Ok, a bit more of a tragic chapter, also introduces a few more characters. I know Enjolras is meant to be the marble man but maybe love changes him? I don't know, have a read and tell me what you think.
Later that night Belle had left Eponine sleeping covered by a blanket one of the students named Grantaire had given her after Enjolras had left, he smelt of booze and seemed drunk out of his mind but who was she to be picky over company?
She clung to the jacket Enjolras had given her; it still smelt of him, it comforted her, just like his kiss had. But she knew they could not be, no matter how much either of them wanted it, and they were from different worlds. Just then she felt a rough hand push her up against the cold stone wall, "how much do you cost?" a voice whispered in her ear, "no monsieur I do not sell myself for money" She said worriedly trying to get away from him. "That's a shame" he whispered cruelly, he kissed her on the lips, she tried to push him away but he was much stronger than her, "please monsieur" she whispered, he kissed down her neck, this gave her chance to shout "Eponine, Eponine help!" "you shouldn't have done that you little slut" he said angrily, his fist hit her hard in the face she cried out in pain, he then kicked her hard in the ribs, she felt for sure there was no way at least one of them wasn't broken. She then felt something sharp enter her side. She looked down to see the man pulling a blood stained knife out of her side. Just then someone pulled the man off her, and pull her off the floor.
"Monsieur please let me ago, I've done no wrong" she cried out, the pain she felt was almost unbearable, "Belle its ok, I'm not going to hurt you" Enjolras whispered, knowing he was holding her took the pain away "Enjolras" she whispered. He pulled her closer into him and she winced loudly in pain, he looked down to see his hand and her shirt were covered with blood. "Oh god, he must have stabbed you" Enjolras said worriedly, "Don't you fret monsieur, you're here, to die by your side would be a heavenly way to die" Belle said trying to reassure him, "you're not going to die, I won't let you die, I can't lose you, I've only just found you" Enjolras cried, tears were now running down his face. Seeing him cry was strange, watching tears roll down his perfect face looked unnatural. "Don't cry monsieur" Belle said soothingly. "Joly! Joly!" Enjolras shouted, they weren't too far away from the ABC Café hopefully someone would hear him. "Enjolras I – I …" before she could finish the sentence she passed out her body going limp in Enjolras's arms.
-The ABC Café-
"Where's Enjolras? He's never late" Marius thought aloud next to him. "Maybe he's drunk" Grantaire mumbled from behind the bar, "Grantaire no one else has the chance to be drunk, with the amount you drink" Joly joked. "Someone has to keep the revolution jolly, Joly" Grantaire giggled to himself, "very witty" Joly replied. "Did you hear that?" Marius asked. "No" Courferyac replied. "It was someone shouting, it sounded like Enjolras" Marius explained. "Everyone shut up" Joly ordered. Silence rang through the Cafe. When suddenly a shout came "Joly, Joly" this time everyone heard it. Joly sprung to his feet "Marius come with me" Joly said, Marius got to his feet along with Courferyac running towards the shouts.
When they had reached Enjolras they saw him clinging to a lifeless body tears rolling down his cheeks. "Enjolras what happened?" Joly asked worriedly, never seeing his friend in this state before. "She got stabbed, and she's passed out, Joly you have to help her please." Enjolras sobbed. "I need light, and somewhere clean, the Café is the closest, Marius you take her, Enjolras maybe you should go get some sleep" Joly ordered, "no, I want to be the one to do it" Enjolras said surely, getting to his feet slowly and walking in the direction of the Café.
Please leave a review if you like it! I promise Enjolras won't be this soppy all the way through. Also what do you think of maybe exploring the Marius/Cosette/Eponine relationship? Maybe having Eponine fall for Grantaire? As he helps mend her broken heart? Tell me what you think?
