Christine1987: I have no reply for that.
Phantomette of the opera: I should hope you would love it. It was your idea. Do you have an account? You always sign as basically an anonymous reviewer. So how did you know I posted the sequel?
Jamea: I think everybody pities him in a strange way, and yes this is the story where Raoul got beat up a lot.
MyDarkAngelErik: What is up with the "dun dun dun?" Like three people have signed with that! And where did Nadir go?
IAmTheMaskYouWear: Writing…
The Mouse in the Opera House: Lol. How many stories do you have in your C2 community at this point? It must be over two hundred.
Phantomgurl: For some reason this story makes people obsessed. Would you believe that I am only 13, that each chapter is a first draft, and that the story this is a sequel to was my first fan fic?
PhantomTeen26: Raoul needs to just die. Oh and he might…
Getting Others Involved
Raoul
I knew that damn Christine and Meg would get away. I know what to do next. My head is clearer than it has been in weeks. Simply kidnapping either of them is not ingenious enough. I must use my power that I still have to get them. And I have the perfect way.
Christine
Erik was loathe to allow me to sing today with the opera. I have a sense of foreboding, but I know all the escape passages from Erik's teachings. Meg stayed close by as well, so in a moment we can go down once more, if need be. I relaxed more, and more as no unexpected problems came my way. Those unexpected problems being Raoul and all he could do, of course. Rehearsal was almost over when policeman came marching through the door with Raoul in the lead. He pointed to me and Meg, who were about to flee, and screamed
"There they are! Those thieving whores!"
The policeman quickly crossed the stage where they grabbed the bewildered Meg and me. We were marched out with both of us screaming
"What did we do? What is going on?"
The police would say nothing, but Raoul said
"You are getting punished." And then he left.
We were taken to a jail cell. A jail cell of all places! We were both waiting for our savior, Erik, knowing he would come. I knew this was a trap, this was Raoul's craziness using us, but I wanted Erik here all the same. We heard footsteps and I said
"Erik, Erik, you came!"
And Raoul leered at us through the bars saying mockingly
"Oh, yes, dear I am here to save you!"
I glared at him and he said
"You have a choice. You can stay in here forever, for thieves are never let out, or Christine, you can come with me and Meg can return to the pitiful opera house to have our child. I will give you until tomorrow to make you choice."
Erik
I will look until the ends of the earth to find her. I know where she is, but which cell. I was running madly, blindly looking for her, calling for her. I heard quiet sobbing, and there she was, sitting there with Meg. She cried
"Erik, you must leave at once, he'll find you!"
"I'm not leaving without you and Meg."
"He gave us a choice. I can live with him and Meg can go free, or we will stay here forever."
"Not if I can help it."
I grabbed one of the bars and tried pulling hard, but it would not budge. I knew that one person that could get them out of here: Nadir. He knew how to manipulate anyone, anyhow, and he could convince the jailors that Raoul was insane, and that these girls were innocent. Now I had to get him. I lived in Persia, for me, three days away. After that, he could send a message that would arrive that day, for Raoul to go to an insane asylum.
"Christine, my angel, stall for Raoul. Keep saying that you haven't made your choice yet. Do this for about three days. Can you do this?"
"I will try."
Raoul would pay for this, oh he would pay. But now I must leave quickly to go for Nadir. Please let him be there, for Christine and Meg's sake.
Meg
Everything was happening so fast, I knew naught what was going on. Raoul had gone absolutely insane, but he wielded his power like a sword. I, once being the object of his affections, is no longer a threat, and now he wants Christine. I will convince him to let us go, I know I can do it. I know all of his darkest secrets, and even through being insane, they will appeal to him, and we will be set free.
