Eponine was forced to her knees by a hard shove to the shoulders, letting out a small grunt as her knees hit the hard, unyielding ground. The men above her where arguing in angry German, as a hard knee to the back caused her to hunch over. A hand roughly grabbed her head and reached it back as the black hood was yanked off of her head, flinching at the bright light that hit her eyes, she looked around in fear. The men around her where all very large, sweaty muscled arms, black tank tops and pants the color of the local foliage. One man caught Eponine's eyes and sneered at her as she asked quietly, trying to keep her voice from quivering

"Who are you? What do you even want with us? We didn't do anything!" Her voice rose in slight panic as she saw her friends lined along the wall to her left in a situation similar to hers. Hands tied behind their backs, black hoods over their faces they all fidgeted nervously when they heard her voice. She could see them all, Marius, Enjolras, Courfeyrac, Joly, all of them in as prisoner as herself.

One man stepped forward as Eponine's eyes went back to him and he smiled. He was a large man also, a large semi-automatic gun hung casually by his hand as he pulled his cigar from his mouth and blew the nasty smelling smoke at the friends "What have we here? Never seen rats like this in our neck of the woods."

Eponine opened her mouth to speak when Marius's voice spoke up first "Sir we mean you no harm, we didn't even mean to get in your way. If you'll just let us go, we'll leave and never speak of this again, you have my wo-" Marius was cut off by the large man back handing him across the face. "Shut up boy! You really think I care about any of that? If I didn't want you here I would have shot you on sight, I have plans for your little group."

Eponine knew she needed to keep a check on her tongue but seeing the red mark on Marius's cheek made her clench her jaw in rage. No one hurt her Marius like that, not while she could do something about it. She may have her hands bound but they had left her mouth free to sling all her words at him "Oh really? What is this plan? Treat us like prisoners of war? What are you hoping to get? If you wanted money you really didn't get choose the right people to kidnap."

The man turned his gaze upon Eponine and she felt her blood run cold at the cold anger that was in his eyes. This wasn't a man ruled by passion, his fury was cold and calculated as he crossed the young woman and crouched slightly to meet her eyes. Without turning he waved his hand to the others "Take them to the room, I'd like to have a talk with our young lady here."

"No! Stop!" The voices of them rang out as the struggled against the bounds on their hands and the large hands on their shoulders. Eponine was too afraid to take her eyes off the man, but from the corner of her eye she could see Enjolras elbowing the man behind him. Courfeyrac and Marius doing similar thing, Joly the non-fighter of them tried to trip a man as they all tried to get to Eponine.

The look in the man's eyes grew unamused as he wrapped his large muscled arm around Eponine's neck, pulled her against him and pressed a shiny black pistol against her head. "Really now. That's unnecessary, stop before I have to do something we'll all regret." All the young men froze at the sight of their friend in such a situation. Their eyes all held various forms of worry and panic, though they rarely admitted it, the young men all loved Eponine in their own way and didn't want to see her hurt.

When they made no move, the pistol was waved in the direction of the soldiers waiting behind her friends "Get moving!" The boss snapped at them all. The men grabbed Eponine's friends roughly and shoved them out the door. Enjolras looked over his shoulder, calling back to Eponine "Don't be afraid 'Ponine! We'll get out of this I promise!"

Once the door had closed the man shoved Eponine away hard as he holstered his pistol and turned to the girl with an annoyed sigh "You stupid kids, you have no idea what you got into. You seem like a cute little thing, I hate to have to do this to you."

Eponine frowned in confusion, unsure of what he meant until she saw his fist flying at her face. She didn't even have time to flinch before it collided hard with her cheek, knocking her to the ground as she bit back a cry of pain. The man glared down at her before his boot connected with her side, causing her to curl up in pain as her breath came in short, shallow gasp.

Her eyes pleaded with him as she looked up, meeting his cold gaze as he read the question in her eyes. Bending down, his voice was cold as he spoke "Maybe this will teach you and your friends to be more careful of where you go hiking around."

Flinching at the second hard blow to the ribs her mind was racing to make sense of the entire mess they had stumbled into. How did it come to this? To go from a simply hike with your friends to being held prisoner by men who wouldn't even tell you why they were holding you captive. They needed to get out of this, but the real question was, would they survive that long?

He continued to beat her, his powerful fist and boots connecting with her much softer flesh in powerful blows. Finally when she thought she couldn't take anymore he halted, seeing that she had reached her limit. Attempting to raise her eyes, her quiet broken voice came out "Who….who are you?" The man gazed down at her as he tucked a piece of paper in his pocket, a small smirk on his face "My name's Javert. Do not forget it."
