Eponine opened her eyes to a warm summer day after she had been walking for what seemed like days, but had only really been a few hours. She found herself in a meadow, out of her ratty bloodstained clothing and into a beautiful white gown with no tight corset to go underneath. Her skin was relieved of her bruises and she appeared to be like one of the beautiful, rich girls, but better. Words could not describe the beauty that Eponine had been transformed into and when she saw it herself, she was in shock.

She walked around looking for something she was not sure of. All of the sudden she saw an older man dressed in a white robe and she knew it was God. Eponine fell down on her knees, "Oh Father, why am I here with you? I am a wretched girl!"

"You are beautiful my daughter. Rise and walk with me."

Eponine still did not believe that she was worthy to be with her creator, yet she did not want to disobey. She was just in a complete and utter state of awe before she worked up the courage to ask, "Father, why do I look like this?"

"This is your spirit. You have one of the most beautiful spirits capable of holding so many things including love, compassion, and sacrifice no matter the suffering you had been through before."

"But I have forsaken you. I have left Marius unprotected."

"Perhaps, my child it was not your duty to protect Marius."

"What does that mean?" Eponine was puzzled by God's statement.

"Your heart no longer yearns for Marius and soon Marius's heart will not yearn for you."

Eponine was ready to protest even to God, no matter what he would do or say to her, but then she realized that he was in fact correct.

She looked back up at him, "If my heart does not yearn for Marius then who's does it yearn for? What am I to do?"

"You are a smart girl, capable of so many things. It may not be your job to save Marius directly, but to point another in the right direction."

Eponine was puzzled, "But who? And how can this be?"

"You were children together."

Eponine thought back to when she was a child and enjoying life at the inn. Back then she was a horribly spoiled brat, well she had to be to be the daughter of the Thernardier's. That's when she remembered the girl in whom He was speaking of. The servant girl whose mother was poor and father had abandoned the family. "Cosette?"

"I am certain you will be able to save him especially if you have her and her father's care. They are good people. I trust in you to fulfill this task."

Eponine smiled, "I will LORD." Then she paused, slightly confused, "But how do I find my way back to Paris? I am in a whole different world."

"Look down."

When Eponine turned to state that she was still confused, the LORD was gone. Then she took the advice and looked down, finding herself outside the convent. She knew exactly where to go.

She appeared to Cosette first in a dream, but when she awoke Cosette found the girl standing beside her bed. When Cosette went to scream out for her father because there was a girl in her room, Eponine said, "Do not be afraid. I am here in God's place."

Cosette looked up at the girl confused then asked, "Eponine? What are you talking about?"

"I was the first to fall at the barricades, but that is not what I am here to attend to."

"You died? Oh Eponine, I am sorry for what I thought of you forgive me, please."

"Cosette! Listen, I do not have much time here. You need to listen to me and do something instructed by God." When Eponine had Cosette's full undivided attention, she continued, "Do you remember the boy at the marketplace?"

"The one who was with you?"

"Yes, him. His name is Marius and he does not know it yet, but he loves you. He did not see you before as you had seen him because he had loved me. When I was on Earth, I was meant to protect Marius, but my heart is being saved for another I have not found yet."

"You're telling me to love Marius? What is this for?"

"If you do not help him at the barricades, he will die."

"But I cannot help him! I know nothing about fighting."

"Your father must go in your place."

Cosette looked at Eponine as if she was crazy, "He is old! It is too dangerous. What if he falls in battle?"

"He won't. It is God's will for this to happen Cosette. After the fighting's done, Marius and your father will return safely home and your family will prosper." Eponine looked at Cosette, noting how foolish she was compared to her, but could not feel any sort of anger in her heart towards her.

"I am afraid that is all the time I have to visit you. Remember my message." Then Eponine smiled at Cosette, "God is with you my sister."
