Surprise! Two chapters in one day! From last chapter on there will be tid bits of back at the cabin. Enjoy!

Morning greeted the two harshly with rain. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't so hard. That would definitely set them back at day. They couldn't walk in it because in this place along with rain comes hail. And not normal hail, the kind that is the size of tennis balls. Casey sighed as she looked at the chunk of hail that rolled in their hallow tree. The tree was really big, there was a giant hole the size of a door in the front, and on the side there was a round hole. The inside had room for them to set up a bed and there was about three feet by three feet of extra space that they could use. Casey crawled over and set up a fire in the extra space.

"Casey... nhmm..." Derek moaned still asleep. Casey glared at him. This was starting to get on her nerves. It had been a two weeks since they left Madlin's house and every night or morning Derek moaned her name in his sleep usually it woke her because he would grab her and hold her tightly. She wanted to know what his dreams were but wouldn't Dare to ask. They would have to spend who knows how long in this dingy little tree and maybe not even make it past the storm.

"nhmmmm... Caaaaaseyyyy" Derek moaned. Casey was in a really bad mood so she took off her boot and threw it at him.

"Ow, what was that for!" Derek screamed.

"You moaned my name in your sleep, you disgusting PIG!" Casey said. Going back to making her fire. Tears started to fall silently from her eyes as she worked. Derek sat up and watched her. SHIT! I said it out loud in my sleep! He thought.

"I didn't moan YOUR name. I moaned Casey Brewer's name." Derek scoffed. Casey sighed and went back to her little fire. Derek looked out the opening of the tree and saw that there were giant hail balls all over the ground. He also saw that it had stopped hailing and was just lightly raining now.

"Case... Its not hailing anymore and I don't want to be jammed in here with YOU. So lets go." Derek observed. Casey put the fire out and started packing. She wasn't going to talk to him or really listen to him unless he had a good Idea in which case she'd fallow out and pretend it was hers. They left shortly after that without saying a word to one another. Derek after about half a day of walking was starting to wonder what he'd done to make her so mad. He ran up and pulled her hair then ran ahead. When he didn't get a reply he started running back ward. He wasn't paying attention and tripped on his own feet acting more like Casey than him self and fell into the river hitting his head on a rock in the process.

Casey grabbed him pulling him and their now wet blankets and stuff out of the water. She shoved their stuff out of the way and pulled Derek over her lap to see if he was still breathing. He was still breathing but not very steadily and it didn't seem like he was going to wake up soon. She searched the area until she spotted the first cave. She first pulled Derek into the cave then went to get their stuff. She sat in frozen silence looking around the room. The cave wasn't very deep but it was enough to keep them dry for the time being. The cave was un-cave-like there were no rock formations or any other things that were usually in caves. She started to drift off to sleep and finally fifteen minutes later she was out like a light.

Derek woke up freezing and sore. He sat up to see a sleeping Casey on the other side of the room. It was too dark to tell exactly what room they were in. So he crawled over to her and positioned himself so that he would warm her up. She looked like she was freezing with goose bumps lining her bare arms. Derek snuggled up to her in hopes of warming her up. He knew she could explain what was going on when she woke up which was apparently not going to be for quite some time. He counted the seconds that passed by until he felt movement under him. He looked down and sure enough Casey's eye's were open and she was giving him a disgusted look.

"DER-EK! GET OFF OF ME!" Casey screamed.

"Casey! Calm down! You were cold and I was warming you up!" Derek replied.

"Well don't. Its your fault we're stuck in this stupid cold cave anyway. You dropped the blankets in the river and passed out! Now we have to sleep in the cold." Casey replied answering one of Derek's many questions.

"How did we get into this... Cave?" Derek asked.

"Derek did you hit your head?" Casey looked at him.

"No... I uh... Forgot." Derek replied.

"Well its winter so its cold and you being Derek dropped our stuff in the river so its all wet. Then you passed out and I dragged you here in the beginning of a blizzard." Casey pointed to the blankets that were out on the ground.

"Casey how where is the exit to this cave?" Derek asked hoping she wouldn't say the white area at the end of the cave.

"The white area at the end of the cave." Casey replied. Derek slapped his head.

"How long is the blizzard supposed to last?" Derek was now frantic.

"A month. We would have missed it if it wasn't for you starting arguments with me." Casey's eyes started to fill up with tears. She pushed him back and ran across the cave. He couldn't controll himself any longer

"CASEY! Why the HELL are you being a such a FUCKING drama queen in a situation like this! I mean look around. We have to comfort one-another to stay sane in this fucking hell hole but you're pushing me away! When we get out of here we can fight how ever much we want but now we NEED to get along to SURVIVE!" Derek exploded. His anger wasn't directed at her more at the fact that he lost his perfect world in the blink of an eye. Or rather the end of a good dream. He loved Casey there was no denying that but why couldn't she damn well feel the same. This made her sobs more intense. Derek gave up and sat in the corner singing to him self a song that Casey taught him in his dream. Casey walked over to him and sat a foot away.

"Derek... did you write that?" Casey asked.

"Sort of... It was in my dream. But in my dream you wrote it." Derek replied.

"Firgures. Even in YOUR dreams I... I was in your dream?" Casey's eye's suddenly widened.

"Yes you were. You have been for a while. But I don't want to talk about that." Derek noted.

"Derek... Y'know we might not be stuck in this cave for a month if you had told me that back in the tree." Casey murmured. Derek's head shot up when he heard that.

"What?" Derek questioned.

"You tripped after I didn't react to you pulling my hair, Remember? Well that fight was started because you said it was Casey Brewer you were dreaming about." Casey looked at her feet.

"You were upset about that?"

"Yes! She's so YOU!" Casey screeched. Derek put his hands up defensively and backed away. "Why can't you not be a womanizer for one second!"

Derek was really upset now, he practically told Casey how he felt and she rejected him. Which is why he didn't say how he felt about her. Derek thought about it for a second. Then realized it didn't matter if they got together here or not because George and Nora would never let them be together. The were step siblings and to their parents that was probably wrong. Derek shook the thought of their parents fining them out, out of his head. A realization hit him at that point, they may never even get home for their parents to yell at the thing that is at this point only one sided. Derek slid down and put his hands under his head.

"What is your head throbbing from thinking too much?" Casey taunted.

"Casey! Did you ever think that maybe I am actually capable of being as smart or smarter than you if I tried. I don't so stop making smart ass comments about things like my intelligence." Derek hissed.
