Dearest Raoul-

I am terribly sorry,but we cannot be together anymore.Please don't come to look for me,I do not need to be saved.My Angel needs me,and I need him.Thank you for understanding.

-Christine

Raoul crumpled the paper in his hands and shook his head.He would find a way to kill that monster,no matter what it took.

CHRISTINE'S POV

I ran through the remains of the Opera Populaire,praying...yes!The mirror was still there.I found that my mind was running quicker than my legs.I HAD to find Erik,no matter what it took.

ERIK'S POV

I sighed,one hand fluttering to my shoulder.My thoughts remained the same;Christine.I missed her,I needed her.I gave up music when she left,and even took up to starving myself;I'd done this before,but not for as long as I had then.Christine was gone,though;what did it matter?I groaned at the sudden sharp pain in my shoulder.And coughing.That had been a problem for a while now too.

"Angel?"I heard a voice.I blinked.It couldn't be."Angel?"

"Christine?"I walked out of my room,my hand still on my shoulder,my other pressed against my stomach.She looked as if she was about to burst into tears.

CHRISTINE'S POV

"Oh,Angel!"I whispered.He looked miserable.I forgot about the mask I held and stared at him.He looked tired-his eyes were sunken,he was almost as white as the mask I held.And he was thinner than I'd ever seen him.I couldn't move.He was naked to the waist.My eyes wandered from his face to his shoulder.I gasped.It was redder,and the bruise had grown larger.

I ran to him,afraid.He looked worse up close.I hugged him,sobbing.

ERIK'S POV

I stroked her hair,not knowing what to say.

"It will be okay,Christine."I whispered.
