Recap:

Yes! I'll get to see Mick and he can help me look for Derek. How can she be such a moron that she doesn't even realize that Mick isn't actually related to dad and that he's a vampire. She should be able to tell seeing as how she has first hand experience because of dad. She's so stupid. I on the other hand have a natural talent for noticing the supernatural. I love my vampires and shapeshifters, especially the wolves. Sam Uley was always so cool to ride on.

Old life here I come!


So I officially hate airplanes. All that fucking turbulence. I'm serious my heart was in my mouth the whole time. Ugh but whatever I'm here now and that's all that matters. Now lets see where that fucking vampire is.

"Casey Ashley McDonald." Came a familiar voice behind me.

"Beth Turner." I said in the same tone. The blonde woman laughed. "So why are you here? Shouldn't you be at work right now?"

"Mick sent me to pick you up. I'm actually working on a story right now. I'm on my way over to investigate. Mick is going to meet up with us there."

"Mick forgot, didn't he? He forgot and since you were close by he asked you to pick me up at the last minute." I stated more than asked. Beth looked down almost sheepish.

"He didn't forget he was just preoccupied." She supplied with a slightest of blushes on her cheeks.

"With wh- Ooooh. Really Beth are you serious! My god you and Mick finally had sex!" I screamed at which she turned a bright scarlet. Maybe I shouldn't have screamed, quite a few people were staring at us because of the outburst.

"Why don't we talk about this in the car so I don't embarrass you again?"

"Yes please." she mumbled so low that if it wasn't for the fact that, as CAM, I have trained with vampires to sharpen my senses. Once we had seated ourselves in the car Beth started the conversation up again.

"To answer that question yes. Although why I'm telling you that little detail I have no idea."

"You're telling me because you know that since I'll be living with Mick I would find out somehow. Or if you hadn't of told me you know that Josef would have enjoyed making it known to me."

"I hate you because that is completely true."

"Yeah well, when you've known those two practically your whole life you sort of get to know them. You also pick up on exactly how their minds work. Which in Josef's case is actually quite disturbing." She laughed at that.

"I can almost imagine what he'd be thinking about. Sex, his freshies, sex, money, sex, and what am I missing-oh yeah sex!" We laughed at the predictability of the inner workings of Josef Kostan's mind.

"Well on to more serious things, what exactly has been going on that got you kicked out of your mother's house?" Beth inquired. I had known this was coming which is why I had spent the better half of the seven hour flight trying to find exactly how to word the situation.

"So you remember the time I called and told you I was in love with someone I shouldn't have been." She nodded. "Well after that I tried to put some distance between us but there was only so much space I could actually put between us. And then I just fell even more in love with him. I promise." At this point I was nearly hysterical and Beth seemed to notice as she put her hand on my leg. "But when I got to know him, he was so sweet and kind and funny. We got along so well. We were the perfect match. We completed each other. Where he was a slob, I was a neat freak. Where he was rude, I was nice. Where he was a procrastinator, I was studious. We were complete opposites but we made up for each others faults. Then just when I thought about actually telling him he left. He left the whole family and left behind a letter for each of us. In mine it said… he loved me. I'm in love with my stepbrother and he's in love with me. So I have to find him." The tears that had been falling had vanished and an inferno was smoldering within the depths of my soul. After a few seconds of silence I answered an unasked question that hung in the air with the bomb I had just dropped.

"For the time being I am Cam, no one will stand in my way, no human, vampire or shapeshifter will stand in my way." The rest of the ride was filled with my silent brooding and occasional questions Beth would make which I would answer truthfully.

Casey is nice. Cam is mean. Sandra is the levelheaded one. It probably seems as if I have multiple personality disorder but I don't Sandra is who I really am. Cam was who I was to tick mom off, and Casey was the cover for my past in the Venturi home and who I would pull out when I would get in trouble with the cops. Cam and Casey are polar opposites. Casey is the extreme of the 'goody-goody' whereas Cam as the extreme of the 'troubled child'. I hope that when I find Derek he won't be mad I wasn't the real me. And I say when because I will find him.


A.N. Sorry it took so long to update winter break couldn't get on a computer and know I'm being kicked out of my house and my teachers don't seem to let me catch a break so you can imagine howstressed I am.
