A/N-Thanks for the reviews so far, but I really haven't given many people a chance to review this last chapter because I want to keep updating but here are the review replies so far:
WanderingTeen: I'm glad that you like authors replying to your reviews because you're going to be seeing a lot more of it. I'll try not to spoil the chapter with chapter names
Agnes1014: You see where this is going in a good way or a bad way?
Christine1987: Thanks, I hope that I am doing well.
Erika Butler: Ahhh, grammar. So hard to watch, but I hope that I do okay in the grammar department for a 13 year old trying to write a fan fic.
Opera Dove: I hope you don't mind if I start replying to your reviews not privately…
Isabel Fletcher: I am trying to expand each section a little more each chapter, tell me if this time it is any better or worse.
The Mouse in the Opera House: Things might work out, they might not.
Phantomette of the Opera: I will try to do a little of the story omniscient as you suggested. The reason I chop my story up into sections is to get more feeling from each character.
Jamea: lol, you're right, naming chapters does only take 30 seconds.
The Opera
Christine (with a little bit of author)
The construction of the Opera House had been completed enough for rehearsals to start! Christine was so excited, for she will finally be singing in the opera again! When she had gone to talk to the owners of the opera house, they had welcomed her with open arms. The only problem had been the ballet rats. They had been all over her, asking her about what had happened. Christine had refused to reply (I wouldn't). Meg was acting strangely. You would think that Meg would be delighted to see Christine safe and out of the Phantom's lair. Meg was acting guilty, almost. (I wonder why) It doesn't matter, Christine thought. As long as she was out of the lair. The opera that they were now singing was a new one, the music was strange, upbeat almost. Most of the other opera singers hated it, but Christine had taken a strange liking to it. She knew that Erik was watching her the whole time, but truthfully she didn't care. As long as he didn't make a scene then things would be absolutely perfect. ( Not for long )
Erik (with a few paragraphs from the humble author)
Christine was singing again, which is good, excellent even, but I am nervous. I don't want her telling any of those ballet rats, including Meg, what has been going on or where the lair is. I needn't have worried, Christine has said nothing. When she had a few moments to spare, I pulled her aside.
"My dear, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Why ever would I not?" said Christine indignantly.
Quickly making up an excuse I said "The ballet rats are all over you, are you sure you don't mind?"
She just gave me a haughty look, knowing that I was just nervous about letting her out of the lair. They called her name and she turned and quickly walked away, leaving me to wonder if she would run away from me forever.
The Phantom knew that Christine would never come to him if he did not let her sing, and she knew it. She would use this against him if he pulled her out. He would not pull her out, but he will watch and make sure nothing goes wrong.
Meg(author)
Christine is back, oh how could Christine be back? We tried so hard to save her, and now she just walks out of the blue. What if Raoul tries to come to her? I will lose him forever, and how I love him. Maybe I should try to talk to Christine, no, I won't. She is the thing standing in the way between me and Raoul, and she doesn't even know it yet.
Meg's mind is filled with confusion and turmoil. She is trying to deal with possible rejection and betrayal of her best friend. Who wouldn't have problems with that? Raoul actually loves her and she doesn't even see it.
Raoul(author)
"Meg."
"Yes, Raoul?"
Oh her sweet face, I could just gather her into my arms right now, but I can't, I won't.Christine is back in the opera house, of course from the allowance of our "dear" Phantom. My idea for the plan is failing miserably, but it won't matter.
"Meg, would you like to go to dinner tonight?"
I had a special night planned for her if only she will accept. For a second Meg had a stunned expression on her face but then readily accepted.
"Raoul, what about Christine?"
I leaned forward and kissed her, but ignoring my desire, I pulled back and said
"Christine does not matter tonight, only we matter tonight."
She smiled and walked back to her mother and whispered to her. Madame Giry looked surprised for a moment but then smiled and nodded towards me. What surprises will I find tonight?
Guess what's going to happen tonight? Fun, fun.
Christine
I do not love Raoul anymore. I am glad in one way, but sad in another. I saw him today, not speaking to him but I just looked at him, and no feeling whatsoever came upon me. I finally do not have to worry about spending the rest of my life in captivity worrying about loving him. I will still miss him, for I do like him still, but the heart wrenching sadness is gone. Something is going on between Meg and Raoul. I hope that I will still be able to love Meg as a friend after I find out what is going on between them. I am sure it is nothing serious, or I would've heard from the ballet rats.
