So here is the next chapter, I hope you like it, R&R!
The Day came, the day stayed, and then it ended.
The Funeral was huge, a lot of people where there, I could tell who truly cared and those who were going to revolt. So as the carriage I rode in made its way over a bridge and I say Enjolras, standing there with a bunch of others, with the same pin pinned to their cloths, I knew that this was happening and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Little did my brother know or anyone know that, was part of the army, know that I would be the start to this, so as my carriage slow strode by where Enjolras was, I looked at him, knowing that this could possibly be the last time I ever saw him, nodded my head, then looked forward and the carriage went on. And that's how the French Revolution started.
Slowly I started to hear a mummer in the quiet crowd then it grew louder as people sang out, people where getting in the parade stopping it, Enjolras and some other school boys somehow managed to climb up onto of the carriage holding my father's dead body, someone yelled something and it got all quiet, then a gun shot was heard, that startled even me, as an older lady fell over, and someone yelled
"What'd you do that for she was and innocent woman!?"
Then everyone went nuts, as furniture started falling from windows, and people started running behind buildings, and guns went off. I didn't know what to do, the man directing the horses on the carriage I was in abandoned it, and the horses escaped and I was left sitting in the middle of flying furniture, and gun shots, I was sure I was going to die. I ducked down and climbed off the carriage and stayed low, until I heard a "Psst, Sophie" being whispered from the other side of the carriage, I looked over and saw Enjolras, he came around grabbed my hand, and yelled "Follow Me!"
He pulled me through, the crowds of people, and around piles of furniture, and into quiet, small alley, between two tall buildings.
Before I realized it, Enjolras' hands cupped my face and he pulled me in to a very passionate kiss, that I was not expecting, when he pulled away he was breathing hard, and said "now I want you to stay inside until it's over, do not, I repeat do NOT, for any reason go outside until someone comes and tells you it's safe."
I guess I was crying because he wiped a stray tear from my check with his thumb, then he whispered " I love you" then he was gone, and I was alone, in a dark ally, but it actually happened to be the ally that was next to my house, so I went farther down the alley and turned the corner onto what I suspected a busy street, but it was actually very quiet and empty, I just stood there for a moment then I heard the faint beating of drums and I took off into my house, and locked the door behind me.
Around my house I heard gun shots and screams and it smelled of blood and smoke, it grew dark, and the screams stopped, the guns stopped, but a worst feeling hung in the air, death. I was alone, the maid were not around, my father was dead, my brother was 'who knows where' but all I could think of was Enjolras and how he could be dead, that that was the last time I was ever going to see him, and I didn't even get to tell him I loved him.
It was dark now, but I couldn't sleep, I doubt anyone could, so I stayed in a chair by the fire with the windows drawn, and the fire on. Then I heard a faint knock on the door, so I peered through a window and saw a little boy, I ran to the door,
"Letter from the barricade, ma'am" he said, he was very young and dirty, and I wanted him safe.
"You were at the barricades? You must stay away from there, won't you come in?" I said as I took the letter. Sorry I got one more letter I need to deliver, thanks though" and before I could say anything else he was off, and I could no longer see him.
Out of know where there was a big BOOM!
So I quickly shut the door.
I went back to the chair I had been sitting in earlier, and opened the letter.
My dearest Sophie,
The barricade I am at is the last, one left, we are surrounded, if I do not make it out alive, and with all honesty I don't think I will, I wanted you to know I love you, and that if I do, I will find you my love, and we will be together. Just know I could be gone, and I just wanted you to remember love never dies, even when one is dead himself.
Yours truly,
Enjolras
So I won't lie when I was writing the letter part I got kind of teary eyed. So I know I left it on a cliff hanger, in some ways, if you know what I mean, but anyway, I'm excited to say that there is only ONE chapter left, and it will be up SOON.
Have a good week.
