25 Unicorn Street- Saturday morning

[throughaphase]

It wasn't a surprise for Kitty to spend the night over at Clint's or anything. Though normally she didn't wake up the next morning as Hayley, next to a guy she didn't know. She wasn't too worried about that, though. Mostly just annoyed at herself since that kind of thing was what had gotten her into her whole current mess to begin with.

She wasn't even that careful about trying not to wake him up. She just sat up and started looking for her clothes and trying to figure out where she was.


[Kitty is now Hayley from the Originals/TVD, for all your werewolf/vampire needs. For the guy who's not the normal guy!]

Hansel was used to sleeping on the floor - so many places they stayed only had one bed, and of course he gave it to Gretel - so having a mattress under him when he woke was nice. Realizing that there was someone else in the bed was less nice, and he probably failed at not looking nervous. "Uh, good morning," he said casually.

[throughaphase]

"Could be worse," Hayley said, looking over her shoulder at him. "Who are you?"

[so_hawkward]

Hansel was slightly insulted, but also relieved that they apparently hadn't exchanged names and he hadn't just forgotten hers. "My name's Hansel. What's yours?" he asked. He laid back a little and admired the sight of her, because she wasn't half bad herself.

[throughaphase]

"Hayley," she said, standing up to get what she thought might be her shirt and putting it on. Wasn't like she cared what he saw. "Is this your place?"

[so_hawkward]

"No, I don't think so," Hansel said, looking around. "I don't really have a place."

When there was a scratching sound at the door, Hansel sat up straighter and moved between Hayley and the noise. "What was that?"

[throughaphase]

"Nothing that can't be handled," Hayley said, pretty casually, more worried about getting her jeans on. If it was something trying to kill them, well, she was nice and scary these days. (Sigh.)

[so_hawkward]

"You sound like you know how to handle yourself," Hansel said, smirking at her as he got out of bed. He found his pants on the floor, among a lot of strange clothes, and pulled his pants on before approaching the door. On the other side, the scratching turned to scratching and whining. "If this isn't my home, is it yours?"

[throughaphase]

"Mine's a hell of a lot more screwed up," Hayley said, but the scratching and whining had her intrigued. "Probably, anyway. Open it up."

It would not surprise her if there was a hurt werewolf on the other side of it.

Hansel didn't know what he was expecting, but two cute, seemingly innocent dogs were not it. He also wasn't expecting them to run straight for him, barking and jumping happily. "Whoa! Down! Stay!" he said, frantically waving his hands.

[throughaphase]

"They're just dogs," Hayley said, kneeling down to get more on their level. Hopefully they didn't react too weird to her. She really had no idea if she'd smell funny to them or not since becoming a hybrid. "Say hi."

[so_hawkward]

"You don't know if they're just dogs. They could be attack dogs," Hansel said as the bigger dog licked his hand. "Or not. Maybe."

Lucky and Rook, for their part, just saw Clint and Kitty, even if they did smell funny.

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, look at them, they're downright vicious," Hayley said, raising an eyebrow.

[so_hawkward]

"Are they yours? You never know how vicious something is until it tries to eat and kill you," Hansel insisted. "I guess they are kind of cute."

[throughaphase]

"These are not the kinds of dogs that kill and eat people," Hayley assured him, standing straight again. "I don't have any dogs. They probably belong to whoever lives here."

Whoever that was. Maybe she got drunk and killed the home's owners before bringing a guy back there and that's why she didn't remember anything? Didn't exactly sound like her, but she didn't have any other theories.

[so_hawkward]

"I wonder what happened to the person who lives here," Clint said, looking around. It didn't look like a witch's lair, so he didn't think he'd killed the owner, and he wouldn't have stuck around if he had. "Do you remember how we got here?"

If he left Gretel behind somewhere, she was going to be pissed.

[throughaphase]

"No clue. I guess I could try to make the most awkward call home ever..." Ah, nothing like telling your babydaddy and his brother that you'd made out with that you were in a strange house with some guy named Hansel.

Not that any phone she found would be any help, but.

[so_hawkward]

"Call home how?" Hansel asked, eying her carefully. "I think I need to find my sister."

[throughaphase]

"With a phone..." she said slowly. It felt like she spent half her life calling somebody or other to tell them somebody else was in trouble. "You have a sister?"

[so_hawkward]

"Yes, her name is Gretel. I don't suppose you know where she is?" Hansel said. He didn't know what the hell a phone was, but he didn't know if mentioning that right now would help him or not.

[throughaphase]

"Never heard of her," Hayley said. "Maybe she's in the house somewhere."

Which given how they woke up, would be weird.

[so_hawkward]

"How big could this place be? I think if she was here, she would have heard us by now," Hansel said, looking back at Hayley as his expression softened. "I'm sorry, I don't usually do this sort of thing. Wake up next to a woman I don't know, I mean. Usually I wake up and my sister is there. Not that you weren't a nice surprise because you're very pretty." He closed his mouth before any more words could come out because ugh, talking yo women sucked.

[throughaphase]

Hayley decided not to touch the 'I wake up and my sister is there' thing.

"Yeah, well, I wouldn't make a habit of waking up with strangers. That way only leads to trouble," she said, though there was some sympathy there. Since, you know, she knew firsthand and now her life was terrible and she would not be getting over that anytime soon.

[so_hawkward]

"Well, you won't have any trouble this time, I promise. I end trouble, not start it," Hansel assured her.

[throughaphase]

There were a whole lot of really bitter comments she could make about that, but Hayley stopped herself from making them. Mostly because this poor guy seemed like he really did mean well.

"Well, that's... good to know, I guess," she decided. "I'll remember that if that's what's going on here."

[so_hawkward]

"Absolutely. If you run into trouble, just come and find me." Once he was fully dressed, of course. "I uh, I mean, thank you for last night. I'm sure it was fun."

[throughaphase]

"It's one of the things I do well," Hayley said dryly.
