Thenardier

One year later, the students had decided they were going to start a revolution and had declared Enjolras and Seraina thier leaders. Gavroche and I were gathering the people and spreading the word. Gavroche had told me that Eponine had told her father and his gang about it, but they didn't care about it. Gavroche told me about Monsuir Thenardier and he was the one person I didn't want to meet. From what I'd heard, he was mean, a cheater, a thief, a coward, and abusive. I stayed away from where he usually snuck around while Gavroche would go instead. But one day, Gavroche and I were walking through the streets, looking for something to eat, when suddenly a hand clamped over my mouth and I was pushed back against a wall.

I struggled against the person as a sinister voice said,"Well, look what we have here! A young girl hanging around my son. Well, I can't let him have all the fun, can I?" Thenardier! I began struggling even more once I realized what he was going to do to me.

He slapped me and said," Stop, now, or it'll hurt more than should." He lifted up the hem of my dirty dress as tears started falling from my eyes, too weak to stop him. Just then, somebody punched him to the ground, forcing him to let go of me. I fell to my knees as Gavroche came to my side. I leaned against him as the tears fell. He just held me and whisper,"It's alright, you're safe now, no one's going to hurt you." I looked up and that the person who freed me was none other than Enjolras. He was kicking and punching Thenardier without giving him a chance to defend himself.

Gavroche said," Come on, Saterine. Enjolras 'as things covered here." I let him lead me to the cafe. Once we got there I was attacked in hug by Seraina and Grantaire.

"Thank goodness you're alright! When Gavroche ran in screaming about how you'd been kidnapped I didn't know what to think," Seraina said.

Grantaire, completely sober, said," You and Gavroche are staying here tonight. Thenardier could try again on your way home." I nodded, not wanting to go outside anyway. Enjolras came in looking tired and came up to me.

He hugged me tightly and said," If he ever bothers you again, tell me. I will take care of it."

I whispered," Thank you." Gavroche led me away from everyone and took me to the room I'd be staying in. He turned to go but I stopped him.

"Please stay with me," I pleaded.

Gavroche answered," Everyday."


Whew! That was close! Yay for Gavroche and Enjolras! And aww, Gavroche said Saterine's normal line. Hint he loves her? Maybe. Review and you'll find out eventually. Seriously, I haven't gotten one review. That makes me sad.:( See what you did!
