After her visit to Cosette, Eponine decided to pay a visit to her adopted father just in case his daughter did not tell him of what she had just seen. This was of all places to see an angel, so he would certainly believe her if she told him. When Eponine got to his room, she greeted Valjean similarly to how she greeted Cosette.

"Greetings Monsieur, the Lord is with you."

When the man gave her a puzzled look, she went on, "God looks down on you in love and has asked of you a favour."

The man seemed to come to his senses, but did not deny what he was seeing, "Whatever am I to do in His name?"

"You must save the life of an innocent man."

"But who?"

"A boy named Marius. Cosette knows of him rather...fondly. You see, I had cared for him once, but alas, I am not alive and cannot help him as long as I am not living."

"How do I save him?"

"You shall find him at the barricades. All of the others have fallen, but the barricade at Cafe Musain still stands tall. However, it will probably be overrun in the span of just a few days. Marius is destined to come out of this alive, but only if you help him."

"I will do what I can to help my Lord and this poor child."

"There is no doubt of your success. Go now, be careful. There is trouble in the streets tonight."

Back at the barricade, the boys, even Enjolras, were quickly losing hope. Marius was full of both grief and guilt for the death of his beloved.

When he was finally resting, Eponine appeared to him in a dream. He was confused at this sight. "Why must God torture me with your presence if you are not really here?"

"How do you know that I am not really here?"

"Why, this is a dream and dreams are certainly not real."

"I seem to recall that I was once your dream. Was I not real?"

"That is when you were alive."

"There are a lot of things that can make this possible, but I am certainly real even if this may be a dream."

"Oh, Eponine." The boy sighed, "I am sorry for what happened. I wish it could've been me instead."

The girl shook her head, "Don't be sad for what happened. It is not your fault and it is not entirely a bad thing." She sat down next to the boy. "It was simply my time to go and be with God. You can not obsess over the past."

"I just miss you so much. Everyday you're not here, it kills me inside."

"I will always be with you even if you cannot see me. Right here." Eponine placed her hand in the middle of Marius's chest, over his heart.

The boy placed his own hand over hers, then sighed once more, "You feel so real. It is as if you are actually here in not only spirit, but body too."

This time Eponine sighed. She had not felt this badly since she died. "I wish I was here with you, but you must come out of this alive."

"What are you talking about? I do not want to go on without you. Eponine, are you even listening to me?"

Eponine would have been in tears at this point if she was still a mortal being, but alas all of her tears had dried up and her body was abandoned somewhere she did not know. "You are destined to come out of this alive."

"What about the others?" Marius questioned her. When she didn't answer he got angry and yelled, "EPONINE, ANSWER ME!"

She could feel her heart breaking as she silently shook her head, and went off as the boy, now awake was being surrounded by the other boys of the barricade. They were trying to calm him down, thinking he was crazy. "She was really here, I am not crazy!" He looked at them, crying, but then realized it was no hope. Even though he did not completely believe what had just happened, he knew that she had certainly been there.

Even though he was still in pain, it seemed as though when she touched his heart a wave of relief had passed over him. It was as if a little piece of Eponine was stuck inside him and telling him that everything was ok. This feeling also gave him that maybe God was leading him into a much different direction than he thought.
