Chapter 11-Aftermath Of Funeral

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Phantom!

Christine: about time you've updated! It's been at least a week now!

Me: hehe. Sorry about that. I was at newport over the weekend and somehow I can't upload a document for at least two days about.

Raoul: excuses, excuses.

Me: I'm telling the truth!

Erik: can we get onto the next chapter please?

Me: oh, heh. Well, here it is...

The funeral was so sad and depressing as I stood beside Raoul as Blaire sat with the other children as we've watched the coffin put in it's place in the ground. I knew I should be feeling sad about now since I hadn't seen Raoul's father for a very long time, but I wasn't sad since I was thinking about Erik.

Raoul knew that something was wrong, he had known him for a long time and he knew me well as much as my father knew me. Philippe was about to cry as well as Raoul's mother was crying loudly, I could hear her sob all the way where we were standing at as Raoul didn't want to sit in the front with his family since he didn't want to cry.

Raoul looked at me as I was staring straight ahead without eye contacting him. "Christine, I know there's something wrong. What is it?" He asked as I ignored him, "Christine?" He asked as he put an comforting hand on my shoulder as I jumped slightly and I looked up towards him who was staring at me still.

"Nothing's wrong Raoul. I just miss your father, that's all," I replied with a smile as Raoul blinked. "'that's all?' Are you sure Christine? It seems that something's bothering you," he said as I shook my head, "well then, if that's the case, could I speak with you after the funeral privately before going home?"

I thought about it for a moment as I nodded and Raoul smiled as we both watched the funeral.

We hugged and kissed people on the cheek as they were leaving. "Raoul, are you coming home later?" Philippe asked as he stared at his brother as Mrs. De Chagny stood beside him, "of course. Although I'll be coming home later in the evening so you don't have to wait up for me," Raoul said with a smile as Philippe punched him on the arm playfully.

"Alright boys. We don't want to harm our guest, do we?" Mrs. De Chagny asked as Philippe smiled as he stuck out his tongue at his brother playfully as Raoul snickered and mother and son left as Raoul and I were now left alone. "What is it Raoul?" I asked nicely as Raoul looked at me, "I want us to be together and I was thinking that we should leave the country."

I gasped at him, "what?" I asked shocked as Raoul glared at me. "Leave the country. Perhaps go to England or somewhere," he began as I looked away. "I can't leave," I began as Raoul grabbed me, "why? Is it because of that pathetic monster?" He spat as I turn to stare at him angrily.

"Don't you dare call him that! Erik is a better man then you!" I exclaimed as Raoul laughed, "then let me see you leave me. If you do, I will hunt down your lover Erik and kill him in front of you," he threatened as I shook my head as my eyes were at the verge of tears. "Mommy? Are we going home?"

We both looked down and saw Blaire tugging on my pants, "I thought you went with Philippe and Mrs. De Chagny?" I asked as Blaire shook her head. "I want to go with you," she replied as I sighed, I picked her up as I carried her as Raoul stopped me. "We are going back home tomorrow early morning," he reminded me as I nodded.

Raoul walked with me to our waiting carriage as we sat inside and left as Raoul dropped me and Blaire off at the mansion as Raoul had some business to do on his own. I sighed, Erik, I will come to you. Just wait for me.
