Bellatrix Mikaelson(Tvd)

Chapter 19

Gilbert Residence
Elena: It burned me. [She removes the necklace and holds it by the chain.]
Caroline: Maybe it's a sign you shouldn't be wearing it.
Bonnie: Caroline...
Caroline: What, I'm just saying. If you're going to be "cooking" without Stefan.
Hayley, Layla and Bella snicker.
Bonnie: Let me see it. [Elena holds it out while Bonnie looks at the pendant.]
Gloria's Bar
[Gloria casts a spell.]
Gloria: Anta Cotis Syrum, Anta Cotis Syrum...
Gilbert Residence
[Bonnie looks at the necklace and touches it but there's a zap and sparks fly out of it. Elena drops it. Bonnie and Elena look at each other. Elena seems shocked.]
Gloria's Bar
[Gloria drops Bella's hand and looks at Klaus and Stefan.]
Gloria: I found it.
Bella: So where is it?
Gloria: It doesn't work like that, doll. I get images. There's a girl with her friends...
Bella: Yes, a dead girl with dead friends, if I don't get my necklace back.
Gloria: Well, I'll have to dive back in to get the details.
Klaus: So dive.
Gloria: I need more time. [Klaus walks over and leans on the table Gloria is seated at.]
Gloria: And space. You're harshing my ju-ju.
Klaus: We can wait.
Gloria: I'm sure you can. But that's not what I asked.
Stefan: Hey. Hey, you know, why don't we just come back later. I'm hungry anyway. I'll let you pick who we eat. [Stefan starts making for the door and looks back at them. Klaus looks at Bella and they leave with Stefan.]
Chicago Warehouse
[In a warehouse, Klaus are on couch drinking from a girl and Stefan is doing likewise seated in a chair. Bella looks at them sitting atop a nearby crate.]
Bella: My girl's dead. I'm bored. [Klaus looks at Stefan.]
Klaus: You weren't kidding about being hungry.
Stefan: Yeah. It's been a long day.
[He drops the dead girl he was feeding from on the ground.]
Stefan: I need to go. [He gets up and walks away.]
"Where is he going?" Asked Kol.
"To write name on the wall. Long story." Said Klaus.
Gloria's Bar
[Stefan enters and sees Gloria.]
Kol raised his eyebrow at Klaus.
Gloria: There you are.
Stefan: Thought you were resting.
Gloria: Well, now we both have a secret.
Stefan: What did you see?
Gloria: It's what I heard that's interesting. You know, the girls with the necklace, they were talking about you.
Stefan: Yet you didn't tell Klaus and Bella. Why?
Gloria: 'Cause I wouldn't help that hybrid half-breed with anything. The necklace is a talisman from the original witch herself. I want it.
"Bitch" said Bella.
Stefan: Well, I'm sorry. I can't help you.
Gloria: Don't be difficult. You know, I'd hate to have to tell Klaus what a liar his sidekick is. [He rushes over at her but she turns her head, looks at him and he suddenly stops and grabs his head in pain.]
Gloria: Guess I've got to get it out of you the hard way, huh? [He falls to the floor.]
[Later, Stefan is shirtless and lying on a table. There are lit candles all over the floor. Gloria has a knife.]
Stefan: What is this? Why can't I move?
Gloria: Relax. It's just a little paralysis spell. Nothing major. [She cuts his forearms with the knife. There's a recipient on the floor to collect the blood.]
Gloria: Just got to get the information out of your pretty little head. You know, witches nowadays, they're into that new age stuff, but...I'm a little more old school voodoo. [She takes little iron hooks and puts them in the forearms wounds. He screams.]
Gloria: This will stop that pesky healing.
Stefan: I won't tell you anything.
Gloria: You don't have to. [There are glass receptacles on the floor under his wrists. When the blood falls into them, a cloud of vapor rises out of them.]
Gloria: You feel that? That's your essence. Your spirit. It lets me make a connection. Herbs help, too. Diviners, sage, witch hazel. [She takes something.]
Gloria: But my personal favorite... [She rubs her hands with it.]
Gloria: Vervain. [She places her hands on his chest and his skin starts to burn. He screams.]
[Stefan is still on the table. She takes some red powder and rub her hands with it.]
Gloria: I'm impressed. You've got discipline, Stefan. It's not going to do you much good, but... Just let go, honey. [He puts her hands on his chest. His skin burns and he screams.]
Gloria: There you go, there you go. [She see images of Stefan and Elena together and him giving her the necklace.]
Gloria: There's the girl with the necklace. You love her. You'd do anything for her. And you have. A lot of darkness, a lot of guilt. All to keep her away from Klaus. Why would he be interested in one girl?
Stefan: Don't do this. Don't do this. [She sees the sacrifice and Klaus killing Elena.]
Gloria: She's the doppelgänger. She's supposed to be dead, and that's why Klaus can't make hybrids, isn't it? [She laughs.]
Katherine: This is creepy.
"Of course she was there" Said Klaus.
[Gloria turns around. Katherine's beside her and she puts a stake through her neck. Gloria falls on the floor, dead. Katherine looks at Stefan.]
Katherine: Maybe you do need my help, after all.
Chicago Warehouse
[Stefan looks at the coffins and stops in front of one. He touches it but Bella enters so he removes his hand.]
Bella: You're back. Finally. Nik went to check on the witch. [She looks at the coffin.]
Bella: Dreary, isn't it? The family cargo.
Stefan: Hmm. Why don't you undagger them?
Bella: I tried before. Then he hided them from me for years. Like this i can at least check up on them once in a while.
Kol smiles at her.
Stefan: But you still care about him. Why? [She sits down on the coffin and Stefan sits next to her.]
Bella: Over thousand years everyone either betrayed me or died. Lovers, friends, everyone. No one ever stayed except my family.
Everyone looked at her sympatheticaly.
"What about me?" Said Layla.
"You are family." Said Bella. Layla smiled.
Stefan: So you stay, because they are all you have?
Mikaelsons looked at her interested.
Bella: That's one of the reasons.
Stefan: What are other reasons?
Bella: I love my family, Stefan. They aren't as bad as people make them out to be. They all have good and bad in them like every person. In his own twisted way, Nik loves us, too. He just doesn't know how to show it. He daggers our siblings, because he is scared of being abandoned, of being alone, Nik just wants them to not leave him and he is also trying to protect them, even if he is doing it wrong way.
Klaus, Elijah and Kol smile at her.
Stefan: Who is he protecting them from? Last night I saw you, there was a man looking for you. Is he the one?
Bella: I already said too much.
"You did." Said Klaus.
"Sorry." Said Bella.
Stefan: I'm sorry. It's just... You seemed afraid. I... I wouldn't think Klaus would be afraid of anybody.
Bella: No one in this world is truly fearless, Stefan. Not even Nik.
Stefan: Who was that man? [Bella glared.]
Bella: It's none of your buseness.
Stefan: I'm sorry. [He gets up.] Just forget I asked. Okay? [Klaus comes in walking quickly.]
Klaus: Gloria's gone. She's cleared out. We need to find a new witch immediately. [Klaus stops and look at them.]
Bella: Something's wrong. He was asking about Mikael. He's not with us, Nik. I can sense it.
Stefan: She's wrong. Klaus... [Klaus rushes over to him.]
Truck
[Stefan wakes up with a start inside the back of a truck filled with the coffins. Klaus is looking at him.]
Stefan: Just give me a chance to explain myself, okay?
Klaus: No need. I'm not mad, I'm just curious. Bella seems to think you're holding onto something. A piece of your old life. The thing is, she's got flawless instincts, borderline supernatural. So I thought I would check it out. See for myself what it is you've been hiding.
"You finally acknowladge my awesomness." Said Bella.
[He opens the back of the truck. They're in Mystic Falls.]
Klaus: Welcome back to Mystic Falls, Stefan.
