Erik and Christine as beauty and the beast

Chapter 20: I let her go

After there dance the phantom took Christine to a balancy and asked her a question. "Christine are you happy with me?" "Yes," she replied with a smile on her face but then her smile faded, "what is it?" "If only I could see my father again, just for moment I miss him so much." She said sadly, the phantom thought for a mintue and then had an idea.
He lifted her chin up and said "there is a way," the phantom handed her the magic mirror and explained how it worked.
"This mirror will show you, anything you wish to see,"
"Id like to see my father please,"
The mirror glowed a bright green and Christine then saw her father coughing and barely walking in the forest all by himself with snow on the ground. "Papa oh no he's sick he may be dying and he's all alone," the phantom looked at the Rose for a mintue, but he had already made up his made up his mind. "Then you must go to him," he said softly "What did you say?" She asked "I realse you, your no longer my prisoner." "You mean I'm free?" Christine asked "yes," he said barely able to talk. "Oh thank you, hold on papa I'm on my way." Christine then attempted to give him his mirror but he told her to keep it, "take it with you, so you'll always have a way to look back and remember me." Christine didn't want to say, "thank you for understanding how much he needs me," Christine then turned to leave but then looked back him and gently stroked his face. She then turned and ran out of the room towards the stairs, Piangi walked in as she was leaving. "Well your highness I must say things are going quite smimmgly I knew you had in you ha ha," "I let her go," he said softly "you did what t how could you do that?" Piangi asked "I had to,"
"Yes but why,"
"because I love her."

"He did what!?" The other servants askeds
"Yes I'm afraid it's true," piangi said sadly. "She's going away?" Meg asked "but he was so close,"
"After all this time he's finally learned to love."
"That's it then, that should break the spell." Firmin said
"But it's not enough she has to love him back."
"Now it's to late,"
While the servants were moping, Meg sneaked out the door to find Christine.
As the phantom watched Christine leave on Caeser he fell into depression and broke all the mirrors around him as Christine disappeared from his sight
