Heello peeps! Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, especially Primrose and SunRise19. You gals rock! Oh guys, the rating may go up a notch later on, it depends on what I wanna do but I may keep it the way it is. Ok anyways here's Ch. 6, let's see how this go! Please R/R!
Quasimodo was cleaning out the vespers in the late morning when Marie showed up to see him. Marie was not able to see him for three days since he last saw her and was so relieved that she showed up to see him.
"Hi Quasimodo!" Marie said as she approached him from behind. Quasimodo spun around to see her as soon as he heard her voice.
"Oh Marie! I was so worried about you!" he said as he went over to hug Marie.
"Oh I have been sick the past three days. I had a terrible cold and my parents refused to let me go out!" she said and laughed.
"Well I don't blame them! I'm glad you got some rest." Quasimodo said as he and Marie sat down.
"Yeah I guess it was nice but I honestly missed going out. And I especially missed you." she said.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah, you are so sweet Quasi. I am so thankful that I have met you." she said as she touched his hand. Quasimodo blushed and put his hand in hers.
"I'm glad that I met you as well Marie." he said and tightly squeezed her hand. Marie smiled and felt chills down her spine when he held her hand like that.
"Quasi?"
"Yes Marie?"
"Will you please tell me about Jean Frollo and his brother?" she asked.
Quasimodo took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll tell you everything from the beginning."
Quasimodo started from the beginning and told her about his mother and how Frollo tired to kill him before the Archdeacon stopped him. He found out all about that shortly after Frollo's death from the Archdeacon himself
since Frollo never told him the truth. He told her about how he left thecathedral, how he met Esmeralda and Phoebus, the Festival of Fools and how Frollo tried to burn the city to look for Esmeralda. He told her about all the lies Frollo told him and how he was treated cruelly by Frollo. He told her everything.
"So, after I broke my chains, I swung down to save Esmeralda from the stake and then Frollo and his guards attacked the cathedral and all the Gypsies broke loose and fought against the guards to stop them." Quasimodo said.
"I can't believe it!" Marie said.
"And then I thought Esmeralda had died from suffocating when she breathed in the smoke. Then Frollo came behind me and tried to kill me, but I fought him back before he got the chance. It was my first time that I really got to stand aganist him. And then a miracle happened!" he said.
"What's that?" Marie asked.
"Esmeralda came back to life. It was if God gave her a second chance to live! Frollo of course tried to kill her so I took her out to the side of the cathedral and Frollo found us and swung his sword at us. He knocked me offthe edgeand Esmeralda held on to me and then Frollo plummeted to his death. And then I fell, but thank heaven that Phoebus was there to catch
me."
"Yeah" Marie said.
"So, that's what basically happened. The Gypsies were free from all charges, Esmeralda and Phoebus are in love, and as for me. I have freedom. But I'm afraid for all of that will change since his brother is now here."
"He told my father a very different story about Frollo's death. He seems to be just like his brother." she said.
"I'm not the least bit surprised." Quasimodo said.
"Oh Quasi, I never realized how much of a hero you really are. And you know something? We have something in common."
"What's that?" he asked.
"We both crave for adventure and freedom. We both know what it's like to be...trapped." she said.
"We really do, don't we?" he asked and smiled.
"Yeah." she whispered. Marie started to really feel something for the first time since she's been with Quasimodo. She felt that no other man is as understanding and kind as he. He had a beautiful spirit inside of him that no one could possibly understand. She began to feel, love.
Marie held his hand tightly and said, "Thank you so much for sharing your story with me."
"Your welcome. It felt really good to talk about it." he said. He looked into her brown eyes and noticed how beautiful she was. She wore a yellowdress that was tied with blue ribbon at the waist and wore a blue ribbon in
her pony tail. She was so beautiful.
"Do you wanna go somewhere with me?" he asked.
"Where?" she asked.
"I'm going to a Gypsy gathering in the square this evening. You may think it's kind of silly since you're used to royal balls, but there will be dancing. I would be honored if you would go with me?" he asked.
"Oh that sounds like so much fun! But the thing is I'm supposed to be back by the evening." she said.
"Oh I forgot! I'm sorry I totally understand!" Quasimodo said.
"Well, I can go back and ask. My parents might say yes!" Marie said.
"Are you sure Marie?" he asked.
"Yes of course! Just let me go back and ask and if I can go, I'll meet you there!" she said and stood up.
"Ok! Well I'll let you go back and ask!" Quasimodo said and stood up as well.
"Thanks darling. Hopefully I will see you tonight." she said and with that, she bent down to kiss his cheek and turned around to leave down the ladder. Quasimodo couldn't speak to say good bye. He touched his cheek where she kissed him.
"Wow!" he whispered.
"Please Mama? Papa? Just for one evening?" Marie pleaded.
"Oh I don't know muffin." the Duke said "A party in the square?"
"Please, it'll be so much fun!" Marie said.
"But there's tasteless dancing and music!" the Duchess said.
"Oh Mama! I want to go sooo badly! I'll do anything!" Marie said.
"Anything?" the Duke asked.
"Yes!" Marie said.
"Well, if we let you go, would you mind if we have another ball so that we can find you a husband?" the Duke suggested.
"Oh Papa! I hate those stupid balls." Marie said.
"Well if you don't like that idea, then..."
"Ok ok! Fine! It's a deal." Marie said.
"Excellent! Now you can go tonight." the Duke said.
"Oh thank you soooo much Mama, Papa!" Marie said and hugged them both.
"But you must be back by midnight, not a second more!" the Duchess said.
"I will Mama, I promise." Marie said and ran upstairs. She jumped around the room in excitement. She jumped on her bed and laid there and hugged a pillow.
'I can't wait to see him tonight! Quasi and I will have the best time ever!' Marie thought. But then she sat up and came to a realization.
'Am I really in love with him?' she thought to herself. She thought about it for awhile and realized how happy he made her feel, how he gave her chills whenever he touched her. How he was so sweet and sensitive and funny. And then she thought about how beautiful his eyes were. She loved seeing his big blue eyes and how they sparkled. She loved the sound of his
voice.
She hugged her pillow close and softly said, "I really am in love with him."
She walked around her room and thought about how much she cared for Quasimodo. He had shown her a new world that she never thought existed. He had given her life and happiness whenever she was around him. She wondered if he felt the same for her. She walked around the house thinking about him and wandered out in the garden. She sat on the bench thinking if he loved her back. She softly started to sing...
"I peer through windows.
Watch life go by.
Dream of tomorrow and wonder why?
The past is holding me,
keeping life at bay.
I wander lost in yesterday.
Wanting to fly!
But scared to try.
But if someone like you, found someone like me.
Then suddenly,
Nothing would ever be the same.
My heart would take wing
And I'd feel so alive!
If someone like you
found me!
So many secrets
I long to share.
All I have needed
Is someone there...
To help me see a world,
I've never seen before.
A love to open every door!
To set me free.
So I can soar!
For if someone like you,
Found someone like me.
Then suddenly,
nothing would ever be the same!
There'd be a new way to live.
A new life to love.
If someone like you
found me!
Oh, if someone like you,
found someone like me.
Then suddenly,
nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing
and I'd feel so alive!
If someone like you,
loved me!
Loved me.
Loved me.
She stood there and smiled and looked towards the cathedral. She then went back inside to get ready for that night.
