martha marie klineinto the death

↳ season four

There was once a time Marie Kline had called Chrissy Cunningham a friend. Of course, that was the time before Chrissy began dating Marie’s ex-boyfriend a mere twenty-three hours and forty-nine minutes after they’d broken up. Couldn’t even wait the full twenty-four, she’d muttered bitterly under her breath. Marie and Jason never much liked each other towards the end – she’d been so distracted by the disappearance of her friend, Barb, and he, his… Whatever boys like Jason Carver cared about – but she’d at least expected him to extend the bare minimum of respect for what once was. She was gravely wrong.

And although she didn’t much like Chrissy Cunningham anymore, either, she’d never wished death upon her. But death came as it so often did; unexpected, and ruinous. And the debris of Marie Kline’s once happy and peaceful life – undone by her own hand when she’d handed her father, the mayor, over to the authorities – once again got turned upside down.

Marie hadn’t expected the call. She thought her days of unravelling Hawkins’ mysteries began and ended with the conspiracy and monster fight at Starcourt Mall. But when Steve Harrington called, she would never hesitate to answer. She owed him that.

But now, stuck in the boat house of some convicted pot dealer, Marie wished she hadn’t answered. Because maybe then, she wouldn’t be stuck babysitting the maybe-murderer and absolute menace that was Eddie fucking Munson. Maybe then, she wouldn’t find herself doing anythingandeverything to keep him out of harm’s way. Even if it meant putting herself in it.
