Gavroche shoved me down behind the bank.
"Oh my God!" I hissed.
He just stared straight forward, not moving. A girl and two boys, hardly older than Annabelle hung from the ropes, swaying in the breeze. The ropes holding them up became weaker and weaker as the flames came closer and closer to their bodies. The girl kept yelling things to some onlookers below.
"YOU CAN KILL ME BUT YOU WILL NEVER KILL THE REVOULUTION!" She screamed.
"Gavroche!" I wispered. But he just kept staring at the girl. She was stunning. Her hair was such a whitish blonde, it looked silver in the moonlight. Her white nightgown flowed freeley in the breeze. I sighed, dunking Gavroche's blonde head into the water. Just as he popped back up, a new voice rang out in the dark night.
"YOU DESERVE THIS! YOU ARE A BAD, BAD GROUP OF CHULDREN WHO NEED TO BE PUNISHED!" A fat women yelled from below.
"DAMN YOU!" Screamed the girl.
Some of the onlookers from below began to pelt rocks at the three of them. Meanwhile, the flames kept thinning out the ropes further and further.
"You see the girl?" Gavroche asked. I nooded. "Well, when the rope breaks, I will go get her. See how her rope is frayed more than the others? Well, that means she is going to drop first. So you get the first boy that drops. I'll try to bring her back so I can get the last one, but you might have to get them both. Okay?" He explained.
"Okay." I said.
Just then, a sicking crack filled the air, followed by a strangled cry. The branch supporting the ropes had broken about three quarters or the way, sending the three children even closer to a suprising doom. Before the branch could completely snap off, the girl's rope completly frayed anf broke, sending the girl falling into the water. Gavroche dove beneath the water, shooting straight torawds the girl. He didnt come up one single time. It hadnt occured to me that I wouldnt be alowed to breath in order to not be caught. The rope of the smallest boy snapped, and he screamed before he hit the water. I took a deep breath and pushed off of the dirt wall, shooting through the water. My eyes could open just enough so that I could see the small boy floating deeper ad deeper. I grabbed him, feeling his body tense in suprise. Putting one arm underneath his, I did everything in my power not to burst up to the surface and get air. Once I was sure we were out of eyesight, I exploded to the surface gasping for air. The boy did too, and looked up at me with shocked green eyes. I saw the girl standing near the bank, her eyes wide. Gavroche and the last boy had both dissapeared, but I could still see rings of water around where the boy had hit the water. The girl embraced the little boy. Without a word, I pushed them behinde the bank and out of eyesight. A few moments later, Gavroche popped up next to me, the older boy, looking identical to the smallest, black hair, green eyes and all, opened his eyes and coughed up a mouthfull of water.
"Thank you!" Exclaimed the girl, throwing her arms around Gavroche. I couldnt help but feel a pang of jealosy, even more so when I saw Gavroche blush.
"Its not a problem." He muttered.
"My name is Evangilne!" She said, "Evangilne Enjolras.
Well I sure didnt see that coming.
