I had a comment that my story was like another one. I didn't know that. Now I'm reading that story and making sure I have no more of the same stuff. So far after the first few chapters of mine. Beginning with this one it is no longer the same. I'm making sure of that. (It isn't exactly the same anyway but it is similar.)

Casey woke up with a start when she felt two strong arms wrap around her and heard her name being moaned. She glanced over at Derek studying his face. It looked so peaceful and happy. He must have been dreaming about Casey Brewer from their English class. She's a figure skater, blond, and had a big chest. His favorite type. Casey got up and walked over to where the fire had been the night before. She looked over to the river and dug through her bag for the bar of soap that the lady had given her, and some shampoo. Apparently this world wasn't entirely old fashion after all. They didn't have phones or electronics yet, or even sofa's, but they had soap and shampoo.

Casey was satisfied with the cold water because she was getting clean. Though she couldn't waste what the witch had given her because who knew how long it would last for. She swam around in the river for a while, careful not to let herself get carried away by the river.

"Casey nice panties... the strawberries are a nice touch!" Derek teased.

"DER-EK! PUT THOSE DOWN!"Casey covered herself and threw herself into the water before she turned around. He wasn't anywhere near them. In fact they only had one strawberry on them. She had been wearing the frilly ones. Tears started uncontrollably falling from her eyes because she'd made a fool of her self. He knew only one pair of her panties because they'd been under his hockey bag once. She should have known.

"Woah... Uh... Casey! I was only kidding!" Derek didn't do tears he hated when girls cried especially Casey.

"Der... ek..." Was all Casey could get out before being consumed in sobs. Derek went over to his bag and grabbed one of the towels the Madlin gave him. He went over and put it on the shore.

"I'm going to turn around I just put a towel right by your clothes. You can tell me when you have it around you." Derek said carefully trying not to make her cry some more. He hated it when she cried, he didn't know why but it always gave him a feeling in the pit of his stomach that made him want to... Aplogize! And Derek Venturi apologized to no one. Especially not his annoying step sister. She rubbed everything in his face even when she got her license before he did.

Casey got out and wrapped the towel around her self. She was really mad at Derek but she was just going to pretend everything was okay and make him crazy wondering how she was going to get him back. Yeah that otta fix him up. She laughed to her self. Derek wouldn't suspect a thing... Maybe she shouldn't be thinking that because every time she says or thinks that he does suspect it.

"Casey... Will you come in the river and take a bath with me?" Derek asked. His face was completely serious looking. He sincerely asked her that.

"No, Derek, I think you can do that your self. You're a big boy now." Casey said sarcastically.

"Come on Case... You could have a chance to bathe with the hottest guy on the planet." Derek said.

"Derek just go take a bath so we can get moving." Casey said throwing the soap at him. Casey went and packed up the blankets and got out some food for her and Derek. "Oh and when you're done your breakfast is on your bag."

Derek looked up at her from the water. She was sitting in only her bra and panties. Both the frilly ones that she just bought at Victoria Secret last week. She must have thought she was going to meet a guy at the cabin. She looked so hot in that she looked like one of the girls from his magazine. Oh my god! Am I thinking of CASEY like that? Derek shook his head and dove under water. The cold water was sure to wash his head clean of all thoughts of THAT subject.

Casey looked at Derek swimming around in the water he looked like he was in pain for a second when their eyes met. Then he looked so care free like he wasn't worried about getting home or anything else. She peeled her self away from that and concentrated on her bread. There was no refrigeration in the wild so they had bread and dried meat. She was really upset about how Derek always tried to annoy her it was like he was a parasite. She decided to put her clothes back on now because it looked like Derek was getting out of the water.

Derek wasn't going to get the better of her. She knew his goal was to annoy her, but she wouldn't react. She had to keep her cool and not react to his silly little game. She finished putting her clothes back on and finished her bread buy the time Derek was out of the river. Casey thought about this whole thing for a second. She needed to be rational, she was mad at him over looking at her panties. She was acting as if he hadn't seen them before which he had because he living in the same house as her. He probably was just trying to make her mad over nothing.

Casey and Derek had been walking for about half a day when they came across a girl about their age. She was the same hight as Casey but she had long blond hair that fell in lose curls past her waist. She was wearing a dress that was red. Her skin was very white and she had dark circles under her ruby colored eyes. She was beautiful and looked innocent enough so Casey went up to her.

"Excuse me miss, um... Do you know where we are?" She asked the pale girl.

"Yes. Blood lust forest is the place that ye happen to stumble upon. I'm Rosalia." The girl said. Her teeth were sharp looking and they were like little pearls. "You must be from the outside. The world out side of these four walls."

"Walls?" Casey asked. Very confused she looked at Derek, he shook his head.

"Yes, we get our shampoo and soap from your world. They offered us other things that we couldn't use so we turned them down." Rosalia replied.

"Then yes we are. You quite clearly aren't human. What are you?" Casey asked warily.

"I am a vampire. But don't worry I'm not of the kind from story books. I only feast on the blood of the sick and dying." She replied. Casey took a step forward and offered her hand. Rosalia took it and shook it.

"I'll help you get around the town. My sister would eat you if she found you." Rosalia looked down.

"You're the princess' sister?" Derek asked.

"You must have talked to Madlin then, yes I am. I was cast out of the palace by my older sister for not eating people who aren't sick and dying." She replied.

"Why do you only feast on those who are dying?" Derek looked at her questioningly.

"Because I feel that taking a human life is wrong unless it is about to end soon. Its in my nature." She explained. She started to lead us past a big wall that looked like it was the one Madlin was talking about. Derek started talking a lot to Rosalia which made Casey really upset. Why does he have to hit on EVERY girl he sees but ME? I'm the one he should be hitting on not her! Casey nearly slapped herself for thinking even the slightest bit that. She was just mad that he could be such a pig in a place like this. Thats all. It was because he was a sexist pig. Yup.

Derek was having fun flirting with a beautiful vampire. Especially since she had a large chest. It was also a bonus that Casey was fuming with jealousy. The more Casey got mad the more he flirted. He was waiting to hear say "DER-EK!" He was going to have fun with this.

"DER-EK! Why do you have to try to get with every girl you meet!" Casey fumed. She couldn't hold it back any more she had to let it out. Derek wasn't going to get away with it.

"Oh is mr. Derek your boy friend miss?" Rosalia asked.

"No..." Casey hissed. She grumbled something else that neither of the others could hear.

"Then why did you get so upset?" She looked genuinely confused.

"He does this to all the girls he meets and in our world that is unacceptable." Casey said.

"Fuck Casey! Why can't you just face it! I only have intentions to get out of here! I'm not doing anything unacceptable." Derek got really mad at the fact that Casey still thought he was a player. His reaction made Casey jump back.

"Then why were you flirting?" Casey said in a sulky voice.

"I wasn't I was making her feel comfort able around us. So stop assuming things." Derek lied. Casey walked behind the other two with her head bowed she didn't know she's offended him that much but she wouldn't apologize and let her guilt get the better of her. He was DEREK after all. He always had been like that. She wasn't assuming anything. She was taking every date he's had over the last few years into consideration.
