Eric P.O.V

Following Salome's visit, I rested in my room. I expected more visions of Maria's past but didn't get any. Instead, I got fragments of her chasing someone in the woods & talking with an angry Alcide. I had no idea what to make of them. All I could figure out that these might be recent events. I wasn't surprised that she was in trouble again. I was relieved that Russell wasn't showing up.

After a few hours of peace, the guards came to collect me again. They brought me to an elevator. Bill was also brought along. We walked into it alone & headed up. They stuffed us in a car & drove out. After a while, the route started to become familiar. They dumped us outside of Shreveport. They gave a friendly reminder to not fuck off before tossing keys. Bill picked them up.

"Well, apart from these, your escape ploy worked brilliantly." I commented as I checked the Istake

"I'm a bit surprised myself." he replied as I scanned the area

"We don't have many suspects of who broke Russell out." Bill nervously brought up

"Only 4 of us knew where he was." I said

It was clear we were a little fucked. We would have to start checking leaks amongst who knew. With the Authority tracking us, we had to get a move on. Bill pressed the keys & found a car hidden in the bushes. I let him drive as we headed to my bar for our 1st lead: Pam.

Maria/Tes P.O.V

I ran away from them pretty fast. I shut Sook out of my head. I didn't want to hear her pleas to come back. I hung around the river before going to Jason. He was the only one I felt like talking to. I knocked repeatedly on his door.

"Maria. Ain't you working tonight?" He surprisingly asked

"I needed to talk to you. I fucked up." I said as I pushed my way in

"What the hell happened now?" He worried

"I killed Debbie Pelt." I blurted out

"What? Don't play." He glared

"I'm not. I killed her. I turned into that bat thing & cut her head off." I stated

"You're not kidding are you?" He muttered

"I can show you the body. I buried her myself." I said

"Jesus Christ." He muttered

"I've confessed. Let's go to the station & book me." I decided as I grabbed his hand

"Hell no. I ain't arresting you because this conversation never happened." He refused

"For fucks sake Jason. Alcide is going to come to the station tomorrow repeating everything I told you. Please get this over with & let me atone for this." I begged

"I ruin everything good. I have a mountain of bodies behind me. Oceans of blood. It's what I do best. I'm a killer! I got Tara killed protecting Sookie. I let Pam turn her into a monster. My best friend hates me forever." I frustratedly yelled

"Jason, please. Please stop me before I ruin anyone else's life." I cried

"Tara's a vampire? You've got to be fucking kidding me." Jessica mumbled

"Oh fuck." I groaned as I looked her way. Now I had to recap the shit storm to both of them.

Eric P.O.V

Bill drove immediately to Fangtasia. I was surprised that he didn't try to make a stop at Sookie's. I could tell he was worried but the I-stakes ensured we couldn't divert. We made it to my bar in decent time. It was a few hours until dawn & the club was in full swing.
