Chapter 1: In Which Breaking and Entering is Considered Normal.

It was six o clock in the morning on a Saturday, the majority of Burgess was sleeping, except for Sarah Jessup who was running full speed ahead to the house that lay just a few feet away from the pond.

Within seconds she was in front of the house and already unlocking the door with a key that Ms. Bennett had given to her before, her face full of excitement as she let herself into the house with a key that the family had given her several months before.

Within moments she was in the house up the stairs and in the room of her best friend she walked over to the bed her entire body buzzing with excitement as she started to shake her best friend: Jackie Bennett, awake.

"WAKE UP!" Sarah screeched shaking Jackie as hard as she could. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

The girl that Sarah was trying to wake up: A white haired girl with pale skin scrunched up her nose and hid her head under pillow. "Go away Sarah!" She whined. Half heartedly trying to smack Sarah's hand away.

Sarah wasn't deterred, she removed the pillow from Jackie's head. "Wake up, I have news!"

"I have a cell phone, you could have called" Jackie said sitting up to glare at her best friend.

"I did call; you wouldn't answer your phone" Sarah defended the smile never once leaving her face.

"I was sleeping" Jackie muttered taking a good look at said cellphone and read the time. She turned to glare at her best friend. "It's 6:03, Sarah!"

Sarah nodded having the decency to at least look a little ashamed. "But I have a good reason!" She exclaimed.

"What is all this yelling about?" A new voice called out.

Both started at the voice, Jackie's eyes widened at the sight of seeing the new figure there, and Sarah turned so quickly she very nearly fell off the bed however she caught herself just before that could happen.

Jackie's mother: Sophie Bennett was standing in the door frame wearing a pink bathrobe, her arms were crossed and she looked very tired and worn.

Sophie looked over at Sarah not the least bit surprised to see her daughters best friend there, even though Sarah had not been there the night before. Sophie started to message her temple.

"Sarah what are you doing here at 6 in the morning?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Bennett but I had to come over as fast as possible to tell Jackie the good news!" Sarah said unapologetic, it wasn't like she was trespassing; Ms. Bennett had said that she could come by anytime.

Ms. Bennett sighed and looked to the ceiling. "And you couldn't just call her?"

"Jackie wasn't answering her phone, and I have to tell it." Sarah said starting bounce in her bed in anticipation.

Sarah yawned. She had been up late writing and hadn't gone to bed until 2 in the morning. "Do your parents at least no you're here?" She said both tiredly and exasperatedly.

Sarah looked sideways for a moment. "Well, they will when they find out I'm not in my bed." She said.

Sophie sighed and put a hand to her head. Great. "What was your news?" She asked instead.

Sarah smiled and started to speak. "Well you know how for March break my parents take a trip out to my grandmother's village?"

Jackie nodded her eyebrows furrowing in confusion on why Sarah was reiterating what was considered common knowledge. Every Christmas Sarah's grandmother came to town and spent a couple of days there, and on March Break the entire family would headed out halfway around the world to spend that time with their grandmother.

Jackie had met the grandmother, a few times and the woman was amazing. She was kind and attentive and like her own mother was always willing to listen to child, never dismissing them because they were children.

But what she and Sarah loved most about the woman where her stories. Every time she came she had a new story to tell. Both Sarah and Jackie could listen for hours as she weaved another tale. Sarah and Jackie's favorite always had to do with a bad man becoming good, or a fairy child learning to let go of the anger that had plagued her heart for years, or about a man learning the value of caring, or of a man who was able to tame even the wildest heart.

But everyone could tell that the grandmothers favorite story was about an immortal boy who befriended a little orphan girl and gave up his immortality to free her from an evil spell.

Sarah and Jackie had heard that particular story so many times they themselves could recite it from heart.

"Well, my parents have decided after massive begging on my part to invite you and Ms. Bennett over to grandmother over to her place this year."

Jackie's eyes widened and all of a sudden her anger at being woken up 2 hours earlier than she would have liked was forgotten as she jumped out of bed and hugged Sarah.

March Break had always been the loneliest time for Jackie her best friend was always out of town this time of year, visiting relatives and family friends.

Now however she could come with Sarah, instead of staying inside waiting for her friend to come home.

"No just wait a moment, I haven't given the ok."

Jackie's eyes widened her bottom lip jutting out as she tried to gain sympathy. "Please? Can we go mamma please? You've met Sarah's grandmother, you know what she's like, please?"

Sophie looked down and sighed. "I'll talk to them find out how we're getting there and how long the trip is."

Sarah shrugged. "We'll be taking one of my father's travel methods" She said. "Or we can use one of Jackie's snow globes that she got for Christmas."

Sarah shook her head with a smile. "I keep forgetting your family knows more about the guardians than I do, and I dated one of them."

Jackie and Sarah looked slightly disturbed about the idea of Sophie and Jack dating before deciding not to talk about it.

"So can she come?" Sarah finally asked.

Sophie smiled. "Only if I get to come too."
