Chapter two already? Wow! I am only doing this because I feellike you need more of a sense of the story. Also, I am including my OC Camille, from You and Me. So yeah.
"Azelma!" Called Madam T.
"What Maman?" yelled the girl in question.
"I need ya to run me an errand!"
Azelma sighed and got up off of the floor where she had been playing with her cat.
"What do ya need me ta do?" She asked.
"Here's a coin. Go get as much bread as ya can with it." Madame T handed her a small coin.
"Alright." Azelma put it in her apron pocket and set out.
It was spring, 1831. A busy time for Paris. Everything seemed to be changing. Azelma hardly recognized her brother, Gavroche and his little girlfriend, Camille when she just about tripped over them.
"Sorry," she murmered, continueing on her way.
"Zelma!" Gavroche called.
"Gavroche? That be you?" Azelma gasped.
"Yea it is! Is that anyway to treat your brother and his girl?" Camille laughed as he put his arm around her neck.
"Im so sorry! I didnt reckognize you!"
"Its alright. Where are you going?"
"Running an errand for Maman."
"Oh. Well sister, I'll see ya around." He turned to leave.
"Wait!" I called out. He stopped and turned.
"Yeah?"
"Come with me! I havent seen you in a while." I said.
"I didnt think you cared." He replied, his blunt words slicing deep into my heart.
I froze, hurt. It hadnt been my fault he had left. Not my fault he had avoided me for years.
"Well, okay then. I shall be on my way." I turned, tears stinging my eyes.
"Wait!" A new voice called out this time. It was Camille. "I'll go with ya!"
"Id like that." I said, smiling at her. Gavroche rolled his eyes and followed her.
"Oi! Eponine!" Gavroche called. My older sister, Eponine looked up from her convorsation with her Marius.
"Hello!" She waved. I hardly expected her to come and join us, but she and Marius parted and she waltzed ober to us, a small smile on her lips.
"How are my favorite sinlings today?" she asked.
"Im not your sibling!" Camille pointed out.
"Yes, but since your little street friends are already starting to plan your wedding with Gavroche, you might as well be." Eponine teased. Camille blushed and Gavroche laughed.
"We are going to get bread for Maman, care to join us?" I asked.
"Havent got anything else to do, so why not?" She shrugged.
"Azelma!" I heard a little shreik and tiny footsteps to my right, and before I knew what was happeing, two little arms were around my waist, almost knocking me over. I saw a little blonde head and laughed.
"Why hello there Lucy!" I greeted the girl. I couldnt help but feel pity torwards the girl. I had found her and her grandfather freezing to death last winter on te streets. The were full, but lack of clothing had threatened to kill them anyway. I had given little Lucy all of my old clothes and her grandfather, whos name I did nit know, and simply called Man, my fathers old clothes. We had all been friends scince.
"Azelma!" A rich, manly voice called. Man sauntered over to us, cheery as always. He embraced me.
"Azelma! Come and play with me!" Lucy begged!
"Oh, Luce! I cant. I have to go getbread for my maman." I explained. "Youcan come with, if ya like."
"I need to do a bread run myself!" Man said, "So we will both join you."
"Azelma!" A voice called. I looked over my shoulder to see my friend, Jack.
"Hey!" I called.
"Ponine, Gavroche, Camille, Lucy, Man." He nodded to each of us. "So where are you all off to today?" He asked.
"Bread run." I responded, simply.
"Ah. Mind if I join you?"
"Sure."
"Great!" He grinned, "Let me grab a sou."
"He so likes you." Eponine wispered once he was gone. I blushed.
"I know."
"AZELMA!" I heard a scream coming from behind me.
"AMELIA!" I yelled back. My best friend ran torwards me. A gamin, like her brother Jack, she lived in the upper part of the elephant with Gavroche.
"What are you all doing?" She asked, once she had caught up to us.
"Bread run!" We all said.
She looked confused for a moment.
"Can I go?" she asked.
"Of corse." I said.
And all of us set off.
This was my family. My true family.
