Jack Bruno walked into his small motel room late that night. It had been a long day of diving alien freaks back and forth between the alien conventions at Planet Hollywood. He saw his 15 year-old niece, Elizabeth, fast asleep on the couch. Elizabeth had moved in with him 2 year earlier after her mom, his sister, and her father died in a plane crash. And being her godfather he took her in.

He took a blanket from a shelf and covered her with it. Then walked over to his bag and pulled out a blue and green stripped wrapped package and put it up in the closet. Elizabeth birthday was tomorrow and he had been saving up for something he knew she wanted, of course though when he asked she said that he didn't have to get her anything. But he knew his niece.

Jack turned off the lights and climb in the bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Elizabeth yawned, stretched and sat up on the couch. She rubbed the sleep from her bright green eyes and looked around the room. She frowned when she saw that Jack wasn't there. She wasn't surprised, he usually had to leave early and wasn't there when she woke up. But today was her birthday, she wasn't expecting much, but it would have been nice for him to wish her a happy birthday before he left.

Elizabeth sighed, shook her head of long dark brown hair and walked over to one of the two closets. She pulled out black skinny jeans, her purple converse and her favourite t-shirt it was grey, v-neck and had a wolf head sketched out in black with blue, gold and black wavy lines surrounding it meant to look like wind.

She changed and poured some Lucky Charms cereal in a bowl. She turned on the TV to some cartoon show and started watching. It was summer so there wasn't any school. Usually she would stay home, watch TV or read one of her books that she read a million times. Sometimes she would even take a walk around town.

Suddenly the lights went off and the door opened and closed behide her. She turned around to see Jack with a carton of about 12 cupcakes each with a candle on it. She smiled.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Elizabeth. Happy birthday to you." Jake sang.

Elizabeth laughed and blew out the candles. She took one of the chocolate on chocolate cupcakes taking a big bite out of it.

"Yum." She said smiling.

Jack gave her a hug, "Happy birthday Liz."

"Thanks Uncle Jack."

"I got you something." Jack said walking over to the closet.

"Uncle Jack you didn't have to."

"It's your birthday of course I had to."

Jack took the blue and green wrapped gift from the top shelf and handed it to Elizabeth. She tore the paper open to find the three part series novel books she had been wanting; Inkheart, Inkdeath and Inkspell.

Elizabeth gave Jack a death hug, "Thank you so much! How did you know?"

"Please I know you read every book you had about a billion times and I saw you looking at the set every time we walked by the window of the book store."

Jack watched as Elizabeth admired the books, then an idea hit him.

"Hey Liz why don't you come ride in the cab with me today instead of saying here all day?"

Elizabeth eyes lit up, "Can I really?"

Jack shrugged, "Sure, it's not like anyone will mind."

Elizabeth jumped up from her chair and grabbed her dark green zip-up sweater, "Okay then lets go!"

Jack chuckled as he followed Elizabeth outside and locked the door behide them.

They got to the taxi parking lot when two tall guys in black suits came up to Jack.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Jacky." The tall dark skinned man said.

"Mr. Wolf been looking for you Jack." The other light skinned man said.

"I told you guys and Wolf, I'm out." Jack said.

"You're not out till Mr. Wolf says you're out." The first man said.

The second man walked over to Elizabeth, "Who's this little princess Jack? It would be a shame if anything happened to her."

"Back off asshole." Elizabeth sneered.

"Oh feisty to; Mr. Wolf would be interested in you."

"You leave her out of this." Jack said.

"Hey you two! You can't be here." A man managing the garage said to the two men in suits.

"We'll find you Jack, Mr. Wolf doesn't take kindly to traders." The first man said. Both of the retreated to the black van parked nearby and drove off.

"What was that all about Uncle Jack?"

"Never mind just get in the car." Jack said walking around to the drivers' seat as Elizabeth got into the passengers.

Elizabeth did up her seat belt, "Who were those men?"

"Drop it Liz."

"No." Elizabeth proceeded, "I want to know who those men were, who this Wolf person is and why you are a, in their words, trader to him."

Jack was getting very annoyed now, "Elizabeth Marie Anderson drop it now."

Elizabeth shut up. Her Uncle only used her full name when he was angry or very annoyed at her. She sat back in the chair and looked up at the review mirror.

"AHHHHH!" She screamed when she saw two blond teenage kids around her age in the back seat of the cab. Her sudden outburst caused Jack to swerve and stop.

"What? What's wrong?"

Elizabeth pointed to the back seat and her and Jack both turned around. The two blond teenagers, one boy and one girl, stared to the two.

"Where did you two come from?" Jack asked.

"Outside." The boy said.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "No duh genius. How did you get in?"

"Though that portal." The girl said pointing to the door.

"Okay..." Elizabeth turned to whisper to Jack, "These two are crazy."

"We are of need of your transportation severances." The boy said.

"Who the heck are you two?" Elizabeth asked.

"I'm Seth and this is my sister Sara." The boy said, "We are of need of you transportation severances." He repeated sounding impatient.

A horn honked behide them and Jack was forced to start the car.

"Transportation huh? Well I'm in need of some money." Jack said.

"A curry transaction." The girl named Sara said to her brother.

Seth pulled out a huge watt of cash from his bag and held it up to Jack, "Will this amount suffice?" He asked.

Elizabeth eyes widen, "Where did you get all that?"

"Will this amount suffice Jack Bruno?" Sara asked.

Jack looked quickly at the girl, "How do you know my name?"

Sara pointed to the divers licence on the dash board.

Jack shrugged, "Okay where to?"

"We must travel in that direction." Sara pointed to the left.

"I need more then that direction."

Elizabeth watched from the mirror as Seth pulled out what looked to be some blue hand held devise and press some buttons on it.

"We must locate latitude 40.54 cross-intersecting longitude..."

Jack cut him off, "We're just going to go with that direction."

Elizabeth turned around to face the two teens, "So where are you guys from?"

"That's confidential." Seth said.

"Okay...where are you headed?"

Seth narrowed his eyes at her, "That's confidential."

"Fine, gosh is everything confidential with you?"

"Yes."

Sara rolled her eyes, "I am sorry for my brothers' behaviour. He is a little on edge. Are you Jack Bruno daughter?"

Elizabeth laughed, "Amazing how many times I get asked that. No, I'm his niece Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz."

Sara smiled, "It is nice to meet you Liz."

Elizabeth smiled back, "You two Sara." She looked over at Seth, "Him not so much."

Sara gave a little giggle while Seth just glared at her.

'Aw, he's kind of cute...scratch that he is hot! Too bad his so...secretive about himself.' Elizabeth thought.

"What are you staring at?" Seth asked rudely.

Elizabeth glared right back at him, "That's confidential." She said mocking his words from earlier.

Jack chuckled and Sara giggled. Seth just glared at her with an annoyed look on he's face.

Elizabeth gave a little giggled and turned back to the front of the car.

'Yeah he's hot. But why does he have to be so rude.'

Elizabeth sighed and dug into her shoulder bag, which was black and decorated with different colour stars, and pulled out her Inkheart book and plastic pink swirled bookmark with the words once upon a time.

She opened it to the first page and started reading. Something told her this was going to be a long, silent car ride.

Okay I did this story for a requeset from alextwilight101. I have to say I would have never thought to do another RtWM story if they had not commented on my other story and asked if I could right her this.

It makes me happy that they asked me to write it out of the other people that they could have asked :D

So this is for you alextwilight101 and anyone else that happens to come across this story and likes it :)

Flames not welcome. Comments on what I could have done better though are welcomed.

I have 3 other chapter to put up in the same day (grated they're shorter but still good) that is a new record for me and chapter 4 is like half way done. I'm proud of myslef :P

So until next time...which will porbably be in three seconds :P

REVIEW!
