I'm sorry for leaving ya'll off with a big old cliff hanger, but I had to leave to go to the dr. guy. He was all, you have to keep your foot elevated above the level off your heart, and I started laughing and was like, Ok, as long as don't need to worry about keeping my hand at the level of my eye.
Yea, no one really got it… Anyhow…

Katey's POV-
I took a second, figuring out how I was going to do this, but after I saw the figure hit Christine again I thought 'what the hell…' and took off running toward him.
I let out a banshee like cry, and tackled the figure in a way so like my older brother on the Varsity team that I was surprised. The only bad part was that he was standing over Christine, so we landed on top of her.
The way we were stacked on top of each other must have looked very "wrong" if you know what I mean, and I leapt up, and pulled the man off of Christine.
I couldn't see his face, but it was no matter to me. I pointed down at him and yelled, "What now fool! WHAT NOW!" In a very 2006 American way, but I didn't care if anyone could hear me. The only thing that mattered to me was that he be in the same state I was, that Christine would have been in.
But as I extended my foot out to kick him, he reached out and grabbed my leg, pulling me down to the ground.
I hit the cobblestone rather hard, but I paid no matter to it, it was just a little bruise.
He was trying to drag himself up, but I pulled him back down and elbowed him in the face.
I hit him where his nose would have been, but there was none. No sound of crunching bones that would have come if it had been a regular human.
Then man grabbed my arms and forced them down by my sides. He was now half standing, half sitting on me, and I was powerless to overthrow him by use of arms. I jerked my knee up to where the seam of his pant legs met, which would have caused a man to shriek in pain a couple of octaves above his normal tone, but the man showed no notice that I had hurt him.
He re positioned himself to sit on my legs, and now I was completely powerless.
'Shit, shit, shit…' I thought, completely loosing it. I was trying as best I could to thrash my way out of his grasp, but the more I struggled the tighter his grip became.
I would get no where by struggling, and I was getting exhausted anyway. Then, a new idea came into my head.
I became limp, and acted as if I had fainted.
With my eyes shut, I couldn't see what was going on, but I suppose the man eventually thought I was down for the count and I felt his weight lifted off of my legs. I could hear his footsteps walk away from me, and I opened my eyes just in time to see him do a little cape flip, and he had disappeared into the night.

Meg's POV-
Finally we neared the market place. I was to the point of exhaustion, and felt like just falling down and resting until I caught my breath, but Fleur and Christine needed me.
We turned the corner, and their figures came into sight. I could see Christine propping Fleur up in her lap, trying to get her to return to consciousness… but wait… there was a blonde head sitting up, with a brunette in her lap.
I ran even faster, and when I got close enough, I asked to Fleur "Fleur! What happened to Christine! And you…You're alright!"
Fleur smiled, but said "I'll answer questions later, for now we need to worry about Christine."
Meg looked down at Christine, noticing for the first time her face had a stream of blood trailing from above her hairline, and was bruised.
I opened my mouth, but paid heed to Fleur by not asking questions.
Maman arrived only a few moments behind, and looked from Fleur to Christine, then to me, but said nothing.
"Come on, we need to lift her up and carry her back home…" and she bent over to grab Christine's legs as Fleur lifted up her shoulders.
I walked alongside, with my arm underneath her torso, keeping her steady and we walked slowly back to the opera house like that.

I would like to say that I realize Christine's hair is blonde. But, I didn't really want them to have the same hair colour, or have it vice versa, which would have been too confusing.
Also, I know that the 'voice' sounds like the original phantom, but it isn't him, just to clear things up about why the phantom would want to harm Christine when he is obsessed with her.
