Dana Cross

“I thought as much just by appearance alone. You resemble him quite a lot.” Both of his children did from the little Evan saw of them when they had been younger and then around Beacon Hills. “He told me he was. How is that?”

[danaonthecross]

“I’ll take that as a compliment, Mister Hearn.” Because every little girl wanted to be like their parents, she figured it was the proper thing to say and it was true, she did aspire to be like her father. She aspired to not be so weak when it came to killing. Her thoughts flashed back to Carrie once more and for the time being, she felt grateful that, as far as she knew, Evan wasn’t something supernatural or he’d hear her heart going faster. “It’s going as well as can be expected. We’re learning quickly.” She paused. “And we added onto our family. Dad let me take in a stray puppy and I named him Renegade.” She figured it was fitting, considering the life she and her family lead.

"I think you a re a little but it can work with you when you are fighting.” Daniel had always found himself to be quite impatient whereas his wife was the calmer out of the two. “I am. No need to look so surprised, you know how proud I am of you. Or at least I hope that you do.” It would be a shame if she didn’t. “Men can cook to. That isn’t something that only women should do and you should know that as a leader of this family when it comes to hunting. Women take charge. They don’t just stay in the kitchen. If you don;t get married at all I’d be okay with that. Do that and then you can get the dog some things it needs.”

“I thought impatience would be more of a hindrance...” Or maybe that was just her own misguided views. If you were too impatient, you were more prone to making mistakes, right? “I do. It’s just... It’s rare for you to voice what you’re feeling.” She said quietly, deciding to bask in the afterglow of his praise. “I know but... I like cooking. It gives me something to do when I’m not out there, killing Wendigo. I can be a leader and take care of my family, can’t I? Mom did...” As she mentioned her mother, a pang of sadness stabbed at her heart and she closed her eyes. “I wouldn’t be okay with that. I want to carry on the family legacy and I can’t do that without a husband, preferably a hunter.” Tucking the puppy under her arm, she reached for her father’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “No matter what, I want you to know that I support you.” She flashed him a smile and gave his hand another squeeze, noting how rough it was in comparison to her own smooth skin. It only served to remind her that for the time being, she had no right to be leader of the family, not when she didn’t have the proper amount of life experience.

“You know me, I need a reason to play.”

[danaonthecross]

“I’ll be your reason.”

“I wish you’d play more often, Damien.” Dana said softly, hovering in the doorway for a moment.

"I’d like you to learn new tricks but that takes time. It won’t be long, you’re already coming along so well with the Wendigos that it makes me so proud.” If only Damien was this adaptable. “No. It’s fine I always used to do the dinner when your mom went out or to pick you and Damien up after school. I’m decent. Not good but it’ll do and its better than ordering take out. Married? Who said anything about that? Before I set you up I would rather you establish yourself to the other hunter families. We can show them all you’ve got.” He hoped, and could already see, that she would become so strong. “You get his food and other things and tomorrow you and Damien can take him to get shots.”

“Maybe I’m just impatient. Am I impatient?” She hesitated and chewed on the inside of  her cheek. “You’re proud of me?” She echoed, surprise registering briefly on her face. “Are you sure, dad? I really don’t mind cooking. You could use the break and I’m the woman of the house, so...” She trailed off, a quiet chuckle slipping past her lips. “At this rate, I won’t get married until I’m your age or older.” She joked, her dark eyes twinkling with mirth. “I don’t think I have much to show just yet. I’ll get there but right now, I’m just a kid. I’m still in school.” Not to mention, there were still times she had to pull Damien’s ass out of the fire, not that she’d voice it or complain about it to the one man that expected a lot from both of his children, moreso her than Damien. “I’ll take him to Dr.Deaton right after school.”

“Drinking with a stranger…isn’t that dangerous?”

[danaonthecross]

“I’m almost positive you go to school still and unless you’re Wonder Woman and can carry somebody almost as big as you are, I’m not overly concerned... Besides, even if you had an accomplice, I know how to take care of myself. Now, do you want to drink until our lips fall off or not? And for the record, some of the best relationships, both platonic and romantic, have been started in bars.”

there was no in-between for her. it was either all or nothing. (insp.)

[archer-ally-a-deactivated201511]

“Well, the bar’s this way. Shall we?”

[danaonthecross]

“I don’t have a fake ID... I was thinking more along the lines of raiding my dad’s personal stash. I’m pretty sure he has one still.”

[newbenefactor-blog]

"Daniel’s daughter?" he asked in a quick moment of confusion.”I didn’t think you would all be here. What brings you to Beacon Hills?”

[danaonthecross]

She nodded her head. “Yes sir.” She hesitated, still managing to keep her smile present. “Dad had some business to take care of in Beacon Hills so we moved here. He’s teaching us the family business.” That seemed vague enough to her and it wasn’t a lie, which meant she could pull it off with a practiced ease.

[archer-ally-a-deactivated201511]

"I’m Allison, by the way."

[danaonthecross]

“My name’s Dana.”

[newbenefactor-blog]

"What are you doing?"

[danaonthecross]

“Mister Hearn?” Dana asked nervously, wondering if her eyes were just playing tricks on her. “I... Um, it’s Dana.”

"Care if I join you?"

[danaonthecross]

"It sort of screams pathetic when you drink alone, so sure."

[headofhunters]

"Good. I wouldn’t think it right to have to train you again at this late stage. It would be too late." His wife had always said Daniel was a bit too hard on them when it came to training but back then he very rarely did it. "I’ll make cabonara you get the dog some food."

[danaonthecross]

"It's never too late to learn new tricks, but I will agree that it's too late for me to be retrained in another specialty." Besides, they both knew the only way she'd hunt right now was if it was a Wendigo. They were bloodthirsty killing machines whose hunger was never satiated. "Are you sure? If you wait a little bit, I can help you with dinner. If you ever expect me to get married to a strapping hunter, I'll need to know how to feed him." The last sentence was, of course, her idea of a joke. "We also need to get Renegade a collar and tags and we need to see what shots he needs but I'm pretty sure that can wait until tomorrow." She cradled the puppy in her arms, lightly stroking his head.
