Disclaimer: I don't own any of the les Miserables. I would like to dedicate this story to my best friend Rachel who helped me a lot along the way. Her pen name on fan fiction is Sandra Athrenael.

Cosette looked down at her feet as she as about to go inside and saw her fathers gold pocket watch at her feet. She quickly picked it up and tried to catch with the coach. She had run about a block when she gave up. She would just give it back to her father when he got home. She pocketed the watch and headed home. She was about nine feet away from her house when she heard a gun shot and felt an extremely sharp pain in her arm. She fell to her knees but was still conscious. She placed her hand on the wound and gripped it to stifle the bleeding. Just then she heard another gun shot and it all went black.

(Meanwhile at the café)

"Marius, wait a minute," called Eponine coming over to him, are you going over to Cosette's?" Marius nodded, "is it alright if I come with you. There is something that I want to talk to her about."

"Sure"

As they rounded the coroner they saw a lone figure lying on the ground. As they walked closer to the figure they found that it was Cosette drenched in blood.

"Oh my god!" muttered Eponine.

"Let's get her in the house." Said Marius lifting her up, luckily the door was open. Once inside Marius carried Cosette up to her bedroom and lay her down on her canopy bed. He then picked up her wrist and checked for a pulse. To his relief he felt that she had one.

"Dose she have a pulse." Asked Eponine coming over to the bed

"Ya, but she is cold as ice."

"Alright, we're going to need some warm blankets, a bole of warm water, and a cloth." Marius nodded and set off to find the materials. When Marius came back with the materials he saw that Eponine had already bandaged up Cosette's arm and changed her into a nightgown.
