Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character's in the story.

A/N~ I love the movie and I always secretly hope Satine doesn't die. And wonder what would happen if she didn't, so, I decided to write a fan fiction with what I think would happen. Please no flames just if u can find anywhere for me to improve let me know. I will only update if I get good reviews. I don't want to drag on a horrible story.

Christian burst onto the stage with tears of fury running down his angered face. He screamed words of rage at the beautiful courtesan, "I've paid my whore!" He threw a bundle of money in Satine's face, turned and began to walk down the aisle towards the exit of the Moulin rouge. He was only centimeters from leaving when he heard the angelic voice, beckoning to him from the stage. The words, the ones he and Satine and he had written in his apartment, "Never knew I could feel like this, like I've never seen the sky before, want to vanish inside your kiss, every day I love you more and more, listen to my heart, can you hear it sing? Telling me to give you everything, Seasons may change, winter to spring But I love you until the end of time," Christian span around to see Satine, standing at the front of the stage, glaring at him with lust. He joined in, he sang with her.

The duke sat in his front row seat. He was turning green with envy and at the same time, red with rage. He signaled to his body guard to kill Christian. He wanted the writer dead! Gone forever, so he could be with Satine. His attempts were unsuccessful. The whole cast saw the love, the bond, that the couple shared. They all helped protect them, with success.

The duke stood up and stormed off towards the exit. The bodyguard's gun flew down the aisle, landing behind the duke. He turned and picked up the gun. He charged at the stage in a state of fury. Sidler saw him and knocked him out with one swift punch to the head.

He couple happily paraded around the stage, blinded by their love for each other. Satine had forgotten the words Sidler had spoken to her, those ones that frightened her into turning Christian away on the first place, "If he comes near you again, the duke will have him.killed!"

Behind stage Satine told Christian that they had no choice but to run, far away, and start a fresh. Christian looked at her in dismay, "I thought we were okay now, I mean the duke is gone." His voice was shaky. Satine looked at him with a gleam of lust in her eye, "yes, but the duke holds the deeds still. If he is constantly reminded of me, and what you took from him, he may destroy everything Sidler has!" The pair was interrupted by the curtain call.

Chapter 2: the pair runs away to try and find a safe place to hide for a while.
