A/N Okay, I got three good reviews and one about how my charcter woud not have said whatever in the Victorian age and that my story sucks so far(at least they read to chapter three...), Oops, Ididn't think about that, but it was a minor error so, oh well, I did get one who helped with my ending...Thank You! So here is Chapter 10!
Chapter 10: Disaster Occurs
Gwen sat watching the preformance, did no one realize that that was not Piangi singing? Were they that blind? Oh Yeah... I forgot, They are... Gwen smiled a little...
"Past the point of no return, the final threshhold! The Bridge is crossed so stand and watch it burn... We've past the point of no return..." Gwen watched and felt a painful sadness wash over her, Erik was singing those words to her now. Why? He love's me doesn't he? Gwen hadn't seen Erik since she'd almost left, she wondered if he knew that she was here? Probably, after all he knew everything that went on in his theater. Gwen watched nervously, hoping that maybe, just maybe, Christine would not actually take the mask from Erik's face. She did and just as Andrew Lloyd Webber had written it, Erik took her. Gwen screamed.
"No!" She took off running, wondering if her dreams would come true, those horrible dreams of Erik's death. She ran and then jumped taking the same route that Erik had taken. She ran and ran down the stairs. She felt a stich in her side and her lungs felt as though they were filled with ice, but still she ran. She ran for what felt like years.
"Pitiful Creature of darkness!" She ran harder. A few minutes passed, though they felt like hours, and then she tripped. She screamed as she fell. The pian over whelmed her, would the falling never end? Then she heard voices, like in her dream "Pitiful creature...Past the point of no return...I am your angel... I am there inside... This is your choice... Think of me fondly... I am your angel... Poor fool... You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you... Christine I love you...Love me that's all I ask of you... Christine...Christine..." Would the falling...the pain ever stop? She felt something in her neck snap... The pain shot through her like hot needles and then suddenly it all stopped as her head it the grond with a crack and the pain was unbearable...
Erik heard the scream and fought every instinc t that told him to turn... Christine had just kissed him, but it did not have the same effect as Melody's kiss... Erik felt the tears buruning hot trails down his face... The sobs came after he heard the sicking crack, he didn't have to look to know what had happened...
"Melody..." The name was like a prayer to him... Christine looked at him with knowing eyes "Take her forget me, forget all of this... " He sobbed. "Leave me alone forget all you've seen, go now don't let them find you! Take the boat swear to me never to tell... the secret you know of the Angel in hell!" His secret, Melody... "Go now! Go now and leave me!" He turned his back to them and went to Melody's body... Her breathing was harsh and shallow. He could see that she had broken her neck and split the backof her head open when she finally reach the bottom of the winding staircase... Her beautiful gloden hair was matted and soaked in her own blood. She was so beautiful... And their child... their child would never see the world... Erik held Melody close and began to sob...
"Melody.. my beautiful Melody..."
Gwen heard his voice as the darkness closed in around her. It hurt so much to breathe... she must have broken a few ribs... Then there was the apin in her head... hell she just plain hurt... She could feel her life slipping away from her as Erik held her...
"Erik..." Her voice was barely a whisper...
"Yes my love... my beautiful melody..." His voice was choked by sobs and it broke her heart to hear it...
"I-I'm so..." She cried out in pain... it hurt so much..."I'm sorry my love... I- I love you..." and the darkness took her completly...
Erik felt Melody shudder and the she was still, completely lifeless... He let a long moarnful cry and pulled her body closer to him...
"You alone can make my song take flight... It's over now the Music of the Night!" He carried her body and began kickingout his mirrors in his rage to find the one that led out... when he found it he carried her body with him so that he could bury her and say his final goodbyes and there would be no one to comfort him, to shre his pain, never again... He lost the only person to ever care for him...
