The moon rose as you and your brother were hidden in the cloak of night. Jumping from roof to roof, you pondered about Clopin and how he knew you and your brother that well. Stopping for a bit, you looked at the bell tower and wonder who Quasimodo is. ( yes yes i know this is clopin love story but hey you're a curious person).  Looking over to your brother, (Bn) gave you a signal to separate and watch the other side of the city as he jumps off the roof to get down to the streets. As you continue to move forwards with in the city, thats until you hit the street the gypsies like to roam around the most, hidden within the shadows you jumped down to the rocky street below and look for anything suspicious.  You didn't notice a shadow as it hands grabbed for your waist and mouth. As you struggle against the attacker, you were being dragged deeper in the shadows. The attacker let go of you and as you spin around you saw Clopin in front of you. Clopin was in a different attire as he was dressed in purple than that colorful jester's outfit. " W-what are you doing, you gave me a heart attack," you stammered as you back away from Clopin.

"Well my dear it seems I gave you a fright," Clopin chuckled as he grabbed your hand and kissed it like he did before. " What is your reason for staying out this late mademoiselle?

You sighed and as you hugged your arms, " Im out on patrol for Judge Claude Frollo, we're suppose to find any gypsy vermin he likes to call and finish them off" You stared at him before whispering in his ear,"but in reality my brother and I are helping the gypsies to escape." you backed off to read the expression of his face but found a smile.

"Save the gypsies you say but why save us? hmmm shouldn't you be more careful if you don't want end up dead by the Judge," He asked.

" You did nothing wrong yet the lies from Frollo grow stronger and your people get persecuted," you sadly sighed " What can we do but sit back and watch you die?! No thats why the assassins sworn to secrecy to help the gypsies to escape... there used to be an assassin group but they-"

" Your family died by the same hands that you work for" Clopin said as he looks at your sadden figure. You nodded and sighed, slowly walking away from Clopin.

" I must take my leave but I will come back to listen to your stories, I really like them" You said as you disappeared into the night. As you continue towards your path you couldnt help but cry for the loss of your family and the gypsies who died. You stopped in front of the chuch and cried your eyes out. you held in these feelings for long that they just burst out. You felt two arms wrapped around you as you saw Clopin. " Why did you follow me here, y-you could have been captured by the guards and and."

"Hush and cry, you held in these emotions for too long. Cry, Clopin is here" He whispered as he held you there for most of the night. " (Fn), do not cry for those who are dead but those who are suffereing now. But why talk about the sad times as the festival of fools starts soon."

You wiped your tears, thats right the festival. When you were here early in the morning you failed to notice the festival being set up. " Will I see you there?" Clopin nodded and let go of you. You smiled at him left once again but this time to home as your job was done. Clopin stared at your retreating figure and smiled, knowing in his heart he was falling for you. As you got home, you laid in your bed hugging the sheets as you realized that you're starting to fall in love with Clopin. " How did I fall in love with somebody that I just met?" you started to question yourself why did you fall in love with somebody you just met or is it the reason that he was there to comfort you while nobody else could other than your brother. Snuggling further into the sheets, you have fallen into a deep slumber with many trouble thoughts in your mind. As you woken to the sunlight hitting your eyes, you jumped out of bed remembering that the feast of fools is today, the only time you and your brother doesnt have to work for that wretched judge Frollo.
