Levina, Johnny, and her family are mine.

Sorry for late chapter and such. Moreover, I mean it is really late. I was distracted and yada yada yada, excuses, excuses. Story writing time.
Levina was on her rooftop again, turning seventeen standing ankle deep in snow. She looked at the snow-covered town. It was just one of those days that she was out of it so much that she did not hear her brother calling her from the ground.
"Angel…I can't stay at camp...I have to go back." Levina said as a fifteen year old and leaving camp.
"WHAT!" Angel shrieked. "You can't!" She ran up to her friend and grabbed her arms. "Why can't you stay?"
Levina did not want to look at Angel. "My brother. He is only ten. He needs me."
Angel pouted. "He's survived this long without you. I think he can last a little longer. It's dangerous out there for you Levina."
Levina really did not want to leave camp. "He is just a kid. A little kid that trusts me, Angel, I need to go. He is my baby brother and it is my responsibility to take care of him." She whimpered. "I really don't want to go. But I have learned enough to keep myself alive, I will survive Angel. I need to go back to my brother." Levina looked at her best friend. "He needs me; he is in just as much danger as I am. Johnny is my baby brother and I'm his big sister, I will take care of him. I promise I'll come back, I'll miss you Angel." She bit her lip before hugging her friend and running off to find the other she wanted to say goodbye too.
Then Levina's brain clicked and picked up her little brother calling for her. She looked down and saw him waving his arms, trying to get her attention. Levina smiled and climbed into her bedroom window just below her. "I'll be down in a second Johnny." She called as she crawled to her bed.
"Cold…cold…cold…" She said, rubbing her arms. "Freezing in the middle of December."
"Seth…" A young voice said from Levina's memory. "Seth…I want to talk to you." She said as she approached her boyfriend.
Seth smiled, a true son of Apollo smile that showed how kind he was. But seeing how sad Levina looked his smile disappeared. "What's wrong Levina?"
Levina pouted and quietly said her announcement. "I'm going home. I can't stay here at camp…"
Seth was silent. He did not say anything.
Levina pouted bigger. "I'm sorry. But…I have to go. Johnny needs me, I have to take care of him. He is my baby brother, he trusts me to take care of him and I have to go back in order to take care of him. I'm sorry." She said in his silence.
Seth turned to her a small smile on his face. "Levina…I'm okay with it. As long as I get to see you again someday."
Levina whimpered and hugged him for a moment. "I promise…I…have to go pack…" She said and escaped quickly, running as fast her feet could carry her. "I love you!" She called out to him as she ran.
Levina was back to herself, looking in the mirror. She ran away so Seth could not see her cry. She loved him but she had not gone to camp in a long time, she hoped she could see him again.
Levina just stared at herself in the mirror, seeing what she had become from the last time she saw Seth and her friends. "I'm so different. I look different for sure." Levina took in account what had changed in two years.
Her hair was longer, she did not look very much like a boy even though she wore male clothes. She was taller, growing an inch maybe a year. Levina sighed at the realization she was older. Seth was a year older than she was when they began dating; he was eighteen when she was seventeen.
Her blue eyes gazed into their reflection in the mirror. She touched the cold mirror with a tender touch. "I miss him…I miss Angel…" She whispered as her breath showed in a soft fog from the cold. "I promise. I promise to go back to camp someday when Johnny can take care of himself."
A roll of thunder made her come back to reality. "What?" She asked the sky. "What? You just think because you are my dad you can just thunder around any time you want? I have a life Dad…and I love Seth, I don't care what you think." She huffed and crossed her arms. Levina sighed. "Dad…you have not once been in my life, let me take care of it."
Then suddenly Levina remembered Johnny. "Oh Hades." She muttered, leaving her room to go running down the stairs. She got to the kitchen and she nearly jumped out of her skin when streamers popped out of a paper cannon.
"Happy Birthday Levina!" Her family said. They each smiled at her with bright smiles.
Johnny held up a cupcake for her. "I made it especially for you. Mom helped me so it wouldn't be a chocolate brick." He smiled warmly at his sister.
Levina smiled and hugged her little brother. "Oh, that's so sweet of you." She kissed his head and took the cupcake. I do not fully regret leaving my friends and the boy I love. I have my family here and its great being here with them.
Johnny made Levina eat the cupcake, it was not a chocolate brick, and it was good. She could tell he had been experimenting because it tasted like two types of chocolate mixed with vanilla jell-o cake.
When the party was over, she retreated to her room. The actually cake was nice and the gift was good too. However, no matter how hard she tried only one thing remained in her thoughts. "I miss him so much…" She said, climbing out her window and onto the snow-covered roof.
Feeling the cool air on her face calmed her down. She sat in the snow, crossing her legs. Levina neglected her snow pants and coat, coming out into the chilling air with nothing more than a shirt and a pair of jeans. No shoes even.
"I love him…" She breathed, shivering in the frost. "I miss him…when will I go back to him?" Levina looked to the sky for some kind of answer, seeing only clouds to not even let the moon shine down as her companion.
"Dad…where ever you are…please…an answer would be nice. I offer nothing but a humble plea…a humble and painful prayer." Levina said in a whisper, letting the cold air blow away the fog from her warm breath. "I know you can hear me…but please answer me…I want to talk to Seth but I have no currency or any rainbows in this winter frost."
The girl fell silent to listen for some kind of answer. "A letter?" She said quietly. "That's your answer?" Levina looked to the sky. "Maybe it'll make me feel better but I don't know where he lives." A thunder roll answered her. "Okay. Okay. I'm going." She said in reply.
Levina breathed calmly and went back into her room, going to her desk. "Um…now what? I do not know how to start it. There is so much I want to tell him." She had to think before writing quietly. She had sharpened her pencil a few times. When she finally ran out of things to write she sighed her name.
She sighed and looked down at her letter. "Now what do I do almighty Father?" She said as sarcasm was in her voice. "I think I should keep it. I told him I missed him like…7 or 8 times." She bit her lip, folding up the paper. Levina stashed the letter under her pillow. "Good night." She said, turning off her lights and crawling under her blankets. "I love you Daddy." She muttered.
Some one all three of Vamp Hikari and I forgot. Jace, son of Hades and character of Vamp. Let us just say Angel told him.
Long chapter...
