Jasper had been busy planning all night long and now that it was almost time for the show he was ready to put his plan in to action. Soon Alice would in his world with him and nobody would ever be able to take her away. She would be where she belonged, in the darkness with him. The honey blonde felt as if she had given him no other choice. His Alice had driven him to doing this and so as he saw it he had no other choice in the matter. A man who is pushed to the edge and feels he is at the last resort will do whatever it takes and the masked man had finally reached that point.

It was when he heard the applause for the first break that he decided it was time to get ready. He secured his cape to his body and reached down to pat his cat. "I will be back soon with Alice. She will finally be with us where she belongs. For now my loyal pet you need to stay hidden. They may come looking here in the basement so I have decided that for a while at least we will go down further in to the hidden catacombs. I shall see you there Mr. Fuzzy Boots."

The cat meowed before prancing off in the other direction leaving his owner to do whatever it is needed to do. Jasper quickly made his way through the tunnels and up the abandoned balcony. The fourth act was coming up and that is when Alice had a solo and he had figured out the timing perfectly. He would make his move then and nobody would be able to reach them in time. For the time being though he surveyed the crowd of people. He scowled hating them all on sight because truth is told they would hate him on sight because of his scars. They would immediately judge him and so he felt he had the right to judge them.

When it came time for Alice's solo he stood up and watched her for a few minutes. She was absolutely beautiful in a red ball gown and her hair curled slightly. The voice of angel reached his ears and Jasper could not help it when he smiled. Seeing her, hearing her, being near her did that to him. It is one of the reasons he needed her around. She could be the light to his darkness. He needed her light now that he had gotten a taste. There is just no way in the world he would ever be able to go back to how he had been before.

After a few moments he realized it was time to make his move since her solo was almost over. Walking to the very edge of the balcony he stood up on the banister grabbing a rope that held up some of the curtains. Taking out a knife from his pocket he managed to cut and grab the end as he swung to the stage. People gasped in shock wondering what was going on. Those of them who had never seen the show before thought maybe it was a part of the next act, but soon realized they were wrong when others started screaming.

Finally reaching the stage Jasper grabbed Alice with one hand since he still held the rope with another. When she struggled not understanding what was going on, he hissed in her hear. "You gave me no other choice my Alice. If you will not make the decision on your own to come with me I will have to make you. Just know that it pains me knowing we had to do things this way."

"Alice!" Edward had finally made his way to stage pushing his way past other people when he found in the arms of a masked man. It was the Phantom and he couldn't wrap his mind around it. He had thought they were stories, but now he knew the stories had been true and if they were true that meant Alice could be in trouble.

Jasper growled when he heard Edward approaching. He held Alice tightly and used his other hand to cut another rope nearby. He latched on to it with one hand as a trap door opened up and he and the small female disappeared down the hole. The rope had been connected to the chandelier and now the beautiful glass chandelier come tumbling down in to the crowd killing a few people upon impact and injuring many others. People ran around terrified not sure what they should be doing. Edward was trying to get to his feet so he could go after Alice, but he noticed Angela was trapped partway under some rubble. It appeared as if her left leg was caught and he knew he could not leave her there. He would help her and then he would go after Alice because honestly there were not many places that man could take her.

Meanwhile Jasper was dragging Alice through many tunnels with many twists and turns. He was ranting as he did so. "Did you think I could let you go? You started this my Alice when you pursued me. You were so caught up in finding my identity that you never thought of the consequences well I am here to tell that these are your consequences."

"You didn't give me enough time!" She cried trying to keep up with his quick pace since she was so small and he was dragging her behind him. "I just needed some more time to figure everything out!"

"Well your time is up!" He snapped back. "I have made your choice for you and I don't care whether you like it or not. You are mine Alice and you are going to stay that way even if I have to force you in to doing so."

AN: A short chapter, but I have a really good reason for that. I leave for Boston Monday so I have a lot of stuff that I need to get done and yet I wanted to post this so I hope that you all liked it and I would love to hear your thoughts since you know I love hearing what you think. Don't be too hard on Jasper though because he really feels as if he was given no other choice. I am not sure if I will be able to post before I leave, but I will try to on my trip since I am not sure how long I will be gone.
