Disclaimer: I don't, and never will (much to my grief), own the Guardians or anything else from the movie. I only own Carina Lynx Snow, Ryan and Annie, Kris is owned by my friend.

I rolled over, sighing. Living in North Carolina was tough during winter, of course it was spring and almost Easter but still, it was freezing! It felt like fall of last year, going to bed every night expecting snow in the morning but waking to find none. I hated living here. Dad and Mom divorced after Ma told him she was going to have Sophie, I was 12 and Jamie was 8 and Dad left us, exclaiming, "I didn't even want the first two brats, now you're tellin' me I'm gettin' another I don't want?! I'm LEAVIN'!" 'Corse I never said he was a good father in the first place.

Now, you're probably wonderin', "Who IS this weirdo chick?" Well, I'm Carina Lynx Snow, forced to go by Bennett. Bennett's HIS last name, Ryan, my "dad." He remarried 4 years ago when I was 13, Jamie was 9 and Sophie was 1. Contrary to popular belief, Annie was a wonderful, if slightly over bearing, woman and we got along fine. I'm 17 and Ryan and I don't get along, matter o' fact…..

"CARINA! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" There he goes again, yellin' away.

Walking down the stairs I yelled back, "What do you want you son of a bitch?!" Now I didn't have anything against Grammy, I loved her even, but he rubs me the wrong way and I honestly didn't care at this point. After 4 years I was moving back to Burgess and in with my mom and seeing Soph and Jamie was amazing.

"Carina, the car's packed; all you have to do is get Kris after you get dressed." Annie came rushing towards me and hugged me with all her might. The petite strawberry blonde that had bright grey eyes was shorted than me, which was a feat in itself, after all I was 5'4" and not gunna grow another inch. I nodded, smiling, how such a rude and cruel man like Ryan married such a sweet and innocent person like Annie was gone to me.

"If that's all, I'm taking a shower." With that I turned to the stairs and retreated to my room, grabbing my cell I called Kris.

"'Ello, love!" I heard her British accented voice call out.

"Hi Kiki! I just have to shower n get ready and I'll be on my way to get ya! An hour, give or take!"

"Okay then! I'll see ya when ya get here! Bye wifey! Love ya!"

"Love ya too wifey!" Smiling I hung up and turned to my bathroom.

An hour later and I was ready. Running down the stairs I gave Annie and hug and a kiss on the cheek and a glare to Ryan then I ran to my car my black and blue hair flying out behind me and my green eyes glittering. I unlocked my baby, a '67 Chevy Impala and hopped in, closing the black door behind me. Putting her in drive I drove out of the driveway onto the street and off towards Kris'. Kris is actually named Kathrin Marie Valentine; funny thing is she was born on Valentine's Day. She was 16 and 5'9", had green eyes and pink hair with black streaks. Pulling up to her house I honked the horn, Black Veil Brides blasting.

Yelling a bye to her family she ran outside and hopped in the passenger's seat. "Let's get this show on the road bitch!" She yelled, excited. I nodded as I drove down the road, singin' along to the song "Fallen Angels." Good bye, NC, hello new life!
