Chapter 25
Marius
Marius was inside of his cabin packing when he heard his door open slowly. He turned to see Cosette crying her eyes out in front of him.
"Cosette?" Cosette ran to him and hugged him tight. She cried into his chest. Marius suddenly became scared.
"Cosette tell me what happened. Cosette shook her head and continued to sob.
"Papa told me that I can't go on the quest..." Marius held her tighter. He knew that Valjean was over protective but would he really keep her from going on this journey with them? Marius was speechless.
"Cosette... Please don't cry... everything will be okay..."
"Don't lie to me Marius. He doesn't even trust me!" Marius was still speechless. What was he supposed to say?! He knew that she was right. It hurt his heart to see her like this. He wanted to protect her as much as he could but Valjean probably does not even want him around her.
Cosette soon lifted her head. She then escaped the embrace and left out of the door. Marius called after her but she showed no sign of attention.
Eponine
She shoved her meager belongings into the camp half-blood bag they had given her when she first arrived. She shoved her black hoodie in her bag and pulled her tan jacket around her.
"What are you doing?" Azelma asked as she walked into the cabin.
"Packing."
"For what?" Shit she hadn't told her.
"I'm going on a quest but don't worry I'll be back soon." She assured her.
"A quest?"
"Yeah with Enjolras and his friends."
Her sister raised an eyebrow. "Enjolras huh? I always knew you two had something going on."
"What?" Eponine's eyes widened. Why on earth would her sister think that?
"Don't even bother denying it. I can see it."
"How?" She had meant to deny but she wanted to know why her sister thought that.
"I can see it in your eyes when you look at him and when he looks at you. You've never looked at anyone like that not even that Marius guy."
"How do you-"
"I know you. Better than anyone else in the world." Before Eponine could say anything else her sister hugged her. "I love you. Have fun on your quest." Eponine nodded.
"Thanks." Azelma smiled and skipped away leaving Eponine confused.
So how did you like the little Azelma bit? I know a lot of you are big fans of her and Gavroche.
