2 Christmas Eve Eponine lurks outside a church. Corpus Christi. She traces the guilder letters of the name with her finger. She's always liked churches, well, the music at least. The reading bit, and the priest doing his preachy bit- 'don't do this, don't do that' - was boring though. But the music, especially on Christmas, is lovely. She sings along to the ones she knows, 'Away in a Manger', 'Silent Night' and 'O Little Town of Bethlehem', from her seat on the steps of the church. It sounds funny to sing in English, but when in Rome… or London. It's not as beautiful as French, though. As the mass ends, she retreats to a doorway a little way down the street. The people spill out. Her stomach growls.
She follows one pair, a couple with their arms around one another. They wander through the streets and Eponine follows them, stalking them in the shadows. She could kill them. She creeps closer. It's been ages since she's had a good meal.
4. Stranded
Eponine's never been to London. She's never actually been anywhere outside of France really. And now here she is, packed off, unwanted by her sire, for now. She clutches her map, trying to figure out where on earth she is. Is it dangerous? She has no idea. Montparnasse told her to find Jean-Claude, but she's not sure who to ask. Better not to, really. Vampires aren't exactly liked at home and she doesn't think that it'll be much different here.
Eventually, she finds the river. She can navigate from here, but she doesn't really know where she's going. To make matters worse, the sun is coming up, and Montparnasse took her daylight jewellery from her back in Paris. She needs somewhere to stay. Quickly, she makes a decision, hitches her battered rucksack back up to her shoulders and sets off across a bridge. Something will have to turn up. Right?
