"Wake up."
She blinked groggily, surprised at the amount of effort it took.
"Can you hear me?"
She nodded stiffly.
"Good. Now open your eyes."
She opened her eyes and found herself in a dark alley. The body of a preteen girl lay in the dirt nearby. Her master floated nearby. She looked down at herself. She now looked exactly like the girl at her feet. She began to move and flex her new body, trying to get accustomed to her new shape.
"Good, go ahead and try it out. You must be able to perfectly mimic a human by morning. Now as a refresher...what is your name?" her master asked quietly.
"Eponine," she responded instantly, marveling at the feeling of sound going through her lips.
"Correct. Where are you?"
"France, at the beginning of the revolution."
"Also correct. And your charge?"
One face burned crystal clear in her mind's eye. "I have him."
He studied her for a moment, then nodded. "I believe you do. Now recite the Code of the Guardian Angel."
"I shall never reveal me true being or my true mission on this Earth to anyone. I will not form attachments to any human. Above all, I shall protect my charge with all of my strength, all of my power, and all of my love. This I swear by all that is good and just."
"Excellent. You know your mission. I shall take this poor girl's body with me and see that her soul find's its way. Farewell and good luck."
There was a blinding flash of light, then her master and the girl were gone. Eponine blinked and went to begin her new life as guardian angel of Marius Pontmercy.
A.N: Hey everybody. So this is my newest brainchild-I'm not sure how often I'll update it, that will probably depend on you. I'm going to put a poll up as to which of my three stories should receive the most attention. So go vote if you like this! Now I'm aware that this is really short, but I didn't want to start with the actual plot just yet, so whatever. It's a prologue. Get over it. Anyway, please review and vote in the poll! Thanks bunches.
