A/N: Wow! Reviews! Not something I was expecting, but thank you! A nice pleasant surprise before going back to work. As a treat I'll try to put up the next two parts tonight, and part 5 Sat/Sun. After that updates will be slower as I'll actually have to write new material. Oh and chicketieboo, you should find out who the little girl is in Part 5. ^_^
---------------------------------------------------------------
It was in the valley of Queyras where she first heard his voice. She had been out searching for some food, when she returned she noticed that the boy wasn't in the cage. A bit fearful for what might be happening, she went in search for him. She found him, along with Javert, behind the camp, in a field filled with wild flowers of all sorts. When she had managed to sneak close enough to hear, and not be seen, the boy was demanding clean clothes. The girl was hiding behind a medium sized oak tree. Javert just laughed and sneered at the boy, but the boy turned to Javert with a look of determination and desperation in his eyes. The boy said something to Javert, but the girl was unable to hear. Then Javert drew the boy closer, but seemed more amused than anything. He was talking to the boy, asking how the boy could possibly draw a larger crowd. She did not hear what the boy said in response, but whatever it was made Javert laugh.
Then the wild daffodils started to sing. The clear voice that seemed to take control of her senses caught her off guard, she barely noticed that Javert had picked the flower, threw it to the ground and was walking towards her. Noticing him, she quickly attempted to climb the tree. Luckily for her, Javert turned away and she was able to scramble up the tree unseen. Javert returned to the boy and realized that it was the boy that was singing. When Javert started to get excited, the boy stopped singing. It took awhile for Javert to realize it, but when he did and the boy told him why, Javert got mad. The boy, however, knew Javert wouldn't harm him, he just smiled as Javert picked him up and threatened to slit his throat.
The boy sat down in the grass, glanced up at her, then looked back down at the grass with complete indifference. After he watched Javert get a bit nervous, he started talking about what he wanted. He refused to sing without a mask, and he wanted his own tent. Javert wasn't sure he could trust the boy to stay, but the boy convinced him because he had no place to go. Javert almost agreed to that, but then pointed out what was the point of a coffin and lilies if the boy wore a mask the whole time. The boy thought about that and finally agreed to remove the mask at the end of the performance. Javert conceded and for that moment the girl could see that the boy had won a victory.
