A few days later...
"I must be out of my mind." Erik said while hanging onto a tree branch. "I honestly don't know what to do. I want to stay in Bourdeaux and not think of my problems. I want to start over and not think about the past." he mummbled "But yet, my heart every night aches for you Christine. I don't know why. Is it really because I love you or is it because I feel like something bad is going to happen?" he sighed "God I wish you would give me a sign. Christine...my Angel... I wonder if you're thinking about me. If you're wanting to see me."

At the same time at Raoul's Mansion.
"Christine?" Raoul said knocking on the door.
Christine was playing a piece on the piano and couldn't hear him, for she was too much involved in the music.
"Christine! Why are you composing?" Raoul yelled.
She stopped and opened the door and backed away. "Why does it matter?"
Raoul stepped in the room "I thought I said for you not to do that anymore."
"You said not to play the piano anymore. You didn't say anything about music!"
"Well, now I am. No music! No singing, No anything!" Raoul said harshly.
She gasped in horror " Raoul! you can't be serious!"
"I am being serious Christine!" he bellowed.
"What is wrong with me playing music? What is wrong with my singing? I thought I was going to be to perform again in Paris." she said as tears struck her eyes.
"No. We're strting a new life. Without this childish nonsense."
"You can't do that!" She yelled.
"Watch me!" He yelled back.
Raoul went up to her and grabbed her wrist really hard.
"Let go of me! Let me go Raoul! You're hurting me!" She screamed.
"Say you'll stop playing and I wil stop hurting you!" He said as he smacked her and kicked her
"No! I will never stop playing or singing! Ever!" She said as she tried to get up but couldn't because Raoul was still abusing her.
"Fine!" He said harshly as he grabbed her wrist and dragged her with him.
Christine resisted but Raoul hit her till she felt like all her bones were broken.
"No! Where are you taking me?!" She screamed and cried.
"To your room! I won't let you out until morning!" He yelled and laughed cruely and he dragged her across the floor and up the stairs.
"I am not a child! I'm your fiance!" She yelled and tried to get out of his hold but it was hopeless.
"Yes but also one that should obey her future husband! Goodnight Christine as he dropped her to the ground roughly and slammed the door.
"No! No! Raoul! Let me out! Please! Open the door!" she said as she tried to move again, but she felt like all off her bones were broken.
Raoul walked to the butler "Don't let her out! On any circumstances! Understand?"
"Oui Monsieur" The butler said.
"Oh and remove all music sheets,scores,piano,everything and take it back to her fathers household! I do not want it here! Anymore!"
"Oui Monsieur, Will have someone pick it up in the morning!"
"Do it now!" Raoul yelled.
"But... Monsieur..." The butler protested.
"I said now." Raoul said as his voice was in a warning tone.
"Oui monsieur." The butler said walking away.
"Good." Raoul said.
"Raoul please!" Christine said behind the door "Please! You can't leave me in here like this! Help me! Someone please!" Christine said crying. "Oh Angel where are you?! I need you! I need you!" She said crawling up to the mirror to see what Raoul had done.
Christine screamed at what Raoul had done to her.
"Oh Angel!" She cried in pain " Help me! Please!"

At that same time...
Orion was galloping as fast as he could through bushes, tree's and occasionally jumping over stuff.
"I am coming my darling Christine. I am on my way." Erik vowed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few hours later...
Christine is afraid and aches for her Angel. Erik decides to go back and tell Christine how he feels like he should go back because of the danger he feels inside.

One week later in the Opera House...
Madame Giry is having a flashback.
I wish you all the luck and promise to write as coming to visit me and Meg.
I will and I promise. Erik said.
"Oh my dear friend. I hope you are safe and well. I hope you will write to us soon. Meg and I miss you so much. I hope you are finding what you are looking for."
"I wonder what mother is doing?" Meg said getting up and walked to her mothers room. "Oh mother."
"I miss you."
"Hello mother." She said spritefully.
"Hi darling. What are you doing here?" She asked looking at her daughter.
"I don't have to do anything today, so I came by to you after I saw the reconstruction of the Opera House." she said grinning then frowned "Mother. I miss him too. He always had a way of brightening the mood when someone is down."
"Yes. He was very good at that wasn't he?" She said smiling part way.
"Yes. he was mother."
"Anyway Meg, as you were walking around and coming back did you try to talk to Christine today? I tried yesterday and they wouldn't let me see her."
"No. I also tried to get to her and they wouldn't let me."
"I wonder what has gotten into Raoul. He allows her to have music one minute. Then the next..."
"Excuse me, Madame." A tall man with a beard and black curly hair said while leaning on the wall.
"Why Gabriel? Why a pleasent suprise!" Madame said grinning.
"Monsieur Daae! What are you doing here?" Meg asked
"Why can't an old friend come to say hello?" He said walking up to them.
"Of course but we didn't expect to see you so soon. The wedding isn't here for the next couple of months." Madame Giry said chuckling.
"I know. But I wanted to see my lovely niece early and give her wedding present to her." He responded.
"Oh Gabriel... There's something..." Madame Giry said but got cut off.
"Oh I forgot to tell you that you have another guest here too." Gabriel said smiling.
"What? Who?" Madame Giry said confused.
"I'm not quite sure, I've never seen him before and he's definetely a different man than I've ever seen. Especially to see someone wearing a mask."
"Erik" The both whispered.
In the library...
"Erik is defintely here because this is one of his favorite pieces." Meg said as they all walked to the library.
"I can't believe she still has this piece. Now I feel like i'm at home." Erik mummered smiling.
He turned aroun "Hello Madame. Missed me?"
"Oh Erik! It is so good to see you! And I knew it was you once you began to play your favorite piece." Madame Giry said grinning.
"Well it is my favorite and I knew I had to play it."
"It is so good to see you. How are you? Where did you go? What was it like? Where the places you traveled to beautiful?" Meg asked curious to know.
"Meg please." Madame got cut off.
"No, I don't mind talking about it." Erik responded.
"Oh yes I remember the stories you told me." Gabriel pitched in.
"Wait Gabriel. I thought you said you didn't know who he is?" Madame Giry replied confused.
"Well, I sort of met him as I was making my way here. Monsieur...Erik Destler correct?"
"You are correct, Monsieur Daae. And you are Christine's Uncle." Erik replied to his question.
"Yes, you are correct."
"Anyway. Tell us. Please tell us everything." Meg interuppted.
"Alright, Meg." Erik said.
An hour later...
"That sounds quite an adventure." Gabriel started.
"Yes it does." Madame Giry said.
"Yes, it was an amazing and astounishing experience. I can't wait to do it again one day." Erik said smiling.
"Wait? Are you staying for a long time?" Meg and Madame Giry both said at the same time.
"For now. I've come back because I've missed you all as I have traveled." Erik said chuckling.
"I would too if I traveled all across France." Gabriel said joining into the converation.
"Oh Gabriel. Stop teasing." Madame Giry said in a warning tone.
"Oh Erik. We've missed you so much." Meg said then stopped as Erik began talking.
"As have I. Now please, tell me. How is everything here while I've been gone? Has Christine asked about me? How is she? Do you hear from her?" Erik asked Meg and Madame Giry.
Meg looked away.
"Meg?"
Madame Giry looked down.
"Madame?"
"Madaline? What is it?" Gabriel asked concerned for Christine's well being now.
"Mother. Please. They need to know."
"Meg. Will you please leave us? I'll tell them." Madame Giry said urging her daughter to go.
"No mother please let me..." Me replied but stopped as Gabriel started walking up to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Meg please." Madame Giry said almost begging now.
"Please Meg. It will be alright." Gabriel said turning her to the doorway.
Meg walked away with tears in her eyes.
"Alright Madaline please tell us what's going on?" Gabriel said walking up to stand by Erik.
"Everything has been fine but..." Madame Giry stopped and tears threatened to drop.
"But what?" Gabriel asked 'Oh no my niece' he thought 'Whats happened to her?'
"Christine was alright after you left Erik. She was still a little upset that you left but accepted it. But a week after you left. Something happened."
'Oh no. What could have happened to my Christine?' Erik thought while panicking.
"Raoul saw that Christine was playing the piano and went insane. He told her she couldn't play and sing anymore."
'Just like Isabelle said!"
Flashback...
Some of the main stars for example here in Bourdeaux would get married but never perform again because of their husbands. That was almost how it was with me."
Present...
"When she refused. He began to do things to her. I don't know what but I would imagine terrible things. But what I know is when he asked her to stop one more time, she refuse so he took her to her bedroom she's living in..." She stopped for a moment and looked at both gentlemen. "And he locked her in there for the entire night."
"What?!" The both exclaimed worried.
"He locked Christine in her bedroom!" Erik said as he felt anger building up inside him.
"Yes. And what I've heard from one of the servants at the mansion is he ordered anything music wise had to leave and be taken to her father's house."
"No wonder all the music sheets and piano came to my mansion." Gabriel said
"Wait. The mansion is still there?" Erik said suprised.
"Yes. When he died, his will said I owned the house so now me and my daughter and son-in-law live there." Gabriel said as he turned to Madame Giry. "Madaline, do you know why Raoul is acting this way?"
"No. Gabriel. I honestly don't know."
'Oh my Christine. What has he done to you?' Erik thought
