The Brother of Star-Lord (Guardians Of The Galaxy)

Chapter 1:Take My Hand (Rewritten)

Earth, the Year 2007

I sat in the garden outside the orphanage that I'm currently staying at.  It was nearly night time,   the sun was starting to set, and I was listening to music from the earbuds that I have that were connected to my iPod that I did not see a shadow loom over me.

"Eden?" A muffled voice call to me, I turn to my turn around only to see feet, I move my neck upwards only to see a woman with brown hair with streaks of grey showing, wearing what seemed to be a brown blouse over a white shirt, jeans, and brown shoes. This woman is Mrs.Chalice, she is the owner of the orphanage that I'm currently apart of. I take my earbuds out of my ears and I look at her. "Come on, Eden, we do not want you catching a cold out here?" Mrs. Chalice says as she extends out her hand towards me. I put my earbuds and my iPod back into my pocket and took her hand, and we both walk back inside the orphanage.

We both walked back into the orphanage and I decided to walk back towards my room only to be pushed onto the ground and my stuff fell out of my pocket. I turn around to see who pushed me only to find nobody other than Arlo, the main bully,and Mrs.Chalice's son, and the orphanage's biggest jerk and with him were his posse of numbskulls. Just my luck. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the little freak," Arlo says with a smirk on his face, and his group behind giggle with glee. 

"What is your problem with me, Arlo? I haven't done anything to you!" I retort. "See, there is your problem, your existence is what bothers me, people like you should not have existed in the first place." Arlo says, anger being obvious in his voice.  "Well, it is not my problem." I mumble under my breath. "What did you say, freak?!" Arlo yelled. 

Suddenly I felt  a stinging feeling on my cheek, Arlo had punched me and I landed on my butt on the floor.

"Arlo!" Mrs.Chalice yelled from across the hallway, Arlo turns around with a terrified expression on his face, Mrs. Chalice was standing across from us, with an angered expression on her face, oh did I forget to mention that Mrs. Chalice is the scariest when she is angry. 

"What happened here?!" Mrs.Chalice asked, Arlo looked terrified of her and of course like he always, he lies. "I  was just trying to be friendly to him, Momma, then he decided to be mean to me." Arlo lies, then he turns to me with a smirk, hoping to get me in trouble. "Don't lie to me, boy, tell me the truth." Mrs.Chalice demanded. Arlo's smirk disappears and his confidence faltered, he was at a loss for words. "Um, uh, um." Arlo tried to speak but he could not get the words out of his mouth. Mrs. Chalice lets out a deep sigh of disappointment. 

"Never mind, I already know what happened, Arlo, I'm disappointed in you, You know in this orphanage we treat each other as friends, not enemies." Mrs.Chalice says as she walks over to me, and touches the brusie on my face, I flinch in pain but soft into her touch.

 "But mom-" Arlo was about to say, but Mrs.Chalice interrupts him. 

"But nothing, Arlo! As of this moment you are grounded for a week! Go to your room!" Mrs.Chalice ordered.

Arlo jumped up in surprise and tried to come up with a response, but gave up. "Yes, mom." Arlo obeys and leaves towards his room. Mrs.Chalice turns to her son's group of buddies.

"The rest of you go to bed, if I find you causing  any more trouble, I will not hesitate to ground you as well." Mrs.Chalice says with a stern expression on her face.

 The other boys looked scared and went back to their rooms. Mrs.Chalice stands up and extends her hands towards me, "Come on, Ed, let's get you cleaned up." She says with a soft tone in her voice, almost motherly.

 I take her hand and she takes me to her room. When we arrived, she took out the medical supplies and helped to clean up the bruise on my cheek. After we were done, she took me back to room and tucked me into bed. 

"Good night, little one." She says as she switches off the light of my room and closes the door. and I drifted of to sleep.

Rain was pouring, a baby's cries were heard echoing , a baby boy with black hair. wrapped in green cloth, crying as the rain was pouring down a woman with black hair wearing seemed to be a suit of some kind, the woman looked down at her child and in instant she was no longer in the rain and now stands infront of a familiar building, she lays down the baby on the door step and takes off her necklace and wraps it around the baby's small neck. The baby continued to wail, small hand outstrectched without noticing, "Take my hand." the woman says faintly almost like a whisper, the woman tok the baby's hand in hers, "Remember this feeling, do not forget it and just know, I will always be with you even in the dark." The woman says as she leans down and kisses the baby's forehead, the baby topped crying and has fallen asleep, the rain continued to pour down.

The woman ranged the doorbell, and in a small instant she was gone, almost like she was never even there. A young woman opens the door only to see nobody was there, when she looked down she sees the child, asleep underneath the roof covering the door step, The woman picks up the baby and closes the front door, at the same time a lightning clap occurred.

I jumped in my sleep, confused as I looked around my room, and went back to sleep, only to hear scuffling around outside my room and I saw four shadows outside my room, I recognized one as Arlo, I started to shake then a voice in my head said one word "Run." 

I immediately jumped out of bed opened the window, and jumped out landing on my feet then tripped over falling on my face. "Where did you go, freak?!" I heard Arlo yell. Out of instinct, I begin to run, I ran as fast I can no longer turning back. I made it back to the clearing where I was earlier. I slumped down on the ground, and cried. I grabbed a piece of the grass and continued to cry. "Eden, where are you, sweetie?" I heared Mrs.Chalice call out.

 But before I could turn back a flash of light went off. I look up to see a ship above me. "Eden!" I heard Mrs.Chalice exclaim , I turn around to see her only a few feet away from me. "Take my hand!" She yells, I reached out, only to be lifted into the air and into the ship. "Eden!" Mrs.Chalice cries out one last time as the ship's hatch closes with me in it, then the ship takes off.
