All Christine heard was the echo of her own footsteps as she ran frantically down the dark corridor. Her ankles began to ache with each desperate pound of her tiny feet on the cobblestone floor.

She blindly ran, her hand sliding against the damp wall, her only guide. The hall felt never ending, until she finally slammed into a wall causing her to tumble back. She ran her hands over the cool stone looking for a door, but to her absolute misery there was none. She stuck her arms straight out in front of her and realized that the hallway didn't end, it just had taken a sharp left. She placed her palm on the wall again and continued down the black passageway.

Is the ground sloping downward? she thought to herself, realizing the slant of the floor was making her go faster. She gasped when her feet hit shallow water with a splash and the monotonous sound of leaks and drips echoed and bounced off the walls around her.

The puddles became more frequent and larger the farther she was going under the opera house.

She decided she needed to slow down before she hurt herself and took up a steady, but swift, walk. The puddles had now bled together into a shallow pool around her, no deeper than her ankles. Christine hit another wall and found that she could either go left or right. But due to the darkness, she couldn't tell which was the safer route.

Left. She decided on a whim and started to travel down the tunnel. The water was becoming deeper and the air cooler. The water was now up to the middle of her shin and was as cold as ice, causing her to shiver. Her skirts were soaked from the filthy water and clung to her legs, weighing her down and making it difficult to tread through the water.

A large splash behind her made her stop dead in her tracks.

The moment she stopped, however, the tunnel became silent and the only thing that could be heard was her rapid breathing. She began again to wade through the water, with the feeling that there was still someone or something lurking behind her.

She felt as though the passageway would never end, but suddenly her feet hit something hard, and she realized there were steps going upward unto a platform out of the mirky and smelly cellar water. She moved her feet up the stairs, careful not to trip, and began to walk still blindly down the new, dry hallway.

What have I gotten myself into? Where am I even? I can't believe I didn't turn around while I had the chance, but it's now to late. Goodness knows how many turns these hallways have taken me. I'll never find my way back to the door I came in through! Christine thought to herself, beginning to panic.

It got to the point were she felt like giving up, but a single light up ahead gave her hope.

A torch! She began running down the hallway, until she reached the torch hanging on the grimy wall. She realized that there was a lit torch every few feet, and the eerie corridor was well lit, stone,narrow and cold. She noticed water dripping from the ceiling and wondered what part of the opera house she was under.

She reached a wide, spiraling staircase that appeared to go down into the depths. A cold draft yanked and pulled at her hair as she rubbed her hands up and down her uncovered arms, in attempts to warm herself.

"Christine... Christine..."

Christine gasped aloud and spun her body around quickly, looking for who or even what had just called her name. Could it have been her angel, or was it some stage hand stalking her and mocking her emotions? Could whomever had said her name be the one who produced the splash? Was someone even following her, or was she beginning to go mad from this labyrinth?

Before she realized what she was doing, she was running as fast as she could.

"Christine...don't run...don't run..." the eerie voice called after her.

Christine screamed and covered her ears as tears blurred her vision. She was terrified. Why had she come down here? She was going to die down here if she didn't get out quickly, she knew it, but she kept running, for that was all she could do. She turned her head from side to side, looking frantically for the spirit from the past that was stalking her, but she only saw shadows and the occasional sound of a billowing cape.

She sobbed aloud as she ran. What was she going to do? Finally, the running and fatigue were getting the best of her, and she felt her legs buckle and she fell to the floor. Her head began to spin and then everything went black.

Erik stopped running after her when he saw her hit the floor. Every fiber of his being screamed for him to catch her frail form in his arms and keep her safe. But he couldn't, he wouldn't dare touch the angel. She had fainted. Erik slowly and silently crept along the wall, hiding in the shadows, until he could get a better look at her.

She was bleeding! All the sirens went off in him. He couldn't keep himself from going to her. He leaned down and examined the wound on her perfect forehead. He couldn't leave her here, she would die...he knew. But he couldn't touch her. This monster touch one of God's angels? It would be a sin, it had to be, but leaving her for dead would be far worse.

He held his breath and placed a hand under her perfect head to support her and used her other to gather her to him and hold her in his arms. He exhaled, a bead of sweat slid down between his shoulder blades and he felt clammy. He had never been this close to a human...to a woman.

He carried her to his boat and carefully placed her inside as he took the pole in hand and slowly brought his angel to the Phantom's lair under the opera.

I hope everyone saw the the similarties to Snow White running through the forest. I think we did good. Thanks again to all the reviewers. Please everyone read and review!
