The water called out to her, because nobody else ever had.

Look down... Look down...

The Seine seemed darker, colder, more threatening from under the bridge.

Black, the colour of despair...

Shivering, she crouched next to the bank, hugging her coat around her shoulders.

In her life... no one had ever offered her a heart full of love.

And so her heart was empty. Empty and cold.

All alone... She was on her own now.

The dark waters filled her gaze. She imagined the air leaving her lungs and the darkness closing in. She smiled. Yes, it would be easy to let go.

It will feel like nothing more than a little fall of rain... it couldn't hurt her now.

Her fingers skimmed the surface, and a frozen feeling crept through her bones. She couldn't do it. It was too cold.
Backing up, she pressed her back against the bottom of the bridge. No, she would stay here.

Who was she?

Eponine.

So... I am obsessed with Les Mis right now, more specifically Eponine. So this came out in my journal last night. Littered with lyrics from the musical. :)

This isn't really fanfiction, because this actually happened in the book. Only, it's never written, Eponine only talks about it. So I thought it would be cool to write it, sort of like how William Golding wrote his own reunion scene for The Princess Bride, when Morgenstern didn't. When I read that book, I almost sent the letter asking for his reunion scene, until I read the end of the book where he talks about how he was sorry to all the people who sent the letter because it turns out, he wasn't allowed to send it. Big disappointment there. Anyways I want to work more on this, but this is what I have so far.

I love that Eponine is also called "A Rose in Misery." It defines her perfectly. And it sounds pretty. :D

This is cool. :) Thanks for sharing it.

I believe the backstory of Morgenstern being the author is actually fiction, to create a sort of story-within-a-story.
