Well then, this is officially my third fanfiction, and let me tell you something. I'm not a mega freak with this show, it's just I enjoyed watching the series, and I got really into werewolves since then. That and I liked the idea of this story, well actually I like the title better.

Chapter 1

"How long are you going to be gone for?" I asked looking up at my brother, with my biggest puppy dog eyes possible. The truth was, I couldn't blame him, and there are many here that we both would rather just forget. "Sorry to leave you like this," replied Derek not answering my question, "but, there are other things that I want to do in my life then be here." The truth is, I can't blame him this place is filled with many horrific events that haunt nightmares of children, causing the parents to rush in at full speed to calm their freighted child. But we, my brother and I only had each other, and now I was losing him. As much as I wanted to fight with him on this subject, I didn't want to sound like that scared child that I once was. I don't need anyone to make me feel better, or to comfort me, not any longer. That's what I tell myself.

"Fine," I said crossing my arms and turning away, "If that's what you want." Feelings of guilt arose inside him, and shown as bright as the stars, whenever he would be in an uncomfortable position, he would stick his hands into his pocket. Still he kept perfect eye contact with me. Whenever he tried to act tough like that many people would become a little intimidated by his big muscular frame, but not me. I grew up with him and for a long time he wasn't always like this. Several years ago, a fire consumed our family's house, killing everyone in there, with the exception of our uncle who has been in a coma ever since. This had scarred him very deeply, while I tried to be strong and not let it bother me, or at least on the surface.

"Just don't forget what I told you." I told him.

"Forget what?"

"To stop acting like such a tough ass, it makes you seem really naïve."

At first a small look of confusion crossed his face, followed by a grim, stern frown, and then finally became a smile. Letting out a small laugh, his whole face lit up, as he closed his eyes, and let his head fall back. Recovering from that, his head fell back into place, the laughing stopped but the smile remained.

"Fine, only you promise me something."

"What's that?"

"You promise that while I'm gone, you won't get yourself killed?" raising an eyebrow at me in a questioning fashion.

"Fine, you keep yours and I'll keep mine."

Taking out the key to his cars, Derek finally got into his car, the engine roared to life, the tires gripping the road, until it pulled the weight of the car forward. The tail lights shined, looking like red butterflies that danced behind it. Then the car stopped, Derek opened the door, and started to run towards me. Enclosing his arms around me, pressing me against his chest, I always liked the warmth that came from his body. Whenever I would have a nightmare, before my parents or anyone could reach me, he would burst into my room. Rapping his arms around my body, he would stroke my hair lightly, until I had calm down, and to make sure I was alright, he would leave my side, not until I was back asleep again.

"Don't worry Laura; I'll be back soon, I just want some time to think a little." I never wanted to leave that spot, I just want for time to stand still, and stay this way forever. But it can't be this way; I too need to get my thoughts together. Pushing away my naivety, I worked my way out of his grip. "Don't worry Derek; I'm a big girl now, I want brother to enjoy the rest of his life and not live in the past." I replied looking into his ocean blue eyes. Starting his stride back to his car, a smile stayed on our lips, "Alright, see you when I get back." I continued to wave until the car was no longer in sight, no looking back, no short stops; it was time that we got out of here. The smile vanished from my face, because I knew that there was no time. Setting aside any mixed feelings about the last of my family go, I knew that there were other matters to a dress. Such as the one of who burned down our house?
