Inside the Stackhouse Residence.

Maria and Eric making out on the couch.

"The most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Eric said

"Stop talking." Maria said

Maria took Eric shirt off and he took her shirt off as well. Bill showed up. Eric get up fast.

"Bill! What the hell? (Maria put her shirt back on.) Get out! (Eric and Bill were fighting.) Stop it! (Eric put Bill in a choke hold and throws him against the wall.) Eric, stop!" Maria said

"Who is this vampire?" Eric asked Maria

"This is Bill. He's mostly an asshat and he's your king." Maria said

Eric stopped. He bow down.

"My liege. Forgive me." Eric said

Compton Residence.

Eric is arrested by guards.

"You can't do this. You have no right." Maria said

"I have every right." Bill said

Sookie ran towards them.

"Let him go." Sookie said

"I am his king." Bill said

"You're not ours." Sookie said

"Yes, you made that abundantly clear when you lied to my face." Bill said

"She was helping me. She lied for me to protect him. If anyone should be behind those bars it's me. Not him." Maria said

"Maria, no." Sookie said

"Your Majesty, whatever I'm guilty of, Maria had nothing to do with it. She was only protecting me." Eric said

"How touching. Silver him." Bill said

One of the guards put silver cuffs on Eric's wrists.

"You don't have to hurt him. Where are you taking him?" Maria asked Bill

"Maria, stop. You don't have to do this. You've done too much for me already." Eric said

The guards took Eric downstairs.

"Yes, you certainly have." Bill said

Maria punches a guard in the face and take his gun. She aims it at Bill. The other guards aim their guns at her.

"One more step and you guys clean his blood intestines with a mop." Maria said

Bill signaling the guards to put their guns down.

"You don't have your tiger powers anymore. Which means you can't attack me. (Bill snatched the gun away from Maria.) I took an oath to protect the vampires of Louisiana! Look, Eric is under the control of necromancers. He is a danger to everyone." Bill said

"No he's not. He's scared and alone. His whole life has been wiped away because you." Maria said

"I warned him and he didn't listen. He would do or say anything to make you his again!" Bill said

"So which is it? Is he a danger to everyone, or is he just faking it?" Maria asked Bill

"She's right, Bill." Sookie said

"This is strictly business. Vampire business. So for once, I strongly suggest you two stay out of it. Good night." Bill said

"I'm not leaving without Eric." Maria said

"If those two sets foot on my property again, I want them arrested for trespassing." Bill said

"Yes, sir." Guard 1 said

"This is a new low." Maria said

The guards take Maria and her sister out of Bills house.

Next day.

Merlottes.

Maria is sitting at the bar and drinking at in the daytime. Terry approaches to her.

"Daytime drinking isn't good for you. (Maria gives Terry the look.) You're upset. What's wrong?" Terry asked Maria

"My ex's memories was taken. I've tried to help him. Bill arrested him. Now I don't know how to help him." Maria said

"Bill will come to good terms." Terry said

"I doubted." Maria said

Sookie came out of the hallway and enter the bar upset.

"Let's go." Sookie said

Maria and her sister leaves.

Sookie and her sister arrives at their brothers house. They get out of the car.

"I should've took you at home." Sookie said

"I had 3 cups. I'll be fine." Maria said

"Get inside and get some water." Sookie said

Sookie and her sister went inside. Maria goes to the kitchen and get herself some water and drinks it.

"Jason?" Sookie said

"Jason? You here?" Maria said

Sookie and her sister walked to the hallway and stopped at his door.

"Maria. Sookie. What the hell are you two doin' here? Leave me alone. Get outta here." Jason said

"Jason, we can hear you in there." Sookie said

"This ain't a good time." Jason said

"Didn't you get any of our messages?" Sookie asked her brother

"No. 'Cause I'm the middle of a secret, special, police investigation here. So I need you two to back away from the door. And get outta the house, and don't come back. Do you two understand?" Jason asked both of his sisters

"Andy says you haven't showed up for work in days." Sookie said

"We're comin' in." Maria said

"No. Don't." Jason said

Maria opens the door. Her and her sister looked at their brother chained up against the bed. Maria knows what this is about. But her sister doesn't.

"God. I should have known. This is a sex thing, isn't it?" Sookie asked her brother

"No. Don't come any closer!" Jason said

"It's not a sex thing, Sook. It's a werething." Maria said

"I think I'm turning into a werepanther. (Maria unchained her brother.) What are you doing?" Jason asked his sister Maria

"One thing I left out. You're not turning into a panther. One bite from the were community does nothing. You have to be born into one. Not bitten by one. It's all in your head." Maria said

"I'm not a panther?" Jason asked his sister Maria

"You're not a panther." Maria said

"Thank god." Jason said

"The were community, vampires, shifters, faeries..." Maria said as her sister finished her sentence

"Now witches." Sookie said

"That witchy place was freaky as hell. Marnie took my powers away. She took Eric's memories and Bill arrested him cause he is a nutcase." Maria said

"I thought you were dating Quinn? (Jason figured it out.) Oh. You still have feelings for Eric. (Maria didn't say anything.) I'm sorry." Jason apologize

Maria has an idea.

"I have an idea. I have to go see Jessica." Maria said

Hoyt and Jessica's house.

Maria knocking on the door. Hoyt opens it.

"Hey, Maria." Hoyt said

"Hey, Hoyt. Can I come in?" Maria asked Hoyt

"Sure. (Maria comes in.) What's up?" Hoyt asked Maria

"I'm not here for you." Maria said

"It'll be nighttime in 5 hours." Hoyt said

"I can wait. I just need a favor from Jessica before it's to late." Maria said

5 hours now.

It was nighttime.

Jessica approaches to Maria.

"I need your help." Maria said

"Is this about Sookie? I'm not helping her with Bill." Jessica said

"It's about Eric. Bill is going to kill him if we don't do something." Maria said

"I can't. It's not my authority." Jessica said

Maria shed a tear.

"He helped you once when you turned. You owe him. Here I thought people like you would understand." Maria said

"Fine. I'll drop you off. Don't worry. I'll get him back." Jessica said

Stackhouse Residence.

Maria is waiting in the living room. The door open and it was Eric.

"The king set me free." Eric said

"I talked to Jessica. Bill's prodigy. I let her convince him to release you." Maria said

"Why?" Eric asked Maria

"Because I don't want to lose you again." Maria said

Eric ran towards Maria in his vamp speed. They started kissing each other. He picked her up, carry her upstairs, and enter her room. They started to have sex.
