If you don't have a bootable usb, you need to do a net install. Hold command+option+R when booting to get into net recovery.

Are you connected to your wifi network? the net install should install the original os if I remember correctly.

Hmm, weird. Just make sure you are booting with cmd+option+r because the other ones do different things. If that doesn't work, you will need to create a bootable usb on another mac
