Erica Nicole Reyes was born 16 years ago on February 26th in Los Angeles, CA to Joseph and Amelia Reyes. Erica was a very small baby and stayed smaller then the other kids throughout most of her childhood. She was very outgoing thought and that changed things a lot. Sure she was small, but she was friendly and silly and just liked having fun. She wasn't picky when it came to friends either, she would hang out with anyone of her fellow classmates really though she did have a very small and close circle of friends and they trusted each other with everything. When Erica was 6, Joseph started getting sick though. It was unknown why so Amelia took him and Erica to a special hospital in New York. In LA Amelia sold their house and pretty much up and moved them to the larger city. Within weeks Erica was attending one of the schools there and due to the abrupt departure from LA she couldn't get in contact with her friends back home to even let them know what was going on. Of course she had mentioned a few things to her close friends before, but she was pretty private when it came to her parents and her home life.

Not long after they arrived in New York Erica started having seizures at school, they were absence seizures though so no one really noticed until Erica blacked out from one at school. After that they changed into myoclonic seizures and Erica went in for blood tests, ECG, and MRIs and was diagnosed with epilepsy. The doctors were unsure about how long she had been having seizures but before long they set her up with Zarontin, which was a pill to treat the seizures. Of course that was for the absence seizures which she was still having. For the myoclonic seizures they gave her Depakene and Dilantin. By the time they figured out her medication Erica's father was really sick though. He had a brain tumor and the doctors found it too late and Joseph died as a result. Erica went to the funeral held a week after her father's death. After that she withdrew into herself. She wouldn't talk to kids at school much, she was quieter, she did her school work and went almost everyday yes, but it was hard for her. About 7 months after Joseph's death Amelia decided a fresh start would help hopefully and moved them back to California, but to Beacon Hills instead of LA. Erica was 10 at the time.

In Beacon Hills it became widely known that she was epileptic thanks to her mom being a worrier, she was scared to lose her daughter like she had lost her father already. Erica didn't make many friends because of this, and the few that she did were outcasts like herself. Most of the other kids were rude to Erica about her condition. They would tease her and laugh at her and just be completely horrible. Though Erica had noticed another classmate named Stiles who wasn't mean to her, when he had to talk to her at least. He was smart and wasn't like everyone else and Erica started crushing on him. The years passed slowly after that with not much going on. Though the year Erica and her mom had moved to Beacon Hills there was a fire that killed most of a family out in the woods but Erica never knew much about it. That would come back on her in a way later on. At 15 years old strange stuff started up in Beacon Hills. There were murders, more then usual, and it was just a crazy time. and over the years Amelia had started being around Erica less and less as she grew older and started looking more and more like her father, same hair and eyes and skin coloring and everything.

Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones,

At 14 she started getting her ears pierced. It was the only thing she could really do to define herself in a way, the only thing that was special in a way. Of course you need your parent's permission at that age but Amelia wasn't all that attentive so she signed the form each time she got a new piercing without even looking at what she was signing. By the time she was almost 16 she has 3 piercings in her left ear and 2 in her lower right though she also has one in the upper right part of her ear as well. It was hell getting them done, but after years of hospital visits and needles and doctors she wanted to do something for herself, so she did. Her determination gave her enough strength to get through it each time, even though she had come to hate and dread needles. It was just something she wanted, so she got it. It wasn't until about 7 months ago that Erica learned what was going on though. Werewolves, Kanimas and Hunters oh my! Of course Erica only learned because Derek Hale turned her into a werewolf, though he more have asked and she agreed to be turned. She agreed to get rid of her epilepsy though, in her book going furry and having enhanced abilities totally made up for that. She gained a new found confidence because of the bite as well and her personality changed somewhat. She became just as beautiful as her mother as well, even though her mother didn't care to notice the changes.

Erica loved being a werewolf. Her first full moon was far from easy of course but having Derek, and Isaac, there to keep herself and Boyd where they were helped. She became very close to Isaac. They both had come from bad lives into this new little world and everything changed for them. It made them very close. She was close to Boyd as well, but not necessarily in the same way, he was more like an older protective brother then anything. Derek, he is her Alpha and it is hard to explain that relationship. Erica tried making a move on him once but that was mostly to see if she could catch him off guard, which she did. He threw her off though which hurt a bit but it wasn't like it really mattered. The last few months have been hectic to say the least. At the end of the school year she and Boyd tried to run from the pack to find a new pack, they were snatched though by Allison and her father, Chris, and then locked in the Argent basement hooked up to wires to keep them weak from the electrical shocks. Stiles was later thrown in as well and then Gerard came and beat him up because while she and Boyd would never give up Derek due to their true loyalty to him, Stiles possibly might in Gerard's twisted mind. Stiles didn't though and that showed Erica a lot about the human boy. He was technically weak, or at least thats how she had considered him lately, but in all honesty he was stronger then Erica in a way.

Stiles was let go though and before long Chris was coming down the stairs and releasing Erica and Boyd as well. They started running back to Derek but were cornered by the Alpha pack and pretty much kidnapped by them. Boyd had been trying to find a way to get them out and Erica had been too in a way, but she really had no clue what to do. She wasn't taught how to really fight, she didn't know if Derek would let them back into the pack, didn't know if Derek would come find them either, all she really knew was that she and Boyd were trapped by the Alpha pack, and it was their own fault. The Alpha Pack was made up of Deucalion, Kali, Ennis, and the twin Alphas, Aiden and Ethan. Ennis had seemed to take a particular liking to Erica, and as soon as the Alphas had brought Erica and Boyd back to their hideout they had separated them and injected them both with a special form of wolfsbane that would weaken them. After that Erica didn't know what happened with Boyd, she was never close enough to talk to him. They were kept on opposite sides of the place, and the walls, all of the walls, were sound proof, which made it really hard to hear.
