________________________________________________________________________________
All I could was see black, so this is what death feels like. Wait this wasn't death, I could feel something, hands on my wrists were these Erik's, wait they weren't his hands, what's going on. My eyes felt like they were held closed with glue as I forced them open, I was still on the stage at the performance, but I wasn't on the staircase, I was on the stage, everyone was surrounding us, I saw Erik still unconscious with his wrists held by two men and a rope around his wrists, the same with me, on my left was Adam, and on my right was someone I didn't expect, Megan. But in the center of it all, was my father. He walked over and grabbed my head and made me look at him.
"Seems like someone is finally awake," he smirked, as I glared at him. I looked Erik, he still hasn't woken up.
"What have you done to him?" I asked I swear if he is hurt or killed, I will rip fathers arm off and shove it down his throat.
"Same that he did to you, he'll come to in 3, 2, 1," as if they were planning this, Erik woke up slowly but surely. I tried to go over to him, but Adam and Megan held on to my wrists tighter, and Megan even kicked my legs so that I fell to my knees, Erik did the same thing, with the same result. Father smirked and laughed like the madman he was.
"Now that we are all settled, let the fun begin," he turned to the audience as Megan whispered in my ear.
"Are you happy, about what you did, you caused much pain to so many people," I knew that she was trying to break me, but I knew what I had to say.

"What he's isn't my fault, it's his,"

"Oh please, you're just saying that when you don't even know what you've done, you're the reason our brother is dead," Adam snarled in my ear, my eyes widened and my head sunk.

"Now I'm sure you know of these two, the new star of the opera, and the Phantom of the Opera, both have a facade, but under all the masks and hiding, you'll find what they truly are, monsters," both Erik and I were glaring daggers at him as the girls joined my side, Megan tried to fend them off, but Brendan and Balder dealt with both, in a way that I don't exactly know.

"Now who should we start with, the freak," pointing a dagger he pulled out of his jacket at Erik.

"Or the freak," he pointed the other dagger at me. Erik looked at me, and I at him, we knew that this could end in a multitude of ways, but no matter what, we need to stay together and get everyone we know and love out of here alive.

"Might as well start with someone that has managed to fool all of you, to think that she can hide her impurities for so long," he turned to me, Erik got up to a crouch as father came over, and took me towards center stage, Meg and Valerie looked at each other and walked toward Erik. What I didn't realize was that before I was taken, Meg cut a little bit of my rope, with a knife that Megan dropped, and they were planning to do the same for Erik. The men that were holding on to Erik switched places with Meg and Valerie, with a little bit of seducing. I was placed in center stage, though a little to the left, she was brought to her knees. Meg was almost finished cutting Erik's rope. I looked around as fathers hand came towards my face, fear imminent in my eyes, all my friends and family reflected the same fear. He grabbed my hair roughly and pulled it back. I closed my eyes, but could hear the gasps and screams, Valerie stayed with Erik, as Meg went to hold back my friends, and I knew why they would easily be killed. But Valerie was more lenient with Erik, he let him go. I didn't see, but Erik rushed over and closely embraced me. This might of shocked more people, most except for the Giry's and Desrosiers(Valerie and Clara). He held and told me I was safe, but I knew I wasn't. I crumpled down towards the floor, I was exposed, and in front of everyone.

"Now, the known monster, the Phantom of the Opera," Erik was caught off guard as his mask was taken off. Soon both Erik and I were laying on the ground broken.
_______________________________________________Valerie's POV_________
I saw everything almost like lightning, one moment Erik and Raina are singing in Don Juan, the next, they're on the floor, their true selves revealed and Raina's father in the middle of it all. I looked and saw one of Megan's knives still in my hand, and I knew what to do, I began to aim, and by some miracle, it hit his arm. He snarled, and looked in my direction, he cocked the gun and aimed it in my direction, but then aimed it towards Raina, and what happened next was a blur of tears and blood.
________________________________________________________________________________Raina's POV
First, I heard knives go through skin, then gun cocking, then firing, and finally a grunt as someone landed on the floor. I opened my eyes, to see Brendan on the floor grasping his bleeding side. I crawled towards him and held him close, Erik soon followed. Megan had to keep Balder back to not end up dead as well. I looked at father and glared.
"Look what you have done, you killed your own flesh and blood, I saw some policeman advancing towards the stage.
"I guess this isn't new for you," father looked aghast probably not knowing I figured out.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," he said glaring at me.
"Oh but I think you do, because you this man brother," I said.
"Don't you dare," he yelled.
"Zarif Christopher Prewett," I said, as many gasped say what I said.
"I did not kill my own flesh and blood," he said, a look of uncertainty on his face.
"Yes you did," a voice said behind me, at first I thought it was one of the stagehands, but by the shock of father's face, I knew it was something else. I turned with Brendan still in my lap, inches from death. Brendan looked shocked too say the least, and the world stood still, as Zar stood on the stage of the Opera Populaire, talk about a dead man walking. Megan released Balder to go to his brothers, Zar sat next to me and Brendan and closed his eyes, he rested his hand on Brendan, and Brendan breathed his last. Zar then looked at father. I looked and saw the police were on the stage and ready to pounce.
"Now you can't hide, you have just shown the world who you really are, and karma has come to collect your debt," he turned around to see the police, he tried to run, but Valerie and Gabriel threw him back. The police grabbed him and managed to hold him down long enough to restrain him in cuffs. I grabbed Erik's mask, and we ran towards the opening of the passages and jumped. We ran down to the lair and grabbed the stuff we had, including a majority of Erik's music. We managed to get one of the carriages that are used for the opera house. And we ride it into the country.
