Brutal Love Square (Part III)

Raoul stood with his sword held parallel to the ground, pointing the tip of the blade at the musical genius, Ryan. Ryan was completely defenseless, for his sword had been knocked out of his hands by the Phantom. Raoul smirked, and approached Ryan slowly. He stood there with a stoic look about him, almost as if Ryan was actually mocking Raoul.

"Before I send you to your death, care to use your final breath?" asked Raoul with a fierce tone.

Ryan only smiled. He jumped into the water, and he didn't come back up. Raoul stood there for ten minutes and could not see him come back up from underwater. While Raoul had a small head start, he ran through the broken frame after Christine and the Phantom.

Raoul ran through what seemed like an endless passage before entering into a deep, vast forest. Christine would have ran in the direction of her fathers grave, and the Phantom, being her eternal stalker, would be going to the cemetery too. Raoul ran as fast as possible through the thick, dark forest toward the cemetery.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally reached the entrance to the cemetery. He ran through the graveyard toward the tomb where Christine's father was buried. He cut around one of the graves and saw Christine sitting on the stairs with tears running down her face.

In that moment, Raoul wanted nothing more than to hold Christine in his arms and love her forever. Raoul didn't hesitate, he ran to Christine and took her by the hand, and began to sing to her. She seemed to be lost in her mind, and she didn't seem to be listening to him.

The Phantom appeared in the middle of the graveyard, and he stared at Raoul and Christine. He was breathing heavily and his face looked even more distorted than it used to be. His sword hung at his side, and his hand was seriously mangled. Raoul doesn't remember hurting him at all. Unless, Ryan lived...
