Daire glared up at the big white security camera again, while she and Allison waited for Scott and Stiles in the library. Allison wasn't kidding when she said that their family had installed them everywhere. Daire wasn't kidding. They. Were. Everywhere. 

Daire turned back and was face to face to a pair of eyes. Stiles had removed a book from the other side of the bookshelf. Allison nodded and slid a black tablet through the space. Scott grabbed it and turned it on. The text of the bestiary was on one side, while a giant computerized post-it note was on the other, with the translation. 

"That's everything Lydia could translate," Daire said as Scott and Stiles looked it over. "Trust me, she was very confused."

"What did you tell her?" Scott asked.

"That we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures," Allison laughed.

Daire raised an eyebrow. "You laugh, but one of us actually is part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures," Daire said with a smirk and jerked her thumb over at Stiles.

Scott didn't look fazed, giving Stiles the usual eye roll, while Allison looked slightly shocked.

Stiles groaned, "You're never going to stop making fun of me for that are you?"

"Until I get some new material...no," Daire teased.

"Okay," Scott cut in. "Does it sat anything about how to find who's controlling him?"

"Not really. But Stiles was right about the murders," Allison started causing Stiles to do a small fist pump.

"Yes!" he whispered shouted. Daire rolled her eyes.

"They call the kanima a weapon of vengeance. THere's this story in there about a South American priest who uses the kanima to execute murders in his village."

"That doesn't sound-" Scott started but was cut off.

"Until the bond got so strong that it killed whoever he wanted it to," Allison finished, grabbing a book of the shelf.

"All bad, all very very bad," Stiles commented.

"Here's the thing though," Allison continued. "The kanima's actually supposed to be a werewolf but it can't begin to-"

One of the librarians had walked over, putting a few books away. Daire had to bite her bottom lip to stop herself from complaining at her for interrupting. 

"Until," Scott started, reading off the tablet. "It resolves that in its past that manifests it."

"Well that's helpful," Daire commented. "Any idea what that means? That Jackass needs a couple thousand hours of therapy? Should I go drag his ass to Ms. Morrell's office?"

Allison sighed. "What if this has something to do with his parents? His real parents."

"Yeah, does anyone actually even know what happened to them?"

Daire shook her head, "No idea, Lydia might though."

"What if she doesn't know anything?" Scott asked.

Allison shrugged, putting her book back. "Well he doesn't have a restraining order on me, so I'll talk to him myself."

"What do I do?" Scott asked.

"You have a make-up exam, remember?" she said with a small smile.

Scott looked over at Stiles for confirmation and he nodded. "You're taking that test Scotty."
