I'm back and better than ever( and so is the story) but now I present to you:

Chapter 3

I won't take her back, I won't, I can't. I'm saying what we had was a misguided fling. It would never work out! I'm not her type. She wouldn't be happy.

My one and only commitment to Christine is if Raoul hurts her. Then I will kill Raoul, but I won't take her back. I will let her know how it feels to be alone without someone you loved.

Raoul walked into the room calling for Christine.

"Christine come here. Christine? CHRISTINE! THERE IS NO USE HIDING FROM ME! IF YOU COME NOW, THEN I WON'T HURT YOU AS BADLY! CHRISTINE, I WILL FIND YOU!

Raoul began sweeping through the room knocking over lamps and chairs, breaking them. His fury rose when he found the note on her stand. He came to a halt and read the note. Part way through he stopped, noticing the tear stains on it. When I find you I'll give you something to really cry about he thought. After reading the rest he began to laugh.

"Him leaving ME dead! Only in his dreams! He is smart though, not taking her back. He knows he can't kill me.

"Erik? Erik? Where are you?"

Christine was wandering through the twisted maze that Erik called home. So far he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't find him."

"Maybe you'll go back to your beloved Raoul where you belong."

She shrieked and spun around only to come face to face with a cactus. Always the interior decorator she thought wryly.

"Or maybe this is what you do best. Go and break your teacher's heart and then come begging for forgiveness! And what will Raoul do? You've broken his heart. If I hurt you, will you go running back to him? Are you just going to volley back and forth between us? You made up your mind when you left! Now get out!

His voice came from a completely new direction this time.

Christine realized that she was caught in a torture chamber that had not been there when she left.

Erik what have you done!

"See when you have no one to love, then you get bored fast. I can now trap you in 3 more locations. Hehe!"

"Erik let me out! Please. I need to talk to you."

"Why would you want to talk to me, a hideous monster. Pretty boy Raoul is much more your type."

"He isn't a pretty boy anymore!"

"Oh? Was he horribly disfigured in a fire? If so then why are you talking to me?"

"That came out wrong."

"No you think"

"What I mean is he-"

"-he isn't gorgeous and nice anymore, so you need somebody to talk to for support. No! Get out!"

"Let me out and let me finish!

A sigh came from behind the door

Wait since when is there a door?

The handle turned and the door opened, the Phantom stood there in all his glory

"Is this what you wanted to talk to? Or this?"

He placed his mask on his face.

"Either one, I don't care, you know I don't"

He left his mask on but said a tad bit more kindly " What's he done?"

"I got your note and I came because this is what he's done-"

She raised up her sleeve again and showed him the mark.

His eyes softened but he didn't say anything.

He went to go get a salve to put on it but suddenly stopped. He spun a round and asked in a deadly voice " Where did you leave it?"

"Leave what?"

"The note"

"Ummm, on my stand I think. Why?"

"Raoul."

"He won't come here. He doesn't know how."

"Yes he does, he saw it when I brought him that , that, that time."

"Oh."

"If he finds it-"

"Find what?" asked a voice that was neither Erik's nor Christine.

A/Ns: Ha a cliffie although we know who it is-maybe. Put everything you think into the place where it'll do the most damage- (sorry Sam)- in a Review (or a flame) More original plotline yet? I think so. Sam I have broken the curse, you should be proud

( I swear I have had a phobia of chapter 3s; this is the first one I've posted for 4 stories)
