The Point of No Return (Phantom of the Opera X Reader)

2

This will be the moment in the movie during the end...where Erik and Christine are singing, and walking up the steps...so the Phantom comes out...but only for a moment...and then after the show is when he's just like "yo! it's time to bring her down to where I've been chillin' at!" such like the movie...anyways...enjoy. His singing will be italic and bold, and yours will be just plain bold. And for both of you two singing it'll be bold, italic, and underlined...-Chloe

In the end I was casted as the leading lady. I sang my part, and sat on the ground awaiting for the next part of the song. "Passarino - Go away for the trap please set and waits for it's prey." someone else spoke, a voice I didn't recognize, and I looked back to see a tall man. I looked up at Christine and Raoul who look worried. "You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent..." he sang walking over to my side, but was still farthest from me. "Silent..." he sang again while putting a finger to his lips, I knew the singing voice from my dreams, and from the random singing voice I'd hear as I explored the opera house. I closed my eyes to listen to him sing, "I have brought you that our passions may fuse and merge. In your mind you've already succumbed to me, dropped all defenses. Completely succumbed to me. Now you are here with me, no second thought, you've decided...decided..." he did a little nod as he sang the word decided.

 "Past the point of no return, no backward glances
The games we've played, till now are at an end
Past all thought of if or when, no use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend " he continued as he walked closer. 'Who is this man? Could it be...Erik?' I watched him as he circled me.

"What raging fire shall flood the soul
What rich desire unlocks it's door?
What sweet seduction lies before us?" he sang as he wrapped his arms around me, I felt completely at peace when he touched me, so I closed my eyes, and he slid his hands down my arms as he walked past, and grabbed my hand.  

"Past the point of no return, the final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return" he let go of my hand while taking a few steps back. My breathing was heavy from all the excitement that was happening on stage here...plus...I was a little turned on but that's not important. 'It's only fitting that I return the singing...' I shook my head, and looked up at Christine and Raoul who were shaking their heads as well. They didn't want me to sing back...but I did so I was going to. 

"You have brought me
To that moment where words run dry
To that moment where speech disappears
Into silence, silence" I sang as Christine gave me a worried look, and I looked over at the unknown man who seemed pleased to hear me sing.   

"I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined
Our bodies entwining defenseless and silent
And now I am here with you
No second thoughts, I've decided, decided" I smiled, and nodded as I sang the word decided. 

"Past the point of no return, no going back now
Our passion play has now at last begun
Past all thought of right or wrong, one final question
How long should we two wait, before we're one?" we were walking up the wooden steps of the structure behind us that went over the stage, but everyone could still see us. 

"When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames at last consume us?" We were at last at the top, and out the corner of my eye I could see Christine standing in her seat with a terrified look. Raoul too but I never liked him, and they were the last thing on my mind. The only thing on my mind was this man who was standing across from me. 

"Past the point of no return, the final threshold
The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return" we both sang as we walked near each other, we put our hands on each others hips, he spun me around, and held me. Once more I felt completely calm, as if nothing and nobody else was around. After a few moments, the show was over, and the man disappeared backstage. I looked for him, but couldn't find him. "Y/n!" Christine yelled, she and Raoul ran up to me, and she hugged me tightly. "Are you okay?! Did he hurt you?!" she examined my face. "I'm fine sis...it was just a play Christine...he was nothing more than an actor...I'm curious as to who he is...can you help me find him?" I asked her, and she gave me a surprised look. 

"No...he's not a good person...trust me..." she sighed as she took me to her old dressing room. "Now! Tonight...the three of us are going out to dinner...so get changed..." she said as she left me alone in the room. I looked around, and changed.
