Bellatrix Mikaelson(Tvd)

Chapter 5

Alaric's Residence
Katherine: What are you doing here?
Andie: We are here to rescue you.
Damon: No, sweetie. We are here to see if she deserves to be rescued.
Andie: Right.
Kathrine: Than be quick. I'm not alone.
Damon: (wide eyed) Klaus is here?
Kathrine: No, but his witch is. She is in the shower now.
"They don't know you're a vampire?" Said Kol.
"I had fake heartbeat so they wouldn't know who i am and think i am just a normal witch and Katherine played along." Said Bella.
Damon: (rolled his eyes) Of course you slept with Klaus's witch.
Klaus glares at Katherine.
[He shows her a phial.]
Katherine: Is that...?
Damon: Vervain? Your salvation.
Katherine: It's not going to undo anything.
Damon: There's always a loophole. Did he tell you to stay in this apartment until he said it was okay to leave? [She goes to speak but finds herself unable to.]
Damon: You can't say. Did he tell you to do absolutely everything he says until the end of time?
Katherine: No.
Damon: There's your loophole. Drink this and it'll prevent any further compulsion. [She comes closer to take it but she is unable to cross the threshold.]
Katherine: Give it to me.
Damon: Answer one question first. You double-crossed us with Isobel, why?
Katherine: I didn't think you could stand a chance against Klaus, so I was looking out for myself.
Damon: And where did that get you? Here. [He tosses her the phial.]
Damon: Be careful with that. If he finds out you have that, you're never getting out of here. [She drinks and coughs.]
Damon: You owe me. And I will collect.
[He looks at Andie.]
Damon: Come on.
Andie: Nice to meet you. [She closes the door. Bella gets out of room. Katherine looks at her scared.]
Bella: Don't worry. i won't tell Nik.
Klaus glared at her.
Kathrine: Why are you helping me?
Bella: Because Layla cares about you and if you die, she will be heartbroken.
"Thank you." Said Layla.
FLASHBACK-Portland, Oregon-1703
[Bella is walking out of house and cleaning her blooded dagger. When she hears noise and goes there. She sees six years old Layla is holding the man's hand and her hand is glowing red. Bella looks surprised.]
"Is it your first meeting?" Asked Hayley. Bella and Layla smiled at each other and nodded.
"How old were you?" Asked Davina.
"Six." Answered Layla.
[Man makes Layla let go of him and slaps her so hard she falls. Bella hears people talk.]
Woman 1: I don't understand why he doesn't kick that magic thief out of the house.
Everyone glares at her.
Woman 2: He's too kind. If that abomination had been my daughter, i would kill her myself.
Everyone glared.
"He is too kind?! He just hit his
daughter!" Exclaimed Hayley.
[Man grabs Layla and makes her stand up.]
Man: How many time i have told you to not do that?!
Layla: (teary eyed) I'm sorry.
Man: You will be. You will learn to not show your abomination and emberass me in front of people. Your mother died because of you and that's how you repay her?!
Layla looked down with tears.
"It's not your fault if your mother died while giving birth. Many woman do. Expecially back then. It wasn't your fault." Said Bella.
Layla: I'm sorry. Please. I'm sorry. [Layla aciddentally throws him away. He gets up and goes toward her angrily, he's about to slap her again when... Bella vamp-speed there and stopped the man's hand.]
Man: What are you doing?
Bella: I really don't like child abusers. [Bella hits him, Man started a spell, but Bella was faster.]
Bella: Ad somnum. [Man dropped unconscious. Some people tried to attack Bella, but she also knocked all of them out.]
Layla smiled at the memory.
[Layla looks scared and surprised. Bella walks toward her.]
Layla: Please don't hurt me. I..
Bella: Shh. I'm not gonna hurt you, little witch. Opposite actually, i want to help you.
Layla: You can't.
Bella: I can. I can keep you safe, they're all afraid of me. [Layla looks more surprised.]
"Aww. Sweet." Said Davina.
Layla: Why are you helping me? No one does.
Everyone looked at her sadly.
Bella: Because i'm like you. [Bella grabbed the unconscious man and her hand glow red.] I'm a siphoner, too.
Layla: You are?
Bella: Yes and it's really cool.
Layla: No, it isn't. It's ab...
Bella: Yes, it is. We can siphon from magical objects, places or people and use magic like other witches, but we can also take down every kind of barrier in seconds, Siphone out curses which can't be cured, take someone else's magic and make them powerless. The things Nature witches can't. We are more powerful and that's why they hate us, because they are scared of our power. Scared of how easily we could make them powerless. Scared of how much stronger we are. [Layla looked at her with stars in her eyes.]
Layla and Bella look at each other smiling. Marcel and Klaus glance at each other remembering their first meeting.
Layla: You really think that?
Bella: I don't think that, I know that. [After a minute of silence.]
Bella: Come with me and i will teach you all about your powers. What do you say? You want to come with me? [Layla looks thoughtfull, then nods.]
Layla: Yes, i want to leave. [Bella smiles at her.]
Bella: My name is Bella. What's your name?
Layla: Layla.
Bella: It's nice to meet you, Layla. [Bella holds out her hand, Layla stares at hand surprised.]
"Do you know Layla means dark beauty?" Asked Davina.
"I do. My name really suits me. Only good thing that man gave me." Said Layla.
Bella: So? Are you gonna shake it? [Layla shakes her hand and smiles with big, genuine smile.]
People smile at them.
Gilbert Residence
[Klaus/Alaric is chopping some food with a big knife. Jenna and Stefan are looking at him.]
Klaus/Alaric: You know, I find chopping... calming. The feel of the blade in the hand, maybe.
"Same, but when you say it like that it's creepy." Said Bella.
"It's creepy however you say it."Said Hayley.
"It's not." Said Bella.
Jenna: I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what the hell's going on.
Klaus/Alaric: Well, would you like to tell her, Stefan, or should I?
Jenna: Tell me what?
Klaus/Alaric: Do you believe in vampires, Jenna? No? [He laughs.]
Klaus/Alaric: Well, who does, right? But believe it or not, they do have a place in our history. And as a history teacher, I find them fascinating.
Jenna: Why are we talking about this?
Klaus/Alaric: Well, you've been angry with me for keeping secrets, and this is one of my secrets. I'm obsessed with vampires. There. I said it. [He laughs.]
"Look at her face." Laughs Kol.
Jenna: Are you joking?
Klaus/Alaric: Not at all. How about you, Stefan? Are you a fan of vampires?
Stefan: In literature. Bram Stoker. It's dense, but I appreciate it.
Klaus/Alaric: Hmm. Did you know that vampires are the oldest creatures of the night? Except for werewolves, of course.
Jenna: Werewolves. Werewolves. Now I know you're joking.
Klaus/Alaric: You know, I've read that there's an Aztec curse on both species that keeps werewolves slaves to the Moon and vampires bound by the Sun. Isn't that right, Stefan? You know, they say these creatures would do anything to have this curse broken and that they wouldn't care who they had to kill to do it. [Jenna looks at him alarmed.]
Old Witch House
[Bonnie is lying on the floor. Jeremy walks in and lights some candles. She wakes up. He rushes over and she sits up and embraces him. They laugh with joy.]
"Stay dead." Muttered Bella.
Salvatore Boarding House
Damon: She cast a spell. Bonnie's okay.
[He turns around and walks to the stairs. Stefan follows him.]
Stefan: You know, you could have told me.
Damon: How do I know when you're going to go blabbing things to your
girlfriend?
Stefan: You understand what you put her through?
Damon: See, that's why I didn't tell you. 'Cause you would have never been able to do it. Don't get me wrong, Stefan. I don't mind being the bad guy. I'll make all the life and death decisions while you're busy worrying about collateral damage. I'll even let her hate me for it. But at the end of the day, I'll be the one to keep her alive.
"I can't beileve i'm saying this, but Damon's right." Said Bella.
Lockwood Mansion
[Elena and Elijah are walking outside.]
Elijah: So as you've seen, nothing can kill an Original. Not Sun, not fire, not even a werewolf bite. Only the wood from one tree. A tree my family made sure burned.
"Why are you telling enemy our weakness? Are you an idiot?" Said Bella. Elijah looked away.
Elena: That's where the white ash for the dagger comes from.
Elijah: Yes. The witches won't allow anything truly immortal to walk the earth. Every creature needs to have a weakness in order to maintain the balance.
Elena: So the Sun can't kill an Original. Why is Klaus so obsessed with breaking the Sun and Moon curse?
Elijah: Right. The curse of the sun and the moon. It's all so...biblical-sounding, don't you think? [He smiles.]
Elena: What's so funny?
England 1492
[Klaus is sitting on a chair in a bedroom of the mansion. A woman is in front of him. Elijah and Bellatrix's there too. Elijah shows him a parchment.]
Elijah: Look. A Roman parchment.
Klaus: I remember etching this scroll. Well, I was quite blistered from drink.
Bellatrix: Your finest work remains your Aztec drawings.
Klaus: Not the African carvings? 'Cause I was quite proud of those.
"Cute" teased Kol. Klaus glared at him.
Elijah: The Aztec. Who can resist a shaman? [Klaus and Bella laugh.]
