Next day.
Morning.
Maria couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about what Eric asked her. She got out of bed, got dressed, went downstairs, and entered the kitchen. Tara, her sister, was there. Sookie poured her a cup of coffee and handed it to her.
"Thanks." Maria thanked her sister
"Are you okay?" Sookie asked Maria
Maria took a sip of her coffee.
"I'm fine." Maria lied.
Sookie and Tara are worried about her.
"What did you and Eric talk about?" Tara asked Maria.
"Nothing much. Just needed some time to think. It's not about my relationship with him. It's something else. Sis, don't read my mind. Please respect that." Maria said
Merlottes
Maria walked inside. Sam walked away from her.
"Sam Merlotte, you need to stop right now!" Maria said.
Sam stopped and turned around.
"What do you want, Maria?" Sam asked.
"Life is a bitch. You and I argued because you gave me a choice. Stay and keep my house going or go out to the world to find Sookie. I've been gone for a year to find her. But she came back. She's here now. It's not my fault. Stop holding a grudge against me." Maria said
Maria leaves.
Shreveport.
Maria was outside talking to Ginger.
"Please, Ging? Just let me talk to her." Maria asked
Ginger sighs.
"I can't. She changed the locks since yesterday." Ginger said.
Maria eyes turns into green cat eyes and seeing Ginger terrified. She let her through. Her eyes were back to normal. Maria walking towards the office. She sees the coffin and opens it and sees Pam sleeping. Pam open her eyes, she got up with her vamp speed, put Maria in a choke hold, and pin her against the wall. She was pissed at her.
"What...the hell are you doing here?" Pam asked.
Pam about to squeeze Maria neck.
"You hate me cause you think I stole your best friend. U and I were friends. Like a love and hate friend." Maria said
"Our friendship was a lie." Pam said
"No it's not and if you kill me now he'll never forgive you. You'll never get what its like to be a...family." Maria said
Pam let Maria go and she started coughing. Pam slapped Maria on the face. Pam crying in bloody tears.
"Get the hell out of here." Pam said
Maria walked out of Fangtasia and got shot by a tranquilizer dart on the right side of her neck.
"Not again." Maria said
Maria fell down asleep.
It was night time.
Maria wakes up outside of Bills house and in the cage. Her ex boyfriend Quinn was in another cage and the other weretigers was holding her father still. Marnie in Lafayettes body possessing him while Bill and Eric tied up with chains of silver together on top of the pyre.
"What the hell is this?" Maria asked confusion
"Vampires must be destroyed." Lafayette/Marnie said
"Lafayette this isn't you." Maria said
"It's not Lafayette." Eric said
Maria figured it out.
"Marnie." Maria said
Lafayette/Marnie nodded.
"Hurts the ones you love." Stacy said
"Let them go." Quinn said
"Those two are vampires, she and her sister are involved with them, and Alistair will back up his own daughter." Stacy said
"This isn't right." Quinn said
Maria needs to find a way to break the cage. She sees her sister, Holly, and Tara showing up. Sookie is worried shes going to lose Bill and she knows that Maria is going to lose Eric and her father.
"Sookie." Maria said
"As your friend Lafayette would say, what goes around comes around, bitches." Lafayette/Marnie said
"Lafayette...and Marnie. Please don't do this." Tara said
"After all what they did? You protect them?" Lafayette/Marnie asked Tara in confusion
"Killing Bill and Eric isn't gonna make any of that go away." Tara said
"Revenge will never bring you peace." Eric said
"There can't be peace until there is justice for me, for Antonia... For all the women you tortured...And burned for centuries! (Holly chants and made a big circle full of salt. The weretigers wanted ti know what she's up too.) All to repress a magic that's older and more powerful than your very existence. Sink all evil. Sink it to the ground thrice." Lafayette/Marnie said
"They must be stopped." Stacy said
"Sookie I'm going to break out of this. I'm going to let the tigers submit to me. You, Holly, and Tara focus on Bill and Eric. I know Holly's got something up her sleeve." Maria thinking
Sookie stopped reading Marias mind.
"Incendia!" Lafayette/Marnie chants
Fire appeared around Bill and Eric. They're screaming in pain. Sookie blasted Lafayette/Marnie with her fairy powers. Lafayette/Marnie landed on the ground. Stood back up with a demon face. Maria turned into a weretiger. She's trying to break free out of her cage. Lafayette/Marnie is starting to chant. Maria used all of her strength to break the cage door, and she's finally free. Stacy turned into a weretiger and started fighting her brutally. Lafayette/Marnie is being blocked outside of forcefield as Holly, Tara, and Sookie started chanting. Maria pinned her on her back. Those two turned back into their human forms. The other weretigers started walking towards them, but they stopped when Maria digged her claws in Stacy's skin.
"Take one more step, and I'll kill her. Submit now or perish for what comes next." Maria said as she threatened them
One of the weretigers let go of Alistair. Maria lets go of Stacy.
"Lets go home, Stace. This isn't our battle." Stacy's brother said
The weretigers leave. Maria looked at Eric in a fearful look as did Sookie look at Bill the same way. Ghosts appeared. The witch Antonia appeared.
"Marnie." Antonia said
Lafayette/Marnie was surprised to see Antonia again.
"You came back to me. I knew you would." Lafayette/Marnie said
"Antonia, no!" Lafayette/Marnie said
"All creatures have their purpose, even vampires." Antonia said
"How can you say that? They murder us!" Lafayette/Marnie said
"Their cruelty served its purpose... to bring you and I together. And now I am here to take you home." Antonia said
"I'm not finished yet." Lafayette/Marnie said
Gran appeared.
"Oh, yes, you are." Gran said
Gran dragged Marnie out of Lafayettes body.
"Gran?" Sookie said
"I meant to talked to you about that. Let's just say Gran kind of contacted me and warned me about Marnie at the time." Maria said as she explained
"Holy Goddess." Holly said
"Holy shit. Lafayette!" Tara said
Tara ran towards her cousin. He's unconscious. She ran towards him
"I don't want to go. I am not ready." Marnie said
"I was trapped between worlds for 400 years. Lost and driven mad by my rage. I do not want that for you." Antonia said
"And what about what I want? Nobody cares what I want!" Marnie said
Sookie puts a jacket on her sister to cover her up. Maria walks up 2 her Gran, Marnie, and Antonia.
"I don't know anything about death." Maria said
"I am. So whats the point?" Marnie said
"You are dead. Yes. But you have another thing. What Antonia is telling you right now is that you are not alone. Witch, ghost, whatever. Eric and Bill fight like brothers. Tara is like a sister between me and Sookie. Gran right there. She isn't my biological grandmother. But she was there for me and raised me like her own. Truth is on the other side you have family now. Antonia loves you." Maria said
"That's right, honey! Let it all out...'Cause there's no room for that where we're goin'." Gran said
Marnie walked away with Antonia.
"Gran? (Sookie walked towards her grandmother.) Please don't go." Sookie said
"I have to, dear." Gran said
"I'm so lost without you. I don't know what to do about Bill." Sookie said
"You with Bill. I'm still trying to figure out my future with Eric." Maria said
"Answer's where it always is...in both of your hearts. Sookie. Bein' alone, it ain't nothing to be afraid of. Maria. Whatever you decide nobody not even he will never judge you." Gran said
Gran faded away just like the other ghosts. Tara trying to wake up her cousin. He wakes up.
"Excuse me. We're feeling a little crispy up here." Eric said
Inside Compton Residence.
In another room.
Maria in new clothes and Eric drinking her blood from her neck. He stopped.
"You haven't answer my question yesterday about..." Eric said as Maria cuts him off
She covered his mouth with her hand. She mouth out words
"We have ears.". She put her hand down.
"It was surprising. I don't want to be like Sookie who turned it down. Truth is you haven't done it right." Maria said
"What do you mean by that?" Eric asked Maria in confusion
"You have to figure that out yourself." Maria said
Maria opens the door and closed it behind her.
Claws.
Everybody bowed at Maria. She was confused.
"What's going on?" Maria asked everybody
"Everyone sees you as the alpha now." Alistair said
"No. No. Look I'm not your leader." Maria said
"But..." Stacy's brother said as Maria cuts him off
"No. You guys need a leader who's trust worthy and who's always there for you guys. You guys want a leader I'm not that person. (Maria looked at Quinn.) But I know who will take the job. Quinn." Maria said
Quinn was confused.
"Me?" Quinn said
Maria walked up towards Stacy.
"And Stacy." Maria said
"You did. Act of jealousy and you still have feelings for him. And he feels the same way about you. (Maria looked back at Quinn.) You and I aren't destined. You and Stacy are." Maria said
Quinn walked up towards Stacy.
"I'm..." Quinn said as Stacy cuts him off
Stacy kissed him. She stopped.
"I know." Stacy said
"I pronounce these 2 as Alpha couple." Maria said
Outside of Stackhouse Residence.
Maria walked inside and hears crying. She ran in the kitchen and see dead Debbie. Debbie brain splatter everywhere. Sookie comfort Tara as she was dead.
