Here is chapter 2, to this story. I hope everyone enjoys!

Derek awoke the next morning and groaned when he rolled over in his bed and found the Book of Spells. Why does this have to happen to me? Derek crawled out of bed and headed for the kitchen to make him a bowl of cereal. Once in the kitchen he noticed the rest of the family already awake and dressed for the day.

"Happy Birthday Derek!" Marti yelled as she ran up to Derek to give him a hug.

"Yeah Happy Birthday big bro!" Edwin said. "Ed. Cereal. Now." Derek commanded as he sat down at the table. He glanced over and saw Casey watching him, but when they caught eyes, she looked away quickly. "Derek, did you do something with your hair?" George asked.

"No, his hair looks exactly the same George. Messy, and uncombed just like always." Casey answered.

"I work hard for this hair Case, not many people can pull it off."

"Not many people? Try none, it looks hideous."

Derek stared at her for a minute before retaliating. "Are you still mad because I said you couldn't go to the party tonight?"

Casey scoffed, "No I could care less about your little party. I am glad I am not going."

"Derek, you told Casey she couldn't go?" Nora asked as she walked into the kitchen. "Well at first I did, but I changed my mind and told her she could."

"I don't want to go." Casey said again as she walked away from the table and went to the refrigerator to get a bottled water.

"Here you go Derek, a fresh bowl of cereal." Edwin said as he placed the bowl right in front of Derek. "Hey you forgot the spoon!" Derek yelled to Edwin who had already left the room. He was on his way back when he stopped dead in his tracks. He noticed a spoon fly across the room and drop just feet in front of the table. "Derek! Did you see that? I think our house is haunted!!" Edwin yelled into the living room. This caused the rest of the family to make their way into the kitchen to see what all the commotion was about. All the while Derek noticed his father watching his every move with a sly grin forming, showing a hint of his teeth. "Derek, could I speak with you, alone?" George asked, and the rest of the family left the kitchen.

"Our house isn't haunted is it Derek?" George asked.

"Um, I don't think so." Derek replied.

"So the legend is true then? You have magical powers, don't you?"

"Legend?"

"Yes, but lets go to you room and talk about this."

The two eldest Venturi's made their way up the stairs and to Derek's room. Once inside George closed the door and turned the lock. "So you know about what's happening to me?" Derek asked.

"Well, sort of. I heard the story from your Great Grandfather, just before he passed away. He was already going kind of crazy, so I didn't know whether or not to believe him."

"What all did he tell you Dad?" Derek asked getting more comfortable in his computer chair. "Well, he said that if I ever had children, then the first born boy would receive magical powers. I thought he was just talking crazy, but I guess it's true."

"So Edwin will never get these powers?"

"I am not sure, he only said first born boy." George answered. He saw the Book of Spells lying on Derek's bed and picked it up. "How did you get this?" He asked.

"When I fell asleep last night, some weird old guy appeared to me in my dream. He said that he was giving me this gift, and I had to sign this book, where our family had signed many times before me, saying that I would use this for good, and not evil. Once I was done I woke up and this book was here." Derek answered honestly. "Oh yeah, and we can't let Nora, Lizzie or Casey know about it. They could be in danger if you ever split up."

"So did he explain why you get it?"

"It's passed down every fourth generation. So that's why I get it because your Granddad had it."

"Okay, well let's keep this a secret. I mean it Derek." George said sternly. "Now let's get going." He said as he opened the door and walked out.

"Casey, are you ready to go?" Derek yelled from his bedroom door.

"I told you Derek I am not going to your stupid party."

Derek smirked, and looked at himself one more time in the mirror before leaving his bedroom. "I know you are dressed to go tonight, so just admit that you want to go. I'll meet you down in the car in five."

In the other room, Casey looked at herself in the mirror. She had her hair in soft curls and her make up was perfect. She smiled to herself before she left her room to meet Derek.

The party was at a Joey's house, a friend of Derek's from hockey. His parents allowed him to throw the party, even though they knew there would most likely be alcohol involved. Derek drove up to the street and heard the music coming from the house with out even rolling down the windows in the car. "I told you Case, you wouldn't want to miss this. Everyone is here."

"Oh joy." Casey said sarcastically.

"You know what; I didn't have to invite you." Derek said angrily as he parked his car.

"I honestly don't know why you did. You only did it out of pity."

"Actually I did it because I knew you wanted to come." Derek said as he moved his hand up to pull the keys out of the ignition. Before his hands touched the keys, they flew out and fell onto the floorboard.

"Whoa! How did you do that?" Casey asked sitting up in her seat trying to figure out how the keys got to the ground without Derek touching them.

"Do what? I didn't do anything. Nothing at all." Derek replied nervously.

"Okay, I know what I saw Derek, and somehow--"

"You didn't see anything Casey. Just drop it okay?" Derek said with sincerity in his tone. Derek picked up the keys and placed them in his jacket pocket and got out of the car. He didn't waste anytime to get into the party and get away from Casey and her prying ways. Once inside everyone hooted and hollered at Derek, yelling that the Birthday Boy was there.

The party was a real hit, everyone appeared to be having fun, except Casey. Derek tried to ignore it, but seeing her miserable kept bugging him. He walked over to the couch Casey was sitting on and sat down next to her. She looked up and glared at him.

"What is this seat taken?" Derek asked with a smirk.

"No it's not." Casey answered, and then looked away.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing really, just thinking I guess."

"Thinking about what Casey?" Derek asked honestly.

"Everything. I don't know, I guess I am just not in the mood for a party." She answered.

"Do you want something to drink? Maybe then you will have a little bit more fun." Derek said.

"Alcohol? I don't think so!" Casey said as she stood up from the couch and started to walk away. Derek got up quickly to stop her. "Casey wait, don't leave. Come on, I was only kidding." Casey stopped and stood for a second and turned around. "Ahh, see I knew you would come around." Derek said as he raised his arms up. But doing so caused the stereo system to come crashing down on the floor. Casey noticed that this happened with exact movements of his arms and gave Derek a confused look. Everyone in the party began looking around trying to figure out how the stereo fell down. Derek took Casey by the arm, "We need to go. Now."
