Ok. So I've been MIA for a bit... School+hurt horse=no time for fanfic and one sad, guilty feeling author! So, to make it up, I'll spend a while replying to reviews! Sound ok? Don't kill me *cringes and ducks down a bit*
BlueButterfly11: THANK YOU FOR THE LONG REVIEW AND THE OTHERS AFTER IT! I really loved them and they made me smile! They literally made my day! Note to Blue (can I call ya Blue? You can call me Russo or Rainbow or Rain or whatever) and to everyone else:: REVIEWS ARE NEVER ANNOYING NO MATTER HOW LONG OR PLENTIFUL THEY ARE! ? I got your pun! And it was pretty funny! (or should I say punny! Lol! *groans at my own stupidity and dumb jokes*)
Ok, so Blue asked a great question. Even though its a bit of a painful subject for me, yall deserve to know:: Where dod I get my username? Well, Russo was my first horse and first love. But due to a medical problem from being a rescue horse, I had to, at the tender age of 13, make the choice to put him down. As opposed to the risky surgery, it was much more humane. But with him, my childlike innocence and my heart died. I lost a valuable part of me. I am a Christian and believe that a rainbow is a symbol of Gods promise. To me, that promise is that like a rainbow, beauty will come out of the pain. It's been a few years since Russo left my life, but I still haven't spotted the rainbow. My username serves two purposes: 1. To commemorate and honor Russo's life and 2. To remind myself that there WILL be a rainbow.
LeicoAllTheWay:: Oh, brother/sister (I don't know which) you are too kind! I love you too, awesome sibling! I'm glad you think I'm something great! And, yes, I know not eating isn't gonna help, I was just too nauseous to eat then. Trust me, I love food too much to not eat! ? You definitely are doing awesome as a sweet reviewer and sibling! ?ￂﾠ Love you too! I am so glad you think I have a talent for writing. I honestly doubt it a lot. I would like to be a famous author one day! ? And to answer your earlier question, this party is just getting started! I am nowhere NEAR being done! I'd let you know, then start another fanfic!
On a random subject:: Is anyone here a fan of the show Scorpion or of the book Swipe by Evan Angler?
MiyaCook13 and Guest:: Thank you for the prayers, my horse is well on the road to recovery, and were pretty sure he didn't tear anything! He may be recovering faster than expected and I may be able to ride early! ? ﾟﾘﾊ? ﾟﾘﾃ? ﾟﾘﾁ
SlythindorRen:: THANK YOU FOR BEING A GRAMMAR POLICE AND CATCHING MY MISTAKE! I honestly love grammar police and welcome them! After all, I AM one when it comes to other people's stuff!
So that's about it! ?ￂﾠ Enjoy this late chapter!
NOTE::: THIS CHAPTER IS THREE YEARS AFTER THE LATEST ONE! PAIGE HAS BEEN A YEAR-ROUND CAMPER SINCE THE FALL AFTER LOSING STAR!
Chapter 6 Paige's POV (I can't believe we're on six already!)
It was fall, and only a handful of campers stayed for the school year, with most of them being my friend. The pain and sting of losing Star three years ago had never gone away. I just pretended it had. But you never "get over" something like that. No one knew how much I was still hurting- not even Annabeth.
The bullying, for the most part, had stopped.
But apparently, not this morning. I was outside, just doing whatever, when a couple of the year-round Ares kids cam up to me, "Hey, weirdo!" They said. I did my best to ignore them. Until, that is, they took it to a physical level. They slammed me again a tree, "I'm TALKING to you, Weirdo!" One growled at me, "but since you apparently can't talk, we'll have to just get it out of you." Apparently when I was ignoring them they had asked a question. Now, they beat me senseless. I didn't even try to fight back. I held in the screams, an expert on hiding pain. But when one of them punched me in the jaw, so hard they dislocated it, I couldn't hold it in longer. I accidentally let out a scream of pain. Then, I couldn't hold in in. I doubled over and collapsed of the ground as they continued to punch and kick me. I shrieked in pain, calling the two people I trusted anymore: My big brother Malcom and big sister Annabeth.
"Maaaallllcom! Annnnnnaaaabeeeeettttthhhh!" I shrieked their names at the top of my lungs. They heard me and came running, but by time they arrived, the Ares kids had left. I knew tattling would only bring more bullying, so didn't tell them who. I watched as Annabeth and Malcom shared a concerned look, before I blacked out
Annabeth's POV
"Mal, we got get Paige to the infirmary." He nodded in agreement. As we gently lifted her up and he hoisted her over his shoulder to carry her, I saw his anger grow with each bruise and cut we discovered. And that was just her face, legs, and arms. At the infirmary, Chiron pulled Mal and I out into the hall after examining her.
"She's got a dislocated jaw, two broken ribs, a broken arm and leg, and many bruises and lacerations." I knew I was looking pale and nervous when Mal put a hand on my shoulder to steady me. Whoever did this to MY Paige, deserved to have much worse done to them. But then, Paige woke up and started to sob.
Paige's POV
I woke up in pain and used that as an excuse to cry. I was upset and hurt. Crying made the pain worse, but it sharpened my fuzzy brain. I wasn't crying from the pain, truthfully. I was using it to let our my emotions I had felt lately of missing Star. Lyrics from one of my favorite songs flashed through my mind,
"She never slows down. She doesn't know why, but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like it's all coming down. She won't turn around. The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down... She won't make a sound. Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering, if she stands, she'll fall down. She wants to be found, but the only way out is through everything she's running from, wants to give up and lie down..."
Ok, so how was that? So sorry I didn't write for so long! BUT GUESS WHAT HAPPENED ON MY SHOW! (if you watch Scorpion and haven't seen the latest episode disregard the rest of this. If you have seen the latest episode or don't watch Scorpion, come fan girl with me!) SO. MY OTP IS A THING! ASDFGHJKL! They almost kissed! I've been for it since episode one! ?,? ﾟﾘﾁ?ￂﾠ Happy and Toby are so cute together and I've been waiting for it forever! What is this ship called? I can't come up with a decent name... ? Happy Quinn and Tobias... Ummm... I forget his last name! Help! That's all for now! Bye all!
