the hand gently touching her neck sliding it down to the pendant just over her breast. His arm slid down to her arm as he held her hand, "What sweet seduction lies before us?" Erik saw the look in Emilie's eyes, and smiled as he kissed her hand softly.
"Past the point of no return
The final threshold?
What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn
Beyond the point of no return"
"You have brought me
To that moment where words run dry
To that moment where speech disappears into silence
Silence
I have come here
Hardly knowing the reason why"
Emilie looked at him the eye, acting, like she had to.
"In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining, defenseless and silent
And now I am here with you, no second thoughts
I've decided, decided
Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion play has now at last begun
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud bursts into bloom?
When will the flames at last consume us?"
At the top of the steps, Erik flipped his cape, throwing it on the railing.
"Past the point of no return,
The final threshold,
The bridge is crossed, so Stand!
And watch it burn,
We've passed the point of no return..."
Erik held her there, her back to him, and he looked over to see Christine replace Jon in the box. "Say you'll share with me, One love, One lifetime..." Erik started, the crowd had a feeling of sincerity, like they knew why there was sadness in his voice. He looked down at the brown curled wig, he knew it wasn't Christine. "Lead me, Save me from my solitude...Say you want me with you here beside you..." Erik turned her, missing his raven, in the motion, he threw off her wig, and her long, straight ebony locks fell in freedom. He held her hands in his own, "Anywhere you go let me go to, Emilie, that's all I ask of you!" Emilie was speechless, but she smiled, and he touched her face. But suddenly, her eyes went wide, seeing Jon, and his mask was ripped from his face, Erik turned to look at the man, then turned to Emilie. She glared at Jon as she reach for Erik's belt and cut the rope, Jon looked at her in anger, but then surprise as Erik kicked the trap door, as they fell trough.
