Erik's POV.

I hear Christine scream and I know Gustave does too.  We take off faster trying to get to Christine.  My Angel.

"CHRISTINE!!!!" I scream as I run. 

We turn a corner only to see her scarf and one of her shoes.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! MOTHER!!!!!" Gustave screams as he cries. 

I wrap him in a hug and we both sink to the ground crying.  I begin rocking back an forth trying to calm Gustave down. Hatred fills my heart, I just got my Christine back, I will not lose her again! I think to myself. 

"Come Gustave, we must go tell Madam Giry." I say to him while getting up. 

He reluctantly gets up and we walk back to the office. Only Mr. Squelch is there so I tell him to bring me Madam Giry and Meg both.
About 10 minutes later they come in furious, but when they see Gustave crying in the corner they ask what happened.

"Christine had been kidnapped." I tell them. Tears are rolling down my face.  I go to Gustave and wrap him in another big hug trying to calm him down again.  Meg starts to say something but I stop her and I mouth.

"Not in front of him. He'll be asleep in a minute."

She nods her head. Just like I said Gustave had cried himself to sleep.  I pick him up and set him in the back on the bed I keep here. We go outside, careful not to disturb Gustave. Meg asks quietly.

"What do you mean she's been kidnapped?"

I relay what I had heard while we were playing and they both are crying by the end. 

"Who would do something like that?" Madam Giry asks when she gets done sobbing.

"I know exactly who! But we have not seen him since that night!" I exclaim

"Raoul?! He hasn't been seen in three years, Erik, we don't even know if he is alive." Meg says.  Then we hear a voice from behind us.

"Oh I'm alive alright, and you will never get Christine back!! She is mine once again!!" Raoul screams as he runs off in the opposite direction.  I take off after him screaming.

"NO!! CHRISTINE IS NOT YOURS!!"

I keep going. I can tell he has lost and gained some weight, making him slower.  I catch up to him in a matter of minutes.  I tackle him to the ground.

"Where is she?!" I yell in his face. 

"Oh you want to see! Check my left pocket and you will see her!" He tells me. I reach into his left pocket and feel a picture.  I pull it out and see my Christine chained to a bed with no clothes on and she's bleeding. I start punching this repulsive man under me.

"WHAT.....HAVE....YOU....DONE???!!!!" I scream between punches. I get pulled off before I can do much more damage. I turn around to see who it is, and it's Gustave!

"What are you doing here son, you were asleep?" I ask

"I heard screaming." He replies staring at my hand, I realize it's the one with the picture.  I quickly put it away, but then I hear a moan from behind me.  I turn and start walking towards Raoul who is trying to crawl away.
