Gavroche's Unknown Love
I do not own any of the characters in this story except for Marie. Rated T until the story gets to Paris. Later chapters are rated M.
Writing like this is in Gavroche's point of view. Writing like this is in Marie's point of view.
This is my first ever fanfic so feel free to add criticism nut still be nice please.
Montfermeil – 1825
"Cosette, Cosette, hurry up. Eponine's coming."
"I know, Gavroche! The water is heavy though"
I ran ahead. Then I stopped. I didn't stop because I wanted to, I stopped because Azelma was standing in front of me and wouldn't move.
"Where are you going, you little runt?" She asked in a tone of voice mother uses on Cosette when she is trying to be nice.
"What's it got to do with you?" I replied
.
"Are you helping Cosette?"
If I help Cosette I get scolded or beaten. 5 years ago Cosette's mother, Fantine, left her in the care of Mother and Father not knowing how cruel they would be to Cosette. They treat her as a slave and they barely feed her. I have to sneak food out for her or the Bishop gives her food in our reading lessons.
"Well answer me, runt!" said Azelma, snapping me out of my thought.
"Chou Chou (My dog) and I needed a walk and it was just a coincidence that Cosette was going as well."
"I don't believe you, Gavroche. You always lie."
"No I don't!" I said (Lying)
At that point, Eponine came walking up to us.
"Here come the cavalry!" I muttered under my breath. "What do you want Eponine?"
Eponine had two freshly baked honey cakes in her hand and said "I was giving this beautiful honey cake mama made to Azelma."
I knew she was just showing off, so I just walked away. Cosette was just coming out of father's inn so I went up to her.
"Shall we ask Marie if she wants to go to the fields with us?" she said. She had a large bruise across her cheek.
"Cosette, what's happened?" I already knew though. Mother had beaten her for being late, but she lied to me and simply said that she had fallen over earlier and the bruise had just started to show.
"Go and ask Marie then!" she said. Her eyes were filled with tears. Mother had beaten her badly. Feeling a bit upset for her I did as she said and went to Marie's house.
