Maria made it back to her house. Jessica was there.
"You may not want to go back in your house." Jessica said
Maria turn back into her human form and now she's naked.
"Is Sookie ok?" Maria asked Jessica
"Despite of fighting the strongest vampire and a couple werewolves. Sookie and Bill are..." Jessica said as Maria cuts her off
"I don't want to know." Maria said
"Russell Edgington freaked out and just flew off." Jessica said
"Eric killed his progeny. Can you give me my clothes?" Maria asked Jessica
Jessica speed inside the house and gets out of the house with Maria's clothes. She gives them to her. Maria puts her clothes on.
"Why don't you trust Bill?" Jessica asked Maria
"Do you have to ask? (Jessica waiting for an answer.) He hurt Tara. He drain Sookie. Oh, wait. They're making love. Too much shit going on here." Maria said
Maria getting in her car.
"Where are you going?" Jessica asked Maria
"Eric is in trouble. The vampire authority is going to be asking some questions. He needs a witness." Maria said
Maria drove off.
Shreveport.
Outside of Fangtasia.
"Get out of my way." Maria said
"You're not authorized to be in there." Vampire said
"I know two vampires who live and work here. (The vampire sighs. He stepped aside.) Thank you." Maria thanking the vampire
Maria went inside and sees Eric and Pam chained up in Silver. Nan Flanagan.
"Oh good. The weretiger is here." Nan said
"This tiger has a name. It's Maria. I'm willing to talk." Maria said
"Maria get out of here." Eric said
"Actually we've got all the proof that we need." Nan said
"Russell was after my sister. He attack me and my friend because we were protecting her. She didn't do anything. She didn't kill another vampire. He was after her again with werewolves. Those wolves are addicted to V. I wasn't there for Sookie the second time. Jessica told me that Russell freaked out and flew off. I put the pieces together. His lover was killed." Maria said
"Your boyfriend here killed his lover." Nan said
"I've sort of notice part of that equation." Maria said
Nan looked at the other vampires.
"Let them go. (They took chains off of Eric and Pam. Maria walked to Eric and hugged him.) The Authorities will review your statement against the franquely strong possibility that I've lost an entire night of spends hearing time to promoting the V.R.A, and also listened to a lot of bullshit. But some do believe in a fair hearing." Nan said
"Miss Flanagan, Russel Edgington is a treat to our very existence." Eric said
"But he is a king. One who's just donned an half million dollars to the same Vampire American League then you say he is trying to break down. Weird, Um? Bring it up a couple of coffins for Sheriff Northman from his progeny and his tiger girlfriend. You are locked down, to the Authority makes his ruling." Nan said
Maria stopped hugging Eric.
"You...(Eric stopped Maria. Nan and the other vampires goes away, leaving Eric, Maria, and Pam alone.) I don't understand. I've explain it to her. What more could she want?" Maria asked in confusion
"Sookie is special." Eric said
"She's a telepath. There was light powers." Maria said
"This is important." Eric said
"What is it?" Maria asked Eric
"She's part human and part fairy." Eric said
"Oh my god. It explains her blood. Vampires addiction." Maria said
"I found out from your cousin Hadley. She told me when she was with Sophie Anne." Eric said
"Let me get you a drink." Pam said
"Something stronger." Maria said
Next day.
Maria talking to her sister on the phone.
"You didn't tell me you were going anywhere." Sookie said
"Jessica told me you were a little busy at the moment. (Sookie froze on the phone.) Exactly." Maria said
"It's not what you think." Sookie said
Maria hangs up. She went to the basement and checking on Eric and Pam.
"You two feel a little weak." Maria said
"We're fine." Eric said
"You both are not fine. You told me that when it's daylight or that you're not asleep you can get sick." Maria said
"We're out of trubloods." Eric said
"They won't let you out." Pam said
Maria offers both of her wrists to Eric and Pam.
"Take a little." Maria said
Pam and Eric sink their teeth into Maria's wrists and she groans in pain. They stopped. Maria feels dizzy. Eric was worried about her.
"You ok?" Eric asked Maria
"Feeling a little..." Maria said
Maria fainted. Eric catches her. He bit his own wrist and made Maria drink his blood. She started healing.
Nighttime.
Eric, Maria, and Pam are waiting at the bar. Nan came inside.
"The ruling is that follows: the Authorities deny any knowledge of our interview, your statement or indead this ruling it-self. None of this never happened." Nan said
Eric is confused.
"What?" Eric said
"That is bullshit." Maria said
"Missing of the Queen, death of Magister, it's a political tare, baby, no one wants to touch, not that the V.R.A is so close to ratification." Nan said
"Russel will not stop killing. What if the human public hear of it?" Eric asked Nan
"That's why you're gonna take care of it. Quietly, discreetly and most important off all completely out of the box. You wanted revenge. It's yours." Nan said
"What resource are you gonna give me?" Eric asked Nan
"None. We're not gonna near it." Nan said
"How are you expecting me to kill him? He is three times my age." Eric said
"Listen, you whiner little bitch. The only link between Sophie-Anne, Russel end the Magister is you. You bring this big pile of shit, and you're gonna make it go away. Bring me his fangs. Or I'll take yours." Nan said
Nan leaves.
"Pam? Go in the office. I need to talk to Maria alone." Eric said
Pam walked out.
"What did she mean by revenge? I know you killed Russell's lover. Getting even. Tell me what's going on?" Maria asked Eric
"1,000 years ago he killed my family." Eric said
"That's one thing you left out yesterday." Maria said
"I wanted to find the man who was responsible for my families death. Now I got him." Eric said
Eric cried in bloody tears. Maria hugged him.
"I know what you're going through." Maria said
Pam walked out of the office.
"You two need to watch the news." Pam said
Pam turns the TV on. Maria and Eric stopped hugging. Russel is on TV. He takes his sternum away from the presenter.
"Is that help you to decide, American? Do not turn off the camera! You see how quickly I can kill. Ladies and gentleman, my name is Russel Edgington. And I have been a vampire for near than tree thousands years. Now, the American Vampire League wish to perpetrate the idea than we are just like you, and I suppose than in a few small way we are. We are narcissistic. We care only about quite we want, no matter what's the cost. Just like you. Global warming, perpetual war, toxic waste, child laborer, torture, genocide. That's a small price to pay for your SUV and your flat at screen TV, your blood diamond and your designer jeans or your seat absurd and flashy. Futile symbols to succor your trembling and poor soul. But no. At the end, we are nothing like you. We are...immortal. Because we drink the true blood. Blood who is living, organic and human. And that is the truth. The L.V.A is just wish you to can't see. Because that's fixed, eating people is getting complicated these days. So they put on their friendly faces to pass off the V.R.A. But make no mistakes. Mine is the true face of vampires! Why would we seek equal rights? You are not our equals. We will eat you, and after we'll eat your children. Now time for the weather, Tiffany?" Russel said
Eric turned it off.
"He's going down." Maria said
"Go home." Eric said
Maria kissed Eric.
