Guardians of the Underworld

"Sierra!" my mother called from downstairs. I jumped up from bed, and ran into the hallway. She was standing at the bottom of our staircase.
"What mother?" I asked a little heated by the fact that she woke me up at 6:00am on a Saturday. "What the heck is it? It better be important!" I screamed down at her.
"Get down here this instant, and don't you dare let me here you use that tone with me again, DENAE!" she yelled up at me, and stormed off into another part of the first floor.
This set my teeth on edge. I HATED it when she used my middle name. Only my dad used my middle name, and he was almost always at work, so I only saw him on weekends, and most weekends, I lock myself away in my room so my mom can't get to me. She drives me insane.
Anyway, I went back into my room. I locked my door, and lied down on my bed. Screw her, I thought with a smirk. Just as I closed my eyes, I heard my mother's screeching voice carrying through the walls of the house.
"DENAE GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE NOW!" she yelled, apparently outraged with me... again.
With a sigh, I got up, and stomped downstairs.
