The Lady Or the Beauty

Christine's POV

I walked out of the room and into the hallway of an extremely beautiful house. I walked out following the maid to a room. She motioned me to wait outside and I did, suddenly I heard voices. One I recognized far to quickly.

"Nadir! It's over, I let her go! She loves the Vicomte! Are you happy, now?!"

"Erik, please listen. You did the right thing letting her go. But their be others-"

"NOT LIKE HER!!!!" I heard him say then said the most beautiful thing ever. "Nadir....I love her. Every minute of every day. I-I just can't live on without her. My heart is breaking without her."

"Oh, Erik..." I didn't hear the rest because I ran in.

"ERIK!!!??" I then saw him stand up and slowly turned around to face me. When he saw me I saw his face growing pale.

"C-Christine?" He said stuttering.

"Wait this is the girl, Erik?" The man, who I assumed was Nadir, asked.

"Yes. Christine....what are you doing here?" He said looking at me with a happy confused look on his face.

"I came to find you,bErik. Before I hit my head on a branch-"

"Christine, are you alright?!" Erik asked me while walked quickly to my side. With a caring and gentle tone in his voice.

"Erik, I'm fine......actually, no I'm not fine. Not until you hear this." He looked at me with an even more confused look than before.

"What is it, Christine?" I took a deep breathe. 'Just breathe.' I kept telling myself that.

"Erik.....I love you." He looked surprise and was about to speak, but I beat him to it. "I don't love Raoul, I love you. When we kissed, something inside me stirred. And after spending time with Raoul, I felt like I was going to be sick. Erik I needed you. I can't bare to spend my life with out you. Please, forgive me for hurting you. I'm really sorry-"

I spoke quickly but was cut off by his lips pressed against mine. I gave in and kissed him back whole-heartedly. Showing him all the love I felt for him." He placed his hands on my waist and I put my hands on his neck, bringing him in closer. He then pulled away and I stayed silent.

"Oh, Christine....I love you......But-"

"Don't even think. I'm not leaving your side ever again." We gazed at one another, then he pulled me into him and I grabbed onto him.

"Christine, I'm never letting you out of my sight ever again." I smiled at his words.

"Ahem." We both pulled away and I noticed that Nadir was still in the room. I felt myself blush like crazy.

"Christine" I heard Erik say "This is Daroga- I mean, Nadir Kahn. An old friend of mine." I smiled and shook his hand.

"Please to meet you Nadir? I'm Christine Daae." I introduced myself.

"Christine, I've heard a lot about you." I smiled, and glanced at Erik. Who was looking at me with his intense eyes.

"So how did Raoul take this?" Nadir asked me. My face paled.

"He doesn't know I've run away.....um what time is it?" Nadir looked a bit worried.

"Christine, you've been knocked out for about two months." My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. My hair was about down to my waist not from my middle back anymore. I even felt a couple of inches taller. I was about to faint when Erik caught me.

"T-two months?!" I asked, making sure I wasn't crazy.

"I'm afraid so Christine. I'm terribly sorry." I placed my hand on my head and sat down. My thoughts all about, scattered. I then shot my head up and stood up.

"Raoul IS looking for me." I shuttered at the thought.
