Hey there. I'm Carter! I recently became a vampire, something I'm still getting used to. But I think I'm getting the hang of it. My husband is the Alpha of the werewolves, kind of like a king, I guess. Which I suppose makes me a queen. I'm far from being queen-like though. I've still got a lot of growing up to do.

Under the Weather || Hana and Carter

Hana turned her head to look at Carter as she put the towel around her shoulders. She clasped it tight around her, nodding. “Just shaken up, I guess. I’m okay.” She smiled a bit, trying to be reassuring. She stood quietly when the thunder rumbled again, listening. She used to like thunder, when she was little, unlike all the other kids. She used to want to run out in the rain while it was storming, but now she had other feelings. “Thank you again, Carter. I’m sorry for … intruding.”

"You're not intruding," Carter assured her, brushing a strand of wet hair off Hana's forehead to tuck behind her ear. She smiled. "Here," she said then, moving to the dresser to pull out some pajama bottoms and a t-shirt that was obviously Zach's as it was much too big for Carter. She handed them both to Hana. "Here, change into these. You'll be a lot more comfortable." She smiled at the girl reassuringly.

Hana looked up the stairs, moving up the first few warily. She felt like she was only intruding further, but she made her way up the stairs anyway, hand on the railing. Her clothes were soaked, and she was dripping a trail of water as she went. She tried to control her dripping, but it was a bit of a challenge. Hana felt like the rain had soaked through to her bones, and her teeth chattered slightly. She clamped her jaw tight, trying to stop the shivering as she entered Carter and Zach’s room. She felt awkward, being in there, and she felt awkward taking Carter’s clothes without direction, so she stood there for a minute, hugging herself.

Carter spoke to Zach, but of course her husband was fine with them housing Hana until the storm passed. She made her way up the stairs to tell Hana, stopping short when she saw the girl just standing there shivering.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked, going to the bathroom to get a towel, moving back to wrap it around Hana's shoulders. The thunder made the house rattle some, but it was well built and so nothing splintered. Carter hoped it held throughout the hurricane.

Hana let Carter guide her to her own home. The house that Carter shared with Zach, Hana knew. She felt like she was intruding, a bit. They probably didn’t want a wet, dull, teenage werewolf being brought into their home. On the other side, Hana didn’t want Carter to worry about her. She didn’t want anyone to worry about her. It was nice being treated like someone’s younger sister, like their family, but she felt like she’d just waltzed into all of their lives, demanding attention and help. “Thank you.” She said to Carter, smiling a bit through the rain.

"You don't have to thank me," Carter assured her with a small smile. She led her into the house then, struggling with the door some before shutting it. "Here, go on upstairs and get some of my clothes to change into. I'll talk to Zach about letting you stay here until the storm is up." She directed Hana to the stairs then, gesturing up them and giving Hana a tiny push.

Under the Weather || Hana and Carter

Hana felt stupid, now that she thought over her plan from earlier that day. “I wasn’t thinking.” She said, not bothering to yell out that sentence. Things whipped past them. Branches, garbage, clothes from people’s clothes lines, and Hana swore she saw a mailbox whip past, smashing into a tree and continuing on it’s way. They were in the pack’s neighborhood now, and Hana knew her home wasn’t too far away. She stopped a bit, squinting at Carter through the rain. “I can get home from here fine! You don’t need to keep helping me!” She yelled, shaking her head.

"No way," Carter exclaimed, shaking her head. "I'm taking you home so I can keep an eye on you, keep you safe!" She steered Hana toward the house she shared with Zach, not about to let the young werewolf out of her sight. Ever since she'd found the girl wandering into Sunnybrooke she felt somewhat responsible for her. Carter had always wanted a younger sibling, and she kind of felt like Hana could fill that role . . . if the girl wanted to, at least.

Hana nodded, thankful that Carter had found her, thankful that she didn’t have to wait this out alone in a shed. “I-I was just walking! I wanted to make sure Alexis was okay!” She said, keeping her eyes squeezed tight against the rain, trusting Carter to lead her somewhere safe. She spluttered, the rain getting in her mouth as she spoke, despite Carter shielding her. Her heart was still racing, though she felt a strange and misplaced sense of calm as they trudged through the hurricane.

"Honey, you need to take care of yourself first! I'm sure she's fine!" Carter yelled over the noise. She had no idea who Alexis was really, but she hoped the girl would be okay for Hana's sake.

Carter helped guide Hana back toward the werewolf neighborhood, going carefully and slowly to avoid flying objects, but purposefully to ensure they got there. She thought about picking up the girl and just using her vampire speed, but she knew if they got hit by something Hana could get hurt. So she just continued to trudge on.

Hana jumped a bit when the door burst open, heart racing. “Carter!” She exclaimed when she recognized the figure standing in the doorway, rain dripping off of them in cascades. The wave of relief she felt lasted only for a second, as she caught sight of the storm going on being Carter. She stood up from her tiny hiding spot, using the wall behind her as support. The wind whipped into her tiny spot through the open door, knocking a few cans off of the shelves and blowing Hana’s hair around viciously. She ducked a bit when the cans fell, though they didn’t hit her.

“I didn’t know what to do!” She yelled, the panic evident in her voice. She knew Carter would have been able to hear her fine, even with the wind and rain, but she couldn’t keep her voice down as her fear rose. The inside of the shed was soaked now, the rain was pouring in at almost a horizontal angle, stinging a bit as it hit Hana’s skin.

"It's okay!" Carter yelled over the thunder and rain and wind. She made her way over to Hana, wrapping her arm around her. "I'm taking you back to my place! What were you even doing out here?" She guided Hana back to the door, walking a little in front of her in order to take the brunt of the wind and rain and shield Hana as best she could. As long as the wind didn't drive a stake through her, Carter was pretty sure she'd be okay.

It hadn’t taken much for Hana to decide that trying to find out if Alexis and her dad were okay in the middle of a storm was a terrible idea, and that she needed to find shelter. When the rain had really started coming down, almost like a wall of water, she’d ducked inside someone’s concrete shed in their backyard. She knew full well that it wasn’t the safest place to be, but considering the weight of the concrete, she was confident that it wouldn’t blow away, and she really didn’t have the time to look for anywhere else.

She sat hunkered in between a lawn mower and a plastic bin, her knees hugged to her chest. Her clothes were still damp, despite having been in the shed for a while. She had a couple plastic bins pushed up against the door, hoping that the wind wouldn’t find the right direction to blast it open. She chewed on her lip, worrying about the pack, and about all the people she’d met in the last couple weeks. She sniffed, hugging her legs closer, glad that the shed sat on a concrete slab instead of right on the ground.

The storm was getting worse and Carter was starting to worry about the others in the pack, specifically Hana. The girl seemed like such a delicate creature, and Carter had sort of taken a personal interest in her ever since she came across the girl stumbling into Ditto Town, bloodied from her werewolf attack.

"I'm going out to find Hana," she told Zach, ignoring his protests as she pulled on a raincoat and pulled the hood up over her head. "I'll be fine," she said, kissing his cheek before heading out into the torrential rain. She could barely see, but being a vampire helped some. She made her way over to Hana's place, frowning when she realized no one was home. Where could she be?

It took a little while, but finally Carter came across a shed. Someone was inside. She could smell them now. They smelled familiar, though it was hard to tell who it was with all the rain. She pushed open the door, the wind almost tearing it off its hinges. "Hello? Who's in here?" she called, trying to see through the rain dripping in her eyes.

I'm craving chicken nuggets.

I don’t know…

Oh. Well, it's up to you, hon. Just let me know, okay?

I'm craving chicken nuggets.

I’m ready. Promise.

Do you want me to check in on you before the moon rises?

I'm craving chicken nuggets.

Me? You don’t have to be. I don’t have a choice. I guess I have to be ready.

Well, I'd like to know that you're safe at least . . .

I'm craving chicken nuggets.

I guess so.

I'm very glad to hear it. I've been a little worried about you. Do you think you're ready for the next full moon?

I'm craving chicken nuggets.

I guess that makes sense.

So how are you, Hana? Are you settling in well?

I'm craving chicken nuggets.

Really? I guess you’re a pretty prominent figure in the steakhouse community then, huh?

Well, when you're the wife of the Alpha, they kind of have to cater to you.

I'm craving chicken nuggets.

They’re just so good. And delicious.

Whitmore's Steakhouse has some pretty good ones, if I remember. If you tell them I sent you I'm sure you'll get some for free.
