Chapter 8: Cosette, Part 2
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE!
Disclaimer: I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir or anything associated with it. I only own Allison, Efa, Henry and any other things associated with her. Also, as this chapter would be based on the 2012 movie, Les Miserables, it is my unfortunate duty to inform you that I am not associated with it. If I was, Eddie Redmayne would be married to me instead.
If you see something that looks like this, it means that whoever the character was, they were thinking. It's be stated.
If it looks like this, they were singing... or sing-talking. (Their initials would be stated at the side to be clear.)
Chat Noir barely held himself together as he walked towards Ladybug, who looked at him in confusion.
"Where's Phoenix?"
"Hit by the beam, like the rest of the people around."
Ladybug shot him a sympathetic glance as he looked at Allison, who bit her lip and questioned everyone she ran past.
AM: Excuse me, monsieur! Have you seen Marius, monsieur?
"She's looking for Marius." Ladybug said. "That means she's looking for Adrien."
"I kept him somewhere safe." Chat Noir said grimly. "Cosette was looking for her Marius."
"Then we need to find Cosette."
Cosette walked around with a strangely proud face.
She kept on zapping random people, turning them to different types of 1832 French People.
Elites, Revolutionaries, Students, everyone.
She was also delighted by Allison Martin, the girl who snatched the heart of the boy she loved.
Not anymore, she thought with a laugh.
"Once I find Adrien, my Marius, Allison Martin shall be no more than a useless Eponine." Cosette muttered to herself.
Allison walked around, and stopping in the middle of the crowd with a sigh.
"Goodness, where on earth is he?"
Cosette turned around and raised an eyebrow at Allison.
"Who?"
AM: Sorry to disturb you, ma'am. I mean you no harm, but have you seen my Marius?
Cosette looked enraged.
Cosette: Your Marius? What does he look like?
AM: Fairly tall, Mademoiselle. Eyes, warm and bright, the color of the forest. His hair as radiant as the sun. His smile lights up my whole day. He's been gone, though, for a while.
Before Cosette could answer, her eyes drifted to Chat Noir who looked ready to melt at Allison's words.
Ladybug landed next to Cosette and attacked her.
Allison's eyes widened as Chat Noir appeared and pulled her away gently.
"Just go. Marius'll be at the barricades."
"How can I trust you, Monsieur?"
"Just do."
Allison looked at him and started to walk to the barricades.
"Where are the barricades?" Chat whispered under his breath and shook his head as he walked closer to Ladybug. "What do we do?"
"Where's the akuma?" Ladybug huffed as she held Cosette to the ground.
Cosette giggled. "You'll never find it!"
Chat cursed as they heard a faint song.
A lot of people: Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men?
"Oh no." Ladybug said.
"It's the revolution." Chat groaned as he glared at Cosette. "I'm getting my girlfriend back, even if you try to stop me."
Cosette only grinned as the revolution appeared behind Cosette.
"You see," Cosette started. "aside from making my dreams come true, they also heed my every order."
Chat Noir and Ladybug froze in their places as the revolution pointed their guns at the two.
Allison ran forward, pushing Ivan out of the way.
"Enjorlas, stop!"
Ivan-Enjorlas: Eponine, go back to behind the barricades and wait for Marius.
"Wait, no," Allison said.
Ivan: Eponine, do as I say. Marius entrusted you to me.
AM: Enjorlas, I know these people, I beg you. Don't harm the Monsieur and the Mademoiselle.
Ivan: They're hurting Marius' love. That's the only reason you don't want them hurt!
AM: Enjorlas, I-
Before Allison could utter another word, she was dragged to the back of the revoution and back to the barricades.
Chat and Ladybug managed to escape the revolution and the triumphant Cosette.
"What could be her akumatized object?" Ladybug muttered.
"Her locket!"
Ladybug turned around and looked at Chat Noir in confusion.
"When she went into the dressing room to sulk after Chloe fought with her," Cat explained. "she was clutching on her locket."
"Of course." Ladybug realized. "She released her frustrations on that locket, so that must've been the akumatized object.
"I'll check on Adrien and others, you go on." Chat suggested, desperate to see Allison.
Ladybug raised an eyebrow at him but nodded. "Just do it fast."
Adrien was surprised to find himself on top of the barricade, taking on the full role of Marius.
He had to blend in, anyway.
The rain poured heavily on him as he held onto a torch nervously.
AA: I'll blow this barricade!
The soldiers shouted protests.
"You wouldn't dare!"
He was surprised to see Allison appear behind him, and a bang of a gun was heard.
He glanced up to see Ladybug looking at him and beside him with wide eyes.
He slowly set the torch down to the gunpowder before Ivan and the others dragged him away.
Ladybug landed to him.
"Adrien!" Ladybug called.
"Not now, Ladybug." Adrien replied hastily, running over to Allison who bit her lip.
She gave him a note, breathing heavily.
"Here's a letter from Cosette, I kept it from you." Allison said. "I'm sorry."
Adrien threw the letter away and panicked over Allison's gunshot wound.
Allison only smiled at him.
Ladybug started to sob, for she knew what was about to happen to her best friend.
AM: Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius. I don't feel any pain.
Adrien looked at her in disbelief.
AM: A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now.
Allison took his hand and put it against her cheek.
AM: Your here, and that's all I need to know.
Ladybug held a hand to her mouth as Adrien started to sob.
AM: That you will keep me safe, and you will keep me close...
Allison's voice was starting to fade as she slowly closed her eyes.
AM: and rain will make the flower grow.
Adrien shook her in his arms as he smiled over at her, rain soaking the both of them.
AA: You will live, 'Ponine. Dear God above, if I could close your wounds with words of love.
Allison gave him a weak laugh and closed her eyes.
AM: Just hold me now, and let it be. Shelter me, Comfort me.
Allison opened her eyes and smiled over at him one last time.
AM: Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius.
Adrien stuttered over the next lines, trying to keep up without breaking down.
AN&AA: I/You Don't feel any pain. A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me/you now.
He smiled sadly and pulled her closer.
AA: I'm here.
AM: That's all I need to know.
Adrien stroked Allison's face.
AM: And you will keep me safe,
AA: And I will stay with you,
AM: And you will keep me close.
AA: Until you are sleeping.
Allison, once again, started to close her eyes.
AM: And rain.
AA: And rain.
AM: Will make the flowers.
AA: Will make the flowers.
Allison closed her eyes and went limp as Adrien touched their foreheads together.
Adrien kissed her forehead.
"Grow."
Adrien ran away after Ivan and the others took Allison's body.
Ladybug would've followed him if she didn't spot Cosette smirking over Allison's death.
"You just killed someone." Ladybug growled over at Cosette.
"I'm killing her." Chat suddenly said, appearing behind Cosette with blazing eyes.
"You are just like Phoenix."
"Phoenix? Phoenix got killed a few minutes ago during..." Chat stopped, afraid of revealing her identity. "before the barricades, during the riots."
Ladybug's eyes widened in horror and she swerved her head to Cosette.
"This has to stop."
"Never."
"Lucky Charm!"
Ladybug shot her yoyo to the sky, surprised when all it gave her was a slingshot.
"A slingshot?"
"Shoot her in the back of the head." Chat said gruffly.
Ladybug shot him a look as she surveyed her surroundings, finding out that he was right.
"Cosette's frail and fragile, anyway." Chat said as he gave Ladybug a stray rock.
Ladybug shot the rock over to Cosette, hitting her perfectly.
"Quite ironic how the most destructive villain we've ever faced turned out to be one of the easiest to defeat."
"She attacked us on emotion." Chat said as he walked forward and roughly yanked the necklace off Cosette's neck. "I will never erase the sight of my girlfriend getting shot in my head."
Cosette yelped as Chat smashed his heel onto her locket, releasing the akuma.
Ladybug de-evilized and restored everything.
Chat immediately bid his goodbyes, saying that he needed to find Phoenix.
Ladybug just let him, giving the locket to Maxine wordlessly before swinign away to detransform.
Allison sat up, rubbing her forehead. "What just happened?"
"Ally!"
Allison turned around, grinning at Adrien who was running towards her.
She slowly stood up.
"Hey, Aids-"
Allison was shocked when Adrien immediately seized her face and crashed his lips on hers.
She immediately responded, but pulled away.
"What's wrong?"
"I just-" Adrien shook his head. "You were Eponine and you were shot in front of me, for me. I-"
"I'm here." Allison shushed Adrien, pressing a small kiss on his lips.
"Just..." Adrien started. "Don't die on me anymore, alright?"
"That's my line."
A lot of her classmates flooded around her as well, asking her if she was fine.
She just gave a small nod, cuddling close to Adrien who refused to let go of her.
Marinette walked over to her. "So, you and him?"
"Yeah." Allison laughed silently. "Is that okay?"
"Why wouldn't it be?" Marinette rolled her eyes. "It's not okay for Chloe, though."
The three teens faced the blonde who stomped away.
"I gotta check on Alya." Marinette said, hugging Allison and walking away.
Allison leaned back on Adrien with a small contented hum.
Adrien kissed the top of her head with a small smile.
"Never leave me, Phoenix."
"I promise, Chat."
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I have no idea what I just wrote.
This is so weird.
Don't expect Original Chapters ever again.
I lack sleep.
Anyway, I'm currently making a Harry Potter series.
I immediately updated this because... well, early apology?
This being said, I may not update again (for this story) for about 2-3 weeks.

Thanks and Bye 3
