Chapter 7: Escape

"He's right আপনি know the Archdeacon it would be unwise of me to arouse Frollo's anger further he's been nothing but kind to me if it wasn't for him I'd be out of the streets অথবা maybe even dead at least I would be in heaven with my Papa and Mother" Esmeralda placed her hand on Belle's shoulder sitting পরবর্তি to her on the floor in the stain glass windows reflection " আপনি must miss them terribly you're lucky at least আপনি have memories of your parents I don't even remember my mother and father but what I've learned is that we can't live in the past we need to look toward the future and I know for a fact that yours will be very bright so don't think about wanting to end your life now your parents wouldn't want that they would want আপনি to live your life after what আপনি did for that boy today আপনি such a kind and caring হৃদয় Belle and আপনি should share it with the world just like আপনি have with me".
Belle smiled at her Esmeralda was right she couldn't give up now when she had so much left to give "Thank আপনি Esmeralda your the first real friend that I've ever had", "And your mine" she hugged her it was so nice to finally have a friend in her life she had never had one before all the other gypsies just felt like companions nothing অথবা no one she could really relate to except for being a gypsy and being incredibly poor Djali bahed the girls couldn't help but laugh it was like he was saying "Hey what about me?" "Yes and আপনি to Djali" he came up to Belle and she gave him as hug to and a little চুম্বন between his horns he blushed and turned redder than the ripest টমেটো they couldn't help but laugh again.

Suddenly they heard a man shouting "YOU ঘণ্টা RINGER WHAT ARE আপনি DOING DOWN HERE! Haven't আপনি caused enough trouble already" Quasimodo knocked over a candle stand making a loud thump on the tile floor as he was trying to get away Belle and Esmeralda quickly got up startled দ্বারা the noise they hadn't realized they had been followed "Quasimodo wait!" Belle cried as she Esmeralda and Djali followed him up the tower steps chasing him across the upper level of Notre Dame his three gargoyle বন্ধু stood watching "Look he's got another friend with him and there's Belle coming up behind Quasi" ব্যক্ত Laverne the oldest of the three of them and the only women "Yeah maybe today wasn't a total loss after all" ব্যক্ত Hugo "A vision of loveliness" ব্যক্ত Victor "The one's the dresses ain't bad either".They all all jumped down from the roof শীর্ষ "Good প্রদর্শনী my boy" ব্যক্ত Victor the সেকেন্ড oldest "Got the girls chasing আপনি already" ব্যক্ত Hugo the youngest and fattest of them all "Yes I mean no I", "All আপনি need to do Quasi is just give the girls some slack then real them in then give real them in them give them some slack" Laverne hit him on the head "Knock it off, Hugo they're girls, not a mackerels আপনি moron" they quickly turned to stone when they saw Belle and Esmeralda walk in "There আপনি are Quasimodo oh I thought we হারিয়ে গেছে you" ব্যক্ত Belle "Yes well I'm well I'm glad আপনি found your way back and tell your friend thank for coming but I have things need to do I oh", "NO WAIT QUASIMODO!!" Hugo came to life and made smooching lips at Djali he shook his head like he was just seeing things then followed Esmeralda and Belle as they climbed up the staircase and ladder up to his place "I want to apologize"said Esmeralda as she climbed "If I had known who আপনি were I wouldn't have pulled আপনি up onto the stage".

She stood পরবর্তি to Belle memorized দ্বারা what she saw "What is this place?", "This is where I live", "Did আপনি make all these things yourself this is beautiful" ব্যক্ত Esmeralda touching the hanging staining glass Belle did to she had never seen this side of Quasimodo's প্রথমপাতা before even when she had come up earlier to dry off "It truly is" "Thank you", "Oh if I could do this আপনি wouldn't find me dancing in the streets for coins", "But your a wonderful dancer", "We it keeps রুটি on the টেবিল anyway what's this", "Oh no no please I'm not finished I still have to paint them" he ব্যক্ত as she lifted up the white sheet "Its the black smith and the baker" Djali ate one of the farmers মেষ "Your a surprising person Quasimodo" she ব্যক্ত putting the carving of the blacksmith back on the টেবিল "Not to mention lucky all this room to yourself", "Well its not just me there's Belle who will be staying with me tonight", "That's sweet of her"turning toward her with a smile "The gargoyles and of course the bells would আপনি both like to see them", "I would প্রণয় to Quasimodo", "Yes we would প্রণয় to wouldn't we Djali". Esmeralda looked over as he swallowed the farmer into his mouth "Good I'll introduce you" she climbed up the small ladder that lead to the very শীর্ষ of the tower where the bells hung from inside the roof she lend Belle a hand up the ladder "They're so beautiful" Belle ব্যক্ত in aww they looked over to Quasimodo who was দ্বারা the first ঘণ্টা "This is Sophie then Jacqueline, Anne Marie, and Little Marie" he ব্যক্ত as he hopped from ঘণ্টা to ঘণ্টা "And whose this Quasimodo" Belle asked "Big Marie" as he hopped down onto the floor Esmeralda and Belle went inside her and ব্যক্ত hello "She likes আপনি girls would আপনি like to see more?", "How about it Djali?" She bent down and looked back toward him as he walked through Big Marie he belched and her hollow inside made it even louder that it scared him a little bit.
"We'd প্রণয় to", Good I saved the best for last" they a climbed one last long ladder now on the highest part of Notre Dame they looked out onto the most gorgeous view of Paris over looking the canal houses on either side and the sky full of beautiful golds, pinks, reds, and purples it was truly a sight to see both Esmeralda and Belle were in complete aww "I bet the king himself doesn't have a few like this", "I could stay up here forever", "You could আপনি know Esmeralda আপনি have sanctuary", "But not freedom gypsies don't do well inside stone walls, "But you're not like other gypsies their evil", "QUASIMODO! Who told আপনি that?" Belle asked shocked "My master Frollo he raised me", "How could such a cruel man have raised you" she asked as they all sat down on শীর্ষ of the roof "Oh oh no Belle he saved my life he took me in when no one else would I am a monster আপনি know", "He told আপনি that" ব্যক্ত Esmeralda "Look at me আপনি two".

Esmeralda had a puzzled look on her face for a moment "Give me your hand", "What?", "Just let me see it" she could tell দ্বারা the look on his face that he was scared "Here I'll do Belle first may I see your hand?", "Of course" she let Esmeralda lead her hand her palm facing up "Let's see a long life line, this means your intellegent, your very kind hearted, oh and this one means that your going to being in a long happy relationship someday when আপনি find the right guy", "Wow আপনি can tell all that just দ্বারা পাঠ করা a palm that's amazing", "Thank you", "You see Quasimodo its not so bad I promise". At first he hesitated but decided after watching Belle to give it a try it wasn't going to hurt anything "Hmm also a long life line, oh and this one means your shy hmm hm hm hm that's funny", "What?!", "I don't see any", "Any what?", "Monster lines not a single one" he looked at his hand "Now আপনি look at me do আপনি think I'm evil?", "No! No no no আপনি are kind and good and and", "And a gypsy and maybe Frollo's wrong about all of us". Eavesdropping from down below we're the gargoyles stacked on শীর্ষ of each other Laverne was on শীর্ষ listening with one of her horns "What did she say?" asked Hugo "Frollo's noise is long and he wears a truss", "Ha! Told ya pay up", "Oh dear" ব্যক্ত Victor as he handed him a coin "Chump".
Quasimodo looked over at Belle and Esmeralda and smiled "You helped me now I will help you", "But there's no way out there's guards at every door", "We won't use a door", "You mean climb down Quasimodo" ব্যক্ত Belle shocked "Sure she carries him I carry her", "Ok we'll do it" Esmeralda went over to Belle and gave her a hug she was so worried about them "Don't worry we'll be fine", "Be careful my friend", "I will", "You take good care of her Djali" he bahed at Belle "Come on Djali" he leapt into her arms and she placed her handkerchief over his eyes to blind fold him so he wouldn't get scared."Are আপনি ready" Quasimodo picked her up "Yes", "Don't be afraid", "I'm to afraid" as he kept over the rail both she and Belle became scared as she watched from above "Now I'm afraid", "Don't worry" Djali blind fold untied from his face falling to the ground he became scared Esmeralda holding tightly to him "Have আপনি ever done this before", "No". She became scared as they kept across the tower onto the পরবর্তি one and climbed down but she trusted him then leaping onto the roof "Wow your quite the acrobat", "Thank you" suddenly the panel he was standing on came loose and they slid down the roof the wind blowing in their hair like like আপনি were riding on a board Quasimodo quickly grabbed a statue facing the edge if Notre Dame before they fell to their death the roof panel flew into a window the guards left to go investigate quickly he dropped down onto another roof and grabbed another statue swinging them safely onto a ledge he hid behind a large female statue and Esmeralda posed in front of it as a guard walked দ্বারা with a torch in his hand once he was gone Quasimodo came out of hiding and sat down পরবর্তি to Esmeralda on the edge "I hope I didn't scare you", "Not for an instant" the same couldn't be ব্যক্ত for Djali he had been scared out of his wits and was glad it was over as he laid on শীর্ষ of a headless statue with the head in the persons hand "I'll never forget আপনি Esmeralda" she placed her hand on his face and moved it toward hers "Come with me!", "What?", "To the Court of Miracles leave this place", "Oh no I'm never going out there again আপনি saw what happened today no this is we're I belong" moving his hand over the structure of Notre Dame "Alright then I'll to see you", "Here? But what about the soldiers and Frollo?", "I'll come after sunset", "But at at sunset I ring the evening Mass,then after that I clean the cloisters, then I ring the Vespers" Esmeralda kissed him "Whatever works for you", "If আপনি and Belle need sanctuary this will help আপনি find it" taking the নেকলেস for around her neck placing it around his "How?", "Just remember when আপনি wear this woven band আপনি hold the city in your hand" Djali bahed আরো soldiers were coming "Hurry আপনি must go" Quasimodo watched as Esmeralda and Djali climbed down from and rope and run off between two homes once they were gone from his sight he climbed back up Notre Dame.

An unfamiliar hand helped him up it was Phebous he has to to check on Belle to see if she was doing alright "Hi there I'm looking for Mistress Belle have আপনি seen her" Quasimodo jumped onto the balcony angrily growling at him like a rapid as he wild dog Pheobus backed away down the tower steps that lead back to the cathedral "Whoa, whoa, whoa easy" he quickly grabbed a torch hanging from the stone দেওয়াল "Wait! All I want is to...", "GO!" Belle could hear Quasimodo screaming from the ঘণ্টা tower she ran quickly to see if he was alright "I mean her no harm" Quasimodo growled waving the torch wildly in front of him "Rrrrrr... Go!" Phebous quickly drew his sword and trapped the torch against the wall. Belle was shocked when she made it to the tower Quasimodo was lifting Pheobus off the ground দ্বারা his মণ্ডল trying to get him to leave "Quasimodo don't! Its alright he's a friend" he looked into her soft pleading brown eyes letting him go "You have five মিনিট then I want আপনি to go", "Thank আপনি Quasi" placing her hand on his arm he smiled at her then went back up the steps Belle turned toward Pheobus "I'm so sorry he's very protective", "Good quality to have in friend" he ব্যক্ত as he put away his sword "What brings আপনি here Captain?", "Please Belle call me Pheobus", "Pheobus" it tickled her tongue she ব্যক্ত it so sweetly "Well now that we have names straight I just came to see if আপনি were doing alright in case আপনি were having সেকেন্ড thoughts about staying with the Hunchback and maybe if if if আপনি wanted to we could go on a moon lite ride before we head back to the Palace of Justice", she thought his studdering was cute it reminded her of Quasi she could tell he was beating himself up for it clearly he'd never acted this way before it made her feel flattered "I would প্রণয় to do আপনি think Achilles will mind", "No not at all he fancies you", "Well I'm flattered really I'll meet আপনি outside I just need to tell Quasimodo", "Of course".
She watched as Pheobus went down the steps when he was gone she went back upstairs and found Quasimodo looking out into the night across the way "Quasi", "Belle is everything alright? Did he hurt you?", "No not at all actually he invited me to go for a ride and then we would head back to the Palace of Justice will আপনি be alright if I go", "Of course", "Your sure I promised আপনি that I would stay I just don't want আপনি to feel like I've disappointed you", "Not at all go have fun", "Thank you" giving him a চুম্বন on the cheek "Will আপনি be back tomorrow?", "I promise goodnight Quasi", "Goodnight Belle". He watched her go down the steps then headed back to the ঘণ্টা tower "Hey hey! There he is!" shouted Hugo he and the other gargoyles rushed over to cheer and applause him "Gizmo আপনি ejected that tin plated বানরজাতীয় প্রাণিবিশেষ with great panache!" ব্যক্ত Victor "The nerve of him snooping around trying to steal your girl", "My girl?", "Belle brown hair went off with the solider remember?" asked Laverne "Boy I do! Way to go lover boy!", "Lover boy? Oh no,no,no,no", "Oh don't be so modest", " Look, I appreciate what you're all trying to do, but let's not fool ourselves. "Ugliest face in all of Paris", remember? I don't think I'm her type". As he looked out he began to sing then headed back to his wooden village টেবিল thinking about what it would be like to be in প্রণয় "So many times out here I've watched a happy pair of প্রেমী walking in the night.They had a kind of glow around them it almost looked like heaven's light I knew I'd never know that warm and loving glow though I might wish with all my might no face as hideous as my face was ever meant for heaven's light".
Laverne handed him to pieces of wood he carved one figurine of Esmeralda and one of Belle as he continued to sing "But suddenly two দেবদূত have smiled at me
and kissed my cheek without a trace of fright I dare to dream that they might even care for me and as I ring these bells tonight my cold dark tower seems so bright I swear it must be heavens light" ringing the bells for the evening mass.
