A/N here I am again. Here is chapter 2. Start music.

Christine is dragged forward into the depths of the opera house. As the phantom sings in his rage and sadness.


Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!

Erik tuned to Christine and shook her. As he sang.Christine stood there attempting to be strong but alas to no avail. Silent tears stung her face and cascaded down her cheeks. She shook in fear. She wanted no harm to come to her angel. That was why she took away his mask. But he would not realize this. He, the poor angel in hell, would not understand her reasoning for what seemed to be betrayal.

Why, you ask, was I bound and chained to this cold and dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!

Please my angel forgive me! She could see the pain, the torment of his soul in his eyes. Those lonely first nights she spent in the chapel lighting a candle for her father flashed before her eyes. From the first time she heard her angel's voice she longed for him to be real. For him to be someone who could offer the protection of a physical body not only the comfort of his amazing voice. As she thought of her past tears once again filled her eyes. She turned her head as she heard the song of the mob quickly approaching.

Track down this murderer! He must be found!
Track down this murderer! He must be found!

She quickly turned her head back to the phantom. The pain evident in his eyes. He sang of his torment.


Hounded out by everyone! Met with hatred everywhere!
No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere!
Christine... Why...why?

How could she answer that question when even she was not sure?


Meanwhile...


Your hand at the level of your eyes!
...At the level of your eyes...

Madam Giry led Raoul down to the phantom's lair.


Your hand at the level of your eyes!

"This is as far as I dare go." said madam Giry with sadness in her eyes. What would happen to Erik? Was this the right thing to do? She dared not think of the horrors that lie ahead for Raoul for she knew the Phantom of the Opera would not give up without a fight.

"Thank you." Said Raoul as he continued his decent through the tunnels beneath the opera house.

BACK WITH CHRISTINE AND ERIC

"Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood? Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?" asked Christine with a trace of fear in her voice.

"That fate, which condemns me to wallow in blood Has also denied me the joys of the flesh. This face, the infection which poisons our love. This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing. A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing. Pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate. An eternity of THIS before your eyes!"

"This haunted face holds no horror for me now. It's in your soul that the true distortion lies"

Said Christine with a hint of loathing in her voice. That hit hard for Erik. Why couldn't he just die already right? Is that what she wanted? She betrayed me. I have a right to cause this right?

But as he saw the fear, the pain, the sadness in her eyes he realized that it killed him inside that he was the cause of it. He finally realized that this was not the way to earn her love. How could he possibly do something like this? He loved this women more than life and he was hurting her. He could no longer bear to see her tormented. He would set her free...

A/N I'm leaving it here...mwahahaha. Review and I will continue.

i destroyed my list so here it is. I moved it! read it or you will get hit in the head with a wet fish. complements of Randi.

I don't own Phantom..but if I did...never mind.

You know your obsessed with Phantom of the Opera when:

1. You invite all your friends over and serve pizza, chips, cheese dip, and drinks to celebrate your growing love for poto by watching it. (A/N I'm doing that next week.)

2. You count how many times you watch POTO in one day and it is higher than you can count.

3. You decorate your room in a phantom theme complete with a poster, a mural, and curtains that make it look like a stage.

4. When you cry when you even hear the music from the part of the movie during Don Juan when Christine takes off the Phantoms mask. (A/N soooo sad. T-T)

5.When you would buy the sound track for $20 at a book store instead of $14 somewhere else just because you want it NOW not later.

6. When you watch the movie and end up screaming. "YOU IDIOT! STAY WITH THE PHANTOM!"

7. When you walk around the house and/or yard humming or singing the music to phantom over and over and over...

8. When you cry while reading a fanfic about it.

9. When you go to school and talk to your choir teacher and beg her to let you sing songs from POTO for your concert.

10. When you right this list and post it on the Internet because it applies to you.
