A/N: So, I've finally written a new chapter. Sorry it took so long. I'm taking five classes this semester and so I barely have time to write anything (for fun, that is). However, I just saw the 25th anniversary production at the movie theater and that made me want to write more of this story. I would like to say thanks to Dark Angel Phantom for giving me the idea for this chapter. This whole chapter is from Raoul's point of view. Also, I don't own Raoul or any characters in the other chapters. That would be Andrew Lloyd Webber who has that privilege. Maybe he'll sell Erik/Phantom to me! Wishful thinking. Anyways, don't forget to R&R. Enjoy!

Raoul was so mad. How could she do this to him? He was better for her than that monster! No, that thing must be forcing her to do this!

Raoul then went over what had happened earlier that day.

That Morning

Raoul was eating breakfast when there was a knock on the door. After a couple of minutes, his butler came in.

"You have a letter, sir."

"Take it into the study."

"Yes Sir."

After he had finished eating, Raoul went into his study. When he looked on the desk, he saw a letter. When he was close enough to read what was written on the envelope, he immediately recognized Christine's handwriting. Seeing her handwriting made him think back to what had happened during the past two weeks. After he had come home from meeting with his lawyers, one of the maids had given him a note from Christine. The note had said that she would never be coming back, but that she might send him a letter explaining why she had left. Raoul had then half expected her to come in and say that it was some sort of joke. But she hadn't. Now he had a letter from her and he quickly took the letter out of the envelope and began to read.

Dearest Raoul,

I assume that you got my note two weeks ago. I know that you must be wondering where I am. I want you to know that I am safe and am doing well. However, I am sorry to say that I will not be coming back to you. This is a decision that I made on my own and was not forced to make. My feelings for you have changed. I still love you, but more like a sister loves her brother. I know that it must be hard for you to hear that, but I had to let you know. I also hope you respect my decision to not tell you where I am or who I am with. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Sincerely,

Christine Daae

~o~

Raoul slammed his fists down on his desk after reading the letter for the thousandth time. How could she have chosen that thing over him? He must have her under his spell again! That was the only thing that would explain why Christine would say something like that.

Raoul then called his butler into the study.

"Please have my carriage pulled around to the front of the house."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, Raoul was on his way to town. When he had arrived, he immediately saw a gendarme. "I would like to report a kidnapping." He said when he had reached the officer.

"Who has been kidnapped, Monsieur?"

"Miss Christine Daae."

"Please follow me, Monsieur."

The gendarme then took him to the station.

~o~

When Raoul left the station, he felt madder than when he had arrived. The gendarme had told him that unless he could actually prove that the masked man was behind Christine's disappearance, then they could do nothing. They had also told him that they were positive that The Phantom had died in the fire at the Populaire. Why didn't they realize that the man had somehow escaped the fire? He had kidnapped Christine! He was almost positive that he was right. However, somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew the truth: Christine had not been kidnapped. She had left him. For that monster!

As Raoul climbed out of the carriage, he realized what he had to do. Even if it meant hurting Christine, he would have to make that thing pay for his crimes. And he would.

A/N: So how was this chapter? Thanks for reading. Don't forget to review and read my other stories!
