Falling Into Darkness

Bethy woke up early the next morning. Her eyes were heavy from lack of sleep. But she was still down on her hands and knees cleaning. She always cleaned when she was stressed.

All of a sudden, a hand came around her, covering her mouth. Fear ran through her entire body.

"Here are the rules," came a voice that she had heard only days ago. "You keep your little mouth shut, and no one gets hurt," Raoul's hand left her mouth. Her sword was in sight, only a few feet away. Quickly she put on her father's ways.

"Viscount Raoul DeChangy, I might have known by your pathetic attempt of a kidnapping. I must say though, you're very predictable," Bathy was already inching her way to her sword. "But then again," she said sighing, she arms behind her back grabbing her weapon, "My father always says, never trust a fop!"

With that, the fight begun. Everything he threw at her she blocked. She moved with elegance and grace.

"You're as graceful as your mother, and as feisty as you father. You have his eyes you know, his deep wicked, murderous eyes," Anger filled her dark eyes and she lunged out in hate. He parried her attack, and stopped.

"You're just as angry as him too. You know I see so little of Christine in you. Instead, I see your father, the Phantom of the Opera. One day you'll end up like him all alone, for you are so much like him." She looked at him you cool eyes.

"No, I am my own person. My name is Elisabeth, and I say you shall burn in hell!" With that the fight went on. Neither saw Christine and Erik emerge from the room from the racket.

"Bethy!" they both screamed.

"Dad!" she yelled back. In that moment, Raoul had Bethy's arm behind her back, in a death grip. There was dead silence.

"Don't move or she gets killed," Raoul said holding his knife to her cream colored throat. Christine's eyes held sadness at first, then they turned to hate.

"You evil person!" she spat at him. "Why are you doing this?'

"Let her go Raoul!" Erik demanded his sword at the ready.

"Ah, the famous Opera Ghost, we meet again. I believe every time we encounter each other, we are fighting over a lady. Oh, yes, but this lady, in a way is more special to you. She's a part of you, Erik. She's your child. Most likely the only child you'll ever have. What will you do when she's gone?" Erik lunged, and their fight erupted.

Bethy saw the rearing fire in the corner, and got an idea. She grabbed Raoul, but not before his knife went flying through the air.

"No one EVER tries to hurt my father," she yelled, her face bright red. At that moment, two things happened at the same time.

Bethy flung Raoul face first into the fire place, and Raoul's knife landed in Erik's chest. Several cries were yelled at the same time, some of agony, others from shock.

Erik fell to the ground, blood pouring from the wound. Christine ran to her lover's side. Bethy was to paralyzed to move. And then, Raoul moved from the fire, with a serious third degree burn on his once perfect face. Christine turned to him, tears falling down her face. Yet, her voice when she spoke, was so calm, yet filled with hate.

"Now you will know what it is like to wear a mask your whole life, Raoul." He ran. He ran so fast, Bethy almost never saw him leave. She looked at her father's bloodied form, and for the first time in so long, she cried.

Her body suddenly seemed week, her mind swirled. Then for the first time, Christine her daughter sing.

"You will curse the dayyou did not do, all that the phantom asked of you!"

Bethy fell unconscious.

A/N well? You like? Well, I like! And yes, I am going to leave you hanging right there for awhile. See how long it takes for you guys to go crazy. No just kidding. I'll go more into Bethy's voice later in chapters. REVIEW!
