BANG! A crash echoed throughout the orphanage. 3 year old Katherine crawled out of her bed, she had always been super-smart, having already learned to walk without falling, and being able to say the alphabet without failing every time. She walked over to the window and looked out at the red and blue ship that had landed there on the grassy area, it had spiky wings and was definitely not from Earth. A blue person walked out, dressed in a long coat. Behind him a small boy walked out behind him, a little nervous.
The blue one spotted little Kate looking through the window and grinned. He said something inaudible to the young boy, and walked back to the ship. The boy disappeared inside of the orphanage, finding the room Kate was in. She ran back to her bed, fearing the footsteps she heard were from the mean old lady who ran the orphanage.
The boy walked through the door and spotted Kate, stumbling over to her in the darkness.
"Hey, hey, it's ok, we're here to… to bring you back to your parents. I'm Peter Quill." He said, trying to calm her down. She stared at him with curiosity.
"I'm Katherine, and are you really taking me? I don't wanna stay here anymore." She said in her small voice.
"I'm not messing around, I promise. Just come with me. Also, Katherine, you need a better name, something easy." He said, helping her off the bed. She thought about it for a moment, staring into the darkness.
"How about Crimson?" She said, not able to pronounce the word. "It's my favorite color." She said. Peter nodded. They walked down the steps, not able to turn on the lights because they'd wake everyone. They both slipped out of the door.
Once they were outside the blue person came out, and stood in front of them.
"What's her name?" He asked Peter.
"Crimson." He answered simply.
"Well, I'm Yondu, I'm going to take you to your…. Family." He said. Kate nodded and followed them both to Yondu's ship, and her new family, the Ravagers.
OK! First chapter yay! Do not worry I will try to update every two to three days! Please review and if you have any suggestions related to the plot or writing style just review or PM me, I look at both! Thank you for reading the prologue, and trust me this chapter is not the best. All the other chapters are longer and way better written. I have a few pre-written and they are way better than this one, so stay tuned! -Rill
