Awakening

A low sigh emitted from Morgan's nose as she walked inside Merlotte's, rubbing the back of her neck, tired because she hadn't slept all night. Sam never had a problem with her wandering around the building, especially since she would sometimes help out in the kitchen when the weather got colder and she would make her chowder. So she took the liberty of walking toward the kitchen, smiling when she saw a familiar figure,

"Hey, Beau" she greeted

"Hey, girlfriend" he replied, looking at her ". . listen . . about Marnie . ."

"You didn't join hands" she said "Eric doesn't hold any kind of grudge against you, I promise. You don't gotta worry about him"

"Thanks" grateful for her "what can I get you? Anything you want"

"Fish and chips" smiling lightly

"Coming right up" giving her a nod "wait at the bar, I'll get it to you"

She returned the gesture, walking away from the kitchen area and sitting at the bar, Lex leaning back against the wood next to her, knowing how tired she was. There were eyes on her, Morgan could feel them burning into her skin, causing her to turn around on the stool, her eyes connecting with a few people that were in the circle, spotting Tara speaking to another witch. The blonde smiled, giving her a nod, which caused Tara to smile as well, the two of them standing up and walking to the others. She hadn't noticed Morgan's entry, who didn't really want to know what they were talking about, but she had a feeling she was going to anyway.

"Hey, Morgan" a female voice spoke up

"No" she replied

"You don't even know what I was going to say" her eyebrows furrowing slightly

"Antonia Gavilán de Logroño" looking at her matte black nails "she's creating a circle, and you became her servant"

"Morgan, please" sitting down next to her "the bigger we make this circle, the better we can protect ourselves, from those vampires"

"One of those vampires happens to be one of the loves of my life" looking at her with a glare "his life is in danger because of her, and you're asking me to join a circle to help kill him" shaking her head slightly "I can't believe you. I saved you, helped you get out of Bon Temps, helped you find a place in New Orleans, and now you want me to basically kill Eric? Hard fucking pass, Tara"

Tara looked at her for a moment, letting out a low sigh through her nose, knowing she was right. She gave her a small nod, walking back to the others, who had also wanted her to join, but she refused to do so, a male presence appearing behind her,

"Leave me alone, Chris" she said, looking back at the bar

"I just wanted to check on you" defending himself "can you blame me?" leaning again the bar at her other side "it doesn't look like you're doing too good"

"I am tired" rolling her eyes "and I am not in the mood for you right now" glancing at him

"When will you be?" looking at her "I've tried like hell this last year to get you back, but you won't even give me a chance. You don't know how much I miss you, baby" reaching out

"Touch her and you lose your hand" Lex snapped lowly

Chris looked at him for a moment, lowering his hand, but leaning in a little closer,
