"Olivia, leave." Riley warned, as her eyes were fixated on Matt and Scott.

"What?" She said, when all of a sudden a figure had jumped from the bookcase next to Scott and disappeared, breaking the lights and throwing books around as it jumped from one bookcase to another. Olivia whipped around and screamed when she saw Erica and Scott, both with glowing eyes and fangs protruding from their gums. They did not notice her scream, as they were fixated on the figure that was jumping around and wreaking havoc in the library. Riley pulled Olivia into her and pushed her against the wall between the bookshelves, where Olivia slid down the wall, petrified and confused. She clutched onto her bag for dear life, and Riley watched as the figure came towards her and her best friend, and ran to Olivia when it jumped over her, breaking the lights and ceiling as it all came crashing down, taking a few books with it. Olivia screamed again, in Riley's ear, which she really didn't appreciate. She felt deaf in one ear, but hardly noticed because of the adrenaline pumping through her body. Erica yelled and Riley heard her thump to the ground. She looked up and saw Jackson, who looked like he was halfway through transforming. She shielded Olivia's eyes, trying her best so that she couldn't see what was happening.

"Riley!" She yelled, trying to pry her hand from her eyes. They struggled for a moment before Olivia pushed her off, and she looked up just in time to see Scott being thrown into a book shelf. She gasped in shock as her eyes grew. Riley watched her in a scared manner, as Olivia kept glancing at her. "Are you seeing this? Who is fighting Scott?"

She got up, much to Riley's protests, and walked out of the aisle, then screamed when she saw Jackson's state. Riley ran up to her and stood in front of her, pushing her back into the aisle. She watched in shock as Jackson stood in front of the chalk board and acted like a doll on strings. He started to write on the chalk board, then when he was done, dropped it onto the ground and jumped out of the window, smashing it in the process.

Olivia peeped over the shelf and squinted at the words.

"Stay out of my way or.. I'll kill you all." She whispered, and leaned back as she gripped onto Riley, clearly terrified. Riley slowly walked out as Scott, Allison and Stiles did, looking at the board. Olivia followed closely behind, not letting go of Riley's arm. Stiles looked at Erica, who was having a seizure on the ground. He gasped and ran over to her, holding her in his arms.

"Hey! I think she's having a seizure!" He yelled. Scott ran over to her while Allison went over to Matt, and Riley turned to Olivia.

"What the hell just happened?  And what the hell was that thing that looked like Jackson? And what is wrong with Matt?" Olivia asked loudly, her mind obviously filled to the brim with confusion and a lot of questions.

"Look, I'll explain it to you later; we have to help Erica and Matt." She informed, where Olivia paused for a second, then nodded. They ran over to Erica and Olivia sat next to her, giving Stiles instructions on how to care for her.

"Don't hold her like that, you'll break something of hers. Gently put her on the ground and get rid of these books; they're dangerous for her." Olivia instructed, and Stiles nodded as he followed her.

"How do you know all of this?" He asked, and Olivia looked down at her hands.

"My little brother has epilepsy." She said, and Riley rubbed her shoulder. It was definitely hard for her family to deal with it. Once he had a seizure when Riley was at Olivia's house. Olivia had gone to the toilet and Max, her brother ran in to talk to Riley. but he was talking funny and was shaking. Riley didn't know what was happening, but she just thought that he ate too much sugar. But then he collapsed and started to have a fit. Riley didn't know what to do, so she yelled for Olivia's mother who was in the kitchen. It really was a very scary moment for her, since she had never experienced it before. Of course, poor max was scared as well, but his family knows what to do when it happens, so he's in good hands.

"He's still alive." Allison called out as she flipped Matt on his front. Scott looked over and Olivia looked scared; why would he be dead?

"We need to get her to the hospital." Stiles said, and Erica groaned and moaned.

"Derek! On-only to Derek." She replied, and Olivia looked at her in confusion.

"Who's Derek?" She asked Riley quietly, and Riley shrugged. She didn't want to tell her now; only when it was the right time. Right now, definitely was not the right time.

"Riley, take Olivia home. Explain everything there." Scott stated, and Riley hesitated in nodding. She was all for taking her home, but she didn't know if she was going to tell her everything. But now she has to, since Scott just said that there's something to say and got Olivia intrigued.

"Explain what? Riley." Olivia said, looking at her. Riley looked back, but then sighed. She nodded and took Olivia by the arm as they stood up.

"Will you be okay?" She asked Stiles, and he shrugged.

"Well, I  don't really know since I have no freaking clue what I'm doing. But yeah, sure, leave. Leave me here alone!" Stiles replied, and Riley glared at him.

"Call me when Erica's okay." Olivia told Stiles and they walked out. Riley felt wrong leaving Erica in her state, but Scott was there. She trusted Scott.

She just hoped that it was the right thing to do.

Riley called Isaac and told him to come to her house so he can help break the news to Olivia. Right now she was yelling at Riley about how they tell each other everything and that this was a very large secret that she kept from her. She almost punched Isaac in the face when he showed her his fangs, so Isaac didn't really want to go near her.

At the moment, Riley and Isaac were talking in the hallway while Olivia tried to wrap her head around the concept of supernatural being real. Riley gave her the Bestiary in the hopes of her understanding when she left the room.

"Riley, are you sure that was such a great idea?" Isaac asked quietly, and Riley put her hands on her waist as she shrugged.

"I really don't know if it was. But she's my best friend and she deserves answers. Did I really think that I could keep this from her forever when it's such an important part of my life?" Riley mumbled, rubbing her temples.

"Oh yeah, you never told me about what you are. Do you know now?" He asked, and Riley looked up at him.

"I'll tell you and Olivia together. Right now, I think it's best to just stay with her and let her understand fully." Riley said, and Isaac agreed. They went back inside her room, and spotted Olivia on her phone with the book in front of her. "Olivia, why aren't you reading it?"

She looked up from her phone with a dull expression. "Do you really expect me to know how to read..." She looked down at her phone as she read from it with a frown. "Ar...chaic?"

Riley frowned as well and walked up to her, taking the book from her and looked at the pages.

"No? What's Archaic? This is in English, Liv." Riley informed, and Olivia groaned as she looked frustrated.

"Jesus Christ! That's definitely not English honey. Isaac, would you please back me up instead of standing there like a dumb ass?" Olivia snapped, and Isaac was taken aback. He grumbled at Olivia and walked over to Riley, giving Olivia a dirty look as he walked. He looked down at the book in Riley's hand and raised his eyebrows.

"Yep, that is not English. I don't even know what it is." He confirmed, squinting at the words.

"Are you two crazy? It's English! It's..." Riley looked down, and for a second she swore she did not see English but a completely foreign language. She blinked a couple times, but then it went straight back to English. "What the hell?"

Isaac took the book from her and closed it, looking at her carefully.

"Yep, we are definitely seeing Deaton."
