I watch as a woman runs down the stairs 

"Rush, quick. l help." Some russian lady says as she walks up to me 

"l thought you were on Eric's team." I screech at her and she laughs 

"Him? Big, blond stupid. I hate." she states and I laugh 

"Me too. He's a two-faced snaky son of a bitch. " I cry

"Bastard and bitch Pam." she responds 

"You're preaching to the choir. Get me out of this hole." I cry as she undoes my cuffs I rush up the stairs as I see Pam spraying Bill with something and I scream in her direction and watch her fly back I watch as the russian runs over and covers her neck in silver 

"What did she do to you?  Your poor face. Can you see?" I cry as I touch Bills eyes that are now red from the silver 

"No, but I will heal." he states and I look to the Russian

"Secure Pam. We can't let her call Eric." I say and she nods 

"I secure. I secure, no kidding." she states 

"Why did Eric throw me down there? Answer me! Or l'll spray you." I cry picking up the spray from the ground and running over to Pam. She gasps 

"You were supposed to be a gift for Edgington. Now we're all gonna die because of one freaky little human." she cries and I smirk 

"Good." I hiss but Bill pulls me back 

"We have to go. Eric may come back." he says and I nod 

"Don't leave me alone with this idiot immigrant." I hear Pam cry behind us 

"Why did you go to Eric?" Bill cries as we sit in the car 

 "l had to ask him a question." I respond 

"What question?" he says 

"It doesn't matter." i whisper 

"Look what he did to you. He's betrayed you, used you, drawn you into danger. I've made mistakes trying to keep you safe, but l'm nothing like Eric." he says looking nervous 

"Of course you're not. I love you, Bill, but after this whole Mississippi mess...l'd be a crazy woman to trust either of you." i respond 

"You have feelings for him?" Bill says and I sigh 

"Not "feelings" feelings. I drank his blood. l can't help it. You weren't there on that roof with Godric. I saw a whole other side to him, and it was real." I whisper and Bill sighs 

"When this is over, let's begin again. We'll be new." he says and I shake my head 

"Will we? I don't know if people change, even when they try." I say and he sighs 

"We can if we want too. Do you want to?" He whispers and I take my hand off the steering wheel to touch his hand 

"You know I do" I whisper "I tell you what, that dungeon this time did me in." I sigh 

"Well, if you'd stayed put as l asked you to...." he says turning to look at me 

"I know. But I was sitting there in the dark... and l thought, "I am done with this shit." I say laughing 

"That's why we need a fresh start. We'll be free of it, I promise you." he states 

"What would that be like? Who would we be if we were normal? It's hard to even picture it Would we live in Gran's house or your house?" I ask turning to smile at him 

"Both. We'd be married, happily married." he says 

"And l'm not a waitress anymore. I'm going back to college. l'm really rich as a psychologist" I state and he laughs 

"I teach third grade and I love my job. We'll have a big flower garden. We grow vegetables." He says 

"Tara comes over for dinner... and sometimes we double-date with Arlene and Terry." I say laughing 

"And l go fishing with Jason." he states 

"We don't even know Eric Northman. Everything is peaceful." I say smiling at him one more time before I look back at the road. But suddenly Eric and the King appear and I gasp trying to slam my breaks but the King grabs the car as if it weighs nothing and stops it. I watch as he smirks. fuck. Before I know it Bill and I are forced into the back as Eric and the King get in the front but we stop in front of Fangtasia

"Everything as far as your deficient human eye can see will be mine." the King says grabbing me 

"Pride goeth before a fall." I hiss but then I watch as Eric and Bill start punching each other but the King forces me inside before I can see anything else. As I'm sitting down I watch as the king and Eric talk 

"An Angel You seriously expect me to believe she's angel? A species extinct for millennia? If they ever existed at all You think I wouldn't notice if there were angels bouncing around?" the king asks coming up behind me 

"I didn't say she was full angel. She's a human-angel hybrid...which makes her seem like a Banshee" Eric states 

"She may well be the last of her kind... your only chance to walk in the sun. Drink her blood. You'll see." Eric states and I laugh 

"Now, that's just nuts. Nothing in my blood is a supernatural sunscreen for y'all. Why would you think that?" I hiss glaring at Eric 

"Megs, you're wrong. What Eric says is true.  I never told you." Bill whispers and I roll my eyes 

"Bill's experienced it for himself." Eric states 

"Oh, well, that's reassuring. A testimonial from the mendacious Mr. Compton." The king sighs and I laugh in anger 

"A new beginning? We'll start over?" I growl 

"I can't force you to believe it. You'll have to see for yourself." Bill states and I almost feel tears in my eyes 

"Why are you doing this to me?" I cry 

"We've tried fighting him. We'll never win. If he develops a taste for your blood, he may let you live." Bill states and I place my face in my hands 

"I hate you. l hate you all." I scream 

"On one condition.  You go first." The king states looking at Eric 

"I'd love to." He says looking at me and I sneer in his face 

"Shall we?" Eric states 

"Do, let's. One caveat, gentlemen." the king responds 

"If you drain her completely, that's the last angelic blood you'll ever drink." Bill states and the king nods 

"If this is you trying to help me, thanks for nothing." I growl at Bill who just looks away but then I feel Erics cold hand on my face and he raises my chin so I'm looking in his eyes 

"Oh, for God's sake." the King sighs before grabbing me and sucking my blood and then I hear Eric growl as he bites into me as well and I scream in pain but a hand covers my mouth. When they're finally done I'm dragged to watch on the cameras as Eric walks into the sun 

"Unchain me. I have to feed Megs" Bill growls 

"Angels  Fucking angels Who knew?" the king cries excited 

"Let me go or she'll die." Bill cries 

"My hands are shaking. I feel like a little child. Thousands of years of night. You can't know." the king states and Pam smiles 

"What are you waiting for?" Pam whispers and I hear the king walk outside but on the screen I watch as Eric chains the king and both men fall down but I'm too weak to move.
