Eponine

Two years later, I had learned eveyone's name and now lived with Gavroche in the elephant. He taught me the ways of being a gamin and I became the mother of his 'children', kids we had found on the streets. The only person I had not met was Gavroche's sister, Eponine. I had only heard about her threw Gavroche. From what I'd heard she was a lovely woman, even if her father forced her to steal. I was asleep in the elephant when I was woken up by Gavroche shaking me awake.

"What is it, Gavroche?," I asked.

He replied excitedly," Eponine! She's out in the square! You can finally meet 'er! Come on!" I was wide awake by that point. I quickly got dressed and ran out with Gavroche. Finally we made it to the square.

Gavroche pointed," That's 'er!" I looked and saw her. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen next to Seraina. Eponine had black, unclean hair that went to her shoulders and had a hat not unlike her brother's. I stopped, suddenly nervous.

"'Ey, what's wrong?," Gavroche asked softly.

I whispered," What if she doesn't like me?"

He took my hand and said," Don't worry. She'll love you."

He led me over to where Eponine was and yelled," 'Ey, Eponine! There's someone I want you to meet." She smiled at me and leaned down 'till she was eye level with me.

She asked, " And wot's your name?"

I responded," Saterine. Gavroche found me on the streets and I've stayed with him ever since. He's my best friend."

She replied," Is that so? Well, I'm glad Gavroche saved you. I didn't think he could ever do anything that kind."

Gavroche yelled,"Oi! I couldn't just leave 'er there! She could've gotten 'urt or worse!"

I said teasingly," It's nice to know you care, Gav."

He blushed and said," Of course I do! You're my best friend!"

Eponine laughed and said," It seems my little brother has a little crush."

Gavroche and I both blushed and said," WHAT!? NO!"

She just laughed and said," I was just joking. No need to get defensive. Well, Gav, 'Tine, I need to go or Father will beat me more than usual."

Gavroche said," Why don't you just leave and live in the elephant?"

Eponine sighed and said," You know I can't. He'll find me."

Gavroche looked sad and muttered," I know..."

Eponine said," 'Ey, look at me. I'll leave 'im someday and I'll take you and Saterine with me. OK?"

He asked softly," Promise?"

She smiled and said," Promise."

As we walked to the cafe to meet Enjolras and the others, I asked," 'Tine? What was that all about?"

Gavroche responded," Oh, that? That's your new nickname. That means she like's you." I smiled and kept walking.

Gav suddenly asked," Saterine? If I were to leave, would you follow me?"

I responded," Everyday."
