Let the Dream Descend (Phantom of the Opera Fanfic)

Beneath the Moonless Sky

So I procrastinated on two projects for school cuz I really wanted to finish writing and posting this haha...HERE'S THE MOMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR I HOPE YOU LOVE IT!!!!

Christine POV

I let out a gasp as I wake up. I sit up to find a crowd of curious eyes look at me. Was I going insane? The orchestra begins a song on a forte note. I turn to them and realize Raoul wasn't here. I would just go ahead and find him. The orchestra began to play as I slowly walked towards the stairs. Then something catches my eyes, Jack. His eyes widen as they don't look towards me, but to something behind me. I slowly turn around, unaware, of what was going on.

There he was.

I whipped around to face him. My breathing was frantic as I held my hands to my mouth. Erik was alive.

He was there.

He was here.

I rush towards him as he held his arms out to me. He enveloped me into a hug as I rest my head on his chest. His heart was beating as fast as mine. "Christine," he breaths into my hair.

I push him away.

He was alive all this time.

All this time, I looked for him.

I had hoped that he was alive.

But he was "dead".

Now after so many years he is here.

And he didn't even bother to look for me.

I walk backwards and break eye contact with him as I turn to face away from him. But I felt his eyes burn as he looked at me.

"I should have known that you'd be here," I whisper, "I should have known it all along, this whole arrangement bears your stamp," I sing.
"You're in each measure of that song."
I turn to face him as I walk a few feet forward, "How dare you try and claim me now!" He walks around me as keep facing him, "how dare you come invade my life!"

He looked calm and so serious as he began to sing, I gasp as I fall into a deep spell as I hear his voice, "Oh Christine, my Christine in that time that the world thought me dead," he comes closer as I end up leaning on the staircase railing as he touches my cheek ever so lightly.
"My Christine, on that night just before you were wed," my eyes widen as he points out into the crowd, I look into the crowd to find Raoul wide eyed. I shake the thought of the truth he just said and I turn to walk away from him but he holds onto my wrist tightly.
"Oh Christine, you came and found where I hid, don't you deny that you did," he shook my wrist hard as he attempted to get the truth out of me. I refused to look him in the eyes and finally fight his grasp. I stomp away until he says, "that long ago night."
I stop in place and breath, "that night."
"Once there was a night, beneath a moonless sky, too dark to see a thing...too dark to even try," Erik sang from behind me.
"I stole to your side, to tell you I must go," I look up and remember what seemed to be so long ago.
I picture his eyes, his sad eyes as they poured into me that night, "I couldn't see your face, but sensed you even so."
"And I touched you," I trailed my hand along my arm as I closed my eyes.
"And I felt you," Erik said from behind
"And I heard those ravishing refrains," we sang in unison finally.
"The music of your pulse," I gently touch my wrist.
"The singing in your veins."
"And I held you," I turned around to face him.
"And I touched you," he looked up at me.
"And embraced you," I slowly walk up to him.
"And I felt you."
"And with every breath and every sigh."
"I felt no longer scared," I raise my hand to glide it along his masked cheek.
"I felt no longer shy," He catches my hand to hold it against his as we looked into each other's eyes.
"At last our feelings bared
beneath a moonless sky."
