The audience gasped at my love proclamation, and Frollo sneered, dropped the torch. I screamed, mixing with Quasi's roar of anguish overhead, Frollo's beady, dark eyes becoming red in watching me. I drew my head back grabbing any fresh air, and holding it in myself, getting drowsy until I glimpsed Quasi swinging into sight, his hands around my bound body, untying me. The audience roared, cheered as Quasi carried me away up above to Notre Dame, my breath out and inhaling in new air, and Quasi declared sanctuary for me.
I coughed, grabbing Quasi's attention as we went in his tower. He startled, then smiled at me. I grinned back at him. I told him to put me down, and I was a bit unsteady at first, but got better as I walked to his room, seeing bandages on a shelf. I told him to go out and fight as I bandage myself. He nodded determinedly and left. Laverne came in first, and she helped me put the bandages on my wounds, and bandaged up, fresh, I headed out, grabbing a thick board. I looked out to see the courtyard in ransack, and I glimpsed Esme and Phoebus helping each other fighting Frollo's minions, and Merla coming out of the cage after Clopin, grabbing a frying pan to defend herself. I grinned, and looked for coal and rocks around the boiler room, and having a load near me, I used my board to whack the mineral weapons toward the minions down below. I laughed inward every time I hit one on the face, head.
Then I heard the gargoyles shouting and talking on a floor above me, and I looked up to see the familiar capult fall over the edge and down past me. I whooped when the capult worked, and I saw minions climbing on a corner by their rope. I grinned, and went over as the minions made it over the edge. I slammed my board into them, causing them to fall back and down in the Seine, their screams fading. I went around the corners, checking for any more minions, and reached the boiler room once more and saw Quasi struggling to tip over the huge cauldron of burning oil, and came over to him, grabbing apiece of rope in my hands and pulled. I chuckled as we succeeded, the hot oil spilling out of Notre Dame. Quasi glanced at me, smiled widely.
"All right, Belle. We got them scattering!". cheered Quasi.
"Yeah, Quasi. We did it. We saved Notre Dame and Paris herself!". I replied happily. Quasi chuckled, and came over to me, hugging gently, watching himself so he wouldn't hurt me. I smiled as he hugged, and I heard the gargoyles cheer in the distance.
"I told you that Bellheart loves our guy!", shouted Hugo, and I heard a thump, presumably from Laverne. I chuckled softly, then suddenly I was pushed, hearing a gasp from Quasi. I turned around to see Quasi clutching his arm, a big cut bleeding, and Frollo standing near him, holding his sword.
"I knew you could save this gypsy girl, just like your mother died to save you.". sneered Frollo. Quasi exclaimed, looking shocked, then Frollo moved. But I moved first, shouting no, and jumping into him, rolling forward with my feet pushing Frollo away toward outside. His sword slipped away, Frollo groaned as he landed outside on the walkway. I grunted heavily, feeling my back wounds bleeding once more.
Frollo chuckled maliciously, "How dare you? Why do you care for that monster?".
I replied steadily, "I love Quasimodo, and I promised myself to protect him from monsters like you, Frollo, you sicko!.".
"I swear I'll kill you, even if it takes the last breath from me, gypsy vermin!". shouted Frollo as he got up and went toward me.
"Not this time ever or forever, you freaking monster!", I shouted as I drew my hand back and hit him hard on the eyes. He screamed, tipped backward left and right, and loosing his balance, he fell over the edge into the fire to oblivion forever. At last, I did it. I saved Quasi and Paris. Jolee gotcha to be proud of this! I panted, almost lost power in my legs when Quasi got me, looking concerned. I grinned at him, and he sighed, looking relieved. We heard shouts and calls, and we saw Esme and Phoebus coming toward us. Esme sighed of relief as she saw us, and Phoebus laughed, patting Quasi's shoulder, and grinning at me. I came out, watching the sun rise, the colors brightening the upcoming day. I heard a cough, and I turned to see Victor off to the side, handing me bandages. I smiled at him, nodding in thanks toward him. Quasi stepped over, his cut stopped of bleeding, and he grinned at me. He replied that he loves me too, and I couldn't help to kiss him fully, warmth and strength in the kiss overwhelming my body. I drew back to see his eyes shining happily, and I heard chuckles, I looked up to see Esme and Phoebus holding hands together.
We bandaged ourselves, and we came downstairs, talking and laughing, then Esme and Phoebus came out, the crowd cheering, and I started to come, then I noticed Quasi holding back, a fright in his eyes. I got down to his level, and told him that he's my hero, and that Paris deserves to know him. Convinced, he came out with my help, and with a bit of help from a brave girl, he got to be known. The audience cheered with the announcement from Clopin, and they got him and me up on their shoulders. Suddenly, he kissed me from nowhere, and I smirked, hugging him, and looked back to see both couples together on the steps of Notre Dame, smiling and winking. Finally, Quasi knows who he is, and where he belongs. And I got my man, a home, great friends, what more can be there?
