Chapter Ten

A/N: Thank you my lovely readers for the reviews! Please keep'em coming! Anyway, as I promised here's chapter ten. :)

Christine ran towards Erik and cupped his face to see if he was okay. Blood was dripping from his mouth, his cheeks were swollen, and she saw a cut on his cheek from the good side of his face.

"Are you okay? Is anything broken?" she whispered. Erik seemed to not care for his main concern is what the hell she was doing here. Nadir will have some explaining to do when he gets out of this mess.

"What are you doing here, Christine? I told you to stay with Nadir!" he growled. She didn't care he was angry. She knew she made the right choice coming back. She looked deeply into his eyes and smiled. "I couldn't leave you here. And if you think I am ever leaving you again, then you are a fool monsieur." She said before placing a kiss upon his lips.

Her lips were so warm and perfect. He kissed her deeper when she began massaging his tongue with hers. Their tongues danced with each other until Raoul angrily yanked her away, by the wrists.

"Christine, stay away from him! You belong to me!" He said glaring at her. But, Christine belonged to no one but, Erik. She was the only one she loved. Now, that she sees the true person Raoul really is. A spoiled, conceited, and pathetic rich boy.

"I belong to no one but, Erik! I love him, Raoul! I do not love you!" She spat. Raoul tighten his grip on her wrists which made her gasp with pain. She belonged to him! Not this pathetic demon! He has always got what he wanted, and it will not end now. Oh no, Christine will be his one way or another. Even if he has to kill her precious angel of music.

"No, you belong to me!" He yelled. He took the sword and ran towards Erik. Raoul quickly stabbed Erik's chest and he groaned in pain. He wanted to scream in pain but, he must not let this boy win. But, Raoul didn't stop; he took out the sword and plunged it into Erik again.

"Raoul! Please, stop!" She screamed but it did no use. Raoul kept stabbing Erik in different places. God, she had to think fast. She wanted Erik to live, a few more stabs and he is surely gone. "Raoul! Please! I belong to you!" the words slipped out of her mouth like ice. She quickly placed her hands over her mouth not believing what she had just said.

"What was that, dear?" He asked, growing a smirk on his face. She slowly removed her hands from her mouth and put them to her sides. She knew she must say it but, it hurt. She wanted to live happily with Erik, but a true relationship demands sacrifice. This was it. No turning back. I love you, Erik. She thought.

"I- I belong to… to y-you Raoul." She closed her eyes in disbelief. She just wished it didn't have to be this way she opened her eyes and Raoul stood in front of her. He was smiling now. He leaned forward and captured her lips. His lips didn't match hers' like Erik's lips do. Suddenly her eyes widened, when she felt him thrust his tongue into her mouth. She tried to pull away but, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. She kept fighting, until he finally let go.

"Go get your things, and we'll leave this damn place." He pushed her towards the door. But, her eyes caught Erik. He looked… broken, it looked like he has given up. She stopped in her place.

"Raoul please, let me help him." She said above a whisper. He gave a little chuckle.

"I think not, if he gets cured he'll be after us."

"Please, Raoul! That's all I ask of you, I promise never to ask of anything else." She said, hoping and praying that he'll agree and to her relief, he did.

"Fine! But, make it quick." He scolded. Christine quickly ran get her supplies at from a table and bolted to Erik and began to untie ropes that hung him against the wall. He was about to fall before Christine quickly caught him and set him on her lap. She opened his shirt and began to clean his cuts.

"Christine…" He tried to speak but, found too hard to. She shook her head.

"No, don't talk Erik. Save your strength, I want you to live." He slowly lifted his hand and placed it upon her cheek.

"Without you, what's there to live for?" Tears began to form in both of their eyes. She gave a soft little whimper. "Why Christine? Why? Why did you d-disobey me?"

She didn't respond, she just placed her forehead to his and they both cried in silent. She loved him and he loved her. Why can't they just be? She removed her forehead and began to once again clean the wounds. Erik seemed to wish she would have listened and be far from here. Before he even knew it she had finished. She helped him sit up, though it was hard considering the fact he has muscles.

"Christine… p-please don't l-leave me. P-please…" She felt tears in her eyes again, she crushed her lips with his, never wanting to leave. Her beautiful Angel. She felt her tears fall from her eyes down her face. She pulled away from the kiss and embraced him. She started pressing kisses to his deformed side of the face.

Once more she was yanked. Raoul's face red with fury. "I told you to stay away from him! You belong to me now, Christine!" Before she even knew it, Raoul backhanded her across the face. She gave a little cry of pain.

"CHRISTINE!" Raoul went to Erik and kicked him in the stomach.

"She mine freak!" He shouted before he kicked Erik in the face. "Stay away from her!" Erik looked up at his and spited blood to Raoul's face. Raoul once more kicked him in the face causing Christine to scream. Raoul turned and grabbed her by the shoulders and place a hard and abusive kiss on her lips until she tasted blood. Afterwards he slapped and backhanded her hard that she fell to the ground almost sobbing.

"Be prepared to leave my love, and don't even think about trying to escape." Without another word he left the room.

Christine crawled to Erik's side trying to see if he was still conscious. Luckily he was. She place body on her lap and began to sing.

In sleep he sang to me

In dreams he came

That voice which calls to me

And speaks my name…

She stopped when she heard him moan. She bent down and placed a passionate kiss on his lips. God, how she loved him. She loved him more than anything in the world.

"What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." She said before she place one last goodbye kiss.

I had a hard time writing this chapter. I dont like it when they are not together :(
