A/N: This came to me during the night

Chapter 1

Erik stood on the stage with Christine in his arms. Then he started to sing;

Say you'll share with me one love one lifetime,

Lead me, save me from my solitude.

Say you'll want me with you here beside you,

Anywhere you go let me go too!

Christine then turned to face Erik as tears filled her eyes. She put a hand on his face and smiled. Her eyes flickered to the police standing in one of the boxes aiming a gun at her angel. No. She thought. What I'm I thinking? I can't kill him. I do love him.

She turned back to him as he sang;

Christine that's all I ask of you!

Christine looked at him then as the tears feel down her cheeks. She then wrapped her arms around him as she heard the gun go off. She then felt a piercing pain in her side and heard Erik scream.

"Christine!" She fell into his arms and feel into the darkness.

Erik caught her and then saw Raoul who looked like he was in shock. He felt anger well up in him and pulled the lever as the trap door fell from under them. He then scooped Christine up as they landed in his lair and the trap door closed. Erik quickly trudge through the water and came to his lair. He went to his swan bed and laid Christine down, who was bleeding very badly. He then went to one of the closets and quickly found a towel and soaked it in water and wrapped it tightly around Christine's body.

He then felt a hand on his on his shoulder and almost hit the person until he realized it was Madame Giry.

"What are you doing down here?" he said angrily.

"I'm here to check on her." She then went over to Christine and looked over her wounds.

"Is she going to be alright?" Erik said softly.

She sighed. "She will be fine Erik. She needs to rest and heal up that injury. Erik you need to be more careful, you could have been killed."

"That bullet was meant for me Madame Giry, so why did she take that bullet for me? I thought she hated me." Erik asked as he laid beside Christine and stroked some of her golden brown curls.

"Erik maybe she realized that she does love you Erik." she replied.

"I don't think she does. Who could love someone like me?"

"She does Erik." she then walked out of the lair.
