"Gavroche please come back!" I screamed trying to catch up to the little boy who was running through the crowded streets of Paris. He was heading to the rally that my brother was holding. I never went to the rallies, Enjolras always thought them unsafe for me.

"Come on Christine you've ain't never been to one you got to be part of the revolution at some point!" Gavroche yelled over his back as he dodged people, beggars, and carriages.

"Gavroche you know i'm not all-!" I stopped at mid sentence when we emerged through the alleyway entering into the town square where dozens of people were crowded around the makeshift stage where Enjolras and his friend Marius were shouting their beliefs on the king.

"WE MUST FIGHT FOR OUR-" Enjolras screamed but stopped when he saw me and Gavroche standing in the crowd. He jumped from the stage and stormed toward me. The crowd booed and yelled but he completely ignored their calls only looking at me and fumed. When he reached me he grabbed my arm and yanked me to the alleyway I entered through. "What are you doing here I told you to stay at the flat!" He hissed.

I was looking after Gavroche and he was asking me to go to the rally with him but I refused so he ran off and I followed. Why does it matter I go to the meetings almost every time there is one!" I hiss back.

"I don't want you to come because they are dangerous. I don't want you to get hurt ok," He said more gentle.

"Enjolras we need you back there the crowd is turning into a mob," Marius called entering the alleyway. "Oh i'm sorry am I interrupting you?," He said awkwardly.

Enjolras slightly smirked which he always did when he had an idea. "No my friend you are fine, But you can do something for me,"

"Anything," He said.

"Could you take my sister Madame Christine home she lost her way and ended up here," Enjolras said nudging me toward him.

"Oh of course not I would be happy to," He turned to me and held out his arm "Mademoiselle," He smiled. I took his arm and turned around walked away I turned around and gave him a look. Its not that I don't like Marius but I have never just like my Marius and we don't have much in common he's caught in this revolution. "How long do you plan to stay with your brother Madam?" He asked pulling me out of my train of thought.

"Christine, just Christine but some do call me Chrissy, and I hope to stay as long as I can before my parents send for me to come home," I said curtly.

"Well Ma- Christine I hope you stay. You seem to brighten your leader up," He teased.

As we walked past a bar that was heavily crowded one of the customers ran out and came toward us in wobbly steps. "Ah look who it is the lap dog for our fearless leader Enjolras," He said hitting Marius upside the head.

"Hello to you to Grantaire ," Marius chuckled hugging the drunk. Ah yes I rember him he is one of Enjolras good friends but I've only seen him on three occasions and all he has been sober. After embracing Grantaire noticed me and ran his eyes over me. "And who is this spring beauty!" He laughed. I shifted in discomfort at his dunk words.

"You have met her before she Enjolras sister Christine," Marius said sensing my discomfort. " Now if excuse us I must escort the Mademoiselle home,"He said while taking my arm again.

"Oh nonsense no sister of my friend gets away from me without a drink!" He laughed taking my hand and dragged me toward the tavern he just came from.

"But Sir I'm not thirsty I must go home!" I protested but they fell on deaf ears while he pulled me into the tavern with Marius on our tail calling after us to stop. He plopped me down a bench near the bar where bar minds served than many drunks even though it was only midday."I can't stay Sir my brother would not be happy with either us if I stay," I said getting up while waving for Marius to come get me.

As I was leaving Grantaire grabbed my wrist. "WAITRESS ONE DRINK!" He hollered to no one in particular but in seconds a small glass appeared in front of me filled with a vile looking liquid. "I won't let you leave my dear until you drink this," He smirked as he handed me the small glass. Marius finally found us and started trying to break through the crowd to get to us. "Come on love one drink," he whispered.

Marius was only feet away from us seeing the glass in my hand he tried to shove through the people faster. As he reached us he ripped the glass from my hand and dropped it the floor where it shattered into a million pieces. "Oh come now Marius I was only teasing," He giggled.

"Well it would not be funny if Enjolras found out that his sister was drinking in a foul place like this while she was in my care, come now Christine," He said grabbing my arm and dragging out of the tavern.

"SPOILSPORT!" Grantaire yelled.

Marius turned around fuming. "Don't its not worth it Marius he's drunk and look my house is right there," I said trying to change the subject. Marius turned back around more gently tugged me our flat. As we arrived at the front door Marius took my hand and kissed it like any gentleman.

"I'm sorry Christine for my behavior today, But I must go back to the rally will you be OK," he said.

"of course I will be, but could you not tell my brother of the events today?" I asked.

He only smiled "Of course Miss, good bye!," He said while leaving.

"Goodbye Marius,"
