Hey guys so I've been like really addicted to Les Misérables lately so I've decided to write a short story about Marius and Éponine. I loved them since the beginning and I always felt they belonged together so I hope you like it! Please R&R
Chapter 1
"There's a boy climbing the barricades!" That was really the last solid thing I remember. I was being held in a warm embrace, my vision was going blurry. I was going to die.
"And Rain…" I barely breathed out.
"And rain…" an angelic voice sang in my ear.
"Will make the flowers…" we sang in unison, but I couldn't finish. But I heard a voice before I went. It was distant, but full of such warmth.
"Grow…" I felt a tear gently fall on my cheek, then I fell into oblivion, but what I awoke to was a beautiful sight. It was white everywhere with a bright light that covered and warmed every inch of my body, but then my smile that I had just created upon looking at this beautiful sight disappeared and salty tears replaced it.
"Don't cry my child." A soothing voice called out of nowhere
"Who…who are you?" I stuttered
"There's no need to worry about such things child, at least not yet. For you see you do not belong here yet." The voice whispered
"What?" I asked? What did they mean I don't belong here? This is heaven isn't it? And I am dead right?
"My dear child, you were not supposed to die, but because of that act of kindness you have been given another chance. You can start your life over, but you must hurry quickly." The voice sounded anxious
"But?" I was cut off
"There's no time for questions child, just remember that you are you and no one else can take that away. Now be off!" before I knew what was happening I felt my self being pulled back, it took my breath away and then I felt my eyes fly open. I resisted the urge to get up because I didn't know where I was or what was happening.
I took deep breaths, and calmed myself down. I was covered by a white sheet. I smelled gun powder, and I heard gun fire and shouting. I gently lifted the sheet off to see I was in the tavern and there was no one here, but I saw someone coming. It was a man he was old, not too old but he looked familiar. Then I realized he was Cosette's father. The one I had given the letter to. He walked past me and I grabbed his leg. He was about to scream until I put a finger to my lips and slowly got up. He only stepped back and helped me up.
"Please stay silent Monsieur; I am in need of your help." I pleaded
"You are that girl, the one Marius was holding, the one that died?" he asked
"Yes, but I am alive, well (I pointed to my side) barely. I need to get to a hospital please can you take me there?" I pleaded so badly, if god had given me a second chance I wasn't waiting another minute.
"Yes, but hurry quickly!" he helped me up and we snuck out the back door. We walked in the tunnels so we wouldn't be spotted. It seemed like hours, but in reality it was only minutes. My legs gave out, but the man picked me up and carried me the rest of the way. Soon I blacked out.
