Hanna Reid sat on a couch in the from hall of Eichen house as she read the lestest book her mother had brought with her the last time she was there. She looked up from her book when she heard the door being opened, she turned her head to see an older looking man walking inside the doors with a young boy beside him. She was about to look back down at her book when she saw the boy turning his head towards her way and she saw the scared look in his eyes. It was the same look most had when the were brought to a place like this.
The boys eyes stopped on her when he saw her sitting on the couch. Hanna moved a piece of her hair behind her ear as she gave the boy a shy smile before bowing her head down to continue reading her book.
"Hanna!"
Hanna turned her head towards the voice to find the boy were still staring at her and she didn´t know why, but it was like someone else where watching her from behind the boys eyes.
"Hanna!"
Hanna turned her head to joe that stood behind the reception desk and he was pointing his finger towards the clock on the wall.
"It is past 8."
"I am going." She said as she unfolded her lags as she pulled her book closer to her chest." Night, Joe." She said as she walked past the boy who were still watching her as she walked through the doors.
Stiles didn´t know why, he couldn´t look away from the girl. There were something familiar about her, but he didn´t know what it was.
" Mister Stilinski?" Stiles nodded his head as he and his dad walked closer to the reception.
This way please." A nurse said, holding out her hand for the two men to followed her down the hall. The followed her into and office where she held out her hand for them to sit down in the chairs in front of the desk. When they sat down the nurse held out a piece of paper for Noah to sign.
She placed a paper in front of Noah."Frist 72 hours there´s no phone calls, no e-mails, no visitors. We will be taking you from here to a brief physical. In the morning you will be assessed by a staff of psychologist, speak to a social worker and attend a group therapy." Noah held the pen in his hand as he shook his head.
"I feel like we are forgetting something." He said leaning back in the chair, his eyes filled with worried as he looked towards Stiles.
The nurse placed a pair of slippers in front of Stiles."You will be wearing these, Stiles. No laces allowed. You don´t have a belt do you?"
Stiles shook his head as the nurse nodded. "And please empty your pockets in here." She said as she pushed a plastic bowl towards Stiles.
"Your pillow." Noah said as he turned his head towards his son." Your pillow. We forgot your pillow." Noah said as he sees Stiles removing his shoes.
"Dad, it is okay." Stiles said as he untied his shoes.
"You were never going to be able to sleep. We have to go back." Noah said as he turned in his chair to look at Stiles..
"It´s fine, dad. I don´t need it."
Noah turned to look at the nurse and he gave her a half laugh." I can´t believe i forget it. I mean, ever time that we ever stayed in a hotel, the frist thing you pack is your pillow." He said as he looked away from the nurse and over to Stiles.
Stiles sighed." It is fine, you can bring it tomorrow."
Stiles said as he started to empty his pockets as Noah stared at Stiles as he placed his phone and keys in the bowl and he jumped in his chair when the heard doors being slammed closed, he turned his head at the buzzing sound and he shook his head, standing up.
" Okay, you know what? Stop. Stop, enough. Stiles, get your stuff." He said as he pointed his finger towards the bowl." I am not checking you in here if you are not gonna get one good night´s sleep."
"Dad." Stiles took a step closer to Noah." I haven´t had a good night´s sleep in weeks." Stiles pulled Noah into a hug before walking towards the nurse, who stood waiting by the door for him.
Hanna walked down the hallway to her room, but she stopped when she sees Malia sitting on her bed with an old doll between her hands.
"You okay?" She asked as she leaned in the door way with a sad smile on her face.
"No." Maila said as she looked up to see Hanna standing in the doorway to her room." But, thank you." Malia said with a sad smile on her face.
"You know where i am if you ever wanted to talk." Hanna said as she held up her hand as she walked away.
That is when Malia saw the scar on Hanna´s wrist. She know from their sessions with Ms. Morrell, that Hanna had tried to kill herself that is why her parents had put her in Eichen house, because she heard voice in her head and she just wanted them to go away and she was starting to feel better, but about four weeks ago she had a fall back and that was around the time Maila had arrived at Eichen house herself.
Hanna was almost reached her own room when she a cold brise on her left shoulder, she reached out and placed the palms of her hands against the wall.
"He is here for you." She heard a voice say, she closed her eyes because it felt like a man´s voice were whispering in her ear.
"He is here for you." The voice said again.
"Who?" She asked not really wanting to know, but she knew if she wanted the voices to leave her alone she had to talked back to them.
"The boy."
She let out a sigh as she felt the coldness running through her body." No." She said as she saw the icy smoke that came from her lips."
"I said, no!"" She said slamming the palm of her hand against the wall.
"Hanna!"
She turned her head to see the head nurse standing there with a boy beside her and when she got a real good look at him she saw it was the boy from down stairs.
"Hanna, are you okay?" The nurse asked as she sees Hanna staring at the boy beside her with fear written all over her face.
"Yeah. Yeah." Hanna said with a laugh as she pointed a finger to her head."Night." She turned and hurried down the hallway and she almost ran head first into her door because her hand slipped on the door nob as she tried to turned the nob, but it was like someone didn´t wanted her to leave the hallway.
"Look at him." The voice yelled.
Hanna turned her head and her eyes when wide because she was not seeing the boy, she saw what looked like a man dressed in what looked like an old leather jacked. She looked up and she had to hide the scream behind her hand when she sees his hole head are dressed with bandages and their were blood stains on it.
"Let me go!" She said as she turned her head as she once again tried to turn the door nob and she let out a sigh of relief when the door opened and she hurried inside as she closed the door behind her, leaning against the door as she started to cry.
"Who is that?" Stiles asked the nurse.
"Room." She said, turning to opened the door beside her.
Stiles shook his head as he remembered what had just happened." I just need to use the phone, just five minuets." Stiles asked as he sees the nurse rolle her eyes.
" Three minuet?"
"Would you like to go to sleep? Or would you like to be introduced to our five-point restraint system?" She asked Stiles.
"You would go to sleep." Stiles wiped his head around to see a boy tied to his bed. The boy lifted his hand up and that is when Stiles heard the door being closed behind him.
"Hey, wait...Wait." Stiles said as he turned and hurried towards the no closed door as he kept on slamming his hand against the door.
"I am Oliver." The boy said as Stiles sat down on the bed.
"Stiles."
"There was a suicide, huh?"
"Yeah." Stiles said as he ran a hand down his face.
Oliver nodded his head." Is it Monday? There´s a much higher rate of Suicide on Mondays.
Stiles moved off the bed as he walked over to slam his hand against the door again." Just please let me out of here. Someone. Anyone?" He yelled.
"I heard it by the way. It happened in the stairwell, right?"
Stiles turned his head towards Oliver as he raised an eyebrow." Yeah, how did you know that?"
"I heard the echo." Oliver said with a sigh as he placed his head back against the pillow.
"What do you mean?"
"It´s the place. Something about the way that it was built. Everything echoes. Eventually. That is why the call it Echo house." Oliver said before closing his eyes.
Hanna was walking up the lawn, she yawned because she was tried and she hasn´t slept the night before. She so needed her coffee. Getting her coffee in the morning was the only good thing about starting a new day, but that changed when she sees Stiles walking across the front porch with Oliver beside him as he pointed to the people the walked past.
"Hanna!"
Hanna looked turned around to see Ms. Morrell walking towards her with a soft smile on her lips.
"Why, is he here?" Hanna asked as she turned back to look at the boy she had learned was Stiles because the voice had kept on saying his name over and over in her ear.
"Stiles." Ms Morell asked as she sees Hanna looking back at Stiles, that stood with Oliver waiting for Meredith to finish her phone call.
"He said he was here for me"
"Who? Stiles?"
"No, the voice in my head." Hanna said as she stared to rube her hands against the sides off her head.
"What voice?" Ms. Morrell asked worried because unlike most people there she knew the voices Hanna was hearing was not fiction of her imagination, but they were real voices, she was hearing.
"He wont leave me alone."
"Who?"
"The man."
Hanna took a step backwards when she sees Stiles turning his head and what ever he was going to say to Oliver died on his lips when he sees her looking at him. Hanna kept on backing away until she crashed into Ms. Morrell.
"Hanna." Morrell said as she took a hold of Hanna´s arm, turning her around as she moved the hand away so she could place her hands on the girls shoulder.
"Hanna, Listen to me." Morrell looked around to make sure no one was around and when she was sure no one was around she turned back to Hanna." Stiles is not going to hurt you."
"I am not talking about St..." She started to yelled but she closed her mouth when she sees Joe and so guy she can´t remember his name, looking at them she takes a deep breath to calm herself down.
"I am talking about the man inside him." She whispered.
"Hey, Malia." A man voice yelled out.
Ms. Morrell looked towards the voice to see what was going on and that is when she see Joe holding on to Stiles.
"Hey, what the hell? she hit me." Stiles yelled as another man pull Stiles hands behind his back befor pulling in to the ground.
Hanna turned her head when she heard another man telling Malia. that a few more like this and she will end up in the closed unit. Hanna then sees another man helping to pull Malia away.
"We will talk about this later." Morrell said as she runs and tells the man to let go of Stiles as she walks closer to Stiles.
"Enough." Morrell yelled as she pushed her way though the crowed of people.
"Stiles." She said his name softly as she got down on her knees in front of him.
Stiles was breathing heavily as he as he kept on staring into the grate on the floor beneath him his hands.
"Stiles." Morrell said his name again and this time he looked up at her with a scared look on his face.
"You saw something, didn´t you?" She asked him.
"The basement. I have been doing there before." Stiles shook his head to and out of the corner of his eyes he sees a girl standing a few feet away from them. Stiles turned his head towards the girl but what caught his eyes was that she was staring at the floor beneath his hand. She had a scared look on her face like she already knew, what was doing there.
"He sees you Hanna." The voice said and it almost sounded like he was laughing at her.
Hanna had looked up and she took a step back in shock,because it was not Stiles she was seeing on his knees, it was the man with the dressing all over his head and she did the only thing she knew to do, so she ran.
