Start up

Xqulth: Well I own absolutely nothing of Inkheart, Spell, or Death. Though I wish I owned Dusty.

Dusty: ehhh…

Reiley: But she owns me! Aren't you special?!!!

X: ehhh…Oh and thank you Kallypso for pointing out that Maggie should be Meggie. And thank you InkstainedFire for your review.

That day, I woke up earlier than usual so I could pack up my computer, keyboard, docking station, charger, and mouse in my backpack. After that I went Meggie's and my bookshelf to pick out three or four books. I pulled off the shelf Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code, P.C. Cast's Hunted, Kate Cary's Bloodline and the brown paper bag wrapped book (AKA Inkheart). After putting them in my specially made bag I walked down to the camper and put it in my seat. Then I went to put Mo's coffee on and wake up Meggie after I got dressed and woke up Gwin.

"Where we going, Rei-Rei?" Meggie asked as I woke her up and she saw my favorite books gone from the top self.

"Probably to Aunt Elinor. Oh joy." I remarked sarcastically. Meggie looked at me confused.

"Who's Aunt Elinor?"

"Our mother's aunt. She hates me." I said as I rolled my eyes, "Get ready before we leave without you!"

With those words Meggie was out of bed in a flash and waiting for us at the camper. We loaded in and started down the road when Dustfinger stepped out from behind the stone pillar that marked the front rusty gate around our yard.

"We had a date, Silvertongue. You're not going to stand me up again like last time?" He asked curious, "Besides you have Gwin with you."

I walked out of the camper ignoring Meggie's distrustful glare, "You have no idea how very, very wrong that sounds, do you?" I said laughing.

Meggie came out beside Mo whispering, "Mo I don't like him." Which caused him to chuckle softly.

Dusty raised and eyebrow at me in a silent question, She doesn't like me does she? And I raised one in reply to say, What do you think? Mo looked between me and him confused. I shook my head.

"You know I was heading South anyway. Would you mind if I rode with you? Besides Capricorn's still in the North last time I heard."

"YES!!!" Meggie said, "I mind. And I want to know who this Capricorn fellow is anyway."

"Megs, go back to the camper please." I begged her. I didn't think she needed to know how our mother disappeared. Or who took her place in the real world.

"You two never told her?" Dusty asked surprised.

"No, I didn't feel she needed to know." Mo answered starting to get frustrated.

Dusty walked towards Meggie which made her take one step back.

"Capricorn is a person," He started.

"Villain." I corrected as he glared at me.

"A villain who enjoys the screaming of small creatures in pain and terror, it's music to his ears." Dusty took another step towards her. She took one more back, "He'd feed a baby bird to a hungry ally cat just to hear it scream."

"Dustfinger!" I warned, "Stop scaring her!"

He sighed and shrugged while walking into the camper. I walked up and Mo persuaded Meggie to come in.

"Get out of my spot, Dusty." I growled at him when I found him in MY spot.

"I don't see your name on it."

"Actually it is." I pointed behind him, "Reiley Annabel Folchart's spot. So HA!"

"Will you two stop acting like children?" Mo snapped as I pushed him out of my spot. He grunted as he hit the floor. I grinned to myself as I pulled up a blanket and fell asleep right there. I didn't even wake up to eat breakfast.

I woke to the silence. I had been lulled to sleep by the noise of the engine. Walking out I noticed a huge mansion.

"Oh joy," sarcasm dripping from my voice, "Do I really have to stay in her house? You know she hates me Mo."

"What'd you do?" Dusty asked amused.

"I really don't know." I began, "She just hates kids and that includes me."

"Well shall we start in?" Mo asked pushing on the gate.

Waiting on the doorstep was excruciating. I rocked back and forth on the balls of my feet, ready to make a break for it if need be. I heard Dustfinger chuckling under his breath as multiple death glares were sent his way. After about five minutes of waiting, a semi-old lady came out with her glasses at the end of her nose.

"Mortimer! How nice to see you!" She looked down at Meggie then to me, "You!"

"Oh, Hello Aunt Elinor. How nice to see you again." I said as perkily as I could. Oh joy, a nice vacation in hell.

Wind down

Xqulth: well here's the third chapter. Sorry if you don't like Elinor right now. I didn't really like her anyway. Once again please tell me if you think that Dusty is ooc. It'd help. A lot.

Reiley: Review!!!!! Or I'll sick Dusty's fire on you! Buhaahaha.

Dustfinger: Should I be running now?

X: Probably.

Dusty: *starts running*
