Olivia's POV:

Mom👩‍👧

first day and they're already giving me stacks and stacks of paperwork to file through so I'll be coming home late tonight :( there should be money in the jar so order a pizza. love u!❤️❤️❤️
{4:30 p.m.}

"Great," I mumble and start walking home.

I'm gonna be honest, I had no idea where I was going. I knew I should've been paying attention instead of stuffing my face with pancakes and bacon.

Somehow I must have taken a wrong turn because next thing I knew, it was already dark and I was walking in a whole completely different neighborhood.

I can't just go around door to door and ask for directions, they'll probably think I'll jump them or something.

A car from a distance pulls over next to a house with police tape surrounded by it. A girl gets out of the car and reaches to grab the bag from her backseat.

I squint and realize it was Allison.

It shouldn't be weird to randomly come up and ask for a ride. I'm pretty sure it's comfortable enough to ask for a favor, right?

I was about to call out her name but she cautiously looked around before stepping inside the house.

Did she not see the police tape? Eh, who cares, maybe she can drop me off after she's done doing whatever she's doing.

I sneakily follow behind her and look around the pitch-black house, seeing it was a bit messy. I pull out my phone, attempting to turn on the flashlight but instead, showed that it had a low battery.

Stupid Harry Potter game.

I shove it back inside my pocket and cautiously walk further inside, still leaving the door wide open.

As I walk further inside, I feel something crack in the bottom of my shoe as I took another step. I lift my foot up, seeing a pile of glass shards that most likely someone had broke before.

I looked around the room, realizing that now I was in the dining room.

What the hell could be the reason Allison be in here for?

"Allison?" I quietly call out.

I hear a hiss nearby, causing my blood to run cold. I cautiously reach down to grab the fire stick that was nearby the fireplace.

I hold the stick close to me, preparing if someone else was in here. "I-I've seen Kung Fu Panda a couple of times so don't even try to fight me." I gulp, looking around the house and seeing nothing was there.

As soon as I turn around, I feel someone wrap their arm around my neck, pressing a blade against my throat.

"Agh," I grunt, trying to fight their hold on my neck.

"Oh shit." They release their hold and I take a couple of steps forward, turning to face who tried to attack me.

My eyes widen, seeing it was Allison holding a mini kitchen knife in her hand.

"What the hell? You almost killed me!" I raise my voice but she shushes me.

"What are you doing here?"

"I got lost trying to walk home and I saw you pull up with your car in the front. I was gonna ask you for a ride." I explain and pat my stomach. "I still haven't eaten anything since lunch."

I hear something thump from below, causing Allison's eyes to widen. "This is definitely bad timing." She says, attempting to push me away. "You shouldn't be here, you have to go."

I brush her off. "Well, what are you doing here? There's police tape surrounding this place so I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be here either." I cross my arms but then scoff. "You know what, I'll just wait outside by your car. You at least owe me that for almost killing me."

I start to walk away from her but I hear the same hiss noise, causing both of us to slowly turn to each other.

"Please tell me that was your stomach," Allison whispers, clutching to her knife tightly.

"My stomach doesn't hiss like an animal." I scold. "And second, that wasn't me."

I look around and once I face the living room, I hear the same hissing sound come from above. My eyes slowly trail up and see something that wasn't even close to human.

It was a rather large lizard with yellow glowing eyes and a long tail that menacingly swung around my head.

"Allison, get out of here!" I yell as the lizard jumps down. I attempt to swing the stick at the monster but it slams its tail on my body, making me crash against the wall.

It runs to the direction where Allison was, causing her to scream and I push myself up from the ground.  I grab the stick again and run after the monster.

I stop in the middle of the hallway, seeing Allison run to the kitchen with a knife in her hand. She aimed it to the creature who was now on its four legs as it hisses at her.

"Come on," Allison mumbles, waiting for the lizard creature to move. "Come on!"

The creature's stance was as if it was going to pounce on her any second and I could see a flash of fear in Allison's eyes.

Oh shit.

Without thinking, I sprint towards them, tackling the creature into the ground which was several feet away from Allison.

The creature tried to snap its teeth at me but I held the pole stick between us, pushing him away so he wouldn't get close.

"Son of a bitch," I grunt, trying to push its face away but he was twice my size. "Allison, a little help would be nice!"

From behind, I see Allison using this as her chance to stab the creature, causing it to screech loudly. It leaps up once more and I scramble to my feet, running to stand beside Allison.

The creature uses its tail to yank out the blade and tosses it away from us. I look down at my stick and see it was bent, making it completely useless to fight with. I throw the stick at the creature but it slaps it away with its tail. It hisses again once more, but this time more angrily.

"I-I think you just made it mad." Allison stuttered.

"Oh, as if he wasn't mad before?" I scoff, backing away further with Allison as she clutches on my arm. "We're gonna die and all I wanted was a ride home, dammit."

I feel her hand slip into mine, squeezing it with comfort which caused my stomach to flip.

I mean if I'm about to die, at least it's with someone beautiful.

I shut my eyes, hoping for death to come quick but I still felt obligated to protect Allison by stepping in front of her so she wouldn't get hurt.

Instead of being met with claws slashing my sides, something smashes through the door, causing me to open my eyes.

A guy rolled in front of us and let out a loud roar that pierced through my ears, causing me to flinch. The creature turns and runs off, crashing through the window and taking off into the night.

He finally turns to face me and I gasp, realizing it was Scott, the same guy that got into the mustang at school. I took in his appearance, seeing the excessive hair that was on his face and his sharp canine-like teeth that were visibly shown.

"Are you guys okay?" He asks and I turn to Allison who didn't even seem phased at the guy in front of me.

Am I okay? More like is Allison okay? Why isn't she phased by this? Why are they making it seem like this is normal?

She released my hand since I leaned against the table, trying to calm down since my head was spinning, confused about what the hell was going on.

"We're okay," Allison responds but then we all turn towards the shattered door that the creature ran through. "but what the hell was that?"

"I don't know," Scott says slowly and my eyes trailed at the knife that Allison used to stab the creature, now stained with blood.

"I think I'm gonna be sick," I mumble. Scott turns to me, his face returning to normal.

"I remember you, you're the girl who was eavesdropping my conversation with Derek." He says, pointing his finger at me. "What are you, some kind of spy?"

"Scott." Allison scolds.

I smack his hand away. "Really, a spy is the best you could come up with? You were talking pretty damn loud so how could I not block you two out?" I scoff. "Also, didn't your mom teach you that pointing is rude?"

He was about to argue back but Allison pushed both of us apart. "Enough. We have bigger issues right now, so quit it." She scolds, looking back and forth at us. "Stiles has been busy dealing with Isaac's werewolf change."

First, it was that lizard, but now werewolves are in the picture?

"So we need to check in on him to make sure he dealt with your dad's henchmen," Scott responds and I look at the two of them like they're crazy.

"First of all, what do you mean we? What we should be doing is taking this to the police, FBI, hell anyone really! This is crazy, you guys are crazy." I ramble, taking a couple of steps away from them.

"Olivia, relax," Allison said, trying to reach for my arm but I smack her hands away.

"Relax? How am I supposed to relax when a crazy-ass lizard is running around this town and this guy," I point to Scott. "who just shifted out of his werewolf body like from out of a movie, is asking me if I'm a spy?" I raise my voice louder but then see Allison flinch at my tone.

"We can't tell anyone or else they'd go after him too," Allison says, gesturing to Scott and he reached to interlock his hand with hers.

Oh.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. "Look, if you take me home, I won't say anything."

"Okay."

"No."

Allison and I turn to Scott who had his arms crossed.

"No?" Allison questioned but I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, well I don't remember asking for your permission." I retort.

"How are we supposed to trust you that you won't run off to the cops?" He glares.

Is he serious? "Do you really think they'll believe the girl that just moved here?"

He sighs and looks back at Allison. "Just give her the rundown if she happens to run into 'you know who'." He says and Allison nods. He cups her cheek, pulling her into a kiss that caused her to smile.

My heart clenched at the sight but I brushed it off by looking away. What the hell is happening to me?

"I love you." I hear Scott mumble, causing me to internally gag.

She pecks his lips once more. "Be safe," Allison whispers back.

I fake smile. "Aw you're in love," I sigh before dropping my expression with a frown. "how gross for everyone."

I walk out of the house and towards where Allison parked her car, hearing quick footsteps trailing behind me. "Olivia wait, I still need to--"

I walk to the passenger's side and slide off my backpack. "Look, can I just forget what just happened for like five minutes?"

"Trust me, it's going to stay haunted in your mind." She says, clicking the button so the doors would unlock. I stepped inside, shutting the door once I sat down and placed my backpack on my feet.

"Fine just start off with the beginning," I mumble as she starts the car.
