A/N Thank you for my review. I feel happy about it. Well, if you weren't to happy with the fact that Erik and Anna had sex, I am real sorry, but its something that had to happen. Enjoy and review please!

Ch. 11♪

"Anna he loved me and I betrayed him, I left him all alone, please do no give him the same fate." The words Christine had pleaded rang in Anna's head a week after she had spoken them.

Christine's confession had unnerved Anna greatly. How could the man she was so hopelessly in love with be capable of committing all those crimes? How could Christine's words be true? Anna knew what she had to do.

She was going to have to leave Erik.

The thought brought tears to Anna's eyes. She ultimately did not want to leave him, but how could she possible carry herself in front of him after knowing what he was capable of. The thought of how Erik would take the break up scared Anna the most. He was defiantly a temperamental man.

Anna had been so consumed in her own thoughts that she had not heard M. Winslet calling her name.

"Anna… Anna." Tom called to her. "He is waiting for you."

"Okay" Anna told him through a false smile as she stepped put of the carriage.

Tom led Anna down the beautiful halls to Erik's library. Anna felt as if she was to begin hyperventilating as she had done last week. When she entered Erik's library the room appeared to be empty, but even she knew that Erik was never too far away. Before she could yell out his name, Anna was embraced in two strong arms. She would miss these arms.

"I have missed you." Erik cooed seductively into her ear. "I am sorry I have not been able to attend any rehearsals this past week."

Erik was only met with silence… something was wrong.

"Anna, speak, tell me what is wrong." Erik told her in a soft but commanding voice, but was met with silence once more. "Anna tell me what is bothering you."

"You are the Opera Ghost." Anna said in a whispered tone. "And you killed all those people."

This time is was Anna who was met with silence. She did not hesitate as she turned around to glare at him, anger filled her eyes.

"TELL ME WHY." Anna screamed at him, tears beginning to fall down her cheeks.

"How did you find out about that?" Erik asked her, a hopeless look in his eyes.

"Christine told me." Anna told him backing away from him. "She knew you had come back."

"Oh God." Erik cried out in frustration. "Anna I was a different person back then, I am no longer that monster I once was."

Anna began to sob. "Erik I do not know that you are different, but knowing who you once were, it scares me and I cannot deal with that."

Erik could not think of how to convince her that he was not that person anymore. he was losing Anna.

"Do you love me?" Erik asked, his eyes pleading with her to say yes.

"Erik don't do this, it is only going to make things harder to deal with." Anna begged him, her body shaking from her sobs.

But Anna was cut off from talking by Erik's lips. Anna loved this man more than life, but she had to leave him. As Erik pulled his face back from Anna, she could do nothing but begin to cry. But he felt the need to ask her the question again.

"Anna tell me you love me." He commanded her through his tears.

Anna felt she had to answer him truthfully, she at least owed him that.

"Yes I love you more than you will ever know." She cried, her sobs raking her body.

"Then do not do this Anna." Erik told her as he held her up by her arms. "We can leave all this behind up and go somewhere and start fresh."

"Erik stop, it is not going to work like that. We cannot run away from our pasts, life does not work that way." She told him as she broke free from her grasp. "I cannot be with you anymore after I know all I know. I don't know you anymore. you are a whole different person to me."

"You cannot leave me Anna. Not after last week you promised yourself to me and you came willingly, I no way influenced you. I was not pretending to be the Opera Ghost or the Angel of Music, you knew it was me all along." He hissed at her. "I was me you begged to touch you."

Anna's tears began to slow, her anger rising. "How dare you use that against me. I love you and yes I wanted you, but you wanted me just as much. But by not telling me who you were or at least the whole truth to you past you were indeed pretending to be someone else." Anna spat back at him. "And do not make me out to sound like some whore Erik, you begged just as much for me to touch you too."

Erik immediately regretted his words. His anger was starting to talk for him.

"I'm sorry Anna but please do not do this, oh please don't leave I love you so much." He cried into Anna shoulder as he held her tight. "I loved before you and she left me for the same reasons you feel you need too, but Anna I love you so much and I could not ever go on. I was so sure that I would die when Christine left, but Anna if you leave me I will for sure die this time because I cannot go through that all again I can not go on with thought you. Oh I love you so much please stay with me."

"I am leaving Erik." Anna said trying to hold back her tears as she walked out of the library.

"Anna think of what you are doing. Tell me Anna do you want to marry the Duke and live the life that is expected of you or marry me and be happy?" Erik told her as he chased after her.

Erik's words made Anna's heart stop. He had never asked her such a question before. He could not be serious. But when Anna turned around to face him she saw he was indeed serious.

"Erik are you asking me to marry you?" Anna asked him as more tears came.

"Yes Anna, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to love you, cherish you, and make babies with you. I want it all with you." He pleaded as her too shed more tears.

"I don't know what to say Erik." Anna said caressing the smooth side of his face.

"Say yes." He told her

"No Erik I am so sorry but I just cannot." Anna told him forcing Erik's proposal out of her head. "I just do not think I can give you anymore of my heart after all the things you kept from me."

Anna turned and walked away, but this time Erik did not follow.

OOOO

When Anna arrived back at the theater she suddenly felt ill. She hurried along to her dressing room. As she walked in to her room, the feeling became much worse. Anna ran to the waste basket knowing she was about to vomit. She had not ever been sick life this, maybe this was a side effect from all the heart ache and tears she had experienced this evening.

Anna felt so helpless as she laid down on her bed and shut her eyes. She did not want to shed anymore tears, yet she could not stop them. He was gone, after his promises of never leaving, he was gone. But she was the one that made him gone. Her heart was twisting so badly that she had to force herself to stop crying so she would not vomit once more.

She wanted to yell out to her maman, but Anna knew she was no where around. Anna wanted the comfort of her mother, the woman who only had to give her a kiss and the world would be all better. But the person she wanted to comfort the most was the one she had wished away. He was gone because of her. Now she was going to have to stay and comfort herself in her hour of darkness.

"Please God, help me see what is right." Anna said as she cried herself to sleep that night, unaware that she was being watched by a soul just as torn as hers.
