Bellatrix Mikaelson(Tvd)

Chapter 36

Mikaelson Mansion
[Bella walks into the room. Elijah is staring out the window.]
Bella: Where the bloody hell is everyone?
Elijah: It's over, Bella.
Bella: Where's mother?
Elijah: We have no mother. Only Esther, and Esther was right.
Bella: What do you mean?
Elijah: My talk of virtue. When it suits my needs, I kill, maim, and torment. Even today, I terrorized an innocent.
Bella: Elena is hardly innocent.
Elijah: And I used your hatred of her to get what I wanted. Wielded you like I would a sword. My sister.
Bella: You did it to protect our family, Elijah! And i knew what i was doing. Don't take credits for my actions. We did what we had to do to survive. We deserve to live!
Elijah: Mother made us vampires. She didn't make us monsters, we did that to ourselves. [Elijah is leaving when Bella stops him.]
Bella: She was the one who made us like this. Finn was always lonely boy. He was always folowing mother around and i was avoiding her, so even as humans we have maximum exchanged five sentences. But that's not the point. Point is even if he was like a stranger to me, i could still see how much he loved and adored mother, he always beileved in her, then she betrayed him. She made him vampire and then told him he was an abomination and like always Finn believed her.
Mikaelsons look sad.
Bella: Nik just wanted his parents to love him. It's not much to ask, but he couldn't get it. Biological father left him, Step-dad beat him and degraded him, mother watched this and did nothing.
Everyone looked at Klaus with pity.
Bella: She hide his identity for years and then took Nik's wolf side. She took part of him away. Like it wasn't enough, she killed us and made us vampires without our permission and then called us abominations. She was the one who decide to open her legs, but Nik and i were the ones who had to pay for it. It wasn't fair on him or me. She forbade me from touching my siblings or using magic. She told me my abilities were abomination, that i was abomination. You say she didn't turn us into monsters. Then where was she when i needed her? When i needed a mother where was she? Why did she made me feel like an abomination? Why she never helped me when Mikael locked me in dark room even through she knew i was afraid of dark?! Where was she when i woke up screaming with rat on my face, because i slept there? Where was she when i begged, Litterally begged to let me out of there?! What did she do when Mikael degradded Nik in front of whole village?! When Mikael beat Nik to death what did she do?!
At this point, everyone in the room was crying. Bella was hugging Nik and Kol.
Bella: And Kol... she made him lose magic. It was worse than when Nik lost his wolf, because Nik was wolf what? One day? Kol tapped into magic from young age. It was part of his daily life, part of him. He loved magic, still does and when he lost magic he lost himself, too. That's why he's always around witches and making dark objects, this is the closest he can get to magic now. He started getting thrill he got by magic in blood. And he kills mercilessly so he will get your and Nik's attention, because he feels left out.
Kol tightened hold on Bella.
Bella: And Elijah, You who wanted this family to be happy more than anything saw how it was destroyed. You sacrificed your whole life taking care of our siblings. Mikael was always hunting, Esther was busy, Finn followed Esther around and it was you who had weight of whole family fallen on your shoulders. You had to take care of bunch of traumatised children, when you were one of them.
Elijah's eyes are filled with tears.
Bella: We weren't born monsters. None of us were. Once upon a time we were just sweet and innocent children and than all this shit happened. Over the centuries we went though so much pain, betrayals, sorrow and guilt, it broke us. Pain changes people and that's what happened to us. We were hurt one too many times. Esther and Mikael started this and others continued. It wasn't our fault, no one could go through all we went though and stay innocent. No one! [Elijah is crying. Bella hugged Elijah, Elijah hugged her back.]
Off screen everyone was in tears. Bella hugged Klaus and Kol. Layla, Hayley, Marcel and Davina looked sad, because they all understood this.
Mikaelson Mansion
[Klaus is in the parlor at the fireplace, burning sketches he drew of Caroline. Bella comes in.]
Klaus: I thought you'd have gone by now. Elijah's fled. Esther and Finn are gone too. Probaly Kol will leave soon, too.
Bella: He won't. He was planning to, but i changed his mind.
Klaus: Why?
Bella: Because I missed him, i haven't seen him for century. I want to spend more time with him.
Kol smiled at her.
Klaus: No, Why are you not leaving?
Bella: I'm not leaving you! You make the wrong choices and hurt people that you love, but you are still my brother.
Onscreen and offscreen Klaus smiles.
Bella: And there's something I need you to see. [Bella pulls out her phone and holds it up to show Klaus the video of cave.]
Klaus: Come to brag about your skills as a torturer? [He takes the phone and looks at the screen.]
Bella: Look at the images on the wall. The Natives told the story of our family history, look at the images on the far wall.
Klaus: What is it?
Bella: A Native worshipping at the Great White Oak tree.
"That damn tree." Muttered Bella.
Klaus: And? We burned that tree to the ground.
Bella: Look at the markings that precede it. That's the native calendar.
Klaus: This can't be right.
Bella: A White Oak tree, three hundred years after we fled back to the Old World. There must have been a sapling, a new tree to replace the old. That tree could kill us. It's not over, Nik.
Woods
[Sage and Damon are walking together.]
Damon: Finn, really?
Sage: He's my one true love. He turned me so we could be together forever. Then Klaus daggered him and locked him away and I've been waiting ever since. Please don't tell me that you and Bella are friends.
"Well... Technically i didn't dagger him. I just didn't take out his dagger." Said Klaus.
"And stopped others from doing so." Said Bella, giving Klaus a look.
Damon: Not unless you count hate sex.
Sage: Good, cause Klaus always treated me like some peasant whore.
Damon: Ah, she's just lurking around because she wants something from me. Can't figure out what it is though.
Sage: Why don't you get inside her head and find out?
Damon: Cause it's impossible. She's too strong.
Sage: I bet I could get in there.
Damon: Sage, she's an Original. It's not gonna happen.
Sage: Have you forgotten everything I taught you? Bella may be an Original, but she's a girl. You find her weakness and exploit it and I'll walk right in. That is if you want my help.
"Hey! I'm not that naive." Said Bella.
Wickery Bridge
[Bella is walking past the catering table when Damon comes up behind her.]
Damon: Did I ever tell you you're sexy when you're bitchy?
Bella: We're talking now, are we? Cause you were quite rude the other day, using me to help you with Stefan and then shooing me away like a stray dog.
Damon: Oh, but that was brother business, you can't hold that against me. Besides I really did appreciate your help even if I don't show it.
Bella: You were mean.
Damon: You like mean.
Mikaelsons look disgusted.
Bella: No, I don't.
Damon: No? You didn't get a thrill back there pushing Sage down, crushing her dreams of true love?
Bella: Maybe a little.
Damon: See? Mean. Can Sage and I interest you in a drink back at the house?
Bella: Sure. I have nothing better to do anyway.
"You agreed?" Asked Hayley.
"I knew it was a trap, but i needed information, too and i got it." Said Bella.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Bella enters the room with a bottle of wine and holds it up.]
Bella: I stole it from Nik who stole it from a Queen. Not sure which one. Well this is depressing. What happened to the party? [Sage gets up and walks over to Bella, taking the bottle from her.]
Klaus glared at Bella.
"Couldn't you take something less expensive?" Said Klaus.
"Sorry." Said Bella, not sounding sorry at all.
Sage: It just arrived. [She breaks the neck of the bottle off. Damon and Sage dance together. Bella watches them and sits down next to the man on the piano. She bites his neck and starts to feed. Sage gestures to Damon to go over to her. He does and Sage sits down on the couch.]
Damon: How bout a duet? [Bella stops feeding for a second and looks at him. She goes back to feeding. Damon grabs the man's wrist and begins to feed as well. They both stop after a while and wipe the blood from their lips. Damon pushes the man, who is now dead, off the bench and moves toward Bella. He gently grabs her face in his hand and Bella stands up. They kiss.]
Mikaelsons glare.
[Sage watches from the couch and smiles.]
Salvatore Boarding House
[Damon and Bella are lying in Damon's bed together. They are both naked and draped in sheets. Bella siphons Damon.]
Damon: What are you doing?
Bella: Ad somnum. [Damon faints. Bella stands up, naked.]
Everyone looks away.
[Bella dresses up and goes upstairs. Sage sees her and hides.]
Bella: Sage, i know you are there. [Sage comes out of hiding spot.]
Bella: You really thought i would be tricked that easily? I thought you were smarter than that. I guess i was wrong.
Sage: If you knew, why you came?
Bella: It's non of your busness, but Sage, Mikaelsons are linked. If one dies so will others. Whatever plan you were making with Damon, it will also kill Finn.
Sage: You're lying. [Sage grabbed her hand and goes into her mind.]
Bella: Enough! [Sage gets out of her head.] Leave before i'll rip your head off. [Sage leaves. Bella finds the milling archives and pulls out the one from 1912. She flips through it and finds where the tree was shipped to: the old Wickery Bridge.]
