Cosette ran along the hallway, towards the door to a room. Enough was enough. She was grabbing Marius and getting out of this freaky place. The floorboards creaked under her as she got to the door. She tried the knob. Locked. Cosette heard something breathing behind her. It was coming closer. She gave an hard shove, and the rusty lock on the door broke. She sprinted into the room, the window right across from her. The window... a means of escape. She jumped for the window and grabbed onto the ledge, ready to propel herself through the glass. She was stopped by something grabbing her leg.

Cosette pulled and tugged, but could not free herself. As her left hand slipped, Cosette pushed aside the gauzy curtains, looking out at the foggy night, wishing she could see the sun one last time. Goodbye father, she thought,goodbye Marius, goodbye Courfeyrac, Combeferre, Enjolras, Joly, Jehan, and Grantire. Only three fingers were holding on now. Now two. Now one. Mother, I am coming.

And she was pulled into the darkness.

My name is Cosette Fravelechant, and this is our story. My friends and mine. It's an unusual story, a story you probably won't believe. You'll think we're crazy. No, that's an understatement. Looney, barmy, off our rockers, completely insane is more like it. But our story's true. It's all true.

Maybe that's the craziest thing.

Cosette
