Chapter 3
As the Doctor was walking up the steps to Le Cafe Musain and heard Enjolras, the leader of the students shouting about how the time of the revolution is near, and he smiled to himself as he was also very excited. When he came into the cafe, he was greeted the way he expected by Enjolras;
"Marius, you're late." The Doctor didn't respond, he just wandered to a table, sat down and started fiddling with his fob watch, daydreaming of the beautiful mystery girl he met at the market. I hope Rose doesn't take too long to find her, how I long to see her golden hair, her plump, perfect lips and her beautiful blue e-. The Doctor's thoughts were cut off by one of the students, Joly, questioning him about his strange behaviour
"Marius, what's wrong today? You look as if you've seen a ghost!" Another student, Grantaire, who was an alcoholic, cut in
"Some wine and say what's going on?" The Doctor shook his head, put the watch down and replied dreamily
"A ghost you say? A ghost maybe! She was just like a ghost to me, one minute there then she was gone!" Grantaire laughed and replied
"I am agog, I am aghast! Is Marius in love at last? I've never heard him 'oo' and 'ah'!" The students laughed at this and he continued
"You talk of battles to be won, and here he comes like Don Juan! It is better than an opera!" The students, except for Enjolras laughed at this, Enjolras shut them up soon enough by saying
"It is time for us all to decide who we are! Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now? Have you asked of yourself, what's the price you might pay? Is this simply a game for a rich young boy to play? The colours of the world are changing day by day!" The Doctor was annoyed at this and tried to convince them all that he wasn't being silly
"Had you seen her today you might know how it feels to be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight! Had you been there today you might also have known how your world can be changed in just one burst of light, and what was right seems wrong and what was wrong seems right!" Enjolras wasn't convinced
"Marius, you're no longer a child, I do not doubt you mean it well but now there is a higher call! Who cares about your lonely soul? We strive towards a larger goal! Our little lives don't count at all!"
The debate was interrupted by a young boy called Gavroche who had just arrived to the cafe. Now, Gavroche was Thenardier's and Madame Thenardier's son but he ran away at a very young age and now lives with the other street kids and acts as their leader. He is also a good friend of Courfreyrac who was a student who protects Gavroche like a little brother. Gavroche also met Rose on the streets and they became friends quite quickly although being with Rose sometimes made him sad as he once had an older sister called Azelma who died after a long illness and Rose reminds him of her. All the same, she was like a big sister to him.
"Listen everybody!" he shouted, as the students went quiet and he continued
"General Lamarque is dead." Enjolras was the first to break the silence
"Lamarque is dead." And then he became excited
"Lamarque, his death is the hour of fate, the people's man! His death is the sign we await! On his funeral day, they will honour his name, in the light of rebellion, a blaze in their eyes! From the candles of grief we will kindle our flame, on the tomb of Lamarque shall the barricade rise! The time is here! Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer! Let us take to the street with no doubt in our hearts! But a jubilant shout, they will come one and all!" All of the students joined in and shouted
"They will come when we call!" Amidst the excitement, the Doctor spotted Rose at the bottom of the stairs and ran to her, hoping she found the beautiful girl.
"Did you find her? Did you find where she lives?" he asked excitedly, Rose smiled and nodded
"Follow me," she said and grabbed his hand.
As they ran down the streets of Paris to the cottage, the Doctor was shouting down the streets like a mad drunkard as he declared his happiness to the world about finding his love.
"In my life, she has burst like the music of angels, the light of the sun! And my life seems to stop as if something is over and something has scarcely begun! Rose!" The Doctor shouted as he spun round with Rose and she giggled despite her sadness about him loving something else, although she was happy that her Doctor was happy.
"You're the friend who has brought me here, thanks to you, I'm at one with the gods and heaven is near!" The Doctor let go of Rose and threw his arms in the air out of sheer joy
"And I soar through a world that is new that is free!" Rose trailed behind and spoke to herself, now sad again
"Every word that he says is a dagger in me... In my life, there's been no one like him anywhere, anywhere where he is. If he asked, I'd be his." then they both said to themselves
"In my life, there's been someone who touches my life" They got to the house
"Waiting near..." whispered the Doctor as he walked towards the gate
"Waiting here." Whispered Rose as she backed away across the street to watch from afar as the beautiful girl now confirmed as Cosette declared her love to the Doctor after he did to her. They both started talking about how amazing it was to have met each other and Rose was close to tears.
He was never mine to lose, why regret what cannot be? These are words he'll never say, not to me, not to me, not for me. His heart full of love, he will never feel this way.
When the two lovebirds walked into Cosette's garden, Rose noticed Thenardier and his gang running towards the cottage. She then spotted Montparnasse, a member of the gang that was sort of in love with Rose but it was more lust, she rejected him and he wasn't the nicest at times but the closest thing to a friend in the gang so she approached him and questioned him
"Parnasse, what are you doing so far out of our patch?"
"This house, we're going to do it! Rich man, plenty of scratch. You remember, he's the one that got away the other day. Got a number on his chest, perhaps a fortune put away!" When he went away to join the rest of the gang, Rose panicked.
"Oh Lord, somebody help me! Dear God, what'll I do? He'll think this is an ambush, he'll think I'm in it too! What'll I do, what'll I say? I've got to warn them here, I've got to find a way!"
They were talking about what the man had done to Thenardier years ago with Cosette Borrowed Cosette? I wonder what happened... anyway, no time to lose, I need to think of a plan! One of the gang spotted her
"What have we here?" Thenardier looked towards Rose on hearing that
"Who is this hussy?" The man who spotted her replied,
"It's that brat, Rose; don't you know your own lodger?" Another of the gang interjected
"Why's she hanging about you?" Thenardier walked over to Rose
"Rose, get on home, you're not needed in this, we're enough here without you!" Rose didn't budge
"I know this house, I tell you, there's nothing here for you! Just an old man and the girl, they live ordinary lives!" Thenardier wasn't having any of this
"Don't interfere, you've got some gall. Take care young miss; you've got a lot to say!" One of the gang said
"She's going soft!" Another said
"Happens to all!" And then Montparnasse interjected.
"Go home Rose! Go home, you're in the way!" Rose wasn't going to take any of this
"I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here!" Thenardier walked closer to her, angry
"One little scream and you'll regret it for a year!" Bur Rose ignored him and screamed anyway and after hitting her, Thenardier shouted to everyone
"Leave her to me, don't wait around! Make for the sewers, go underground!" When everyone left, he stormed over to Rose, putting his face right up to hers
"You wait my girl, you'll rue this night! I'll make you scream, you'll scream alright!" Having said this he quickly fled as the Doctor and Cosette ran out of the gate to see what all the commotion was and then he spotted her against the wall and ran up to her, grinning.
"It was you're scream that sent them away! Once more, Rose, saving the day!" Seeing Cosette's confused look, he introduced the two
"Dearest Cosette, my friend, Rose, brought me to you, showed me the way!" They heard a door open
"Someone is near, let's not be seen, somebody's here..." The Doctor grabbed Rose's hand and ran. Rose smiled at this.
Just like old times, running hand in hand with the Doctor away from danger, a part of me wishes that those aliens would get here soon so I have an excuse to have him back. I miss him, I miss being more to him than just a street rat that he was friends with, I miss the Tardis, I miss the adventures, I miss the hugs we'd have after a long adventure that we managed to sort out. But at least I've got something back, even just for a minute; at least I've got the running for now. I've missed the running.
We'll be seeing more of the fob watch next chapter; I hope you're enjoying it so far! Please review!
