My Knight In Shining Armor With A Mask (Phantom Of The Opera Fanfic)

No Other Option

Nadir's POV

I ran to Victor, still sobbing his heart out to her. I couldn't bear tp see my dear friend like this - sobbing uncontrollably over a lifeless and pale girl.

I kneeled in front of them.ęI checked her pulse....and she was still alive!

"Move over...she still has a pulse." I said calmly. She was fine but the redness on her neck looks painful.

"We need to place her on the bed. I'll treat her...and wipe your tears." He wiped his tears while looking at her.

After placing her on Victor's bed and after examining her wound, she was alright but she needed care on her neck.

It looked like someone tied a rope around it...but who did this?

"Victor...who did this?" But he didn't answered. "Who did this!?" I shouted.

"It was...me....Me!" I gasped but he still continued while sobbing. "I...almost killed her...My Maria..Maria"

He sobbed while kneeling beside her and holding her hand.

"Victor....pull yourself together!" I shouted while shooking his shoulders. "How can you be like this?...she's just a girl" He stopped and towered over me. It was frightening.

"She's a beautiful, nice, talented and...the one who truly accepted me." he shouted before collapsing next to her.

"But I harmed her...me!...a hideous freak!" He yelled while I sighed.

This is getting me nowhere...I thought.

"Victor...stop crying. She needs some rest." He finally wiped away his tears and walked away from her.

After wrapping her neck with a bandage, I needed to do what's best.

I walked to Victor, who slouched on his chair, thinking deeply.

"Victor...She needs to go home." He wasn't looking which made me sighed and finally said   "And I'm sorry to say this...but we have no other option...you must get away from her." He now looked at me but he wasn't speaking.

"Just go...I don't want to harm her." I nodded. "I don't know where she lives...but I know you do. I'll drive and you'll carry her to my car." He nodded and went to her before grabbing his mask.

After carrying her to the boat, he rowed the boat while I seated next to the sleeping Maria....

Victor's POV

I now placed her at the passengers' seat while Nadir and I seated at the front. I gave the instructions to him and we rode off.

I couldn't be beside the girl who I loved...and the girl who I almost killed. It will be painful.

This will be the last time I'd hurt her...and see her. I couldn't bear to see her hurt because of me.

All those memories...all shattered because of me, even I didn't how...but it was happened by my hands.

By the hands of a hideous monster, who would never find love ever again.

My thought were suddenly interrupted when Nadir parked the car at Maria's house.

"I'll be here...waiting." I nodded, opened the car door and carried to the front porch of her house.

I setted her on the hammock. I left before kissing her on the forehead which made her smile and ringing the doorbell.

I ran back to Nadir's car never looking back. I sat there quietly...but a tear came out of my eye.

"Maria..." I sobbed, covering my face with my hands. It's over...I never have to see her again.

"It's ok...It's for the best" He say calmly. "I just wanna go home...It's at 14th Rose Street." He only nodded and drove home.

I didn't look back or think of her house. It might make me cry more.

It's for the best, Victor....I thought.

Suddenly, one of my favorite songs...and also Maria's was being played on the radio.

'Say something I'm giving up on you'

I sobbed as we rode to my home...

Maria's POV

I woke up in a hammock...but it's not just any hammock...my hammock!

Why was at home!?  Where's Victor!? Suddenly, all the events went back to my head.

Me tending Victor's wound, Him waking up and his memory loss, The lair half destroyed...his yellow eyes.

I gasped...he almost killed me! But I knew he didn't mean it. I have to find him.

"Victor" Oh! My voice sounded horrible.

Suddenly, the door opened and...Richard was standing there worriement filled his face while my mother was crossed armed and her face filled with anger.

"Go inside! Young lady..." I darted past them, up the stairs and to my room.

After I changed into my pajamas, a lot of questions were buzzing through my mind.

Why did Victor do that to his lair? Why did he dropped me here?...and importantly....why did his eyes changed to yellow instead of green?

I shooked my head and...suddenly, I felt a bandage around my neck.

I sat at my vanity...and began to uncover it. The image made me loudly gasped...I had a red ring on my neck!

He did this to me...I thought. The boy I loved...almost killed me!...This made me cry.

I plopped on my bed and thought what I'm going to do.

I have to go to school, voice tutoring, rehearsals and...maybe talk to Victor.

That what's am I to do...
