Hi everyone I am back!

Hope you all liked my story so far. I realized that the first chapter was painfully short but the ones after it should be longer. The next few chapters will be mostly conversations. All of their thoughts will be italicized.

By the way my story is mostly based on the movie but will have some book info. I just got my "Phantom" book so once I get more back round info I will start adding more characters but until then enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing sadly.

Chapter 2

Erik watched eagerly as Christine and Raoul were whispering to each other. The police and fire marshal had gotten everything under control and had stopped the flames before they destroyed the entire house, but luckily the flames did not reach Christine's dressing room.

Christine was crying even harder now still trying to grasp everything that just happened. She was whispering something neither Raoul nor Erik could understand. Erik watched, with a growing feeling of jealousy, as Raoul sat next to Christine rocking her gently and trying to calm her down. She again whispered something softly but this time Raoul heard her. He got up very harshly causing Christine to fall to the floor with a loud thud. It took all of Erik's will power not to run through the mirror and go to her aid.

She left you. She left you for the boy. She doesn't love you. She wants to get away from here from you. The whispers in the back of Erik's mind were now surfacing and started to cloud his judgment. The thoughts stayed no matter how hard he tried to push them out they stayed.

He was now lost in his thoughts but was jolted back to earth by Christine screaming his name. He heard so much pain in her scream, something he never wanted to her from her, ever, but she kept screaming his name facing the mirror.

"Erik… Erik… He is still down there Raoul. The mob could kill him if they find him, he could die! I left him; I can't believe I left my angel to burn in Hell. How could I?" Christine was now directly in front of the mirror screaming.

Raoul, who was now seething at her, pulled her away harshly from the mirror. He could hardly believe her words started screaming without even realizing it. "Christine! How can you still think of him as an angel? As your angel? He is no angel! After all that he has done you still care about him? He almost killed me and forced you to marry him. Would you have gone willingly? Obviously not because you are here with me." Raoul now finished his chest heaving up and down. He was starting to get an idea of how Erik felt and reacted as he did. That still did not matter to Raoul he was still a monster.

There was a moment's pause when not a sound could be heard except Christine's sharp intake of breath and Raoul's heaving breaths.

"You love him don't you? You have loved him all along and you still do! Christine, do you not remember what he has done or do you choose to not accept it? He has killed people. Christine he has killed who knows how many people and you still love him. How can you love a monster who kidnaps you and threatens my life? He doesn't deserve your love, he only deserves to die!" Raoul was again breathing hard and his face had turned blood read.

Christine's sobs had immediately stopped at Raouls harsh words. She took her face out of her hands and stared at Raoul daring to believe what he had just said.

Erik still stood behind the mirror watching intently at what was unraveling before him. Without even realizing it a last little thread of hope jumped back into his heart. He desperately tried to make it go away but it remained.

"How dare you! How dare you say that about him! You know nothing about him!" Christine started to stand as she said this. She was as surprised by her words as Raoul was but continued anyway. "You do not know him as I do. You have only seen his anger and darkness but there is more, so much more... One side of his face my not be as perfect as the other but he is beautiful. He has the most beautiful soul I have ever known." Then she turned towards the mirror and said a single tear slowly coming down her check, "His soul. I crushed his spirit and ripped out his heart. He deserves so much, so much more…" The last pat drowned out by her sobbing.

"He deserves to die Christine!"

No! No Raoul, no one deserves to die, especially not him." She ran to the mirror and started searching for the switch to unlock it all the while mumbling "He needs me, I must go to him, and he needs me."

No, Christine, stop that. I need you. I love you and you love me, I know you do don't even dare deny it!"

"Yes Raoul I do love you but as my friend. You are my best friend and I don't want to loose you but I believe Erik is my soul mate. We were meant for each other. Raoul you do not understand. You are the Vicomte de Chagny; you can have any woman who is willing to open her heart to you and you to her. If not me then you will find someone else. I am all he has. No one has ever loved him except me and he deserves to be loved. He is the only one who could make my spirit soar. You must understand!"

"What I understand are you long for him because he still has a power over you. He has poisoned your mind Christine!" and with that he pulled harshly away from the mirror and onto the floor.

He then threw her against the wall, grabbed her hair, and sneered through his teeth, "You are my fiancé you belong to ME and no one else!" Raoul was then met by a noose around his neck and blazing golden eyes.
