Chapter 1

Do you hear the people sing?

-Author's note-

This is my first Les Miserables fanfic. I did one about Harry Potter before and am about to do some Harry Potter one shots as well. I really fell in love with Les Mis after seeing the movie. I really liked the story and that's why I want to write my own story as well. I've never read the book before, so please don't judge me ;) An other thing I would like to say is that English isn't my first language, so there might be some mistakes. Okay enough talking, let's get to the fanfic. I hope you like it and review it! :) please enjoy!

Setting: Marius and Enjolras are demonstrating for revolution at the funeral of Lamarque. Cosette isn't mentioned in this fanfic. Eponine is standing at the square, watching and supporting them. She's in love Marius.

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the song of angry men?

It is the music of the people

Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drums

There is a life about to start

When tomorrow comes!

"Marius! Come on, it's our time now!" Enjolras said to Marius when they climbed on the carriage.

"You're right, we need to do this, for France!" Marius answered and pointed his gun at some soldiers.

"Exactly, we've been waiting for this so long," Enjolras said and also pointed his gun at them. "Fire!" Enjolras exclaimed and started to shoot. So did Marius. The soldiers started to fire at them immediately as well.

"Come on! You can do this!" Eponine yelled at them, she was standing in the crowd. She gave Marius a little smile, but she was so worried. What if something would happen to him? She couldn't even imagine a life without Marius, he meant the world to her. Despite, she loved him on her own.

"I know we can!" Marius yelled back at her.

'That's the spirit!" Courfeyrac said while he was shooting at the soldiers.

Most of the ABC students were firing their guns at the soldiers now and some were raising their red flags.

"Enjolras, watch out!" Combeferre warned him. Enjolras turned around and saw that two men standing there, pointing their guns at him. Enjolras fired at them and quickly jumped off the carriage, caused him to bruise his ankle.

"Damn," he mumbled and tried to run away. "Marius, help me!"

Marius looked at him and saw that he was in pain. He also jumped off the carriage and ran over to his friend, trying to defend himself in the meantime.

"Are you okay? What happened?" he asked and looked him worried.

"Yes, just my ankle, no big deal," Enjolras answered simply, but his face showed he was in pain.

"You're not, you need to get away from here before they shoot you! You can't run away now!"

"No! I want to fight!" Enjolras said.

"I can't let you die!" Marius exclaimed, shooting at some soldiers at the same time.

"I'm not dying! Jesus, Marius!" he said annoyed and tried to walk further but his ankle couldn't take it.

"Go, now!" Marius said and grabbed Enjolras' arm. He tried to drag him to the side carefully. "Eponine!"

Eponine looked up and saw them coming over to her. "I'm here!" she yelled and waved.

Marius walked over to her while he was supporting Enjolras.

"He's in pain, he can't go on, please look after him!"

"Yes, of course I will," she nodded.

"You talk like I'm shot, I only bruised my ankle. Make sure you don't get shot yourself,"

"I will," Marius said.

"Marius? Where are you?" Courfeyrac cried.

"I'm here!" Marius said and raised up his hand, "I'm coming back!"

"Be careful," Eponine said to him worried.

"Of course I will be careful," he said and smiled at her.

"Do it for France mate," Enjolras said to him.

"Vive la France!," Marius said and raised his arm

"Vive la France," Enjolras echoed him and also raised his arm, which made him loose his balance, luckily Eponine grabbed his arm just in time. He grinned at her, while Marius ran back to the other students and joined the fight again. He took a flag as well and raised it high, "Who will fight with me?!"

He tried to climb on the carriage again, but he was dragged off by some soldiers.

"Shoot me if you want," Marius said.

"What is he doing?" Enjolras said worried.

"I don't know…" Eponine answered.

"Shoot me then, bloody bastard's!" he said angrily and raised his flag again.

"Whatever you want, boy," one of the soldiers said and pointed his gun at him.

"No.. Marius!" Enjolras exclaimed, panic taking over his voice, "Marius!"

Marius gulped but didn't move at all, still raising his flag high.

Then the soldier pulled the trigger and there was a loud bang. There was a lot of shooting around, but at that moment it was like only that shot was heard.

The bullet hit Marius in his chest and he fell down on the ground.
