"Erica"

***

"We're gonna get arrested." 

 "No we're not." 

Ollie and Katrin pratically sprinted through the pristine halls of the hospital, dodging around the occasional nurse as they ran to the elevator, Ollie smacking right into the wall as Katrin furiously pressed the buttons. "Up! Up, up, up!" She urged, pressing on the third floor button with increasing intensity. The doors slid shut at an excruciatingly slow pace, making Ollie groan. 

 "You'd think that a hospital elevator would be faster!" He complained, "what if I was having a seizure right now?" 

 "Then you would die because of these goddamn elevators!" Katrin smacked the tough metal, before immediately wincing and cradling her fist to her chest. "Ow."  

 "Are you sure they would bring Erica here?" Ollie asked, the door of the elevator opening and the teens speed-walking out. "This hospital is huge, she could be anywhere." 

 "She has epilepsy, Ol, which is a neurological condition." Katrin sighed deeply, "this is the neuro ward, she would have been brought here first to be looked over." 

 Ollie nodded, hoping that his fake confidence was enough to make his cousin not realize that he didn't even know 'neurological' was a word. He would blame it on English not being his first language, but deep down he knew that it was just because he was a dumbass. 

 "Ollie? Katrin?" 

 Ollie whipped his head around, worry spiking his chest when he saw Melissa McCall staring back at them, having just exited out of a door to their left. She walked over, a kind smile on her face as she put a welcoming hand on Ollie's bicep, "hey guys, shouldn't you be in school?" 

 "Hi, Melissa." He grinned awkwardly, glancing over at Katrin, who looked as if she was preparing herself to turn and run away. "We just came to see if Erica's okay." 

 "Well, she's a bit rattled, but she'll be okay." Melissa glanced over at the door, sighing deeply and brushing her ponytail over her shoulder. "I think it's more of just embarassment than actual pain." 

 "Yeah, if I had a seizure in front of my class I would be pretty pissed," Katrin mused, earning a punch on the shoulder from her cousin. She looked up, blinking innocently. "Damn-it, was that insensitive? I can barely tell anymore." 

 "Well, if you guys want to see her, I suppose that would be okay." Melissa smiled, pointing to the door she had come out of previously. "Just don't take too long, and try not to be in there when the doctor comes, they would kill me." 

 "We wouldn't want that," Ollie grinned, tipping an imaginary hat to Melissa as he walked past, "thank you!" 

 "Yeah, thanks Mo-" Katrin quickly caught her mistake, "McCall, Missus McCall, Scott's mom." 

 Ollie turned to shoot her a perplexed look as the woman disappeared down the hall. "Did you just call Melissa 'mom?'"

 "What? No! Shut up!" Katrin scowled at him as Oliver laughed, pushing the door open. 

 "Aw, that's so sweet of you Kat."

 "I hate you." 

"Oliver?" A soft voice called, and Ollie froze as he stared into the darkened room. He honestly didn't know what to do for a brief moment, he just stood there; desparately wishing that he had brought his baseball bat. 

 Derek Hale stared back at him, one hand on the gurney that Erica laid on, and one by his side, claws outstretched. For a second, nobody moved. Ollie narrowed his eyes, holding Derek's stare as he curled his hand into a fist, taking a half-step in front of his cousin. It was Erica who spoke originally, and she was looking between the three as if she couldn't believe her eyes. 

 "Don't do this," The Sanchez boy warned, taking a step forward. He turned to Erica, "Whatever he said to you, don't believe it. Whatever he offered you will only make your life worse." 

 "Yeah, he's on crack or something." Katrin piped up, holding her purse in her hand as she dug through it, pulling out a familiar object and making Ollie slap a hand over his forehead. "Derek, you're hot and all, but I swear to god I will shoot you just like I shot your bitchass cousin-" 

 "He wasn't my cousin." 

 "Do I look like I give a fuck?" She waved the crossbow around, making Ollie jump to try and avoid it's crosshairs. "There may not be any arrows here because I used them all, but I will still beat your hot skull in if you don't get the hell away." 

 "Katrin, seriously?" Ollie demanded in an annoyed tone, before turning back to Derek and walking forward until they were almost face-face. "She may be a weirdo, but she's not wrong. Don't ruin someone else's life, Derek." 

 "Oh, did I ruin your life?" The man taunted, sneering. "Because you were the way you were way before I came into the picture. I may have helped activate your sight, Sanchez, but it's not my fault." 

 "Well Isaac was your fault!" He snapped, raising his voice and praying that no doctors could hear him. "You turned him! You did that, Derek! You did!"

 "Okay," Katrin took a step forward, gently tugging Ollie back by his wrist. "Call the anger managment police, Sanchez, we can't get caught here screaming or you'll have to go to a different hospital the next time you get beat up." 

Her gaze fell back to Erica, her eyes dimming as she tightened her hold around her cousin's wrist. Ollie almost asked her what was wrong, a pang of uncertainty echoing around in his stomach as he saw that Katrin almost looked... sad. 

"Besides," She said, her voice hollow with a dull form of resignation. "We're too late." 

 It was only then that Ollie truly looked at Erica, and he could feel his heart dropping down to his stomach as he did. Because there, on her shoulder, was a gaping red wound. 

 A bite mark. 

 ***

It was safe to say that Oliver Sanchez was pissed off. 

 It was apparent on his face as he stalked down the hallway of Beacon Hills High, his backpack hanging loosely off of his shoulders, the sleeves of his sweater rolled up to his elbows; making his clenched fists perfectly visible. He glared at anyone who looked at him, and whenever he opened a door, slammed it with as much ferocity as he could muster. 

 God damn it! Why couldn't he have one time where he actually had time to change things? What is the point of having psychic powers if you never even get to change the things you see? It seemed cruel to Ollie that he was given abilities to help people, but never actually got the chance to change things. He was just useless idiot with insomnia and the occasional glimpse of the future. 

 "Hey, Ols-" 

 "Fuck off." 

 Stiles looked incredibly offended as Ollie sat down in the seat next to him, the bustling sounds of the cafeteria not exactly helping his headache. The raven-haired boy leaned over to squint at Ollie, poking his arms, "are you having a bad insomnia day?" 

 "No, I'm having a bad case of self loathing." The Hispanic boy shot back, leaning his head on his arms and groaning as Scott shot him an incredibly concerned look. 

 "Oh..." the werewolf bit his lip, "do you need a hug?" 

 "No I don't need a hug!" Ollie lifted his head, his face twisted in a scowl. "I need you to go find Derek, and then scratch him so many times with your creepy wolf claws that he turns into a big bowl of werewolf-noodle soup." 

 "Jesus Christ," Stiles muttered, putting a hand on Ollie's shoulder, "you're so aggressive." 

 "Yeah, because Scott decided to become an idiot and fuck up my life." He mumbled, before holding up a hand at a very confused looking Scott. "I'm not serious, I'm having a bad day. Love you, McCall." 

 Scott blinked, "um, love you too?" 

 "Hey, sluts." There was the loud sound of a chair screeching against the floor as Katrin appeared, sitting down next to Scott and leaning forward, lowering her voice. "No sign of Erica." 

 "Great, I'll just stab myself in the eye with-" he held up a fork with a sarcastic smile, "this plastic fork." 

 "Okay, I'll take that-" Stiles plucked the utensil from Ollie's hands, before wrapping an arm around his shoulder and allowing him to lean his head on his shoulder. "And I know it sucks about Erica, but it's not your fault." 

"Can anyone else here tell the future?" 

 "Oh shut up," Stiles rolled his eyes, running his thumb gently across Ollie's jaw, "you didn't even have a vision. You had an idea, you were right, you didn't get there fast enough. It's not your fault, it's car manufacturers faults for not making their vehicles fast enough." 

 Ollie actually cracked a smile at that, "don't make me smile, you'll ruin my image." 

 "It's fine," Stiles smirked triumphantly, "I already know that you're a softie." 

 "Shut up, I could beat you up with one hand." 

 "Kinky." 

 "Oh my god-" Katrin's voice piped up, her tone laced with disbelief. Ollie turned to look at her, "what?" 

 "Well first of all, you guys are disgusting. Second of all-" the redhead gestured forward, and Ollie turned around, almost falling off of his chair at the ungraceful motion. His mouth fell open, anger flooding his chest yet again. 

 Because there was Erica Reyes. Although she didn't look like Erica at all, as she walked with a newfound aura of confidence, her entire look different as she sauntered into the cafeteria. Her eyes raked over the room, before landing on Ollie. 

 She smirked, winking at him once, making him clench his fists so hard that it hurt. She looked as if she wanted to approach him, but then decided against it at the last second, spinning on her heel to make her exit as Ollie grabbed the fork to snap it in half. 

 There was a loud banging out as Lydia stalked over, smacking her hand down onto the table, right next to a dumbfounded Katrin, who jumped. "What the holy hell was that?" She demanded, scowling as she took in the absolutely furious look on Ollie's head. 

 It was Scott who answered, seeming just as confused as everyone else.  

 "That was Erica."
