Le Miserable Javert.
(I DO NOT OWN Les Miserables.)
Chapter 1
This is the story of a young boy who grew up to become a cursed man. It all started when a woman with long dark hair and bright blue eyes married a soldier. They just knew that they were meant to be together.
But one fateful day, an officer arrived at her door and gave her terrible news, she wept. Her true love would never return. She would never see his smiling face again and it filled her with sadness to know that he would not even get to see his son, who was growing inside her.
She was not the wealthiest woman and had been living on her husband's income while she had been pregnant. But now he was gone. She had to feed herself, keep alive for her child.
So she took to begging on the street, just about managing to buy a small maggot filled piece of bread every day. But one day she got nothing, no matter how she pleaded and prayed, she knew she must eat, for the baby's sake.
So she went passed a fruit stall and carefully grabbed an apple out of one of the baskets. 'Hey you!' shouted a grubby looking man who owned the stall. She ran, she ran as fast as she could, but… he caught up to her and called the police. She was arrested, found guilty of stealing and sentenced to four years in prison.
Four months later, she gave birth to a baby boy right in the filthy squalor of her cell. She cried with joy when she held the small crying being in her hands.
But the guards burst into the cell and took the baby from her. 'No, my baby!' she cried as she tried to resist them. But she was too weak. The guard having pity on her said 'I'll give you a few minutes to say goodbye.'
She kissed him on the forehead and whispered her last words 'I will always love you, my sweet Javert.' With that she drew her last breath; the guard sighing sadly closed her eyes gently.
The guard took the baby gently from her grasp and reported to his boss who said 'Do what you think best, give it to an orphanage or something.' The guard looked into the pale blue eyes of the gurgling baby and felt that he must raise him as his own. In that one gaze, the child's life was changed forever.
