I do

Ok just for the record I suck at writing fight scenes so really don't get mad when you read it. So here it is the last chapter and it took me awhile to finish it, so I hope you like it, though it turned out slightly sappier then I would have liked but alas what can be done for it. Plz review and tell me if you liked it or not.

Christine moved slowly away from the small room. 'That was different' she thought to herself. The feeling of Erik's gentle lips was still on her. It was strange, his kiss hadn't been demanding it was more of a plea, or was it a goodbye? The thought sent a chill down her spine as for the first time she realised the finality of this wedding.

'If I do get married that's it, I won't ever be able to go back. I'll never be able to see Erik again.' It hadn't really hit her until that moment, there was something about that kiss that had woken a feeling inside her she'd never experienced before. She knew now for sure that he loved her, truly loved her. 'But do I? Could I possibly-'

"Christine there you are." She was grabbed by her arm and pulled along. "I've been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?" Meg asked as she pulled Christine along behind her. Meg was dressed in the bridesmaid's gown and looked absolutely glowing in it. Her golden blond hair was held up with small pieces hanging down and her dress was a light pink.

"I was just umm" Christine tried to think of something fast. But suddenly Meg stopped and turned to face her dropping her hand.

"He's here isn't he?" She asked, the look on Christine's face telling her everything.

"I don't know what to do." Christine finally told her.

"You were all decided a moment ago, what happened? What did he do?"

"He tried to…. But we didn't, and then he kissed me." She tried to explain.

"You don't usually kiss? Never mind I don't want to know." Meg told her. Her mind racing with mental images she really didn't want to imagine.

"No we do but just not like that. It was always so demanding but when he kissed me this time it was, well it wasn't. I could read his entire heart in that kiss and I know he does really love me. But he's asking so much; it was just like the kiss under the opera, a silent plea. But I don't know, this time I don't know who to choose."

"Poor Christine I know this isn't easy for you. But you couldn't have picked a worse time, there isn't much time left the weddings already to go. They're just waiting on you."

"What am I going to do Meg?" She pleaded for her friend to give her an answer. To tell her what to do.

"Christine, Meg! What are you doing playing around out here?" They looked to see Madame Giry, walking swiftly towards them.

"We haven't the time for this. Come along we are going to begin shortly." Christine gave a desperate look at Meg as they followed behind Mme Giry. "Now I hope you are both ready because there is no time if you are not." She told them to wait just outside the altar room. "Now stay here we shall begin shortly." And with that she was gone.

"Oh god Meg" Christine gasped when they were alone. "What do I do?"

"Times up Christine I don't think theirs anything you can do now." She told her truthfully.

The beginning of the ceremony went along in a blur. Christine couldn't remember very much of it, all she knew was that she now stood next to Raoul and was listening to some priest preach about things she didn't understand.

Erik watched hidden in the church as Christine walked down the aisle to her new life. He watched with anger flaring inside him at every word the priest spoke. What was he to do? Stand here and watch her give herself to another man, the wrong man at that?

She didn't love Raoul he knew she didn't. So why was she standing there with him? Why hadn't she run off to be with him yet? Each moment he was getting more anxious the ceremony would be over soon and then she'd be lost to him forever.

'Come on Christine' he silently pleaded. 'Don't do it, I know you don't want to.' He couldn't just watch this happen. He couldn't watch Christine throw away their only chance to be together. He moved a long the upper level of the altar room and up towards where Christine stood, until she was directly below him.

He didn't have much of a plan but it would have to work.

&&&&&&

Christine stood utterly still; her whole body was filling with dread. 'This is right' she repeated silently. 'This is what I want. This is where my heart truly lies with Raoul. This moment, this one right here, and now will be the beginning of the rest of my life. No turning back now.' But despite her thoughts dread still began to seize her.

"Do you really believe you own her heart Vicomte?" A familiar voice rang out. At the sound of Erik's voice Christine felt her body grow cold and the dread inside her grow. Fear consumed her, what was Erik going to do? She knew it wouldn't end well.

Everyone looked around for the source of the voice.

"And did you think I would not be here? That I would let you lay claim to what is mine?" Erik asked still hidden from the crowd's eyes.

"I presume it is you Phantom. Can you not except that Christine loves me? This is getting rather sad." Raoul called out looking around for any sign of his adversary.

Suddenly the Phantom dropped down silently behind the Vicomte who turned quickly and took a few steps back towards the altar.

"She doesn't love you. I wouldn't be here if she did." Erik told him advancing toward the couple. Raoul backed away again and pulled something from behind the altar.

"I wasn't foolish enough to think you wouldn't try something opera ghost." He told Erik pulling his sword from its holder and moving to face him. Erik reached inside his cloak and pulled his own sword out to face Raoul.

"Please stop" the priest called out. "You are in a house of God" Both men ignored him as they stared intently at each other.

"Christine do something," Meg cried as she moved towards her friend

"Like what?" Christine replied now intently watching as they began to fight.

Raoul thrusted at Erik with his sword, but Erik parried and swung around with a thrust of his own, which Raoul also parried. They clashed blades several times, Then faced off again and traded one thrust and parry after another. Raoul tried a swing from above, but Erik easily ducked and sidestepped out of the way. They faced off again in front of the altar and traded a few more blows. Raoul tried to swing again and Erik ducked it and escaped to the side. Raoul then tried for his legs, but Erik blocked his attempt with his blade. Again they trade several swings.

Christine Cried out for them to stop and for a moment Erik was distracted. Raoul tried to take advantage of his distraction and came at him with his sword held high, intending to swing from above, but Erik dropped to the floor and rolled out of the way, Erik then kicked Raoul's legs out from under him and got back up. Raoul quickly regained his footing. He backhand punched Erik in the face, and swung hard at him. Erik blocked his blow with his sword, and kicked Raoul in the gut, making him double over. Erik quickly moved into the clear, and raised his sword to continue the fight. He thrusted and Raoul parried. Then he kicked him in his sword arm, and Raoul stumbled back a step.

Christine looked on as the two continued to fight. She could hear Mme Giry yelling for Erik to stop this, which seemed strange Raoul, was doing just as much damage. Christine watched as Raoul hit the ground and scrambled back to his feet as Erik slowly advanced. He thrusted and Erik moved easily aside. Raoul swung at him, and Erik blocked him. His sword bounced off of Erik's and fell with the tip onto a low wall. Erik stomped on the blade before he could raise it again and knocked it from his grip. He then elbowed Raoul in the face, knocking him back into a wall.

Christine watched in morbid fascination as Erik approached Raoul who was now down against a wall. She watched as Erik moved towards Raoul placing his sword against his neck to hold him in place.

"So that's it. It seems as though I have won this time Vicomte. And I'm just not sure if I am as merciful as you were."

"My mistake" Raoul spit out

"Indeed" Erik agreed pressing his blade harder into Raoul's throat until a small amount of blood began to flow; he was rather disappointed that he didn't cry out.

"Erik stop this" Mme Giry called out. "You are in a church for goodness sakes."

"That means nothing to me. It is just another place I am not welcome."

"It doesn't matter this is unacceptable. Stop this at once." She ordered

"I'm afraid I can't do that. I need to teach this boy a lesson about touching what's mine."

"She's not yours" Raoul gasped out. "She doesn't want you"

This brought an amused smile to Erik's face.

"Is that so?" he began knowing he was going to love watching Raoul's face as he told him this news. "I always thought you a little slow. I imagine you recall Christine's little disappearance? You never did find out who took her did you?"

"You!" Raoul cried out in realization.

"Yes me. I would have thought you smarter than this. Who else would have taken her? But that's really not important, its what happened next that matters." Erik looked over to Christine. She looked frightened, that was good. Her eyes were pleading for him not to say anything. Erik smiled.

"I think you should know what I did to her, and what she did to me. Well actually it was more what we did together."

"No your lying" Raoul said.

"I don't need to lie. I took her their and so many times after. Even when she left, I took her every time you weren't around. In so many places and so many ways. But you wouldn't know would you? No, you much preferred to believe her pure and virginal, though she is anything but. No matter that's all the more better for me."

"It's not true" Raoul said trying to turn his head to face Christine so she could tell him just that. "Christine say it isn't true"

"Come on Christine tell him the truth. Tell him how you came in his bed all those times because of me."

"I, I-I'm sorry Raoul" Christine sobbed, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"No" Raoul whispered, utterly heart broken.

"You should be glad you found out the truth about you fiancée before you married her. Now I would be more than happy to take her off your hands."

"Never" Raoul said harshly trying to get up but only succeeding in cutting the blade into his skin deeper.

"Well that's a shame. I am afraid I will have to kill you then."

"Erik Please" Christine pleaded realizing that once again it was up to her to save Raoul from her angel. She moved forward towards the two men.

"Don't you get it yet?" She asked. "You can't keep killing and manipulating in the name of my love. It doesn't work that way. But clearly you still don't understand because here you are forcing me to relive this drama again. Have you learned nothing?" Christine continued to move towards them. Erik held the sword firmly at Raoul's neck as he spoke.

"You have given me no other choice. I won't lose you to him."

"If you kill him you will lose me anyway." She told him moving still closer.

"What else can I do?" he asked her keeping his eyes firmly on Raoul whom sat silently watching the exchange.

"You can allow me to make my own choice. Without these threats and without hanging life and death before me."

"You already chose, when you walked out of that room."

"Erik please, put the sword down." He didn't move and suddenly he felt a warm hand on his own. Slowly Christine opened his hand and took the sword from him. Lowering it away from Raoul, who breathed a sigh of relief and lifted his hand up to stop the trickle of blood that flowed from his neck.

Christine placed the sword down away on the floor before turning to Erik and meeting his eyes.

"I thought you finally understood, today when you kissed me like that. But it seems you don't"

"Christine please." He sighed; he had nothing to say.

"If you really love me, you'd let me go." Erik met her eyes at that moment and looked deeply within them. He saw so much hurt there. He had not wanted to hurt her, not really.

"I love you Christine. I can't live with out you, are you telling me this is what you really want?"

"It is" Erik hung his head, no longer able to meet her eyes. He had lost her, forever this time. He felt her hand on his shoulder and the other slowly lifted his chin up until his eyes met hers again.

"Do you understand now? That I need to make my own decisions, and decide upon my own life?"

"Yes I understand," he told her

"Good" was all she said before she brought her lips to his. Kissing himpassionately, and deeplybefore pulling away. He opened his eyes when he felt her lips leave his. He starred intently at her, a look of confusion on hisface.

"I choose you. I want a life with you, and it is my choice no one else's. Just mine."

"Christine you can't mean that" Raoul asked alarmed.

"I'm sorry Raoul, but I've chosen" she told him softly.

Erik looked at her in shock. Before pulling her tightly to himself and kissing her harshly. "Your mine now Christine. I wont ever let you go. Is that what you want?" He growled into her ear.

"I do," She told him before she was pulled back in a kissed with a brutal force.

"That certainly wasn't how I thought the day would end." Mme Giry said to her daughter, as they looked on at Christine and Erik who were wrapped in a passionate embrace.

"Really it's how I pictured it" Meg said. "Someone said I do and there was a kiss its exactly how I thought it would be, well mostly."

"Yes I suppose" Mme Giry agreed.

"It's all rather sweet" Meg told her mother.

"I would hardly call it that. This doesn't seem the things dreams are made of." She said remembering the words Erik had spoken about his and Christens time together. Meg sighed paying little attention, as she was still focused on Erik and Christine.

"A fairy tale ending if I ever did see one" Meg said dreamily

"No Meg" Christine told her, breaking away from Erik to look at her friend. "This is no fairy tale, it is my darkest fantasies come true, and it's only begun." She smiled devilishlyand turned back to Erik who returned her smile before moving down to kiss her once again.

It's over! See I told you my fight scenes suck :P but hey its done and that's all I care about. So plz tell me how you all liked it!
