The June Juliette

waking up

When I came to, I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven. I led on a bed that was a million times better than sleeping on the cold cobblestone streets. The ceiling was covered with murals of cherubs and heavenly hosts.

Someone stirred from across the room. In a panic, I darted my head around towards the sound. My eyes met with his. My angel... His ocean blue eyes studied my face carefully, taking my features in. I followed suit and studied his angular jawline, that was drawn up in a tight clenching action. His lips were pink and soft looking. His curls fell in front of his eyes, but he didn't brush them away, and instead ruffled his hands through them anxiously.

"Mademoiselle, how are you feeling? " his tone sounded worried as I remembered the night before. I was so traumatised that I froze and tensed up at the memory.

Suddenly I was catapulted into a vision almost like a prophecy.
~♥~

It is raining again in the streets of Paris. The trees seem full of starlight when I remember fond memories of our time together. They feel like dreams that have burst into life.

But then I remember. He could die in battle and I'd never see him again. My heart speeds up at the thought of never being able to get lost in his beautiful eyes again. As images of his dying plague my mind, I become more and more terrified at each one. Strangers fill the streets, but my mind convinces me that they want to kill me or kill him .

I close my eyes and place my hands on my heart. I feel for the necklace that he gave me . "for courage in your darkest days " he had said as he had presented it to me.

I knew exactly what to do.

I was nearing the barricades, dressed as a boy, my auburn hair tied up under a cap. No one would figure me out, not like this.

The battle began and raged on and on, killing many on either side. Suddenly I hear a cock of a gun, and turn to see it is aimed at Enjolras who is frozen, knowing he cannot run away or fight back. He waits for the end.

Giving up on my charade, I run towards him and wrap him in a loving hug, knowing that it would be my last chance to say goodbye.

Enjolras is stunned and doesn't know who I am , so he tries to prevent me from dying.

But it's too late. The gun explodes.

I don't feel a thing, and he doesn't crumple before me. I have saved us both.

He pulls me off of him in a rush before seeing who I truly am.

"Amelia! What are you doing here? " he gasps before pulling me back into a tight hug putting his hands around my back. The moment is perfect but perfect never lasts..

It all happens in slow motion..

He tenses up.

He pulls away.

His face goes deathly pale as he looks at his hand.... It is covered in blood.

It is covered in my blood.

I realise that I'm slowly bleeding out. The temporary peace and joy I had felt had over come the pain.

But there was no more joy. Pain crippled me and I collapsed to my knees . My head fell backwards, but didn't collide with the pavement, but rather with his strong arms.

"Amelia! Amelia stay with me! Don't you dare close those eyes! " he sobs clutching at my hand while trying to stop the bleeding.

I shush him, trying to make everything okay. " Don't you fret Enjolras... I don't feel any pain. This rain can no longer hurt me. Our love, Enj is invincible and will never die... "

With my last breath I tell him " and though this may be our goodbye, I love you Adrien Enjolras and I'll always be right here " I touch his heart and feel it beating, something mine won't be able to do anymore.

I close my eyes and let the darkness take me.

~♥~

I don't realise I am crying until his big, gentle hand rests on my shoulder, and his eyes gaze worriedly into mine.

"I'm fine m'suir." I manage to stutter out..

But I know if this vision comes true, he wouldn't need to ask me... Because if the vision was true then I'm going to die in his arms.
