Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Phantom of the Opera. The director and the author owns them. Oh these characters are the ones from the movie.
A/N: I hated the ending to the movie, so now I'm doing a fanfic. Its start off right at the end of the movie where Christine is leaving with Raoul, but she remembers some memories with the Phantom, and she changes her mind. Plus, people in my story right now Christine is pregnant but no one knows but her.

Chapter 1: Gone
As Christine held onto Raoul's back she dimly heard someone singing.
Its over now! The music, of the Night!
She sighed as he slowly rowed the boat to a safe spot and her mind flashed to a graveyard moment, not that long ago.
Wandering child,
so lost, so helpless
Yearning for my guidance
Angel or Father?
Friend or Phantom?
Who is it there staring?
Have you forgotten your angel?
Angel, oh speak What endless longings Echo in this whisper?
Too long you've wandered in winter
Far from my fathering gaze
Wildly my mind beats against you
You resist
Yet the soul obeys!
Yet your soul obeys!
Angel of music
I denied you
You denied me
Turning from true beauty
Angel of music
My protector
Do not shun me
Come to me strange angel
Come to your strange angel
I am your angel of Music!
Come to me, Angel of Music!
Then her mind skipped to her last memory of him before he made her leave with Raoul.
Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you
You are not alone.
In her memory she kissed the Phantom on the lips, twice. She then saw him starting to cry. 'Why is he crying? He finally got what he wanted. . .What's wrong with him? I love him. Why would he cry if I just kissed him? And promising to marry him at the same time? Men are so confusing!' The distant singing of the approaching gang of people coming to kill the Phantom were getting closer. He looked at her.
Take him! Forget me!
Forget all of this!
Leave me alone,
Forget all you've seen
Go now, don't let them find you!
Take the boat, swear to me never to tell
The secret you know, of the Angel in Hell.
Go now! Go now, and leave me!
Christine blinked as she heard Raouls voice.
"Christine, we must get going." She stopped and turned at the direction in which they just came from.
"Raoul, I don't want him to die." She stepped back into the water and started to wade through it.
"Christine!"
~At the Phantom's lair~
Christine walked under the gate and stopped in horror, since it was completely deserted. No was there anymore.
Angel of music!
Guide and Guardian,
Grant to me your glory!
Angel of music,
Hide no longer
Come to me, strange angel!
She paused, half-expecting to hear his usual reply. She didn't hear anything. She sank to her knees and tears rolled down her cheeks. 'He's gone. They killed him. . .No! I won't believe it!' She then felt a hand on her shoulder. Christine spun around, but came face-to-face with Raoul.
"Raoul!" She gave him a quick hug.
"Whats wrong Christine?" He looked her in the eyes, and more tears went rolling.
"He's gone. I think they killed him." Raoul gave her a reassuring hug.
"I don't think they killed him though."
"You don't?"
"No. I'm pretty sure he escaped before they got here." Raoul pointed towards the broken mirrors. Christine ran over to them, checking each one. Until she came across one with a curtain hanging over it. She was about to pull it back until Raoul stopped her.
"Wait, Christine. Let the tension around here ease up before you go tracking him down again." Christine nodded silently vowing that she would find him again, and then marry him.
Alright review! For those who saw the movie, do not fear she does not go with Raoul obviously in this story! When the Phantom does show up, I'll be using the name they gave him in the book : Erik. So more than likely if someone appears speaking of someone with the name of "Erik" spelled just like that in this story, its more than likely the Phantom their talking about ok?
