AN: This is after the prologue incase you don't get that. Just making sure.
They had been all over Paris and no luck. Erik was nowhere to be found. Christine and Gustav went home and saw a note on the table addressed to both of them. It had the phantom's seal. Christine opened it and read;
My dear Christine and my apparent child, I am sorry to say I have left Paris and am going to Rome. I do wish to see my son once more, so if you could bring him to me I would be grateful. Yours truly, the Angel in Hell.
"Christine you cannot go," Raoul said, for he had heard what the note said. "He will keep you there."
"No he won't. We will go and Gustav, you can stay with your father. Would you like that?" Christine asked.
"Yes, very much." If only to be away from Raoul, he thought.
"Then we shall leave in the morning. Go to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow," Christine sent Gustav to bed.
When he was gone, Raoul said, "You mustn't go, love. I know he will keep you or try to. At least let me come with you."
"No, my love. I must go alone with Gustav. Please understand."
"I never will. But if you must then do it." She nodded and went up to bed. He decided to secretly follow them so as to make sure they remained safe.
