Chapter 9- Capital R and The Insurrection.
A/N: This Chapter as well as the next are very depressing but don't worry things will be looking up but then come crashing down again... Can you tell what kind of a mood that I have been in recently? Grantaire does not pass out drunk in this chapter. There is very strong Eponine/Grantaire. I do not own Les Miserables.
(The Mild-mannered Grantaire bids his beloved fiancée farewell as he leaves to his impending doom.)
Eponine threw her arms around Grantaire and sobbed. "Don't go, Grantaire... What if you get shot?"
(The Mild-mannered Grantaire leaves towards the barricades. "Goodbye," Hat Girl cries.)
Eponine felt a tear come to her eye as she whispered, "I love you."
(The Mild Mannered Grantaire arrives at the barricade with carbine in hand. He stares out into the oblivion. Will he ever see his beloved Hat Girl again?)
"Grantaire! Get off of Lesgles and get your gun away from his head and help with building the barricade!" Bahorel yelled at Grantaire who was standing on Lesgles (who had tripped and fallen) while his gun was pointed downward to the head of the bald man who was praying that Grantaire would not pull the trigger.
Meanwhile, Eponine stared at her ring. She felt a feeling that she had never thought she would feel for Grantaire. What if Grantaire was killed? Eponine decided she would go to the barricade. She ran down the street when she was stopped by Cosette.
"Would you take this letter to Marius for me?" Cosette asked. "He is at the barricade on the Rue de Chavenrie.
Half of Eponine wanted to say, "Heck no! Deliver it yourself." But Eponine was headed to the barricade anyway. She took the letter and ran. She searched for about fifteen minutes until she saw the barricade.
"There it is! And there's my Grantaire," Eponine said. "Who's about to get shot!" She cried as she saw a man aim at him. "I'm coming, Grantaire!"
Eponine ran to the soldier and realized that there was no way to distract him. She stood in front of the gun and put her hand on the barrel. "No! I won't let you-"She cried.
Her cry was cut short as the bang was heard and the bullet ripped through her hand and plunged through her chest. She cried out.
Meanwhile, Grantaire was drinking brandy and enjoying himself. Joly was checking his tongue in the mirror.
"Come on Joly! You're not sick! Drink with me!"
"I amb thick!" Joly said.
Grantaire's joy was broken by a loud scream. Grantaire suddenly became very afraid. He recognized the scream... very well.
"Go see what that was, Joly," Enjolras said.
Joly scaled the barricade and Saw Eponine trying to climb. He saw the blood streaming from her hand and back. "Someone's climbing the barricade! I think it's that girl Grantaire always drags around."
All that Grantaire could think as his heart broke in two was, "Eponine... No..."
