The last thing Eponine wanted was to go home, to go home to her father who would be very upset with her for almost getting them caught by the police. She walked around until something caught her eye, the golden curls of the girl whom Marius loved. She was in the gated garden belonging to the House one the Rue Plumet. Eponine's eyes met the beautiful blue eyes of the lark. The two exchanged glances of understanding, understanding of the past they shared. Eponine saw pitty in the girl's eyes and Eponine laughed out loud.

"I don't need your pity Mademoiselle." Eponine spat. The girl only lowered her eyes to her garden. "I'm free and she's not so I'm glad." Thought Eponine. But really she wasn't free and she knew it. The lark had flown to a beautiful garden with a Papa who loved her, and Eponine, the daughter of the wolf could only run so far until there was no more land to run on. Eponine disappeared into the shadows to find Marius. How happy with her he would be now that she's found this little lark for him. How proud he would be! Eponine thought about how he would embrace her with thanks. How nice that would be!

"Marius!" She said running into the café, "I found her! I found the girl for you!" She said this like a proud child who had received their first good grade on a test. Eponine accidently made eye contact with Enjolras, who looked at her with sad grey eyes shaking his head, but she looked away. She knew he disapproved of love, and he was probably upset with her for helping Marius find his.

"Oh Eponine take me to her! Take me to her now! Oh Eponine I knew you could do it! You're so smart with things like this. Really there's no one who knows their way around better than you." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the café.

Eponine blushed at the touch of his hand to hers. Enjolras watched this whole thing with sad eyes. This poor girl, she was in love with him it was obvious. She spoke tough to everyone else except Marius, when she spoke to him she tried to make her raspy voice sweet and innocent like a lady. This is why Enjolras refused to fall in love. You change yourself for people and he had a fight for his country to worry about.

Eponine lead Marius to the garden, praying the girl would not be there, praying he would have to find his way another day, and maybe even get lost. But Cosette was still in the garden, and Marius ran to the gate and climbed inside.

"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." She heard him tell her. Eponine was almost so wallowed in self pity she almost didn't see Montparnasse coming out of the shadows.

"Parnasse what are you doing here!" She asked, trying to stay calm. If they robbed this house they would hurt anyone who got in the way. Including Marius.

"Ay Ponine. This is the house of the man who got away, the one from they other day. Were gunna show 'im who's boss" Montparnasse said with a wink.

Eponine then saw her father coming from behind Montparnasse and her blood ran cold. "Papa no! Not this house there's nothing here. You're wasting your time. You can go home really. There are better things to do."

"Eponine go home you're in the way." He snapped back at her.

Eponine felt Montparnasse grab her arm and throw her on the ground. Now she was desperate. "I'll scream! I'll warn them! They cops will come and arrest you all. I'm not scared of any of you." She snarled.

"Do that missy and you'll be sorry" her father, Thenardier, said, the other members of the gang were picking the lock on the big iron gate already.

"I tried to warn you I really did. I told you I'd do it I told you." She said before she let out a blood curdling scream.

"Everyone clear away, I'll take care of the brat." Thenardier said frantically, slamming Eponine against the wall. "As for you missy, I wouldn't come home tonight if I were you. After hitting her one last time, and hearing her whimper to his satisfaction, Thenardier disappeared into the shadows with the others, leaving Eponine alone once again.

"Eponine you saved the day! Cosette this is my friend Eponine! She saved us with her scream." Marius said still holding Cosette.

"Glad I could help" Eponine said coolly before walking away. She was alone now. This was how she liked it she told herself. No one to answer to no one to tell her no-no one to love her. Just then it began raining. She liked the rain too. She liked walking in it because she felt it cleaned the dirt and grime off her skin. She walked past the café and thought about going in, maybe taking a drink or two, but she didn't. She belonged outside, alone and unloved. Just like a common stray dog, because that's all she was anyways. She watched as Courfeyrac laughed with Gavroche, and Grantaire drink a whole bottle of wine in one chug and she smiled. It was almost comforting to know the word didn't need her. The rain could make the flowers grow without her.

What Eponine didn't know was Enjolras was watching her from the window of the café. He looked at her and he almost could swear he saw a tear roll down her face, but who knows, maybe it was just the rain.

Sorry it's kinda short but I wanted like a nice cliffhanger and I thought this was a good place to end. Lemme know what you think :)
