Awakening

"Are you alright, Älskling?" Eric asked, looking down at his mate

". . About as alright as I can get, I guess" Morgan replied "considering what a shit-show that was back there. Oh, and Alcide is at the house with his father" looking at him "I told him to head there before all that stuff went down"

"He'll be safest there" nodding slightly

Morgan looked over toward Nora and Jason, letting out a low groan when she saw the vampire glamouring the human, the two of them walking over toward the pier where they stood,

"He's a vampire" Jason informed "he murdered my parents, he ruined my life"

"He murdered your parents?" Nora asked "Warlow did? Are you sure?"

"Yep" nodding slightly "the faeries channeled natures memories and then he was floating in the air is Sookie's bathroom"

"Ridiculous" Eric commented, causing Nora to look at him, breaking her glamour

"Gah!" Jason exclaimed, pulling back from Nora and aiming his gun at her "I am sick as fuck of you bloodsuckers brain-raping me against my will. So you're gonna tell me where Warlow is or I'll put a wooden bullet through your dead, stinkin' heart! So help me Jesus"

"Yeah?" Eric asked, his fangs extending "try it"

"Boy, you think I'm afraid of dying?" looking at him "I've been dead inside ever since I found out that vamper killed my parents" looking at Nora "so you gonna tell me where Warlow is or we both die. Either way works for me"

"I can't tell you where Warlow is" Nora replied "because I've never laid eyes on him. He's in the Book of Lilith, the Vampire Bible. He was Lilith's progeny, one of the first of our kind"

"Jason!" Sookie called out, running toward the pier with Jessica

"Oh, my god!" The redhead added "what are you doing?"

"Stay" Jason ordered

"Apparently our siblings don't get along" Eric commented "the only reason yours is still alive is out of courtesy to my Älskling"

"Jason, put the gun down" Morgan ordered

"Listen to her" Tara spoke up, having used her speed to step on to the pier

"This ain't none of your business, fanger" Jason replied

"What'd you just call me, Jason Stackhouse?" anger in her voice

"He's been out of his mind all night" Jessica said "he doesn't know what he's saying"

"Like hell I don't" Jason said, grabbing Nora by her shoulder and pressing the barrel of the gun closer to her chest, earning a growl from Eric

Jason was suddenly thrown back a few feet from the female vampire, but no one had moved, not even Nora, the human landing on the wood of the pier. But those who knew what happened had looked toward Morgan, who walked toward Nora and stood in front of her, Jason pushing himself to his feet, raising his gun toward Nora once more, only to hesitate slightly when he saw Morgan.

"What the fuck?" He asked

"Go ahead" she replied "but you'll have to shoot me, too"

"How could you choose them over your family?" glaring at her "even after what they did to Mama and Daddy"

"They didn't do anything" gesturing to the others "Warlow did. Just because one committed murder, doesn't mean all of them are guilty. You're acting crazy right now"

"You're the crazy one, you freak" he spat "you love these vamps more then your own family"

"They are my family" ignoring the sting in her chest "just as much as you are, no matter what you say"

"As far as I'm concerned, you're as dead to me as they are" backing away from them "both of you"

He turned around and ran away from them, his gun aimed in the air as he gained more distance,

"Jason!" Sookie called out

"Let him get it out of his system" Tara said "he'll come to his senses"

". . Morgan?" Pam asked "are you alright?"

". . Peachy" the witch replied

A sudden gasp emitted from Jessica as she grasped her chest, causing the other to turn toward her,

"Jess, what is it?" Sookie asked

"Oh, God" she gasped, turning around and walking away "it's Bill, he's summoning me"

"Where is he?" Eric asked

"I don't know, but my body sure does" shaking her head slightly "maybe if he's pulling me, then maybe he's still Bill"

"Will someone please stop her?" Morgan asked

Eric used his speed, now standing in front of Jessica and placing his hands on her shoulders, physically stopping her in her tracks. But as he did, blood spurted out of her mouth, landing on his shirt,

"Lovely" he muttered

"I'm sorry" she groaned

"What happening to her?" Morgan asked

"Is this normal?" Sookie added

"I've never seen anything like it" Eric said as Jessica fell to her knees

"Well, honey, it's been nice knowing you" Pam commented "good luck. I assume you after this is none of our fucking business?" looking at Eric

"Of course this is our business" Nora said "it's all of our business. Lilith incarnate will bring death and destruction to humans and vampires alike"

"Please . ." Jessica trailed off with a pained scream as she fell to the floor completely "Bill, stop! It feels like his fist is squeezing my heart!" ripping the top of her shirt, revealing blood pooling under her skin, more screams emitting from her

"We have to take her to him now" Sookie said

"Whatever Billith is, he's not worth dying for" Pam added

"I'm taking her to Bill, with or without any of you" looking at the others

"Be careful" Morgan spoke up

Her words caused Jessica to push herself to her feet, walking to the car with Sookie behind her,

"Seriously?" Tara asked "if no one else is going with her, I will" following after them

She grunted as Eric grabbed her by the back of her neck, the older vampire pushing her back toward Pam,

"Take your progeny back to Fangtasia and wait for us there" he instructed, glancing at Nora "let's go"

"Please, don't do this" Pam said, standing in front of him "we can't --"

"Get out of my way, Pam" looking at her "how many ways do I have to say it?"

He walked around her, making his way over to Morgan and suddenly picking her up bridal-style, her arms instantly wrapping around his neck, tucking her head in as he and Nora took to the sky, leaving Pam and Tara behind on the pier.
