Enjorlras - The Death Of Lamarque

AN:I thought I'd add in another characters POV to explore more of the story; enjoy!!

It was raining again in the streets of Paris. The right weather to suit my mood. My friends would ask, "enjorlras why the long face?" . Truth is I didn't feel up to drinking with them, because I was expectant of the oncoming revolution.

"come along enjorlras, have a drink! "
" the time has come. . Beware my friends don't let the wine go to your brains!!... "

As I watch coufreyac drown himself in more alcohol, I barely notice Marius wander in looking dazed. " we need a sign, to rally the people, to bring them in line!-" . I muttered.  I was interrupted by joly hysterically babbling to Marius and the other customers.

"I am agog, I am agast is Marius in love at last? , it is better than an opera!!"

This was not my intended reaction.  Instead of focusing on the oncoming revolution they were gossiping about Marius' love life...  Which was non existent less than 24 hours ago.  Frustrated,  I stormed over to the empty windowsill.  Gazing out into the water logged streets of Paris, the streets were empty except for one small gamine.  She seemed to be approaching the café we were gathered in.  My heart fluttered at the sight of her, due to her stunning beauty even though she was wetter than a drowned rat in a flood. 

Minutes later Marius wandered over aimlessly. This meant that he truly was in love. It made me revulse in anger and bitter envy.  "had you been there today, you would of known, how it feels to be caught in a moment of breathless delight..." I knew full well how it felt, but allowed Marius to ditter on. "had you been there today you would also have known what it feels to fall in love so quickly and so deep, and what was right  seemed wrong , and what was wrong  seemed right!.... Red- the color of desire, black the color of dispare!"

After that events went very quickly.  The gamine appeared at the entrance of the café, and my heart soared as I jostled through the crowd to meet her. However, by the time I reached the entrance she had disappeared and taken Marius along with her.  Twenty minutes later he was back, but this time, with gavroche.  They both looked grave. Then gavroche solemnly whispered :."General Lamarque is dead.  "
