(Christines POV)

December 2, 1886
It has been 6 months since i last saw my angel of music, Erik. Not a day went by where i didn't regret choosing Raoul instead of him. After that night Raoul became a drunk and abused me at least once a day, if not more. Though, one night after Raoul came home, drunk, I made the stupid mistake of confronting him about his drinking addiction, that only caused me to gain bruises and cuts all over my body. I cried silently for most of the night until I decided that that was the last straw.
I was going to leave Raoul and go to the one that I truly loved, my angel of music, my Erik. I eventually found a carriage to take me to the opera house after hours of searching and was surprisingly there in a matter of minutes.
When I entered the old abandoned building old memories immediately hit me like an oceans wave. I remembered the night of Il muto when the chandelier fell and the night that i have deeply regretted for months. I continued walking until i heard the sound of a piano playing in the distance. At first I thought mind was playing tricks on me but as i continued walking down the hallway it became louder. The melody was filled with sadness but it also had a hidden beauty to it, just like my angel.
I finally reached my dressing room door and found that it was surprisingly well kept from the fire. I silently opened my mirror and began walking down the dark path. When I reached the lake I felt as though i was being weighed down by a boulder that laid on my heart as i saw him playing. I tried to stay as silent as possible until I couldn't hold it any longer and i accidentally whispered "Angel" a little to loudly.
His head immediately turned to where i stood and i saw that his eyes were full of shock and a hint of unsureness. He quickly rushed over to me and tightly embraced me." Oh Christine" he whispered into my ear as i embrace him back. "Hello Angel" i said as we released. "W-What are you doing here?" he asked looked down at the floor. " I came here for you... i missed you...and Raoul-" i tried to stop what i was saying but it was too late. Erik immediately looked at me with a fire burning in his eyes "What did that fop do!?!" Erik gritted through his teeth as he balled his hands into fists. This was exactly why i was avoiding this topic, i hated seeing him angry. "H-he abused me" I whispered quietly, looking down at the ground as tears fell down my cheek. Not a moment I felt strong arms around me and looked up to see my angel holding me tightly. I violently sobbed into his chest as he patted my head. " I swear i will kill that fop for what he did to you" my angel whispered, which only made me sob more.

A few moments later he picked me up bridal style and laid me on the bed. He then tried to leave but i grabbed his hand before he walked away. "Angel, please sing for me" i asked sweetly hoping that he would. " Of course mon ange" he said sitting on the side of the bed. He started to sing the song that he sang to me on the night we met, and i was asleep before the 3rd verse.
