Ephemeral ➵ Allison Argent (5)

One

Olivia's POV:

I take the long sleeve off of the hanger and once so turn to face the mirror, my eyes trailed to the several scarred slashes across my stomach.

"Liam, stop!" I shut my eyes which instantly brought me back to the memory. "You're killing him!" I wrap my arms around his in hopes of stopping his attacks by conjuring the flames to envelop my arms but nothing was coming out.

Liam easily throws me off, forcing my back to harshly slam on the ground but before I could move away, he continued his assault by repetitively slashing his claws across my chest this time. Blood splattered across my face as I helplessly attempted to block his attacks.

"I'm okay, I'm okay." I whisper under my breath but the memory continued.

"Bad timing." We all look up to see Theo march inside the building with a glare. "I mean, seriously. You two couldn't have waited five minutes?" He slams Mason's head on the table which instantly knocked him unconscious.

I unhook my arm from Allison's neck and step in front of Scott but before I could attack, Theo swiftly digs his claws deep into my stomach. A gurgle of blood comes up from my throat but he shoves me away from him, causing me to collide with someone and crash against the stairs.

I stumble back a bit and my eyes open, seeing that I was back to staring at my reflection.

My fingers trace over the indents from Theo's claws before I shake my head once more, dismissing the memory from resurfacing again.

Even if the wounds were turned to scars, it still hurt like hell and I knew that it was going to last for a few days. I mean, it's what happened last time.

I pull over a long sleeve shirt over my head, instantly feeling a twinge of pain on my stomach which causes me to grunt.

A knock on the door causes me to look up, seeing my mom stand with the car keys in her hand. "As much as I want to help you rest, I have to go back to the hospital. Stiles' dad is in pretty bad shape and Lydia was admitted to the hospital so I need to head over there now."

"Do you know what happened?" I worriedly ask. "Was it Theo?"

"I don't know the exact details for Lydia but Stilinski's condition was declared an animal attack. The surgery went well, but now there's something else happening to him. Almost like there's a toxin in his system so I need to be there to figure it out."

"I'll come." I say and reach for my jacket on the bed, but once I bend down, the same twinge in my stomach hits which causes me to wince.

"You should stay. You're barely starting to get your energy back."

I pick up my jacket and put my arms through the sleeves. "Maybe I won't be able to use my powers for a while, but I can still be there for one of my friends. Besides," I look at Phoebe's bed, seeing that some of her things were sprawled on top. "Phoebe would want me to go to check in on my friends so I'm going."

She lets out a sigh before she nods. "I'll meet you in the car."

Once the elevator doors open, the first thing I see is Scott pinned on the floor by Stiles who held him by the collar of his jacket.

"Where were you? You trusted him. You believed him. Right, huh?" Stiles harshly questioned. "So, where were you?"

"Stiles!" I scold and try to pull him away from Scott.

"Where the hell were you?" Stiles shouted.
