Chapter 21
Marius
A quest?! Marius could not go on any quest! He just got here! He did not know anything about a prophecy or these ridiculous rules! Marius prayed to the Gods that he did not have to go on this quest. It was really a rumor anyway... right?
Marius went back to his cabin and started to pace back and forth.
He rubbed his brown hair in frustration and thought about what might happen on this "quest". He was not really... angry. He was just scared. Marius stopped pacing when he heard a knock on his cabin door. He briskly walked to the door and opened it slowly.
Feuilly stood in the doorway with a sheet of paper in his hand.
"Hey Marius!"
"Hi Feuilly. What's wrong?" Feuilly handed him the sheet of paper.
"I was told to give you this. Apparently it's really important." Marius nodded.
"Thanks."
"No problem. And Enjolras called an emergency meeting and he expects everybody to be there." Feuilly walked away and Marius shut the door when he was out of sight. Marius unfolded the letter and started to read it. The letter said:
Marius, this is really important.
Please meet me by the lake tonight
at 12:00 tonight. Please be there.
Love, Cosette
Marius folded up the note and put it back in his pocket. Marius continued to pace back and forth. What could this be about?
Marius opened the door and walked to the center of the camp.
Enjolras
He was nervous and he didn't want to have to do this choose between his friends but there was no other way. He didn't want any of them killed but maybe Eponine was right and the Oracle could sometimes be wrong. Sometimes it's prophecies were misleading and if he chose not to care and pretend there wasn't a prophecy then maybe it wouldn't come true. Maybe all of the other times it had come true was because the leader psyched themselves out and made it come true by believing it would. He had to face them at some point so he took a deep breath and walked outside where (surprise surprise) they were all waiting.
"So?" Eponine asked.
"I've made a choice." They all looked at him expectantly. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket.
"I've decided on Eponine-"
"Yes!" She screamed. "Thank you! I'll work really hard training and such! When do we leave?"
"I'll answer that when I'm done. Now please no questions until I finish." He glanced down at his list. "'Ferre." He smiled.
"Of course." Enjolras shot him a look. He simply shrugged.
"R," He nodded and Enjolras knew he was going to regret the decision to bring him. "Courferyac." His friend smiled. "Joly."
"I won't disappoint you!" He said with a grin. Enjolras ignored him and continued.
"Musichetta." She smirked at the boys whose names haven't been called yet. "Cosette." She seemed a bit surprised but smiled all the same. "And Marius." Marius's eyes widened. Did he hear him right? "Thats all." His friends nodded. "Everyone whos coming needs to be preparing physically today. We'll have a meeting at three o'clock today where I will tell you what we're doing. We leave either tomorrow morning or the day after so be prepared. Thats all." He said as he walked back into his room again, leaving his friends in a state of confusion.
Reactions? Review.
