Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Les Miserables characters. I would like
to dedicate this story to my best friend Rachel who helped me a lot along
the way. Her pen name on fan fiction is Sandra Athrenael
a/n: After I wrote the first few chapters of Les Miserables (the later years) I started having different opinions on it. I wanted to leave it as it is so I decided to just start writing another one along with it. Any way this story starts out like what happened in the movie. Cosette begged Valjean to let them leave the convent and he gives in to her.
"Look papa isn't it wonderful." Said Cosette, as she looked out the window of the coach.
"Yes the streets of Paris can be very magnificent in some places, but in others it is not as magnificent."
Later that day when Cosette and Valjean were in their new house and had gotten everything settled Valjean was working in the garden.
"Papa?" said Cosette coming up to Valjean
"Yes Cosette."
"Could I please go for a walk?" Valjean took a deep breath.
"I'm not so sure if it's a good idea for you to be going out by yourself."
"Papa I have to walk alone someday."
"Alright you can go, but promise me you'll be back in two hours."
"But how will I know when two hours are up." Asked Cosette Valjean reached into her pocket and pulled out his gold pocket watch,
"Take this with you."

As Cosette walked throw the streets of Paris she came across a group of people listening to a man. As she got closer she could hear what he was saying.
"The king lied to us. He thanks that being poor is a crime and because of this our children are suffering," At that moment the man's eyes fell on Cosette and he stopped, "It is here my brothers. We are the republic!" said the man. Cosette turned and continued walking. All of a sudden someone reached out of a ally way and grabbed her. She struggled to get loose but it was no use.
"Give me your money and I promise to go easy on you."
"Never." The man pushed her away from him.
"We could ether do this the easy way or the hard way." He started to walk towards her. He took out a gun and raised it so it was even with Cosette's heart. Cosette closed her eyes bracing herself for the pain but it didn't come she opened her eyes to see the men with the gun unconscious on the ground. She looked up to see the man who had been making the speech in the square standing there.
"are you alright Mad'moiselle."
"Yes I'm fine. I...i better be going." She started to walk away but the man grabbed her wrist.
""Well can I see you again?"
"I suppose." She tried to leave again but he still held her wrist
"Well, what's your name."
"Cosette." as she walked home all she could think about was that man.

Later that day Cosette sat in her garden reading her book, she had just finished eating dinner when she heard a tapping at the gate. She looked up to see a girl about her age dressed in rags.
"Let me in." said the girl
"How do I know that you're not dangerous?" Said Cosette
"How do I know that you're not dangerous; we will just have to trust each other." Cosette walked cautiously over to the gate and took out a key from her pocket and opened the gate.
"Who are you?" asked Cosette tuning to the girl, a hint of fear in her voice.
"My name is Eponine. Marius sent me." Said the girl.
"Who?"
"You mean he didn't even tell you his name. Here I'll describe him. He's a tall, curly brown hair green eye man." Cosette nodded.
"Yes, he was making a speech in town today. He's fine speaking in front if all those people but there is something about you that's got him nervous."
"Is Marius the leader of them."
"No, the actual leader is a man named Enjolras. Oh and then there's Gavroch. He's the real leader of the pack. At least that's what we let him think," Cosette gave Eponine a puzzled look, "Well we found him on the streets one day when he was about three. And ever since he has been tagging along wherever we go."
"And that's what makes him the leader." Said Cosette
"No, he's not really the leader, that's just what we let him think." About five minutes later they heard a creaking by the gate, and a small boy emerged.
"Ah, Eponine what are you doing here?" asked the small boy
"The question is what are you doing here," Said Eponine, "that's Gavroche."
"And um, who are you?" Asked Gavroche motioning to Cosette.
"Mind your own businesses." Said Eponine
"No, it's alright. My name is Cosette." Gavroche nodded
"Now Eponine for the second time. What are you doing here?"
"Well if you must know Marius sent me."
"Why?" Asked Gavroche, Eponine shot him a look, "ooooooooooooooooooooh!"
"Now could you please tell me what you're doing here?" asked Eponine, Gavroche thought for a moment.
"I don't know." he finally said, it was at that moment that Cosette could hear her father's voice coming from inside the house.
"Oh no, it's my father. You both have to go before he sees you." Said Cosette as she rushed to the gate and opened it for them. After she closed it she quickly went and sat back down about a minute later Valjean came outside.
"Cosette what are you doing out here this late at night?" asked Valjean
" I wasn't tired so I decided to stay out here for a while longer." Said Cosette
