chapter 1

in the darkness the glowing figure of a beautiful woman suddenly appears. she is ravishing and breathtaking. alive behind her circles a man in a mask. erik the phantom of the opera. he embraced her from behind and their bodies entwined. but at the height of the ecstatic moment. the moment that the woman is not real. but a cleverly devised automation. erik pulls back breaking the spell. The lights rise revealing erik work room. erik sighed and knew he missed his bella. the one and only for him. sure, he thought Christine was that person. but when she kissed him, it felt gross to him. but bella was different. Well, she is different. but he knew she was the one for him. but he did something that might not make her forgive him.

"Ten long years, living a mere façade of life. ten long years. wasting my time on smoke and noise. in my mind, I hear melodies pure and unearthly, but I find, I can't give them a voice without you! my Isabella…! my Isabella! lost and gone… lost and gone… the day starts. The day ends. time crawls by. night steals in, pacing the floor. the moment creeps, yet I can't bear to sleep. till I hear you sing… and weeks pass. and months pass, seasons fly. still, you don't walk through the door, and in a haze. I count the silent days till I hear you sing once more. and sometimes, at night tomes. I dream that you are there. but I wake holding nothing but the empty air. and years come and years go time runs dry, still I ache down to the core. my broken soul cant be alive and whole. till I hear you sing once more. and music…. your music… it trases at my ear. I turn and it fades and you're not really here! let hopes pass. let dreams pass! let them die! with out you what are they for? I'll always feel no more that halfway real, till I hear you sing once more!" sang erik

erik closed his eyes and thought of what he was going to do to get his beloved here. He needed her in his life. even though he was hoping she would come. He gently and lovingly covered up the lifeless mannequin. but his thoughts were interrupted when meg and madam giry Bersted in. meg rushed over to erik in hope he was happy to see her. madam giry circled the area where the mannequin of bella is. even though he moved the one out that looked like Christine to throw them off. They had no clue about his beloved bella. his sweet and powerful bella. his moon queen. He wanted to be her king. but like hell that would ever happen. but he did have hope for it.

"Tell me did you watch? tell me that you saw! did you hear the crowd? the way they cheered? I hope your proud… did you like the new routine? was it passable, I mean? I change a thing or two. what should I do? no, don't say it… I can guess. but I promise ill progress…" said meg

"yes, if yourse, whatever you feed is best…" said erik

erik wondered why he ever keeps these two around. yes, they have helped him and he helped them as well. but he was always annoyed with them. lord forbid if they found out about his Isabella. but he was going to make them think he was still in love with Christine. but Isabella voice was much better than Christine. but for now, his eye was twitching in annoyance while madam giry was looking around with suspicion about the switch. Meg was still rambling on more and more to see if he even cared to know that her performance was great.

"did the costume look ok? too revealing. would you say? people seemed to like the view." said meg

"meg please." warned madam giry

" I could show a bit more skin…. that would surely bring them in." said meg

"meg! cant you see the master at work? cant you see that his mind is somewhere else? cant you see that obviously he thinking of things more important than you!" said madam giry

"careful madam, your forgetting yourself," warned erik

erik was getting more and more annoyed with the two of them. and madam giry is the worst one of the two. yes, meg just wanted to prove herself. but he knew what she felt for him as well. but he would never return those feelings to her. and he felt for her for that. but right now, he was trying to get rid of the two pest right now. he has things more important than the two pain in his ass are nagging him. madam giry looked to her daughter and wondered why the hell erik would never look at her the way he did with the bitch Christine. even though she had a feeling that his feelings for Christine were gone long ago. she always saw how he looked at Raoul odd ball freak of a sister with her two guards.

"don't you see he forgot what this is? opening day, big deal, what the fuss? our success means naught, I guess.. compared to the things the master must do." said madam giry

" that is quite enough from you" hissed erik

madam giry arched a brow and made her way over to the area where he made the decoy from them not finding out about bella. his sweet Isabella. his sweet moon goddess. as madam giry marched her way over to the decoy of Christine not Isabella. as she rips the cover off the mannequin. as she gasped from what she was seeing. How could he still want her. the bitch was a whore. and nothing more. and she used him shamelessly. even though she was doing the same thing. along with her daughter. yes, she was pushing her daughter to be with erik. but she knew it was never going to happen. even though she knew she would not stop trying. madam giry made meg leave so she could have a word with erik.

"Christine! Christine!" snapped madam giry

"in paris, when the mob surrounded you, who was there? we were there! where was she, when the lawmen hounded you? gone, long gone. we stayed on. who concealed you safe away? smuggled you up to Calais? found a freighter out of France. " said madam giry

"I don't see the problem. this is ancient history!" snapped erik

"and once here. when the sideshow hired you. who stood by? meg and i! while they kept you on display. who kept working night and day? who gave you their very lives? and who helped you buy that sideshow? who helped you finance your scheme? who wouldn't quit till your act was a hit. and your hit could become your dream? who plied the politicians? lured investors and the press? no not her! and who stayed with you. helped you and advised you? we stayed with you. loved you and idolized you! she betrayed you. shunned you and despised you! she chose Raoul, chose his beauty and youth! it past time you faced up to….." said madam giry

"ENOUGH! you be repaid as I promised you would. now, if you got anything else left to say? hissed erik

erik released madam giry neck and made his point acrossed, with out another word madam giry leves the room and not another word from her. She knew she went to far. for a moment erik is thrown. then he turns back to the real automation. almost as if for support. his Isabella. his moon angel. the one and only. and he has a feeling that madam giry might know of his feelings for her. but he was not going to hold his breath on that. He never loved Christine. He leaned that when she kissed him. and it tasted as if she has a shit load of cum in her mouth. and it was foul. But bella his Isabella the one who showed no fear of his face. But he knew she was the one when Christine kissed him. He knew that her brother would not wish for him to be with her. but he didn't care. He knew she was blood adopted by them. but he was not going to give up on his bella.

"oh, my Isabella! my isabella! yes, you accepted my face. but isabella. what we shared. even you cant ignore, my isabella. ill be no longer denied! ill have you back at my side.! my sweet isabella! and come what may I swear you somehow, some way. I will hear you sing once more!" said erik

erik handed the letter that was going to be sent to his isabella. while miss fleck was going to go and mail it off. while erik smiled to himself. he felt so much better after the giry issue. he knew in his heart his bella would be coming back to him. well that is what he hoped. he knew his bella felt something for him that night. and he was going to find out. even if he has to fight her brother. but he knew her two loyal friends would be ok with it, he knew sailor pluto knew more than she is letting on. but he wont push since he got hit in the head by her. and szayel he was her son in law but he liked him. he even offered to fix his face. he had mix feelings on that one. erik sighed and went back to work.

meanwhile a month later

bella sighed she been here for a few years now. After Endymion battle, she was tossed into the pass again. but this time it was with szayel and pluto as well. It didn't bother her any that the two of them was with her. since pluto was with her the last time as well. but having a doctor who knows her was great. the de chagny household found her and healed her back to health. even though they knew everything about her since she showed them her memories and they were happy to have their blood adopted by her. bella has been happy with her blood adopted brother Raoul. even though she is disappointed in his choice of wife. not because she is a singer. because bella herself is a singer. but Christine shamelessly used the poor phantom for fame. even though bella was friends with the phantom whos name is erik. he knew her who life since she trusted him with it and pluto told her to do it. but bella followed her around when Raoul ran the opera house. she overheard her schemes. But when the opera house burned down that was when Raoul still thought of Christine as this innocent. but bella was friends with the phantom. She went to go and search for the phantom before her brother wedding night. and they shared a beautiful night together. but when she awoke the next morning to tell that she loved him he was gone.

A few months after that night she had a son Lucius loki laufeyson. She didn't take the de chagny name. bella sighed her brother was upset with her. but he didn't know who the father was. and that was where she was going to keep at it. But Christine was jealous of her since she was not able to have any children from what the doctor had said. plus, bella knew that Christine and Carlotta teamed together and locked her in a cell for a week. Raoul went crazy trying to find her. but bella didn't say anything. plus lost her chance to sing. but it didn't bother her.

meanwhile 10 years later

bella sighed as she was reading with lucius napping in her lap. She needed to make sure Christine didn't get near him. He is a prince of the silver kingdom. but bella can't be around lucius all day she has other business she had to do since she is the only one other than Raoul bring in income to the household. since Christine gambles it all away. bella sighed and went back to her book. lucius was tired because the doctor came and checked him over since chrisntine went after him again. bella pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. that was when Raoul came in.

"Sister dear, Christine is invited to sing in America. but she doesn't want to do it. So, I'm asking you since you are much better than her singing. We need this more than anything. so, can you take her place." said Raoul

"sure why not brother dear. I don't mind helping out with my voice." said bella

Raoul sighed in relief that bella agreed to do this. it was a huge relief off his shoulders. but he knew he needed to bring Christine with them. he hated the fact that he has asked so much of bella. She is a great sister since she has been helping where it was needed. but Christine keeps spending the money. He has been thinking about divorcing her. but he can't bring his heart to do it. He loved her dearly. but the love was dying out slowly. bella pink and red eyes looked to her brother and knew where his thoughts were, and she didn't blame him. but she didn't mind doing this. Plus, it would be a wonderful gift to her little one.

meanwhile a few days later

bella and Lucius walked off the boat with Raoul and a drunk Christine beside him. that was the only way he was able to get her off the boat. while bella walked out while the press was looking at her. thinking she was Christine. Raoul waved them all off while Christine huffed and rolled her eyes. That was when the carriage rolled around to pick them all up. bella watched amused at what she was seeing before her. as the carriage stopped before them. That was when three people came out of the carriage. bella smiled while Lucius walked to look around the carriage.

"Are you ready to begin? Are you ready to get on? your about to start out on the journey of your lived." said squelch

"if your ready to get in, once you're in, then we will get gone, and who knows once it goes, where you'll be when it arrives." said gangle

with a fluid motion he removed raouls top hat. bella snickered when Raoul was getting pissy over something like that. They seemed to be kind. she didn't mind them. and she thought they were kind of cooks. while Lucius was looking on with joy in his eyes. This was something that she was happy to see. after being couped up on the ship with Christine the whole time. bella sighed and looked on with more amusement. gangle and squelch flanked the family and lead them over to the bird like carriage.

"The fun house mirrors all reflect what is real" said fleck

"The reality is twisted as the mirror reveal." said fleck and gangle

"And the fun is what the mirrors show." said fleck, gangle and squelch.

"Everything and everyone, it's all just how I dreamed, all the freaks and all the fund. exactly how I dreamed, and phantasma still awaits/. just wonder what's behind its gates." said lucius

The group is now at the door of the interesting carriage. bella is led inside. then a grumpy Raoul who is protesting. bella smacked in the back of the head to tell him to shut the hell up. Raoul glared at his sister as he placed a passed-out Christine on the seat next to him. bella was getting this feeling that she might know who was behind this. and if so, she wanted to kick him in the nuts for daring to fuck her and then leave her after she shared something special with him. but she was going to keep that in mind if her thoughts were correct. gangle was in awe at the one who is taking christien place. The master made sure that she was to be treated with respect. but her eyes are so beautiful. They are like gems.

meanwhile a few hours later

Raoul settled Christine in their room as he made it back to bella room. it was much grander than theirs. but she deserved it. There was a huge window with ornate draped, a chaise and some chairs and some table, and a piano with music sheets on it. As the family enteres Lucius runs to the piano and snatches and object from it. bella smiled she thought about her son tamaki when she saw Lucius rush to a piano like that. He sits with his back to his mother and his uncle. preoccupied with his new find. Raoul immediately goes to the table and poors him a glass of brandy. bella sighed he was getting as bad as Christine. but having Christine as a wife would make you wish to drink. She gets one here and there when the day is stressful.

"What a dreadful town! what a vulgar place! what a mistake to have come here! to be on display in a shameless way for crude lower-class scum here. how do they dare to treat us so!" said Raoul

"uncle dear, come and play with me, and see this toy I got," said Lucius

Lucius looked at his uncle and wondered why he was in such a bad mood. but he was not going to ask. but he looked to his mother and wondered what she was thinking right now. He knew his mother was able to stop his uncle doing stupid stuff. he hated his aunt Christine she is so mean to him. and he hated her. while bella sighed and knew Raoul was not in the mood right now. all because of Christine was being a bitch. and that is why he was in the room with them. Plus having a wife like Christine was enough to make you wish to drink.

"What a snub, at most, from our so-called host…. Did he think sending freaks would be funny? could the fool thought our pride was bought by his filthy American money? what a farce! what outright bitch slap in the face… it's an utter disgrace. I got in mind to pack and go. never you mind the debts we owe. who would believe we sunk this low?" ranted Raoul

"Uncle, please come and play with me." pleaded Lucius

"Tell the boy the answer is no." said Raoul

Raoul hated being mean to his little nephew. but he was not in the mood to be playing right now. but he would play with him later. bella sighed and wondered what Christine this time did to piss him off. or put him in one of his moods. bella went over to the piano and read the music sheet there so she knows what she needed to play. bella started humming and playing a few notes from the song. It was the most beautiful song she had ever heard. even though she didn't know who wrote it. Raoul groaned and wondered why his sister had to go and play that right now.

"Must you make that racket?" asked Raoul

"Brother dearest it's the song I'm supposed to sing tomorrow." said bella

"It hurts my head." said Raoul

bella eye twitched when he said that. he been like that since the time with erik. but she was not going to stop loving erik because he has some issue with him. but it seemed that Raoul was going to be in a pissy mood all night. Christine must not be giving him the pussy right now. so, she must be on her pussy strike again because he was telling her to not gamble or do what she wanted to do. bella sighed and wondered if things were going to be ok with those two. But she knew Raoul would never leave her for the fact that he loved her still. but bella sighed and knew she was going to keep some of the money and buy a house here in coney island she liked it here. Plus, her soul feels connected to something here. something that she hasn't felt connected to in a very long time.

"Please brother dearest let's not fight, I'm sure that no one intended a slight dear brother." said bella

"Sister dearest don't you patronize me. it's your fault we came here." said Raoul

"You asked me to do this since Christine refused to do this. and im doing this because you need the money for your wife gambling issues," said bella

"Uncle dear, come over here, looked what they gave me, wind it up, uncle see, look it plays a melody." said Lucius

Raoul sighed he knew he shouldn't be taking his anger out on his sister because of his issues. She is doing this to help him. even though he knew she was going to keep some of the money for herself. he had a feeling that she wanted to remain on coney island. It had been a long time since he had seen her so relaxed. and he had a feeling it would be good for the boy. his silver hair and his eyes would be able to fit in here and make friends. He never judges his nephew for getting his mother's eyes. and silver hair with black in it. but he knew it was from her lunarian blood. Lucius started the toy as it started to play the tune the band the dockside, Raoul was unable to bear it and smashed it down. That was when someone had sent a message and Raoul had to leave. Lucius asked why his uncle never wished to play with him. and If he loved him. bella sat Lucius next to her his long hair tied back in a black ribbon like Lucius always had it. it reminded her of Lucius until she found out he was loki.

"Love's a curious thing It often comes disguised Look at love the wrong way It goes un-recognized So look with your heart And not with your eyes A heart understands A heart never lies Believe what it feels
And trust what it shows Look with your heart The heart always knows Love is not always beautiful
Not at the start So open your arms And close your eyes tight Look with your heart And when it finds love
Your heart will be right Learn from someone who knows Make sure you don't forget Love you misunderstand Is love that you'll regret… Look with your heart And not with your eyes The heart can't be fooled The heart is too wise Forget what you think Ignore what you hear Look with your heart It always see's clear Love is not always beautiful Not at the start But open your arms And close your eyes tight Look with your heart And when it finds love Your heart will be right" sang bella

Lucius smiled as he walked away with his nanny, bella hums the melody that she just sang to her son. as she picked up the toy up off the floor where Lucius left it. bella winds it up and let it play. instead of the marching band musiuc. the toy started to play something else. bella freezes and felt something or someone coming close to the doors. that was when she turned around only to see erik there. as she and erik stare at one another for a moment not sure what to think of the sight before her. erik couldn't breathe he thought it would have been Christine. but it wasn't it was the woman he wanted for a long time and share a beautiful night with.

"oh for the love of all that is holy. I should of known it was you all along. this whole arrangement bears you stamp all over it. your in each measure of that song… and you try and claim me now! how dare you come and invade my life!" hissed bella

"Oh Isabella…. my Isabella! At that time the world thought me dead. my Isabella, one that night before your brother was wed, ah, Isabella! You came found where I hid, don't you deny that your did. that long ago niiiiight!" said erik

bella closed her eyes and remembered that night perfectly and smiled to herself. she would never deny that night. it was the greatest night of her life. and that is saying something she never had it that great with her ex-husbands. but erik was beautiful and was so wonderful and sexy and great with her that night. erik sighed she was here. he was hoping inviting Christine would have brought bella back to him. and here she is before him. He knew his plan worked. but he didn't know what she would think when she saw him. yes, she was going to be pissed off when it came down to how he took off after the night they shared. but she needed to go back to her brother. even though he wondered if it was the right choice to make that night.

"Once, there was a night, beneath the moonless sky, so dark to see a thing. too dark to even try." said erik

"I stole by your side to tell you I must go. I couldn't see your face. but I sensed you even so. and I touched you," said bella

"And I felt you" said erik

erik closed his eyes thinking of that night so long ago. as he remembers the things that they did and the things he did to her. oh, how he thought about those through the long ten years. even though madam giry thinks him stupid thinking he didn't know she was trying to set him up with her daughter. but giry never knew about bella and how he felt about her. bella sighed and thought of the filthy things that they had done that night. oh, how they pleased her greatly. its so hard to not jump him right now. even though he still sexy as hell.

"And I heard those ravishing refrains," said bella and erik

"The music of your pulse." said bella

"The singing in your vains. said erik

erik ran his hands down his leg as he thought about the things, he did to her. it was hard for him to not jump her right now. and pull his cock out and show her who she belonged to. but he knew she was to pissed off at him for him to even get that far. hell, she didn't kick him in the nuts that was a plus. He thought she would have done just that. bella shivered in delight from what she was remembering. she wished he would take her right now. but she was not going to let him if he dared to try because she thinks he needed to earn her forgiveness back for the bang bang and goodbye after great sex. well making love in her books.

"And I held you." said bella

"And I touched you." said erik

"And I embraced you" said bella

"And I felt you" said erik

"And with every breath and every sigh" said bella and erik

erik sighed and remembered the noised that she made that night. for ten years he took himself I hand remembering that night. and the number of times that they did it. He remembered her feeding from him. oh, how delightful was it was when she fed from him for blood. but not too much. but he had woman offer themselves to him, but he denied them. no ne would fulful his needs only bella is able to do so. while bella sighed and knew that erik must have been thinking of what they did that night. but she never wanted to have another man after him. she had a feeling they were soulmates. and he was meant to be her king.

"I felt no longer scared," said bella

"o felt no longer shy" said erik

at last, our feelings bared, beneath the moonless sky." said erik and bella

"and, blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul, I looked into your heart, and saw you pure and whole," said bella

"cloaked under the night, with nothing to suppress, a woman and a man, no more and yet…. no less. and I kissed you," said erik

bella closed her eyes this was getting to much for her. She was feeling things that she hadn't felt in ten years. but right now, she was very angry with him. She has been for a long time now. but she knew she would forgive him sooner or later. She knew Trista and szayel must be feeling what she was feeling right now. but they did not bother to come since they knew she needed this. but she was not sure how she was going to tell erik that Lucius is his son. that was going to be a big issue there. and she was going to have to figure it out. and her brother was not going to be happy. not like she cared anyways. She was only doing this to help him.

"And I caressed you…." said bella

"And the world around us fell away. we said things in the dark we never dared to say!" said bella and erik

"And I caught you!" said erik

"And I kissed you!" said bella

"And I took you" said erik

"And I caressed you." said bella

erik caressed her sides and wanted to moan in pleasure from feeling her body near his. He was in pure heaven. She still smelled like moonlight. oh, how he felt when she fed off him. taking the blood, she needed to feed herself. erik knew he was going to have to relieve himself later from even being around her like this. bella groaned feeling his hands on her. his very strong hands. the hands that done a great many things to her. a great many things. oh, how she wanted him to take her right now. but she was not going to let him. since she needed to forgive him for even daring to make love to her and take off with his dick between his legs. and left her to be pregnant with a man she didn't love. who happened to be her son in law. who he pretended to be her husband. which she was not enthused about. but she was grateful to him.

"With a need to urgent to deny. and nothing mattered then. except for you and I, again and then again. beneath a moonless sky," said erik and bella

"And when it was done, before the sun could rise. ashamed of what I was. afraid to see your eyes. I stood while you slept, and whispered goodbye. and slipped into the dark beneath the moonless sky," said erik

"And I loved you, yes, I loved you! I'd follow you anywhere you led. I woke to swear my love. and found you gone instead!" growled bella

"And I loved you!" said erik

"And I love you" said bella

"And I left you!" said erik

"and I had to… both of us knew why." said erik

" we both knew why" said bella

" and yet I wont regret from now until I die, the night I cant forget beneath the moonless sky." said bella and erik

erik put his hands on his face as he herd the anger in her voice. There was so much anger in her. and he could understand why she would be angry with him for what he had done. but she needed to understand what he did and why. and now he was able to provide for her and be there for her. but he needed to have her to forgive him for what he had done. bella glared at erik from what she had said then again, she would never stop loving him. since she knew he was her soul mate. and her future king. but right now, she was just very angry with him. but she was going to forgive him. but just not right now. and then there is her son as well. erik sighed as they both knew why they did what they had to do.
