(Audio for her arrest)

Christine sat down in the darkness, a lot of people where around well other prostitutes. The wind got colder on her skin with ever blow, the tried to cut her hair, they took some of her teeth, took most of her clothes. What next? She sat there helplessly, hoping she can get enough money to get back to her son.

"Here's something new! I think I'll give it a try" a man approached her with his friends, the brunette quickly stood up. 
"Come closer, you. I like to see what I buy
The usual price for just one slice of your pie" me used a cane and started to lift up her skirt with it, making her tiredly back up.

"I don't want you,,,No, no, Monsieur, let me go" she held her arms close to her as she froze. He scoffed "Is this a trick? I won't pay more." "No, not at all" she responded while he got closer to her again.

"You've got some nerve, you little slut
You've got some gall" he gave an evil smile before grabbing a handful of snow and shoved it Into her corset. The woman scratched his face, the blood quickly came out as he backed up in shock and pain.
"By Christ, you'll pay for what you've done
This rat will make you bleed you'll see!
I guarantee, I'll make you suffer!" He yelled at her, she saw inspector de chayne in the distance and quickly followed the man

"I beg you, don't report me, sir
I'll do whatever you may want…" Christine begged and pulled on his arm trying to make him stop,if she was blamed she would be thrown into jail. She would never see her son again. the man saw de changy approaching and turned to her "Make your excuse to the police!"

"Tell me quickly what's the story
Who saw what, and why, and where?
Let him give a full description.
Let him answer to changy!
In this nest of whores and vipers
Let one speak who saw it all.
Who laid hands on this good man here?
What's the substance of this brawl?" Inspector changy looked between the two and the other people around. A few people backed up away from them, not wanting to get involved. A masked man watched from the darkness, planning in stepping in if anything worse happened.

"Changy, would you believe it
I was crossing from the park
When this prostitute attacked me
You can see she left her mark." The man claimed, causing Christine's face to sink into despair. Changy glanced at her before looking back to the man "She will answer for her actions, When you make a full report. You may rest assured, M'sieur
That she will answer to the court."

Christine pushed past the man and stood In front of the officer with tears in her eyes
"There's a child who sorely needs me
Please M'sieur, he's but"she raised her hand to around her chest expampling "'that high' Holy God, is there no mercy?
If I go to jail he'll die!"

Raoul expression stayed the same as she pleaded
"I have heard such protestations
Every day for twenty years.
Let’s have no more explanations,
Save your breath and save your tears." He told her and she rubbed her arms trying to Warm herself.
"Honest work. Just reward. That's the way to please the Lord'." Changy mumbled not noticing the taller figure approaching

"A moment of your time, officer changy
I do believe this woman's tale." Erik protested and looked at her, Christine backed away from him, looking for a way to run if she needed too.

Raoul:
But M'sieur Mayor!

Erik:
You've done your duty
Let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail

Raoul:
But M'sieur Ma-

Erik cut him off once more then looked at Christine who had her back to him, refusing to look at him. Where will she end
"This child without a friend" he came closer to her, something about her seemed familiar, he had seen her before he just didn't know where.

"I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief
In such a place as this?" Erik asked touching her shoulder, causing her to jump away and look at him

"M'sieur, don't mock me now,,,I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride!
You let your foreman send me away
Yes, you were there! and turned aside!" She cried then spit on his jacket hoping that will get him to leave her "I never did no wrong…"

Erik:
Is it true, what I've done?

Christine:
My son's close to dying...

Erik:
To an innocent soul?

Christine:
If there's a God above

Erik:
Had I only known then.

Christine:
He'd let me die instead.

"In His name my task has just begun.
I will see it done." Erik carefully picked her up causing her to flinch then cling onto him making sure she doesn't fall "I will take her to the hospital"

Raoul:
But M'sieur Mayor

Erik looked at the freezing woman in his arms "where is your child?" Christine let a few tears run down her cheeks "w-with an innkeeper away from me" the masked man nodded "I will see it done"

Christine layed there weakly crying as a nurse left, her energy slowly draining from her. Closing her eyes She imagined her little boy and gently sang "Gustave it's turned so cold,,, Gustave it's past your bedtime" her voice quivering. Erik quietly came back up the stairs and stood just behind one of the curtains, tears formed as he listened to the woman.

"You've played the day away, and soon it will be night" the soprano looked at the otherside of the dull room and sadly smiled "Come to me, Gustave the light is fading"
She watched her son began to walk to her.
"Don't you see the evening star appearing?
Come to me, and rest against my shoulder" she slowly reached out to one of the sheer curtains her child was behind, desperately wanting to hold him. "How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder."

Erik wiped his teary eyes away and walked towards the woman, she weakly tried to sit up to get to her child only for Erik to carefully take her shoulders and put her back down making her look at him "Dear Christine, Gustave will be here soon. Dear christine he will be by your side" the brunette looked back to the curtain, her child no longer there. She looked distressed trying to get up again "c-come Gustave,, my child- where did you go?" She cried as Erik rested her in his arms

"Be at peace,,,be at peace evermore" he gently laid her back down "my gustave" she whispered still looking "he will live in my protection" Christine looked back to him and nods "ta-take her now" her voice began to wear out. The musician moved the piece of hair out of her face "your child will want for nothing"

"Good m-monsieur,, you come from heaven"

"And none shall hurt Gustave
As long as I am living." Erik promised her

"Take my hand,,, and the night grows colder"

"Then I will keep you warm" he cupped her face As a tear ran down his cheek

"Take m-my child, I give him,, to your keeping"

"Take shelter from the Storm,,,"

"For G-god's sake,,, please stay till I am sleeping,,
And tell gu-gustave I love him
And I'll see her when I wake,,,"

Erik watched as her body limp, more tears ran down and he pulled the covers on her more. This poor woman and her child,,, he will find him, he made his promise.
