In The End

Once Upon A Dream

Christine's POV

"Come on Christine!!" Raoul screams at me. He's dragging me around the house like he has before, but this time he has ahold of my hair instead of my arm. I'm screaming from the pain of my hair being pulled so hard.

"Raoul...please!!!! I'm sorry!!! You're hurting me!!!" I beg him. Gustave is looking scared from his bedroom door.

"Gustave.........go back into your room!!" I yell. Raoul stops dead in his tracks, he turns and walks over to Gustave. I'm whimpering. I know he's going to make him watch. Raoul tugs my hair, making me fall screaming. He finally let's go of my hair, I run and throw Gustave behind me.

"Why do you always think that will stop me?" He asks me, grabbing my hair again. He throws me behind himself. I fall and I can't get up because he's on me.

"Gustave, you better stay right there! You know it will just be worse for your mother if you run." Raoul tells him. I can see Gustave crying. I want to sooth him but I can't and I can hardly breath.

"Raoul please don't make him watch it again!!!" I beg helplessly. He slaps me, my head hits the floor. I look up at him, I've made him even madder. First he comes home drunk, then he yells at me for not having food ready even though it was 10 pm. That's how I ended up here.

"Raoul!!!" I scream as he starts hitting me. Gustave has tears running down his face, trying to be quiet. A sob escapes his mouth, Raoul heard it. He stops hitting me and looks at him. He raises his hand, I grab it without thinking.

"Don't hit him!!" I say as I grab his arm. He turns back to me and hits me with all his force. All I see is black.

     When I wake up, I see Gustave shaking me, crying. Raoul's gone.

"Mother please wake up!!"

"I'm right here Gustave." I say and he grabs me, wrapping me in a hug. I gasp. My ribs are killing me. Raoul comes back until the room. Glass in hand.

"Well, sleeping Beauty had awaken. With a little help I'm guessing." He growls seeing Gustave. He walks over to me and pulls my hair. Just as he's about to smash it on my head, I hear my name being called.

"CHRISTINE!!!" Erik yells shaking me. I jump up and hug him crying. I can still feel Raoul's hands on me.

"Shhhh. Angel, I'm here." He sooths.

"What was I doing?" I ask him.

"Screaming something about Raoul and Gustave. Want to tell me what the nightmare was about?"

I restate what happened. His fists are clenched. He asks what happened afterwords. I tell him and he just hugs me.

"I love you mon ange." He tells me.

"I love you too Erik."
