Before the sun could fully rise, Morgan cast a spell on the container to prevent the sound of the doors from waking up the three two-fanged vampires, even adding a shade that would only activate if the doors opened while the sun was in the sky. She didn't want to leave Eric, but she had another mate, wanting to make sure both of them were safe, shooting a text to Alcide, informing him of her location. Truth be told, she knew the Authority wouldn't do anything to her, but it was best if she went with Eric and Bill, especially since they could use her as leverage if they wanted to. And if a single hair was harmed on her head, it would most likely start a war between the two-fanged and the four-fanged vampires. There were only a few differences between the two species -- the literal four fangs, lighter colored eyes and a few different special abilities like speed and strength, mind reading, visions of the future. Two-fangs appeared as human, naturally heightened speed and strength, getting stronger as they get older.
She made sure to leave a note for the three, promising to return as soon as she could -- if she could -- but not giving them an exact time. If she couldn't return, then she would scry for Eric and head in that location. When she walked into a diner that was close by, she looked around for a second before going to the bathroom, desperately needing a toilet and a toothbrush, glad she carried a small one in her shoulder bag just in case. Morgan looked down at her phone, receiving a text from Alcide, which informed her that he was close, a slow breath emitting from her as she called her father, holding the her phone between her ear and shoulder while washing her hands.
"Good morning, daughter" Louis greeted "you're up earlier than usual"
"I need a favor" Morgan said "Bill and Eric, they're in some kind of trouble with the Authority. They want them to face the true death, even after they stopped Marnie" hearing a sigh from her father, drying her hands "I don't particularly care about Bill. But you're a king, too, can you help Eric? You have ties with the Authority as well, don't you?"
"How do you know they're in trouble?" He asked
"I was there when they were trapped in a net of silver" removing the small crusties from her eyes "a few foot soldiers were going to bring me to wherever they're located, luckily Eric got us out. I don't really know where I am, but I'm close to a dock" walking out of the bathroom
"I will do what I can" promising her "if you need anything else, please call me"
"I will" a relieved sigh emitting from her "thank you"
"You don't have to thank me" as she walked back outside "mates are rare for most vampires, but I will do what I can to help you protect yours"
They ended the call, Morgan putting her phone away as a familiar truck pulled up, Alcide getting out as soon as it was parked and running over to his mate. Their arms wrapped around one another, the werewolf inhaling her scent, and she couldn't help but do the same.
"Where the hell have you been?" He asked, pulling back slightly, looking at her
"It's a long story" she replied "I just wanted to make sure you were okay"
"I'm fine, darlin" he assured
". . What's wrong?" seeing something different in his eyes
". . It's Russell Edgington" looking at her "he's on the loose"
It took a minute to get a reaction out of her, a groan emitting from her as she pulled away, running her hands through her hair.
"Son of a bitch!" throwing her hands down "as if this day couldn't get any fucking worse!"
To say she wanted to hit something was an understatement, she wanted to burn something to the ground, and even then, she wasn't sure if that was going to make her feel any better.
"We gotta tell Sook" looking at him "he'll be coming after her"
"What about Eric?" Alcide asked, genuinely concerned for him
"He'll be fine" letting out a sigh "I'll do a spell . . ?" thinking for a moment, nodding slightly "I'll do a spell. To bind our lives. I'll explain on the way, but I want you to really think about it"

The truck pulled up to Sookie's house, the lot of them climbing out. Morgan and Alcide instantly walked up to the porch, the woman opening the door, walking inside without even knocking. If one wanted to get technical, it was her house, she owned it, so she could come and go as she pleased.
"Sook?" Morgan called out
"Oh, hey, Morgan" Sookie said as she walked down the stairs "what's up?"
"We need to talk" looking at her
"Sure" she smiled "why don't you wait in the living room and I'll pour us some lemonade?"
Sookie made her way over to the kitchen, leaving the two of them standing there for a moment, Morgan gesturing for Alcide to go ahead as she walked to the kitchen,
"Need a hand?" She asked
"Nope, I got it" the blonde replied, setting a pitcher of lemonade on the table
Morgan spotted something on the kitchen floor, causing her to walk over to it and pick it up, raising an eyebrow when she saw that it was a tooth, the root still attached to it. She turned around, seeing Sookie's pale complexion, Morgan dropping the tooth in her hand, closing her fingers around it as Alcide walked in the kitchen next,
"I thought you were waiting in the living room" Sookie said "plus, the kitchen's a mess. I was hoping you wouldn't see it"
"You kidding?" Alcide asked, looking around "this is the cleanest kitchen I ever saw. Even smells clean. Like lemons om top of ammonia on top of bleach"
"Nothing's ever clean enough to this girl" Morgan informed "glasses are over there, if you wouldn't mind, bubs"
He gave her a small nod, turning around toward a cabinet, his eyes landing on the lack of hinges,
"What happened here?" He asked
"I saw that open cabinet look in Southern Living" Sookie replied "what do you think?"
"I think you'll want to do the same on the other side" shrugging slightly as he grabbed three glasses
He placed them on the table, allowing Sookie to pour the lemonade,
"So . ." She trailed off "what was so important that you couldn't call?" glancing at Morgan
". . It's Russell Edgington" honesty in her voice "he's on the loose"
"On the loose?" confusion in her voice "Russell Edgington is dead"
"Oh, that fucking asshole" she muttered "Bill never told you?"
"Never told me what?" looking at her
