[drabble] Alouette

[tenlittlebullets]

Shortly after the neighbors first began calling Cosette the Lark, Eponine and Azelma found a new game. One day Cosette approached the Thénardiess, trembling and cradling one hand.  Her pinky was broken.

"Madame... Ponine and Zelma... I know they were just playing, but it will interfere with my work!"

"Go back to the dishes, brat.  Serves you right for annoying them."

Cosette returned to her work, sobbing.  Barely ten minutes had elapsed when Eponine and Azelma skipped downstairs and began to pull her hair viciously, singing with the innocent obliviousness of children playing.

"Alouette, gentille alouette, alouette, je te plumerai!"

This is...most disturbing.

And, yes, I've had similar thoughts since I made the alouette-lark-Cosette connection.

Learning what the lyrics of that song meant caused this kid some serious trauma, let me tell you...

Children are precious!

Oh goodness, great connection, and that song IS really pretty sadistic, isn't it? Plucking the poor lark and putting her in the pot... *shivers*

Nicely done. :-)
