"Ulterior Motives"
Author's note: I'm amazed. I'm honestly amazed. I've never gotten such a positive reaction to my fics before. Thank you, everyone who reviewed! You've raised my self esteem 58 points! ::laughs:: Anyway. I'm trying to write a chapter a day (or every other day, depending on homework, tests, etc…) so, at the rate the story is going, I'd say it should be done within a week or so. Maybe longer, if I decide to make this into more of an "epic", though I don't know how. Well. This chapter is going to be rather short, as my teachers have decided to pile 5 tests (including an English essay) on me tomorrow and as much as I despise it, I must study.
And one last note. I was originally gonna make this kind of in Erik's POV (although third person) but I think it'd be nice to get into Raoul's POV every so often to see what's going on in his head while all this is happening. So this chapter is our first example of this.

Chapter 3 – Unanswered Questions
*Raoul's POV*
Amazing. Truly amazing. One day you think everything is normal, nothing can be better, and then one small thing comes into the picture and turns it all around. From bliss and perfection, down to nothing more than doubts and confusion. What was he saying? Christine, beware of Christine… why?
What did he mean? Shes… Christine. Perfect in every way, with the voice of an angel. What is there to beware? Or wasn't it her voice… something about her voice…
Why did he have to be so confusing? Why did he even talk to me in the first place? I just wanted to be with Christine, just to bring back the friendship that we used to share. I remember when we used to spend all our days together, when all we wanted was to be with each other.
But it could not be. We had to leave each other. But now, I've found her again.
Unfortuntately, our passion has cooled. If only we could get back to where we used to be. If only it could go back to that time where perfection was just a touch away. Life used to be perfect. If only I could get that back.
But now, after I have found her again, it seems that everything has changed. I thought she was the same, innocent, beautiful Christine that I left behind so many, and yet, so few years ago. I thought that I had found my future. And now I am told that she has a secret. A deep, dangerous secret.That she is no longer the same, wonderful girl that I used to know.
And who is this voice that talked to me, that called me from the darkness and told me to have caution. Is he trying to make me wary? To destroy the hopes I had? To tell me small truths, mix them with lies and deceit, and wish me to give away all chance of perfection? Or is he simply trying to warn me? Does he truly care?Who is he?
Only time will tell…
