Eponine was awakened by people yelling. She noticed that she felt weaker than ever. She looked at her
surroundings and saw that she was in her parents room.
" She is going to die! You said it yourself! " she heard her father yell.
" That doesn't mean that you shouldn't send for a doctor! She needs some help! " Valjean screamed back.
" It would be pointless to send for a doctor when she will die anyway! " Thenardier replied.
The more Eponine listened, the more she knew that her father was right. She was going to die. She knew that it would be any minute now. She knew that she would be better off being dead. ' its so cold in here' she thought as she pulled a blanket over herself and fell into darkness.
15 minutes later.......
Cosette walked into the room to check on 'ponine. She went over to the bed and pulled the blanket off.
Eponine was asleep. Cosette felt the girls forehead. Her body was cold! Cosette ran out of the room to tell
her father.
" Shes cold! Shes dead, papa!" Cosette said.
Jean Valjean walked into the room. Eponine was sitting up on the side of the bed. She was glaring at
him.
" What is all the shouting for?" she asked.
" Nothing." replied valjean as he walked out the room to talk to Cosette.
" Cosette. Calm down. Shes not dead. she was probably just sleeping." said valjean. he brought Cosette
into the room.
" I'm hungry. Tell Marius that I went off to catch my dinner." eponine said as she shoved past them
and went out the door.
