Bite the Bullet ➵ Allison Argent (4)

Six

Allison's POV:

"So...how is she?" I hesitantly ask Deaton.

"Please tell us you know something about this." Scott sighed, gesturing to my unconscious girlfriend that laid flat on the metal table in the clinic.

"We all saw her get stabbed by the Oni's sword from the Nogitsune. Her powers didn't heal her in time." Kira added with a solemn expression.

Lydia crossed her arms. "From what she told us, she's a Caladrius."

"With the bonus of having awesome fire abilities." Stiles pointed to Olivia's hand.

Deaton moves a piece of skeleton armor away from her stomach, showing the large scar where the stab wound was. "If my assumptions are correct, Olivia isn't a Caladrius." He looks up at us with a small smile. "She's a Phoenix."

Stiles narrowed his eyes. "That doesn't give us an explanation of how Kate miraculously resurrected her from the dead."

"This wasn't Kate. Olivia was able to come back to life similar to the stories about the phoenix obtaining a new life by arising from the ashes of its descendants." He gestures to the scar on her stomach. "Every fatal blow she gets, it leaves a scar as a remembrance of her old life."

"So, are you saying she's immune to death?" Scott asked, but Deaton shakes his head.

"I never said that. A phoenix could still die from—"

A small grunt escapes from her lips which causes all of us to snap our heads towards her. She tiredly rubbed her eyes and holds the side of her head in pain.

"Ugh, I feel like I got hit by a car." She groans and looks up with confusion as she stared at all of us. Her eyes scan through all of us, but her eyes land on me. "Why are you all staring at me as if you've just seen a ghost?"

"Because we're not even sure if you're real," Stiles says and reaches to pinch her arm, but she quickly grabs his wrist with a glare.

"Don't pinch me."

Stiles nods immediately. "Okay, it's you." He says with a smile and brings her into a tight hug. "I don't know how you're alive, but I don't care."

"Woah, get away from me!" Olivia harshly shoved him off of her. "You're not tricking me this time."

He pulls away with a puzzled look. "What are you talking about?"

"You should get some rest, Olivia." Deaton says and pulls Stiles away. "I want to double-check to see if Kate did anything to you."

She shakes her head. "Who's Kate? Ugh, whatever. I just want to get out of..." She looks down at the bones she still wore. "you know, I actually don't want to know whose bones are these. I want to go home and shower because I don't want to be here when the Nogitsune pops out."

My eyes widen. "What did you just say?"

She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "The Nogitsune? Come on guys, I thought we already talked about this." She looks around at all of us. "Where's Isaac?"

"Olivia...what's the last thing you remembered?" Deaton cautiously asked and Olivia scratched the back of her neck in thought.

"It's a bit of a blur. I think...oh," She scrunched her nose in disgust. "after when we faced the Nogitsune at the loft."

Stiles worriedly looks to me before facing back to Olivia. "She doesn't remember when she..." He whispered so only I could hear.

She crossed her arms with a look of annoyance. "I'm right here, you know."
