The dancers stopped dancing, they stood there, pure terror etched on their faces. The audience screamed and rushed out despite Adlers claims it was an accident. Christine stood there shocked and pertubed. How could her father send her some-one like this. It was definatly him who had done it; she was the only one who saw the swish of his cloak as he left. Raoul had left his seat in search of Christine, he found her at the edge of the stage. Christine turned around and grabbed Raoul's hand. "Come on, please before it's to late" They rushed up the many flights of stairs to the rooftop. They approached the rooftop, panting and out of breath. Christine leaned against a stone figurine. When she regained her brath she turned to Raoul.
"He did it, the phantom of the opera"
"Christine there is no Phantom, that voice, it was probably Jo, or that guy, Jack who' obsesed with you"
"Either way there was still a murder, but Raoul,
I've seen him, I've been down to the layer
his hidden gloom, hiding his face in the mask
his face is so distorted, hiding the sadness
he has gained, Raoul, he loves me, yet he scares me so"
Christine began to shake. Raoul came up and hugged her.
"Dont cry, my dear Christine,
I will always be here
Your safe, no one will find
just leave your fears behind you"
"Please stay with me through this bitter winter
keep me glad, with talk of summertime
say you love as much i love you too
thats all i ask of you"
"I'll give you some shelter
I'll show you the light, Im here
never to leave you
i'll help you not feel so blue"
"All I need is two things
Freedom and you.
With me and beside
to help me and to hide me"
Raoul suddenly kissed her, she kissed him back. Christine felt a feeling of elevation inside her.
"I love you" they both whispered before leaving the rooftop. The did not realise that the phantom was hidind behing one of the many sculpted figurines. He was crying.
"I gave you my music
My soul, my words, my voice
And this is what i get now
My life has lost it's life now
He had fallen for you
As soon as you had sung"
He cried, tears leaking down his face, melting the snow that had been sofylt falling all day.
"You will hate
the day you refused
the love i only had for you"
