a/n: this story takes place almost a year after the last scene in the play
of Les Miserables in the scene when Jean Valjean dies. (by the way Marius
is the mayor of Paris and owns two factories, and he doesn't allow the
foreman to fire anyone without checking with him first)
Summery: Cosette and Marius are happily married but someone is after Cosette.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything.
Cosette and Marius were happily married lived in Paris. It had almost been a year ever since Jean Valjean past away (Cosette and Marius had also got married on the very same day that Jean Valjean past away), and whenever Cosette saw a father with his child on the street, she would start to think about her father again. But she was getting better, she use to cry at lest once a day, but she no longer did that.
"Marius, I'm going to town, I'll be back in about an hour," called Cosette to her husband Marius who was up stairs working in the study.
"Alright just be careful," said Marius.
"Why do you tell me to be careful every time I go out?" asked Cosette
"I don't know, you're my wife, it's my job to protect you." Said Marius *********** Later that day when Cosette got to town and got the stuff that she needed for home (she has a really beautiful chestnut colored horse named chestnut. Chestnut was only two years old so she had a lot of energy to pull the carriage, and even thought she and Marius had a closed carriage and a driver Cosette still enjoyed driving a horse and carriage). When she was walking back to the carriage she heard someone calling.
"Excuse me,"
Cosette turned around to see a tall man probably in his late forties, he had a lot of scars on his face, as if he had bin violently scratched by a cat.
"Excuse me mad'moiselle, but what if your name?" asked the man
"Cosette Pontmercy, why?" asked Cosette.
The man did not answer.
"Cosette hmm, pardon me for asking but who is your father?" asked the man.
"Jean Valjean," said Cosette sounding confused.
The man took no note of this whatsoever. "And were is he know?" asked the man.
"He's not." said Cosette.
"What do you mean?
(Cosette took a deep breath) "He passed away almost a year ago." Said Cosette.
"oh, I'm really sorry to hear that." Said the man, but he really did not sound like it.
"Well if you are done interrogating me about me and my family, then I need to get home to my husband." Said Cosette.
As the man watched Cosette walk away he thought to himself,
"sooo, that's Cosette."
**************************** when Cosette got home she put chestnut away and went straight inside and went up to her and Marius's bed room and sat down in the rocking chair by the fire place.
About two minutes later Marius came to the doorway.
"Cosette what's wrong?" asked Marius
Marius was incredible. He could always tell when there was something bothering Cosette.
"Nothing" said Cosette
"Cosette, if something is bothering you, you know you can tell me anything." Said Marius
"alright, when I was in town a man stopped me and was questioning me about my fa.., my fa.."
"your father?" asked Marius
Cosette nodded and started sobbing into her hands. Marius pulled her close to him.
"I had a feeling that this day would come when you would be in danger." Said Marius shaking his head.
"I just don't understand, why are those people after me, what did I ever do to anyone ?" asked Cosette. Marius took a deep breath.
"They do have anything just against you, it was mostly against...., against....your father. They didn't like your father because they thought that just because he stole that loaf of bread that he was a criminal at heart, but you and I both know that he had a hear of gold, so the only reason that they are against you is because you are his daughter, and the only way that I can think of to protect you is if I stay with you at all times." Said Marius
Cosette nodded just nodded. *********** Later that day Cosette and Marius went to town they saw the man and Cosette pointed him out to Marius.
a/n: sorry for the cliffhanger but it was the only place that I really felt right about stopping for the next chapter.
