Happy Easter!

Ermegherd, I know I said I'd get a story out, but I honestly had no idea it would be this late! Technically, this is my first fanfiction and it may start out all scrappy and stuff. I've just watched Rise Of The Guardians and I thought this would be a really good way to start off my series of stories. I'm no good at first chapters, but it's sure to get better. I hope. So anyways, here we go! This story takes place during the movie. and I also changed the summary to fit. Hope you like it!

Spirit Dreams Prologue -Introducing Me!

Yo everyone! The name's Ash. Ashley Cole. I'm a typical, friendly 14 Year old. And I'm also a bit hyper. Ok, scratch that, I'm totally hyper. Look up "hyper" in the dictionary and you'll see my name in the description. I'm also a bit sarcastic. And I can get really annoyed at people who annoy the hell out of me.

I'm a quarter British (from Wigan to be more exact), quarter Australian, quarter American and a quarter Scottish. I have a really bad habit of changing accents to confuse people.

Any who, as I was saying, I'm a 14 Year old teenager with an attitude. I have chocolate brown hair with a red and orange dip-dye. I mainly wear bright clothes and that makes me seem younger than I am. It doesn't help that I also act younger, either. And it's really annoying when people think I'm twelve or something. I'm not. Capiche?

So yeah, I'm just an average gal. And I'm also a guardian. And this is how this whole spiel all started...

Chapter One

Sunday's are meant to be a day of rest, right? Umm, not in my household. Actually, it's only Easter Sunday we get up early. It's so we can hide the Easter eggs for all the kids to find. And by 'we' I mean the adults, my two BFFs ( Finn and River) and me. I probably haven't made it obvious, but we live in a care home. My parents died in a car crash when I was ten. Considering all that happened to me, I was a pretty happy child. The only thing that changed about me was that I had to act more grown up than I really was. I've sort of got over it now, so I don't want to bore you with the soppy life story. It's not that I've forgotten about them, it's just that the memories are to painful.

Anyway, back to the story. So on Easter Sunday we hide the eggs. When I was little, I used to believe in the Easter bunny. To be completely, I still do. I guess because I had to grow up to quick when I was so young, I still wanted to keep a bit of my childhood with me. And probably due to the fact of the new 'Rise Of The Guardians' film. Yes I am a sucker for them films too. Hey, and proud of it!

So there I was at 5:30 in the morning, hiding eggs.

"Why did I even bother to do this?" Grumbled Finn.

"Cuz' it makes the kiddies happy, right River?" I joked, smiling at a frizzy haired girl wearing dungaree's and a stripy top.

"Uh-huh," she replied, not really listening. "Hey, Ash, where should I put this one?" Holding a sparkly pink egg up for my inspection.

"Over by the rose Bush!" I called out as she passed me. Heh, I love my job.

"Here's one!"

"I found a shiny one!"

"Gotcha!"

I smiled in amusement as I watched over excited children roam the garden, shouts of of surprise resonating. This was the ONLY reason I agreed to get up at 5:00. The looks of joy on the children's faces was enough all that effort.

How come Easter Sunday seems to pass by so quickly? Probably because we were having so much fun. The kids finished the egg hunt late in the afternoon. We were all set to have a nice peacefully tea inside when the care workers announced that we were going to have a picnic tea in the park. This day just gets better and better.

"I'm stuffed!" Complained Finn.

"You should be, greedy guts! How many sandwiches did you scoff? You know it's your own fault," I retorted.

"Guys! Enough fighting. We should be setting a good example for the kiddies!" Scolded River. Geez, that girl was scary when she was telling you off.

"He started it!" I yelled.

"And you answered!" He yelled back, smirking.

"Y-you... Aghhh!" I flopped down on the grass thinking of several ways of how to kill him. He was just SO annoying!

"Tag!"

I turned around to see my favourite girl, Every A.K.A River's sister.

"Tag!" She repeated.

I sighed. You can't say no to a sweet little five year old, can you?

"Wanna play?" I said, crouching down next to her. "Ok, you have five seconds - GO!"

"Yay!" She yelled, running off.

"Come on everyone, I'm it, so go run!" I shouted to everyone else, urging them to join us.

It was so sweet to see the kids playing with us. Sometimes I wished I could still be as young as them.

The new t thing happened so fast, I had no time to register it. I think one of the boys, Tom I think it was, stepped out onto the road...into the path of a car...

And all I can remember was pushing him out of the way...

bit ironic that I'm posting this on Easter Sunday and it's about Easter. It wasn't even Easter when I wrote this!

Well how was that for a first chapter? Yup, I'm evil, I hate cliff hangers too. Is it all right? Or does it seem to formal?

If you have any questions, see any grammar or punctuation mistakes PLEASE PM me and I will put things right. Oh yeah, and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE review! The more reviews I get, the quicker I will get the next chapter out. First reviewer will be mentioned at the start of the next chapter!

PEACE OUT!
