HaHa this is a cool chappie, and I think you guys are gonna like it (well, at least I hope you will). I might end it here, if you guys think I should, or I can keep going.. it all depends on you guys and what you think!

Disclaimer: I do not, for the last time (or is it? depends on you guys!) own PotO. I really really really wish I did, but I don't. I own Anna (and I really really really really really wish I was her in this chappie!).


The next day, when he was sure Anna was alone, Erik stole down the hill. He carefully pulled the sliding glass doors open, and stepped into the house. Anna, as he had known, was in her room. No music came through the speakers of her stereo, which made it even harder for Erik to walk down the hallway unnoticed (He did accomplish it, though).

Erik stood, staring at the almost completely closed door with a frown on his face, and sighed. What is Anna decided, even after she knew he was real, that she didn't love him anymore? Would he be able to handle it?

A little late for doubt... he thought grimly as he pushed the door open with a creaking sound that made him wince slightly. He saw Anna turn her chair around sharply in surprise, her eyes wide with fear.

She saw him, and her eyes filled instantly with tears of sadness. After a long time, she spoke."Why, Erik? Why won't you just let me be? You know I loved you once, but you're just not real... You were once, in 1861, but that was way before my time... I don't want to see you anymore. It pains me too much. Please go away," she sobbed, her voice steady even though she was trembling.

"Anna, you're wrong. I am real," Erik whispered, taking slow steps into the room. Anna looked at him sadly. She wanted to believe him, but she knew (even if it wasn't really true) that he was lying.

"You've said that before. I want to believe you, Erik, I really do, but you aren't real. You just aren't."

"Anna-"

"No! Go away! Leave me alone! I hate you!" Anna yelled, and she turned away from him and leaned her head against the wall. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and Erik could hear her crying softly to herself. He hesitated for a second, then suddenly knew what he had to do.

" Beautiful child in darkness...

What kind of grief have you known?

I love you and I will show you

You are not alone!" Erik seized Anna's shoulders and whirled her around. Before she could stop him, he covered her mouth with his.

Anna's body stiffened and she stared at Erik's cheek, which was pressed gently against hers. Erik wrapped his arms loosely around her waist, then finally pulled his lips away.

Anna's breath came in deep, long gasps for air. Her chest rose and fell slightly every time she inhaled and exhaled. Her dark eyes were open wide as she gazed into Erik's bright, blue ones, and he watched as the sparkle grew and grew until her eyes glittered like he had seen them do before.

"Er... Erik?" she breathed, her voice barely above the squeak of a mouse. She had felt him. Had felt his lips... against hers. She had felt his arms around her. She had heard his voice, singing in her ears. He was... real.

"Anna..."

"Oh, Erik!" she cried, and her eyes filled with tears of joy as she fell into the arms of her true love. She couldn't believe it. Erik, her love and angel, was real, and he was holding her tightly.

Anna couldn't have said, even approximately, how long they stood there, holding each other as though they would be parted forever if they let go. She just knew that she felt wonderful, as though light was slowly filling her back up again.

Erik knew about as much as Anna did when it came to how long they were standing there together. He only remembered one thing about the whole experience, which was what they said at the end:

"Anna, I love you..."

"I love you, too."


HaHa I love this chappie! It's so romantic! Do you guys think I should end it here, or keep going? I have another ending (which I won't tell you about yet HaHa!) that I can use if I keep going, so do you think I should? Tell me in a review, my much-loved reviewers!
