Brutal Love Square (Part IV)

"He's still alive?" asked Raoul.

The Phantom stood there, breathing heavily. He nodded his head, and then raised his sword in front of him.

"Christine is MINE!" shouted the Phantom.

Raoul put Christine behind him and he took out his own sword, and crossed his blade with the Phantom's blade.

"Erik! Raoul! Stop this at once! I choose who I love, and nobody can make that decision for me!"

"Erik?" questioned Raoul. "So, you ARE just a man! I knew it! You aren't a ghost! You are pathetic!"

Erik brought his sword back and swung a mighty blow toward Raoul's head. He knocked the sword from his hand and in one swift movement, he spun and drove the sword into Raoul's heart. Christine screamed and Erik laughed. Erik ripped the sword out of Raoul's chest, and Raoul fell backwards, and died as soon as he hit the ground.

Christine fell at Raoul's side and began to weep. Erik grabbed her arm and pulled her from the dead corpse, and took her from the cemetery and entered the woods once again.

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" screamed Christine as loud as she could.

Erik ignored her bitter words and continued to drag her through the forest. It was time that he disappeared forever, with Christine.

While they ran, a voice boomed from somewhere in the forest. It seemed like it came from all directions. "One fool dead, another soon to die!"

Erik took out his sword and spun quickly, seeking the voice of Ryan.

"I'M HERE!"

Erik spun around with his sword held at the level of his eyes and clashed with Ryan's sword.

"Hello, Erik. We meet again, for the final time. It is clear that wickedness has consumed you, and Christine deserves an angel. You must die!"

So began the final fight, that would determine Christine's fate.
