Christine

"Erik!" I cried as the bullet sped towards him. I pushed him out of the bullets path I don't know how but I managed somehow. I felt the impact of the bullet as it hit my left side barely missing all my vital organs. The only problem I was now faced with was blood loss. I looked at Erik as I fell to the stage floor. The people in the audience began to scream and dash out of the Theatre. Soon I felt myself begin to slip away; I fought as hard as I could. I felt Erik rush to my side and gently lift my upper body off the ground and he cradled me as he spoke.

Erik

"Christine! NOOOO!!" I yelled as she fell to the floor. The look on her face was horrifying. Blood began to stain her beautiful white dress; her face was now ghost white. I rushed to her side; she was bleeding heavily. Andre and Firmin frantically ran up on the stage and knelt beside her. Raoul just stood there shocked I suppose, still holding the gun... "He needs not to run off." I growled to Andre. I could feel the rage building inside me. He shook his head and told one of the policemen to seal all exits.

"Christine? Please hold on." I told her, tears welled in my eyes. "I just found you." I whispered. "I love you." I kissed her gently. She looked up at me; she was trying to hold on. She sang to me very softly her voice was dieing. She mustered all the strength she had left to sing, "Anywhere you go let me go to. Erik Oh, I Love you too." She then lost consciousness.

"Take her. Stop the bleeding, please! Don't let Mon ange die. I love her." I pleaded to Andre and Firmin. They nodded and Andre said "Yes, we know." They then gently lifted her and then quickly and gently whisked her off stage.

I then rose up from the pool of blood on the stage floor where Christine had lay. I then turned and faced Raoul whose face was white as ivory. I felt the fire inside me burn like a raging volcano; when I spoke to Raoul my voice filled with anger and I could hear the intensity of it flood the theatre.

I noticed out of the corner of my eye Madame Giry grabbing Meg and running her out of here I could hear her say, "Meg we must go to Christine! Raoul will be dealt with." Meg was crying but she listened to her mother and they ran off to Christine.

"It is time! You have crossed the line! It ends here!" I said as my voice boomed across the stage... Shaking Raoul from his daydream.

He looked at me and said, "Yes it is time. No more pain will be caused to Christine."

He reached for his gun. I acted quickly; I hit a lever that sent him falling into the black abyss of my lair... the gun slid across the floor to me and I gently slipped into a pocket in my cloak. I then ran to an entrance to my lair and went to finish the battle. "Hold on Mon Ange. Hold on."

I could feel Christine struggling to stay alive. Our minds, feelings, and our souls were one. I felt everything she did; the pain drove me. It made me faster, stronger, and filled my soul with rage; I had to act quickly. I must finish this for no more pain shall come to my sweet ange. I would make sure of it.

I entered the area where Raoul had fallen I could hear him breathing very fast and heavily. He was in the room of mirrors now. It had been located under the ball room, but after the little incident that had happened there I decided to move it; I picked a perfect spot. He was spinning in circles, waiting for me to pop out... I used this to my advantage. I soon had him running blindly through the darkness of the catacombs. He tripped several times and when he looked back for the third time and saw nothing, he slowed down, and then finally stopped. He turned to look in the direction from where he had come panting heavily. When he turned around I was standing there; I startled him. He fell back wards and began to run once more.

"You can not hide! You are a rat in my maze for I am everywhere! You can not win! You can not avoid me forever!" I yelled letting my voice fill him with fear.

"It won't be long now." I said now with an evil smile crossing my face. "You should have left us alone. Christine was happy and now... NOW YOU TRIED TO KILL HER!!!!" I screamed as I dropped in front of him. I kicked him into the main room of my lair where I my boat was usually docked.

"You tried to kill her you bastard" I cried as he tried to stand. I punch him and knocked him to the ground. I heard him moan as he tried to stand.

"And you may have succeeded." I continued.

I picked him up by his collar and whispered to him, "If you really loved her, you would have let her go as I did. You would have let her be happy; you wouldn't have been so selfish and did anything to get what you wanted. Well you see how well that has worked." I said inches away from his face.

He would not open his eyes as I let go of him. He struck at me and missed; I caught his hand and bent it back breaking his wrist and his fore arm. He cried out in agony; I let go of his arm and he fell to his knees. I then got out the gun that I had put in my cloak and held it in my hands.

"You demon... DAMN YOU TO HELL!!! YOU BASTARD!!!!! I cried as I shot him right in his stomach.

I watched as his face turned white as he plummeted to the ground once more; he had just stood up from the last time he had fallen.

He would die slowly now.

"Now you know the pain and suffering Christine is going through and it's all because of you." I said binding his hands behind him. I made him stand and walked him to a secluded room and chained him to a metal bar. I left him with these final words,

(It is sung in the tune of Learn to Be Lonely.)

"Raoul your selfishness has made you heartless. You should have listened. Now you'll die pained and alone. She tried to warn you, now it's the cold truth. You harmed her, and now you will pay the price.

You should have left and never returned, you only caused her pain. You thought of yourself. Of You AND NO ONE ELSE!!!

She lived in happiness. You should have had sense, enough to listen.

You should have known that you would pay the price.

If you cared,

you would have thought twice."

I sealed the door and then dashed blindly to Mon ange. Tears began to stream down my face as I whispered these words to myself and to anyone who would listen, "Please God, let her live. I just found her. Don't make her pay for my sins. Please... save mon ange."
