Hello everyone!
I just had to write this after Monday's episode made me cry for Stiles.
As always I don't own anything except my OC, so enjoy!
"We'll be right back Stiles."
The brunette nodded as his father, his best friends mom, and the doctor left him in an exam room with nothing on but a thin robe. He sighed; the pounding in his head was enough to make him almost pass out. Unbeknownst to the teenager his eyes were dimming from a honey brown to a chocolate brown as the nogitsune talked to him. Lulling the boy into an almost calm state of mind as the dark spirit worked its magic trying to get it's host to fall asleep so it could gain control of his body again. Stiles shook his head, running a hand through his hair as he pulled at it, trying to make the voice in his head; that was repeating the same riddle over and over, to be quiet at least for a minute or two. Before the teen could do any major damage he heard someone curse, pulling his hand away, Stiles watched as a metal plate appeared in his doorway before a young woman in a wheel chair wheeled herself into the room.
"Hey, I haven't seen you before."
Stiles raised an eyebrow at the emerald eyed, platinum blonde, porcelain skin, purple robe clad teenage girl in front if him.
"Can I help you?"
The girl laughed, having a calming effect on Stiles.
"I just noticed I've never seen you around here before and wanted to say hi. What are you in here for?"
Stiles was still taken back by the teenager as she smiled at him, calmly waiting for his reply.
"I, um, an MRI."
She nodded, her smile never faltering as she wheeled closer to him.
"That's always fun, at least you get to lie down for an hour. The noise is annoying but you'll drown it out I'm sure. Do you know what they're waiting for?"
Stiles looked down, causing the mysterious girl to tilt her head in slight confusion at the look on his face, he shrugged, deciding it wouldn't hurt to talk to this girl.
"Frontotemporal dementia."
The girl sighed, reaching out she patted his leg.
"The only kind of dementia to hit teenagers. That's not fun."
Stiles shrugged as the girl tried to give him an assuring smile.
"Why are you here?"
She laughed and patted her left leg, causing Stiles to focus on the appendage only to realize she was missing her left foot from the ankle down.
"Atrophy in my leg, I'm in for a check up. I have time to kill so I figured I would see if there was any new people."
Stiles nodded, realizing that for the first time in a while he could hear his own thoughts; that the nogitsune was quiet, instead of chanting that stupid riddle.
"What's your name?"
The girl smiled at him.
"I'm Hailey, who are you?"
"I'm Stiles."
She nodded and they shook hands, an idea forming in Stiles' head.
"Are you any good at riddles Hailey?"
The blonde shrugged.
"A little, why? You have one for me?"
Stiles nodded.
"Everyone has it, but no one can lose it."
Hailey looked thoughtful for a moment before her eyes lit up.
"A shadow."
Stiles looked shocked before nodding.
"Yeah, thanks."
"No problem."
The pair nodded as they fell into conversation, Stiles making Hailey laugh and Hailey making Stiles laugh, you would never know the two had just met by the way they talked.
"I need something else to call you besides Stiles."
The boy looked at the girl in curiosity.
"You're giving me a nickname?"
Hailey nodded, giving Stiles a hard look before her eyes lit up again.
"I'm calling you Panda."
Stiles was dumbfounded, for once he wasn't able to form a sentence for a few minutes.
"Why panda?"
"Because of the bags under your eyes."
Stiles laughed and nodded.
"Fair, then I'll call you Angel."
"Fair enough."
And just like that they were talking again, forming a bond that rivaled the one Stiles had with Scott. What felt like minutes to the teenagers was two hours before the Sheriff walked in, interrupting the duo.
"Stiles, they're waiting for you."
Stiles sighed and slid off the exam table, bending over he hugged Hailey, who happily hugged him back.
"Good luck Panda."
"Thanks Angel."
He pulled back and they smiled at each other again.
"Come find me when your MRI is done, we'll go steal some bad hospital food."
Stiles laughed and left with his dad, as soon as he was down the hall from her, he felt the nogitsune start chanting again, screaming in his head this time instead of just chanting, demanding Stiles to go to sleep.
So what did we think?
If this gets enough feedback I might make it into a story!
