Eponine ran as fast as she could to get away from her dad.

Slam -- She fell and gave a small cry... she tried to get up but couldn't.

Sophia heard a small cry -- had someone fallen? She hurried toward the sound.

"Are you hurt?" Eponine heard a voice ask. She looked up and met a pair of eyes exactly the same as hers.

"Who are you?" she gasped, astounded.

"Sophia."

"Sophia? I'm sure I had a twin with that name!" Eponine said.

"Really? Is your name Eponine?"

"Yes... Yes it is."

"I had a twin once with the same name -- an identical twin, we were carbon copies of each other!"

"What? You mean like me and Sophia were? Strange.... Wait a minute - Sophia.... Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"What? Wait... you mean... Wait a minute - We look exactly the same."

"Exactly. We must be each other's lost twin."

"Eponine-- are you sure?"

"Yes. Would you mind helping me up?"

"Oh of course," Sophia said, helping Eponine up.

"Thanks! OW!" Eponine suddenly yelped.

"What? What's the matter?"

"My ribs! Soph' I don't feel so good!" Eponine said before passing out.

Sophia caught her before she hit the ground.

"Help! Someone! Anyone!" Sophia yelled.

"I heard a shout!" a soft voice said. "Need any help?"

Sophia turned around-- to be confronted with a strange young man.

"Yes-- My sister, she just passed out." Sophia explained.

"What's her name?" The young man asked.

"Eponine."

"Eponine! I once knew an Eponine! - Wait -that's her!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"OK! Would you mind helping me get her home?" Sophia asked.

"No not at all. Do you mind telling me your name?"

"Sophia. What's your name?"

"Marius."

"O.K., well Marius, would you please carry her and follow me."

When Sophia got home, she told Marius to carry Eponine into the "Guest" bedroom.

Later when Eponine came round Sophia told her why her ribs hurt - when Eponine fell she had severely bashed her ribs.

"What? What about my father?"

"He told me to tell you to stay with me."

"Why?"

"He's thrown you out!" Sophia said as gently as she could.

"What about 'Zelma?" Eponine gasped.

"Who's 'Zelma?"

"My little sister."

"I'm afraid you may never see her again!" Sophia told Eponine as gently as she could.
