Chapter 27

(Raoul's Point of View)

So long I have been kept here in this mental ward. Ever since that day I fell, the doctor's told me I would never be the same. They told me that my mind flashes back and forth. From the past and to the present. Soon I won't remember anything they said. They told me that I could never leave this place because I won't know where I was if I did. If my mind switched to the past, something horrible could happen. But I feel fine right now.

That scream...she screamed so loud...and damn! The window is open. That bastard Erik is going to be coming soon.

I have to get out of this place. I can't stand not being able to be myself. I want my freedom back.

"Shut up you little bitch!" I screamed at Christine.

I slapped her across her face and threw her to the side of the bed. I stood up began to look out the window. I see something off in the distance...running...

Something is happening...I don't want to turn into one of those people. I want to have my control back!

"You brought him back! What did you tell him so he would come back! You lied to me!" I screamed at Christine as she cried.

I slammed my hand down on her windowsill. He would be here soon, but I would be ready.

I will break out! I know I can! They don't know that I still have my mind.

The door opened quickly and slammed right behind. He is running up the steps now.

I turned to Christine, took out my knife and said, "Scream, and I'll kill you."

I'll just open the door and walk out of my room. We have control of the entire ward. If I just have enough brain left to get out, I can go. Wait! I hear voices somewhere...

Doctors passing down the hall talking...that's fine.

"Yes, he is paying for the entire wedding. They really do make a sweet couple. The wedding is today at this moment as a matter a fact."

"Who is paying?"

"Erik Destler of course and Christine Daae."

My heart grows faint. I will...not...let...him...win...

I turned the door handle once the doctor's walked by. Before I left, I put a gun in my pocket. Today was the day when their dreams were going to end.
