I know 2 updates in one day! woohoo!

Maria's P.O.V.

I ran down to the docks, for some peace of mind, papa has been going out of his mind about Gustav, I saw Meg, of course, I muttered a few choice curses underneath my breath as I ducked behind a cluster of bushes

"Are you sure that no one knew that you had the gun?" Meg asked nervously

"Positive Ms. Giry." An extremely familiar voice said

"Good, now scurry along, boy." She said, demeaning on the 'boy' part, I peeked out from behind my hiding place to see Lucas running from Meg, I was curious on why Meg would need a gun. I got up from my hiding place to tell my papa. That is until Gustav came running into my stomach

"Maria! Oh Maria! Have you heard the song my mother is to sing? It's beautiful!" He cried in a rush

"Yes, I have, I help write it Monsieur Gustav." I said, he blushed when I called him that,

"Maria?" He asked

"Yes?"

"Why do you look so much like my mother?" My breath caught. No one but my father said that.

"I don't know, but I think your mother is about to preform, I should take you back so you can watch her." I said brightly.

"I will take him," A high pitched voice said, Meg, who had a gun, would not be getting near him,

"It is fine Meg; I wouldn't want to inconvince you." I said with heavy sarcasm, her eyes narrowed into slits I almost laughed at the anger that passed through her eyes, apparently this wasn't how her plan was meant to work,

"Well, Maria, I must insist on it!" she said innocently with heavy sarcasm on my name.

"I am sorry Meg, but I promised his mother that I would take care of him whilst they stayed here." I said firmly, she stomped away like a child; again I had to stop the laughter that was coming up throat.

"Come now Gustav, we must hurry!" I rushed him to the concert hall just in time; Raoul was leaving with a heart-broken face

"Father? What is wrong?" Gustav asked

"Nothing my boy, now, go and watch your mother." He smiled weakly at who he thought was his son

"Maria, might I have a word?" He asked me as Gustav walked to see his mother, I grimaced

"Of course Viscount, what is that you need?" I said with a clipped tone.

"Are you her?" He asked

"Her? Who is 'her' if I may ask?"

"Christine's daughter." His eyes grew cold "the Demons child," he smirked coldly

"Well, yes I am the 'Demons child' and I will inform you, your son? Is my brother."

"Oh I know your half-"I cut him off

"Full-blood brother Raoul." I said matching his cold smirk before I walked away

Erik's P.O.V.

She was singing for me, my angel. I smiled, now my sweet daughter would have her mother, and a younger brother. I couldn't take the smile off of my face; she looked into my eyes as she sang with her sweet soprano,

"Life may be fleeting,

Love lives on

Life may be fleeting

Love lives on." The crowd went wild, she had tears in her eyes, the curtains called I went to her with arms open wide, she ran into them

"My angle, you were magnificent." I praised she backed away to look at me

"Papa! It was wonderful!" Maria squealed quietly, I saw Christine stiffen

"Papa?" Christine asked Maria and I both, she slowly walked to Maria, "Are you my daughter?" she asked, sounding close to tears, Maria simply nodded, Christine flung her arms around Maria's neck

"After all this time! My daughter was here right under my nose!" She laughed through her tears "Oh I have to tell Gustav he has wanted a sister for so long!"

"He is over here Christ-"Christine cut her off

"Mother" she said smiling

"He is right over here, mother." She looked and froze.

"Papa," She looked at me "He is gone." No.

Maria's P.O.V.

"Christine come with me to check the docks" Papa ordered,

"Will you be alright by yourself Maria?" Christine asked

"Yes mother, I will be fine"

1 hour later

I had found Gustav and told him everything while we were working through the crowds the get to the docks. And then I heard it

"No. Gustav you need to run." I said worriedly as we ran to the docks

"Meg, give me the gun, don't shoot it again," I heard my papa calling softly

"Mother!" Gustav cried and ran to her

"Papa what happened?" I asked

"You!" She screeched "this is all your fault! If weren't here I would have been a star!" she pointed the gun at me

"Meg," Papa said slowly "please, don't shoot the gun."

He was too late; I felt an agonizing pain through my abdomen I looked down to see blood pouring out.

"MARIA!" Papa screamed, he ran to me and pulled my head into his lap

"No Maria please! Don't leave me!" He cried

"Papa, it's ok," I said while reaching a shaky hand to his mask, I wanted to see my real father one last time before I died, I pulled it off "My time here is over, but I will see you again one day" I smiled, he had always taught me to not fear death.

"No Maria please, don't leave me douce fleur" he sobbed, I smiled at my name he had given as a child

"Maria?" Christine called "Please, don't leave. I just got you back baby." She said softly while grabbing my hand

"I love you all and I will always be with you. And always remember, love never dies," I smiled at my papa and his old quote he chanted over and over, I looked at my family one last time before I closed my eyes one last time.
