My Immortal - The Phantom of the Opera

It is six months after Christine left and Erik is still mourning her,still living in the abandoned opera house that a few people still lived in. He picks up the daily newspaper (courtesy of Madam Giry) and gasps as he reads the birth announcements. It looks like Christine and Raoul had had their first baby girl
He collapses into tears, letting everything out. This is the one thing he had been fearing the most. All those moments with her, wasted. Why?
It is six months after she left the Phantom and Christine has had a baby girl. Raoul is so proud, but inside she knows that its really Eriks child. She stares into her daughter, Madelines, face and sees the ghost of his face in her features.
When she had once just begun to get over losing him, her dreams are once again haunted by his face. She resolves to see him one more time, to tell him of their baby.
That night, she sneaks out with Madeline and steals one of Raouls carriages. She quietly stalks into her old dressing room, seeing that it is almost exactly the way she left it. No one had ever used it since. Well, the theatre had been destroyed, but she wouldve thought that the Phantom might have destroyed it. No, he kept it. She quietly opens the mirror and creeps down the candle-lit halls, down the winding staircase and into his lair. She finds Erik sleeping in the swan bed, the satin sheets damp with his salty tears. She stares at him for a while, savouring his features. It had been so long
Too long.
Erik awakes to Christine sound asleep on his shoulder. He blinks groggily and sighs. It was a dream. Of course. It was all just a dream. He closed his eyes again, then cautiously reached out to touch her. He gasped. This was too real to be a dream. He opens his scalded blue eyes and gazes into hers, now open and brimming with tears.
Good morning my Phantom.
And, oh, her voice. So sweet, tender and innocent. He lets a tear slip down his cheek, then spies the child in her arms. He hisses and jumps up immediatley. If this is what you came to tell me, dont bother! he shrieked. I already know! Now leave me and go back to your precious Raoul. LEAVE ME!
She jumps in fright at the intensity of his voice. But- LEAVE! His voice cracked and he collapsed in a frenzy of wild sobs.
She watches him cry. Then sighs. Oh dear Phantom, shes ours.
Madeline grins from ear to ear, her deep blue eyes aglow. He stares at her in disbelief, then his face broke into a smile. They reach out to eachother and touch for the first time, father and daughter. Tears still flowed, but tears of joy.
And that is the first time the Phantom smiled.
After that, they continued to meet until her death. Rauol never knew any of it. They always met, every Wednesday and Thursday. Meybe on weekend or even weeks when Christine was prentending to be with her sick relative or something.
He glides over the snow and lays a flower on her grave, kissing the diamond ring on his finger then laying it near her headstone. They had married in his lair, taking their vows in the dress she had kept ince their last fateful meeting with Raoul. Christine never wore her ring, but instead kept it on a chain around Madelines neck. He remembered laughing at this and thinking that maybe his child was married to him! The Phantom and Madeline went everywhere together, and she grew further away from Raoul. Sometimes she would shout how Raoul wasnt her father, but Christine inisted that Meg had been telling her scary stories of the Phantom.
He hears ragged breathing, then the sound of wheels and sped off into the trees
The End
