In The End

No!!!

Christine's POV

We brought Everleigh and Aiden home after a week, only to find the office and house destroyed!!! Erik was furious!! Gustave looked scared.  I don't know what to do!! I go put  the babies in their cribs to where I can still see them.  I walk over to Erik and lay my hand on his shoulder. He just turns around and hugs me.  I see something over his shoulder. I scream, and run to Everleigh and Aiden.  Erik turns quickly pulling out his pistol from his coat.

"So.....it's a happy little family now?" Raoul asks from the dark corner.

"How did you get out of my bonds Raoul? I've wondered that for almost a year now." Erik asks

I'm shocked and Raoul must see it on my face because he said.

"He never told you did he? Apparently not by that look."

"Dear, get the babies out of here!" Erik tells me with worry lacing his voice. I grab Everleigh and Aiden and I run out the door.  I hear a gunshot, I gasp, but I keep running with Aiden crying. 

"I know baby, I know, mommy is here, shush." I whisper calming both of them down after I stop and hide.  I pray that Erik isn't hurt, but my prayers come to an abrupt end when I hear Raoul calling for me. 

"Christine!!! Come out darling!!! I won't hurt you!!!"

Everleigh starts to stir again. She starts crying before I can stop her, I calm her down but I'm a little too late. Raoul pulls the crate I shove in front of us out. He has an evil grin on his face.

"Hello darling. Are those ours?" He asks.

"No you bastard!!! They are ERIK'S!!!!!" I scream at him.  His face turns to a blaze of anger!! His hand comes up to hit me, I turn away from him to shield my little angels, but the blow never comes. I just hear a thud on the ground. I look up to see Gustave there holding a log up defensively.  I start to cry, he comes down and takes Everleigh and Aiden.  I tell him to go get Madam Giry and Meg. He nods and I take off towards the office. 

"ERIK!!!!" I scream when I get in the office

"Angel..." I hear faintly

I run over and uncover him.  There's blood everywhere.  I put pressure on his stomach to try and stop the bleeding.

"You are not leaving me.....Erik answer me, come on keep talking darling!!" I cry to my Angel of Music. 

"I'm still here Christine. I'm not going anywhere." He says painfully. 

I get up and start grabbing shirts from the drawer he has here and just put more and more pressure on his wound.  I whisper to him...

"Don't you dare leave me.....I just got you back....I don't want to put Gustave, Everleigh,  and Aiden through losing you....so don't you dare leave me....I love you too much angel...."

"I didn't plan on it my darling...I'm just really weak. I love you too." He says back to me. Meg comes in running close behind is Gustave. 

"Mother is tying him up with tape..." Meg pants coming over to help me. 

"Gustave put your brother and sister in their cribs." I tell him. He listens and comes back over and asks what he can do. Meg says.

"Get the whiskey out of his top drawer."

I look at her, she shrugs and says.

"I've had a drink or two with him."

"Aw....don't waste good brandy!!" He whines

I don't listen, I uncover his wound and pour it on.  He curses and starts squirming on the floor. 

"Stay still you idiot!!! I have to sew this up!!" Meg yells at him. He stops real quick, and just breaths in deeply.

"Go.." He says. Meg starts sewing.
