Erik forced Christine to stay with him. She had made her choice, and he was going to make her live up to her end of the deal. Christine was confused at first, who wouldn't be? She was taken straight out of above-ground life and given no option but to stay. Yet after some mulling over in her head, she proposes a game of pretend. They would pretend to be in love. But, where does make-pretend end, and reality begin? Where does the love stop, and discontent ensue?

Ever since Christine left, the Phantom is heartbroken. Y/N is, also, for she cannot bear to ever see Erik damaged, hurt, or heartbroken. Erik just thinks Y/N is overprotective of her first and only friend, but little does Erik know that Y/N is actually in love with Erik. A few weeks later, when Y/N's childhood friend, Philippe, comes along, everything, even Erik's rising love for Y/N, crumbles. Find out what happens in this story filled with adventure, romance, masquerades, and evil people. (By the way, this is my first online story, so sorry if it's really bad! Enjoy!) Also, I do not own The Phantom of the Opera or most of the pictures.
