Alright this next chapter I had to make an outline for before I wrote it. And I had to rewatch the phantom of the opera to get some ideas. So here we go. Tell me what ya think. If I got quite a few reviews ffairly quickly I'll be able to post the rest of this story up and upload my new story or stories.I'm writing 3 or more at the moment because I keep coming up with good storylines and I'm trying to make my stories different from all the other stories on fan fic, so yeah. ;P Disclaimer: smh... -_- you already know.

~ Jake's P.o.v ~

Tonight was the big night. Tonight was the show. This is the night where the Phantom would be no more. And to make sure of it we had to plan.

I was walking down the hallway while everybody was getting ready for tonight. Cindy, the owners, Jenna, and 2 officers were following me.

I started to say rhythmically.

"We must be aware of everywhere. He will make himself known to us tonight."

The owners said "Let him! He will die tonight if he is anywhere near anyone in this theatre."

"We shall not be foolish and be unaware of our surroundings. Every inch, every centimeter of this theatre must be watched at all times. And most importantly he must not be anywhere near Clare. I will be in charge of letting you know when to shoot if he shows up." I sang/said as I walked by Clare and Adam. She glanced me in the eye and for a second I glanced back and then looked away. I couldn't look at her right now. She chose him over me over everyone. She could've chosen any guy here any guy in the world and she chose him. It made me angry that she could be so foolish.

"You know if something happens to Clare. I could always take her part. I mean I already know all of it." Jenna said while winking at me. Gosh she's such a slut. She's been with every guy in this theatre at least once. Including me, but hey I was drunk and I couldn't even see her face.

Adam was talking to me about tonight. He kept telling me I deserved to be the star and that I had great talent. And then he caught me off guard when I saw Jake leading a group around the theatre that included Cindy, the 'owners', Jenna, and two officers. I looked him in the eyes for a second until he continued on with his group. I couldn't really hear anything they were saying. I knew Cindy would tell me later.

"What's up with you?" Adam asked me.

"Huh? Oh nothing. Why do you ask?"

"Come on Clare something's up with you."

"I'm just nervous about tonight." I said casually.

~ Eli's P.o.v ~

As it got closer to show time I went to the top of the theatre to get some chain and rope. I knew I would need it.

Clare would be disappointed in me, but I did warn everybody in advanced. It's their fault it had to come down to this. Nobody was going to play the phantom unless it was me.

I had some unfinished business with the men who control the curtains and spotlight. One man in particular.

Once I snuck my way up there he saw me and started to run, but he wasn't fast enough I caught up with him wrapped the chain around his throat and had him sitting there until it was time to swing him down to show everybody you don't mess with me in front of the audience tonight.

~ Clare's P.o.v ~

I was just about ready for tonight. It was almost show time. They had already let people in from what I heard. I was so nervous. I didn't know what Eli would do and how far he would go to make himself known tonight. He would get violent I knew that for sure. I've been questioning myself with him lately. Did I really want to be with a person who would snap any second and become violent and kill people? Of course he wouldn't be violent with me….or would he? My thoughts were interrupted by Jake as he walked into my dressing room. I wasn't in the mood to deal with him right now. I wasn't in the mood to deal with anybody right now.

"Clare you're shaking what's wrong?" he said from a distance. He wouldn't get anywhere near me which was a smart choice for him. I didn't think he really cared what was wrong with me so didn't answer.

"Okay then I get it, you don't want to see me. Good luck tonight Clare"

"Jake wait. Please call off your men. Please don't bring out this side of Eli. He doesn't know any better, he's been stuck in a cave for half of his life. Please just call off the men and let Eli play the phantom. He won't cause any harm to anyone if you do. I'm frightened he will kill somebody if not more than one person." I said trying not to cry.

"He won't kill anybody Clare. My men are much stronger than Eli." Jake said confidently.

"Jake you don't know Eli like I do. He won't stop until he gets what he wants. You don't know what he's capable of."

Just then I heard a door shut from above us. It was Eli and he looked pissed once he saw Jake in here.

~ Eli's P.o.v ~

I was just on my way to Clare's dressing room when I heard Jake's voice coming from the other side of the door. I entered her room and slammed the door to make it obvious I was here.

I held the rose for Clare in my hand very tightly and was pissed off when I saw Jake talking to Clare. MY CLARE!

"What are you doing here Jake?" I asked him through clenched teeth.

"I'm here to wish Clare good luck tonight. And by the way… you better watch your back tonight. My men are ready for you" he said with a smirk. He then walked over to Clare and placed kiss on the top of her head and left.

I had expected her to push him off of her, but she didn't do anything. In fact she had a small smile on her face when he kissed her head. Even if it was for just a second.

"What the hell was that Clare?" I asked her pissed off even more.

"Eli. Stop" she said.

"No I'm not going to stop Clare. He came in here to talk to you saw me and kissed your head knowing you are mine. Not his. MINE. And the worst part is you didn't even have a reaction other than smiling at him."

She closed her eyes and sighed. Then she looked up at me while getting up from her dresser with a mirror.

"Look Eli. I know your nervous about tonight, but please just calm down."

"Why? Because you're scared I'm going to kill some more people? Well maybe I will."

"SNAP OUT OF IT ELI! Oh and happy birthday by the way" she said angry

I then threw one of my famous Black roses with a red ribbon tied around it at her and slammed the door.

~ Clare's P.o.v ~

God he made me so mad sometimes. I ripped the rose into pieces and started to cry. I hate it when he made me cry. I know he didn't mean to, but he was a nervous wreck and couldn't control his anger. I don't blame him. I would probably be the same way too if the situation was reversed.

I heard a knock on the door and then Cindy came in.

"I believe it's show time my dear."

Great. Here we go with one of the most exciting nights of my life. Tonight was the night Eli would snap out of it. We would share one last moment in this theatre on the stage. And then we would run away and live happily together forever.

I sighed and kissed the necklace around my neck. It held a cross that my father gave me a week before he died. Cindy then grabbed my arm and guided me to back stage.

Just then the owners made an announcement from their box.

"Ladies and gentleman. Welcome to Le grand Rex (a/n it's a random theatre in Paris I looked up online.)

Please be quiet at all times and take note of emergency exits. Thank you and enjoy the show featuring Clare Edwards as the lead." Everybody cheered and then the orchestra had started to play.

It started to play the Phantom of the opera. A song Eli had written for us to sing as a duet later on in the show.

Jenna had been the first one on stage. She was the main dancer, since she couldn't have my part.

Right when the curtains were supposed to close after the first song a body came flying down with a chain around its neck.

The war has started. And it was just beginning. This would be the first person Eli killed tonight. There would be more.

I looked up and saw Eli running down from the ceiling to a secret door backstage that nobody knew about.

"Everybody please do not panic….this is just a…..part of the show…..and nobody was harmed in this scheme." They lied. They were freaking out now. I then looked up at Jake. He was looking at me and then told his men to not go yet.

It was now time for 'Little Lion Man' this is the part where I was supposed to sing at the Phantom later in the song.

I heard a voice singing the chorus with me in harmony.

Dun dun dun dun! Hmmm whose is singing with Clare in perfect harmony? I'm sure it was the guy the owners picked to play the Phantom. I mean right guys? pshhh totally... Alright I'll shutup now with my non funny jokes XP Hehehehe review please ;)
