A/N: I know this chapter may seem completely R/C but it WILL get better I swear.
Just give it time. This is just a short chapter. I needed to get something in tonight.
Amanda, please don't hate the very cool person known as me. And answer my e-
mails, please. I will try for another chapter tonight but I can't make any guarantees.
Christine's choice.
I looked at them in udder dismay. I wanted to run from them both into a corner and
hide.
No, no more hiding. This is my choice which I must make alone. I love Erik and
always will. Come what may.
This was indeed something that had to be done. I kissed him out of love, not pity,
not pleading for Raouls freedom, but love. I could only hope he knew that.
I could hear the mob, they were approaching fast. At last the silence between us
was broken, but not with the words I had hoped for.
Forget me,
Forget all of this . . .
Leave me alone - forget all you've seen . . .
Go now - don't let them find you!
Take the boat, Leave me here, go now don't wait
Just take her and go before it's too late
Go now - go now and leave me!
I wanted to stay there. I really wanted to. I just couldn't once Raoul grabbed my
arm I had no choice. I could feel his eyes on me as we disappeared into the mist. I
looked back only once and the face I saw was not of my angel, I had just broken it's
wings.
Would my angel be able to reach heaven?
I knew that if I lived a thousand years I would regret that choice every single
moment of them. I turned my head away not wanting to look into those pleading
eyes.
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name...
I had a feeling that I would never forget that voice. I looked at Raoul who seemed
well, like a man who had just had his head in a noose, almost killed. There was no
expression for it. I felt like my heart split in two that night,
but sometimes things don't split right down the middle...
