11. Part 1

IIII'MMMM BAAAAAAACCCCKKK! Hey everyone! :) So sorry for the long hiatus, school and such got really busy! I was rereading this and was all like, "Ew. This is horrible. I must've improved recently. Lol." So I am REWRITING this! :) :) So here goes nothing! (PS I missed y'all) (PPS I am writing one, maybe two new stories though they will be Harry Potter though maybe they'll be crossovers, idk yet.)

Nothing Gold Can Stay. A poem by Robert Frost. He makes it sound so simple. But this concept can be so painful. Nothing good lasts. Stars fade. Nothing, and nobody, is perfect. And, unfortunately, this concept is what makes this story worth telling. This is the story of a little girl who had to grow up very fast. This is the story of Winter Nicole Jackson.

"Percy!" The 7-year-old whined to her older brother, "I just wanted to say hi to Star!"

"No." The 17-year-old said firmly, yawning and running through his raven black hair, "It's 4:30 am, Winter. Go back to bed and we will have breakfast with Annie then go see Star in the morning."

"Promise?" The little girl locked eyes with Percy.

"Promise." Percy agreed solemnly.

The next morning, Percy was awoken by icy water and the giggles of a nearby little girl, "Winter!" Percy scooped up his little sister in his arms, "I missed you last week, you crazy, cold little monster!" Winter giggled and dragged her brother to breakfast, where they met his girlfriend, Annabeth. She was known as Annie to Winter, and Winter alone.

The second Percy was done eating, Winter dragged him to the pegasi stables. As soon as they arrived, she dropped his hand and raced to the last stall on the right. Percy grinned as Winter began to talk nonstop to Star, her pegasus. Annabeth brought him a coffee and they stood together watching the happy little girl and sipping their coffee.

So sorry this is short... It's just a fluff/get-to-know-you kind of chapter. There will be a better/longer one asap. Let me know what you think so far, what I can improve on, what I have improved on, ect! Enjoy and don't be afraid to offer constructive criticism.

As always, I own nothing except Winter and the plot!
