The invisible bruises

Warning -mild to serious violence may appear in this chapter . I will understand if anybody has any issues with this and I will take all feedback positive or negative into account

Eponine POV
His bruises covered his beautiful face and his usually perfect hair was tussed all over. I called out to him but he didn't seem to hear me. He seemed to be flitting in. and out of consciousness.

I longed to be near him, tell him we could get out of here . But I was shackled to the opposite wall. A short while later he awoke, the agony clear on his face as he called out in pain. " EPONINE! " he screamed "eponine where are you? "

I was too shocked by his pain at first to speak, but eventually words came to me. "Enj, I'm here over on the opposite wall. Oh enjorlas, what did they do to you?! "

He groaned in pain "Ep, I don't remember. One minute we were at the hospital, but then I find myself here looking at you, but I can't reach you. Ep, I'm scared. I don't know what they are going to do but we need to get out. "

But papa bursts in before we can say anymore. He sways slightly before storming over to me and slapping my cheek. I bite my lip so I won't cry but he begins to kick my abdomen. Enjorlas watches in horror, the anger and hatred evident on his face. Cold tears run down his face as he tries to release himself. I scream in agony as Papa stomps on my bare feet and fingers with his massive boots. Eventually he grows bored of my pain and stumbles away. But Enjorlas stops him in his tracks by threatening him " thenardier, you won't get away with this! "

My father snaps and stomps towards Enjorlas . He swings and I hear his fist collide with enjorlas' jaw with a crack. Several punches and kicks to his chest leave enjorlas sprawled lifeless on the floor, with only his arms suspended above him due to the shackles that bind him to the wall. Papa leaves shortly afterwards slamming the door and locking us in. I want to scream and wail but I am petrified that he'll come back and do something worse, like kill us. A sudden drowsiness takes over me. He's managed somehow to inject me with some sort of sedative. I don't understand how but the darkness soon comes.

When I wake up, the chains are gone and I begin to feel hope. But then I remember who brought me here and what he could do. As fast as I possibly am able to, I rush over to Enjorlas' still limp body . His chains have been replaced by rope and I assume this is because they knew he'd find a way out anyway. I check his pulse, and thankfully it's still there. I attempt to shake him awake, but his eyes refuse to open. In despair, I attempt to untie his hands , but the knot won't budge. I get so frustrated, I don't even notice any water until I am waist deep in it. I jump up in shock, but then begin to panic. Enj is still slumped over and his face is nearly submerged by the water. Thinking quickly, I grab him from under the armpits. He turns out to be heavier than I expected, but I manage to lift his face up out of the water for now. As I struggle to support him in the rapidly rising water he groggily comes to. His face is petrified and confused, but soon relaxes a bit when he sees my face instead of Montpannarse or thenardier. Soon he has completely come to, and notices the almost rib cage deep water . His arms struggle to break free from the suspension above him, but he seems to be sinking even so. "Eponine, I can't get myself free from these " he motioned with his head towards the rope binding him with the wall . I need to free him but I don't know how. Suddenly I get a flash of inspiration and begin to search for in vain for somthing sharp enough to cut the rope. Enj tells me to look inside his red jacket, in a secret inner pocket. My hands grasp a small pen knife and I whip it out and begin to saw away at the rope. The water is rising quickly now . By the time the rope splits, I am up to my neck in water and enj's torso and shoulders are mostly submerged. I hand him back his penknife, but realize that I can't swim for much longer. Enj is up to his neck too now and tries ,struggling to keep head above water too. The water is eating away at us bit by bit , and I feel myself slipping from his grip. In a last minute effort I reach up to him to graze lips before the water takes me down . I feel his arms desperately grasp at my torso, but I have totally submerged. I embrace the water, and drowning doesn't feel too bad.
