Author's Note: Hi guys! I was inspired by both your creative writing and the movie. I really had to do this. the stories are a year prior to Jack's death and will work its way up to that point. I hope you guys like it. Thanks!
Chapter 1: Night
"Hahahaha Jack haha stop hahaha!" Cried Pippa, who started to cry from laughing so hard.
Her brown hair was all a fray, covering her face. Taking mercy on her Jack stopped for a moment, trying to catch his own breath from tickling and laughing so hard with his sister. Jack laid back in the cot next to Pippa, who snuggled next to him.
The cold night draft crept into the small cottage. The dirt floor was so cold that it would freeze both Jack and Pippas' feet. Their family had little money and earned little from their struggling farm, but both Jack and Pippa liked it that way. They shared the cot with two pillows and one thin blanket.
"Pippa come close I'll keep you warm," said Jack gently as he went under the blanket followed by his sister.
She snuggled closer to him as he wrapped one arm around her. He blew out the candle on their small nightstand and everything turned dark. He felt Pippa's arms hug his own like a child holding a doll. He smiled softly to himself and closed his eyes.
