Ch. 3 - ICE PICK

"You couldn't walk at all just a few hours ago." Saanvi said and Nabina took a deep breath, biting her lips and shrugged slightly. "I- I don't know. I just felt a moment of straight." Nabina said and Saanvi raised her eyebrows, "You don't feel shaky? Or weak? Dizzy?" Saanvi asked and Nabina shook her head. 

"I feel fine... And since I feel fine, can I go hang out with a friend?" Nabina asked and her mother looked at her crazy, "Please? I haven't been able to hang out with anyone in a while. They can pick up so you can finally work a full day again like you've been wanting to." Nabina said and Saanvi sighed softly. 

"I don't like this. I don't know what's going on... But fine. But you have to text or call me every five minutes." Saanvi said and Nabina raised her eyebrows, "Every five minutes?" She asked and Saanvi nodded. "Would you rather me make your say for observation like I should be doing?" Saanvi asked and Nabina shook her head. 

"No, no. Every five minutes. Got. Okay, thank you. I love you." Nabina said, before kissing her mom's cheek and quickly walking out. 

Nabina pulled up her sleeve a bit to look at the fresh bite on her arm. She took a deep breath, pulling her sleeve back down as she walked out the hospital before going straight over to a black camaro. "You can walk." Derek said as he rolled down his window, "I didn't think it would work this quickly. The bite isn't even healed yet." Nabina said. 

"It will. Get in." Derek said and Nabina walked around the car and got into the passenger seat. A second later, Erica Reyes sat forward from the back seat, making Nabina glance back at her. "I'm Erica." Erica said and Nabina nodded slightly, "Nabina." She said before looking at Derek with raised eyebrows. 

"I hope you see how concerning it is that you, a grown man, bit two teenage girls in the same hour at a hospital." Nabina said and Derek rolled his eyes before driving off.

"Got 'em. I'll pick you up tonight after work and we'll meet at the rink. Cool?" Stiles said as he walked over to Scott after getting a set of keys from Boyd. Scott wasn't paying attention to Stiles, making him follow his gaze to the doors.The entire cafeteria seems to turn their heads almost simultaneously as long, toned legs step through the threshold. Erica walked past everyone, catching every eye with a new found confidence. 

The flash of a bare midriff sends jaws dropping- guys and girls- as the stunning figure approaches a table. Erica reached out to grab some guy's apple, taking a bite before smirking. Walking up to Scott and Stiles, Lydia slammed her hands on the table, "What. The holy hell. Is that?" Lydia asked. 

"That's Erica." Scott said and Erica smirked before walking out the cafeteria and a few seconds later Scott and Stiles shot up and ran after them. 

"Was all of that really necessary?" Nabina asked as she climbed out the camaro as Erica walked over. "A few hours ago they were laughing at me, now they're drooling over me. Totally worth it." Erica said. 

The doors clatter open to the parking lot and Scott and Stiles rush out of the school just in time to see Erica climb into the back seat. Behind the wheel, Derek locked eyes with Scott while Nabina got into the car. Nabina rolled her eyes slightly while Erica leaned forward to look at the boys with a smirk. 

Derek smiled before driving off while Nabia looked at him with a cocked eyebrow. "You're as bad as a petty teenager." Nabina said, making Derek give her a look, "You're going to make me regret biting you, aren't you?" He asked and Nabina shrugged slightly. 

"You're going to need someone who'll say the things others won't."
