I have a worrying amount of homework that I've had to tackle over the past
week or so, I've also published some poems on this site, I hope you
wonderful reviewers will care to take a look! I hope you like my review I
give it all back to Mr.Black, I really enjoyed the letter, and I'm
currently in the middle of 'Why does my heart cry' which I was reading
before I published this, I never released before that it was the same Tani
who wrote that story who reviewed me! It feels as though someone famous has
read it!. I really hope you all enjoy the next chapter, thank you all so
much for being so kind! Except for that one you might of read, well, later
on I read their story (that I apparently copied) and reviewed it.mwuahaha
(lol-why is there not rum). Anyway thank you again, keep on reviewing and
enjoy.Hollyxxx

'Duke I.' Satine whispered. He had emerged from the open door, which had filled the hallway with light, slowly followed by Warner who held a gun pointing right at Satines forehead.
'I don't take kindly to people who try run away from me' he walked up to her slowly, looking her straight in the eyes. He stood behind her and whispered in her ear, 'That's why I'm going to kill you'
Tears poured down Satines face, she dropped all her bags on the floor. Their plan had failed, then suddenly she realised something. 'You can't kill me!'
'What?' the Duke laughed,
'You need me, for the show and, and you love me don't you?'
'Rubbish!' The Duke said, although Satine began to notice his insecurity, 'Do you think I am in the least bit troubled about your little show?'
'You're troubled about me-'
'Silence!' the Duke went red in the face as he shouted. Then realised he was being to loud and glanced around to see if he'd woken anyone up, 'I'll be more than happy to see you or that worthless writer dead'
'You don't scared me Duke, I'm leaving. There's nothing you can do to stop me. That gun is a threat and that is all, you don't have a cold enough heart to kill me' Satine turned but having the chance to pick up her bags, the Duke grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her closer to him so they were face to face. He attempted to kiss her but she backed up, 'Ha, no-ones ever loved you, have they Duke? No-ones ever shown that they care like I did. You've always had to pay for love, you must be so lonely'
'You made me believe that you loved me'
'Yes. It must have been a great shock, am I right? To experience what it's like for the first time and then to realise it was all a lie. I've never loved you Duke and I never will. You'd better stop believing that it's true. You can't force me to love you, so just let me leave. You never know, maybe you'll be lucky, maybe someday you'll find someone as selfish, stubborn, rich and as desperate as you' the Duke loosened his grip and with a tug, Satine released herself from his grip. She began to collect up her bags, the Duke just stood there, frozen.
The Duke and Warner were whispering between each other as Satine picked up the last one, she ignored them, whatever it was it wasn't worth hearing, 'Goodbye Duke' She said as she continued walking down the corridor, without bothering to look at him.
BANG
Satine jumped. She turned around slowly and gasped. The light from inside the room that the door had opened from spotlighted the Dukes body lying motionless on the floor. A gun lay in his right hand and blood had begun to trickle from his forehead. The Duke had killed himself. Warner had disappeared Satine felt an enormous wave of guilt fly over her at the sight of him. He had only wanted someone to love him, she had thrown him out of his fantasy world and told him everything he'd tried to ignore without a care in the world for his feelings. She had destroyed him, so much so that he'd decided to take his own life.
She could hear movements from inside the rooms each side of her so she began to run. Doors opened and screams echoed all the way down the corridor. Satines head ached, what had she done? She decided to go back to Christian and pretend that it never happened.
The door to Christian's flat burst open, Satine looked around and began to panic when she couldn't see him. Then she noticed him curled up on his side, in the bed, fast asleep.
Satine put her bags on the floor, she moved his suitcase and typewriter from the bed and put them next to hers in a neat pile. She fell on the bed and cuddled up to Christian. She moved so close to him that their noses nearly touched and she moved a hand down his peaceful face, 'You'll love me no matter what I've done won't you?' She whispered, 'Don't ever leave me'. Christian didn't reply but put his left arm over her and squeezed her tighter to him. Satine kissed him on the lips, 'Love you'. Before long she was in a deep sleep too and they lay together in the few last hours of darkness before a new day and a new life for Satine began.
