Maria, her brother, Lafayette, Tara, and Alcide waiting outside of the hallway.

"I can't believe you. After what he just did." Maria said

"If it was you, Eric would've done the same thing." Jason said

Sookie screaming. They ran in the room.

"SOOKIE!" Maria yelled

Bill growling at Alcide.

"Back off." Alcide said

"Keep out of this." Bill said

"I don't take orders from vamps." Alcide said

"Get away from her you piece of shit." Tara said

"He saved her life." Lafayette said

"After he almost fucking killed her." Tara said

"What you did to Sookie. Too Tara." Maria said

"You shot me twice." Bill said

"Cause you had it coming." Maria said

Nurse comes in.

"Is everything okay in here?" Nurse asked them

"Yeah, she had a nightmare." Lafayette said

Nurse leaves. Sookies brother and sister approached to her.

"Sook?" Maria said

"Say something. You brain damaged?" Jason asked his sister

"I...I need to speak to Bill, alone." Sookie said

"So he can finish what he started? Hell, no." Tara said

"Nope. I'm staying." Maria said

"Everyone, please." Sookie said

"Y'all heard her. Out." Lafayette said

Bon Temps, Louisiana

Stackhouse Residence.

Kitchen.

Maria cooking. Alcide enters.

"You need some help?" Alcide asked Maria

"No thanks. Just...you...doing this for Sookie." Maria said

"I'll handle the cooking. She needs you." Alcide said

"Alcide?" Maria said

"Yeah." Alcide said

Maria hugged Alcide.

"Thank you." Maria thanking Alcide

Door Opens. Jason and Andy comes in. Maria stopped hugging Alcide and enters the living room.

"Andy, what are you doing here?" Sookie asked Andy

"Just because I let Bill give you his blood, don't mean I forgive him." Jason said

"Now you get it." Maria said

"Maria you were right about that. Sook, you need to press charges. What he did to you, that's domestic...something." Jason said

"Domestic abuse." Maria said

"That's it." Jason said

"Actually, it sounds more like assault or attempted murder." Andy said

"I'm not gonna press charges on Bill." Sookie said

"They're just trying to look out for you." Andy said

"I know, but Bill didn't attack me on purpose. He was starving and unconscious. It's his nature. That's no excuse. It's over between me and Bill." Sookie said

"If you change your mind, we can get a restraining order." Andy said

Sookie reads her brother and Andy's minds.

"Find out what? What have you done?" Sookie asked her brother

Jason getting suspicious.

"Nothing. You got no right being in my head. That's trespassing." Jason said

"Shut up." Maria said

"Maria?" Both of her siblings said

"I'm sorry. I just..." Maria said

Maria ran upstairs and enters her room. She was very upset. She calls Eric on her phone. He's not answering. She started crying.

Morning

Alcide knocking on Maria's door.

"Come in, Alcide. (Alcide comes in.) I'm not a mind reader but you're the only wolf around here." Maria said

Maria is worried about Eric.

"He hasn't called?" Alcide asked Maria

"I just want to know he's safe." Maria said

"You know you're the first wereperson who's fallen for a vampire?" Alcide asked Maria

"I guess I am. After what Bill did, Eric isn't him." Maria said

"Are you going to your job?" Alcide asked Maria

"I need a distraction. Going back to work is the best thing." Maria said

"Very brave. I have to go back to Jackson. Making sure Debbie and the others doesn't come back for you guys. If you guys need anything..." Alcide said as Maria finished his sentence

"We'll call. (Maria hugged Alcide.) Thank you again." Maria said

"You're welcome." Alcide said

Shreveport

Fangtasia

Maria unlock the door and goes in.

"ERIC! PAM!" Maria said

Pam appeared.

"Maria? For god sake. Will go shopping later." Pam said

"Where's Eric? I've tried calling him." Maria said

"How about a drink?" Pam asked Maria

"Pam? Spill it? What do you know?" Maria asked Pam

Pam sighs.

"I'm not aloud to tell you. It's for your own safety." Pam said

Stackhouse Residence.

Living room.

"Where's Alcide?" Maria asked her sister

"He's gone back to Jackson. Debbie burnt down Janice's salon." Sookie said

"Debbie gone full on psycho." Maria said

"Yep. (Maria is worried about Eric.) I've read your mind earlier. Not a word from Eric?" Sookie asked her sister

"No." Maria said

"Maybe Bill can..." Sookie said as her sister cuts her off

"I shot Bill because of two things. One he left Tara and two he drain you. I'm getting a feeling he might be hiding something." Maria said

"Bill would never lie to me." Sookie said

"He knows something. I know you can't hear his thoughts. But see it in his eyes." Maria said

Maria sniffs.

"What's wrong?" Sookie asked her sister

Cousin Hadley comes in.

"Sookie. Maria." Hadley said

"Hadley?" Both Stackhouse sisters said

Maria and her sister hugged their cousin.

"Where have you been?" Sookie asked her cousin

"Is...? Is Gran here?" Hadley asked both of her cousins

"You better sit down." Maria said

Maria, her sister, and cousin Hadley are in the kitchen. Both Stackhouse sisters explain to their cousin about Grans death, Maria not a Stackhouse and that she's a weretiger. Their cousin is crying.

"I should've called, and said I was sorry for running away from that rehab. Grans dead and I didn't know about you." Hadley said

"I may not be a Stackhouse. But I feel like one through and through." Maria said

"I have to cut to the chase. I didn't come here to visit. I've got a message for you two from Eric Northman." Hadley said

"Eric? How is he?" Maria asked her cousin

"He's doing ok. He's stalling." Hadley said

Maria is confused.

"Stalling?" Maria said

"He's saying Russell is coming. He also said "Don't trust Bill." Hadley said

"What does all this have to do with you, anyway?" Sookie asked her cousin

"I've gotta go." Hadley said

Hadley quickly gets up.

"Hadley, wait. You can't just leave like this." Maria said

"I've got to. And so should you guys. They're coming." Hadley said

"Russell was powerful enough to kidnap Bill." Sookie said

"Pam isn't telling me what's Eric up too." Maria said

"Sookie, you're special. Russell wants you." Hadley said

"If he wants me, he's gonna find me, no matter where I run." Sookie said

"If they find you, they're gonna do horrible things. I'm so sorry. I hope someday you can forgive me." Hadley said

Hadley is about to leave.

"Forgive you for what?" Sookie asked her cousin

Sookie read her cousin mind. Hadley leaves.

"Hadley!" Sookie said

"Hadley, wait!" Maria said

"She told them about me." Sookie said

"We better prepare ourselves." Maria said

"Tonight, you need to get Bill." Sookie said

"BULLSHIT!" Maria said

Sookie giving her sister a pouty face.

"Please." Sookie said

"No. Not the pouty face. Not the pouty face when we were children. We're adults now. (Maria is frustrated and she exhale.) Fuck. Fine." Maria said

Nighttime.

Compton Residence.

Living room.

"Sookie needs you. Something I hate to admit after what you did." Maria said

"I couldn't rescue Tara at the time and I didn't mean to drain Sookie." Bill said

"I'm only here for Sookies protection. Russell and his wolves are almost here. Sookie is hiding in her room with the shotgun. We better hurry." Maria said

Bill and Jessica disappeared and Maria turn into her tiger form and ran off.

Graveyard.

Maria growling as she come face to with a wolf. Her and the wolf charged at each other. Begin to fight. She chewed him up.
