The rain patted softly on the pavement. The moon shining down on it, making it look like silver. The trees glowing in the starlight. The stars, misty in the river. The buildings, silent in the night.

     Éponine walked down the path. Her hair was wet with rain water. Her skin moist, and her body cold. Her outfit was all wet from being in the rain for so long.

    As she walked, she thought about Marius. He was probably getting ready for battle, with one person on his mind; Cosette. Though Éponine new Marius loved Cosette, that didn't stop her from imaging that he love her.

    She began to imagine...

      Marius was standing next to Éponine. They held hands in to moonlight. Though the rain poured down, that didn't stop them from spending time outside. They were in love. It was plain and simple. They had said they loved each other many times, and weren't hesitant about it. They were in love as simple as that.

    Éponine opened her eyes. She new that scene could never be true...mabie for Cosette, but never for her. Marius didn't love her. And no matter how much she imagined, all her life she will only be pretending.

A\N short, but I liked it. Happy Reading!
