This is how I wanted POTO to end...I'm not a fan of Raoul, and I am madly in love with Gerry Butler! BTW, I don't own any character in this story (although I wish I did...).
You have come here
in pursuit of
your deepest urge,
in pursuit of
that wish,
which till now
has been silent,
silent . . .
Christine looked up when she heard that voice. She immediately knew who it was. It was her Angel of Music...The Phantom of the Opera.
"Christine, do not let your feelings show. You are an engaged woman! You are the future Countess de Chagny. This man deceived you. He is a monster and a murderer." Christine had to remind herself over and over again. She was doing a master job at hiding her feelings...until she felt his hands on her. When he touched her, she lost herself. She lost herself in the music, the song, and in her Angel's voice. She went through the rehearsed movements, but was completely lost in the Phantom's voice and the words to the music. Suddenly, she realized she was on the bridge in his arms and he began singing very softly to her:
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me
from my solitude . . .
Say you want me
with you,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go too
Christine
that's all I ask of...
Before he could finish, Christine kissed him on the lips. He seemed shocked, but returned the kiss. She quietly whispered to him, "I love you, mon Ange." She looked in the audience and saw Raoul crying like a little girl. She knew that she betrayed him, but she couldn't live her life with him. He was a cold fish compared to the Phantom. There was no passion in her relationship with Raoul.
"Christine, we must finish my opera..."
The rest of the night was a daze for Christine. She finished the opera, and she and the Phantom had made their quiet escape into his underground home. He also revealed his name to her...Erik. And Erik knew that they would be found quickly and he would be charged with murder. He knew that he had to formulate a plan, and it had to be fast.
I'm not sure about how to continue, or even if I should. Ideaswould be helpful...I have a few in mind, but I'm not sure if they are good...but please give me honest input about ANY improvements.
