CHRIS' POV

My heart was racing so hard inside my chest as I slowly took one step after another towards Darienne. When I finally came up to him I hugged him tightly. I knew this would be the last time I would ever see his smiling face or those deep green-blue eyes. Silently I sang into his ear.

Sometimes I wonder why this is happening

Why I'm the one who has to go through all the pain and suffering

I look in the mirror to see a reflection

That shows me all the flaws and all the deceptions.

If I look hard enough I know I will see,

The part of me that know one else can see,

The deep indentions under the skin,

Make rivers for my tears to flow down to the sea.

The scars on the inside are the deepest,

But the ones on the outside are the most visible and painful to see,

But I know that he can see them and help them mend

That without you in the next world it will all end.

"I'm sorry Darienne but I can't leave him… I-I-I love him." I finally stuttered out. He pulled me away from himself so he could look me in the eyes. And what I saw sent my heart racing. He was happy. Gods above he was happy.

"Oh thank God Chrissy. Thank God." I smiled at him as he pulled me towards him hugging me and I hugged him back as hard as I could.

"I'm gonna miss you so much. But I'll always have the memories. And I'll always have our song." I said holding him tightly as I hugged him.

"Can I have one last kiss?" He asked. I looked at him already knowing what I would say.

"Of Course." I said closing the space between us, and kissing him. It was the last kiss we would ever share, but I did love Erik so I only gave him a brief passionate brush of lips.

ERIK'S POV

I was still pacing, wringing my hands together and running them through my hair. I couldn't stand this. I was so scared, for the life of me I was actually scared to the point of vomiting. I had to do this again. Wait for the love of my life to choose between the light or the dark, and I knew that this time… the choice was harder to make then ever before.

Suddenly a bright light started float towards me from the lake. My eyes widened in surprise at the beautiful women in front of me. It couldn't have been Christina, but I knew it was and my heart when out to her, I took a deep breath realizing for the fist time that I had been holding it.

Christina looked like an Angel of the Night in her long slim flowing black dress with red mesh covering the skirts. The tight low cut bodice of the dress showing the contour of her body, her waist thin enough for me to place my hands around… both meeting in the back. The thing that got me the most was her hair was down in long auburn voluminous waves, though she had neglected to take out the dyed braids, making me laugh. I had only seen her hair down twice before, and even then it was only a glimpse, but looking at it now I noticed that it fell all the way down past the small of her back. I felt a tear fall down my cheek at the thought of never seeing her again.

Without a moments hesitation the gondola came to a rest at the landing and she jumped out and came rushing at me. Her hands holding onto the skirts to keep them out of the way. I didn't know what she would do until her arms locked in a tight embrace around my neck. She buried her head in my neck, and I rested my head in the crown of her hair and her neck, smelling that aura of Strawberries and Raspberries.

She then turned her head to the side to meet my face and took of my mask. At first I was hesitant but let her continue. When she removed it and set it on the couch she closed the space between us with a kiss, gently messaging them with those warm full lips of her. Remembering how Christine had kissed me before leaving I started to panic at the thought that it was all happening again. I pulled away in fear and looked at her, my heart starting to break all over again. I knew that this time I would not survive her leaving me.

"Erik I'm not leaving you. Erik I'll never leave you. I-I… I Love You." At hearing these words my heart was sown together and I felt the joy of the world rising from my stomach to spread all over my body. She Loved Me. Before she had never been able to say. But she did, and I knew she would stay with me forever.

"Oh God Chris." I said before smothering her with another kiss, this time full of all the passion and desire I had ever felt for anyone. This time I finally put everything into that one kiss. I didn't hold back a thing.

"Well Christina I guess this is good bye." I heard Darienne say as I stopped our passionate embrace taking her hand in mine as we turned around to face him. He apparently had been the one to steer the gondola.

"Thank you." I said to him. He shook his head in a silent agreement.

"I think its you I should owe thanks to. I would rather she was with you and happy then with someone else always feeling like something is wrong."

I looked at the man who had once been me and felt pride to know that in the next lifetime I had accomplished so much. And that I would share the love of the most beautiful women in the world.

"Goodbye Erik. It was good to see you." Said Adrienne giving me a brief hug. I released Christina's hand to give it back to her.

"Goodbye Wolfy." She said to Chris who laughed and hugged her back.

I looked at her confused as she silently worded to me 'Long story I'll tell you later.'

Adrienne than turned to join her brother as they waved goodbye to us.

"I'll always love you Chrissy." He said as they disappeared.

When they were gone I finally took the time to absorb all that had happened. I then turned to look at Christina to assure my self it had al been true.

I was about to say something when she placed her finger over my mouth.

"Sssshhh, don't say anything. You'll ruin the moment.' She said as she kissed me again.

I took her hand and led her over to the organ. I placed her in my lap as I started to play the song that Darienne had started for me to finish. This time I could concentrate and knew that I had finished it for her. Of course I had added some lyrics to it that I knew she would know all to well.

You turn your head away,

From the silent stare we make,

I look into your eyes of gold,

To see a storm begin to take hold,

You think you know so much,

Yet looking there I know you need a crutch

Let me in and you will see,

That to me you are all I want to see.

All I want is you with me.

I saw her eyes light up as she heard our song put finally to music instead of to a silent tune. She started to sing her part, running her hands over the right side of my face as I played with one hand, the other curled in her hair.

Help me look into your eyes.

Help me to see what lies inside.

Show me the truth and hold me tight.

Never let me out of your sight.

Help me become all I can be

All I need you to say is that you love me.

I smiled at her as I rubbed my right cheek against hers, singing into her ears. Having already memorizing the keys to the song.

I'll hold you tight and keep you safe.

I'll guard you from the burning light of day.

I'll tell you what you want to hear.

That al I want of you is to stay right here.

I love you

She turned to look me in the eyes, her forehead pressed against mine as our noses touched. Or the part of my nose I had.

I'm letting you in and letting you see,

That to me you are all I also want to see,

I love you too and all I want is you with me.

They didnt hear as they were singing Darienne whisper into Adrienne's ear, "Its just begun... the Music of the Night"

awww. Oh my god do I love myself for sticking with Erik. I love you Erik

Erik: I love you to mon ange of Temperamental and Psychotic tendencies.

Ok so this ISNT the last Chapter just so you know.
