Epilogue: Forever Yours:

The following morning, Eponine was hesitant on opening her eyes. She feared if she did, that everything that had happened would be nothing more then a mere dream. However, she opened her eyes slowly and she found herself in her bed. She got up, and dressed for the day. She smiled when she saw the mask she wore the previous night was upon her pillow.

Eponine picked it up and she could not help but laugh to herself. All this time, she wanted to sought out Marius, and win his hear. She didn't know that another was waiting for her.

"Enjolras..."

Eponine closed her eyes, and she remembered the kiss the two shared under the stars. As she reopened her eyes, thoughts of Enjolras faded, and the thoughts of Erik re-entered her mind. She looked up at the ceiling. Eponine didn't know what she was going to do, or say to him. He had been so helpfull these last few days.

Eponine put down the mask, and dashed up to the attic to find the Phantom. She removed the lose boards, and was surprised to find that Erik was not there. "Erik..." she called out. "Erik..."

The young Thenadier looked about, and found a lette lying upon the floor. She picked it up, opened it, and read it:

My dearest Eponine:

I hope, from the bottom of your heart that you can forgive the cruel things I have said to you. I went to the masqurade last night to find you, but I found that you did not need my help. Love was right in front of you all along. Do not be afraid to open yourself to him. I told you that you would find love, and you have. I am so happy for you. I am sorry I can not be with you now, the Angel of Music fullfilled his duty and now I must move on. Do not worry about me, I am in caring hands. I shall never foget you. You helped me when no one would not. I hope that one day we will cross paths once again, until then...

I remain forever yours,

O.G.

Eponine wiped away the tears that were forming in her eyes. She closed up the letter and placed it against her heart. She did forgive him, she just prayed that he would forgive her. By the way, the note sounded, he did. Eponine, like Erik hoped they would cross paths again.

As Eponine put the letter away, safely in her pocket, she took one last look of the room. She could still feel Erik's presence all around her. He had stated in the letter that he was in loving hands. Eponine guessed that the Madame and her daughter found and took them within their care. Eponine slowly stepped back into the attic. She closed off the entrance once again. Eponine doubted she would return to that room. The room had been occupied by a kind mind whom she would never forget.

Eponine finally made her way down to the Inn. The sadness washed away when she saw Enjolras. Enjolras smiled at her. Eponine walked up to him. Enjolras could see that she was upset.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm happy, that's all."

Enjolras took her into his arms and was about to kiss her, but Eponine stopped him. "No. They'll see."

Enjolras turned around to find Eponine's parents glaring her. He turned about around to her, and said: "Come away with me 'Ponine."

Eponine was shocked at his request. "What?"

"You heard me." replied Enjolras. "Come, leave this awful place, and live with me."

Eponine smiled. Enjolras had gotten his answer. He picked her up in his arms and swrilled her about. When she was back on her feet, he brushed his lips against her's.

Master Thenadier was not happy at the sight he saw before him. He stormed over and pulled the two apart. "'Nough snoggin'! Get back to work!"

"You will not harm her ever again." Enjolras said to the Master. Enjolras began to raise his fist.

"No Enjolras. He is not worth it."

Enjolras relaxed, and once again took Eponine's hand into his. He lead her out of the Inn. Now it was the Madame's turn to interfer. She dashed towards them. "And where do you think you're goin'?"

"You have never worried about her before, why should you care now?" Enjolras spat at them.

"Eponine, you little prat don't you think about leaving!" yelled the Master.

"Goodbye momma, 'bye da'."

As Eponine left with Enjolras, she could feel the warm sun upon her face. Her childhood had been a wicked one indeed. However, she figured that at some point, she must have done something, for Enjolras was leading her out of the darkness, and into a safe warm place where she would forever be loved.
