Bellatrix Mikaelson(Tvd)

Chapter 55

Gilbert Lake House
[Jeremy is putting wooden bullets into a gun. He hands the gun to Damon. Damon removes the bullets.]
Damon: Good. Now, do it like your life depends on it, 'cause it does.
Jeremy: Don't act like you care about my life. You care about the hunter's mark and curing Elena so she's not sired to your ass.
Damon: Both require you to be alive. Which is why I updated our relationship status to 'it's complicated.' Have you talked to her at all? Elena?
Jeremy: Maybe. Why? Running out of voicemails to listen to?
People snickered.
Klaus: I'm sorry. Did I interrupt play time? [Klaus appears.]
Jeremy: What the hell are you doing here?
Klaus: I'm simply appreciating the sights and smells of nature, neither of which presently include rotting vampire flesh, so I'm a bit concerned. How many vampires has he killed?
Damon: If we throw Jeremy out into the real world right now, he's chum.
"Again, you don't have to throw him anywhere. Just bring him vampires and let him kill them." Said Layla.
Klaus: Yeah, see, that's not a number. Twelve. That's a number. That's how many of my hybrids I slaughtered with my sword. Three. That's how many days it took to quell the urge to kill your brother after he knowingly watched as I walked into a death trap. One. That's the number of purposes you serve. You are here to grow Jeremy's mark, so I'll ask again... How many vampires has he killed since he's been here?
Damon: Zero. [Klaus smirks.]
Klaus: That's a pity. I'm going to need that cure sooner rather than later. Hybrid shortage and all. How can I help? [Damon picks up the gun.]
Damon: You know, now that you mention it... Jeremy, watch and learn. [He shoots Klaus with wooden bullets. Klaus leans against a tree, grunting from pain, and looking angrily at Damon.]
Damon: That's for Carol Lockwood.
Bella's house
[Kol shoves Shane into a custodial closet, Bella close behind them.]
Prof. Shane: Kol and Bellatrix Mikaelson... two members of the Original vampire family. One of them The Original heretic. This is such a trip. [Bella tries to compel him.]
Bella: Where's the cure?
Prof. Shane: Compulsion won't work. It's a little trick I picked up in Tibet.
Bella: Right. Well, we'll just have to do this the old-fashioned way. [Kol smiles.]
[Kol and Bella torture Shane in the custodial closet.]
Kol: WHERE IS THE CURE?! [Kol shoves Shane's head into a sink filled with water, holding him there for several seconds. Kol yanks Shane's head back up, and Shane gasps for air.]
Kol: Where is the cure? [Shane is breathing heavily and doesn't reply. Bella walks in. Smirking, Kol shoves Shane under again.]
[In the lab, April beings to cough, and Bonnie stares at her. The shots alternate between Shane being drowned and April coughing. In the closet, Kol yanks Shane up, and Shane is gasping for air.]
Bella: You're human. Why do you want it anyway?
Prof. Shane: That's the beauty of this. You can have it. I just want Silas. [Kol holds Shane up by his shirt.]
Kol: No. What do you know about Silas?
Prof. Shane: He's the world's first immortal being, who just happens to be imprisoned with the cure... and I want to free him.
Kol: No! [Kol shoves Shane under the water again. In the lab, April's coughing worsens and Bonnie notices.]
Bonnie: April? [April grabs her throat, trying to breathe.]
Bonnie: What's happening? [Bonnie rushes over to April. Water pours from April's mouth.]
Bella: Stop! [Kol brings Shane back up for air. Kol lets go of Shane. In the lab, April stops coughing, and she breathes heavily. Bonnie helps her to her feet.]
Kol: Did you not just hear what he said? Silas will kill us all, sister.
Bella: Silas does not exist. He is a-a fairytale.
Prof. Shane: Silas is very real. I know where he's buried, and soon I will have the spell that wakes him.
Bella: Wait a second, you're lying. You can't get to him.
"Why do look so scared?" Asked Davina.
"Because if Silas comes, he will bring hell to earth." Said Kol.
Prof. Shane: Without his tombstone? Dozens to die in a blood sacrifice? Believe me, I know. I've done it. Those massacres are a pain to engineer.
Bella: You're the one who got the council blown up.
Prof. Shane: It was a noble sacrifice... and temporary, because once I raise Silas, Silas will raise the dead. He will bring back every last soul who died on his behalf. [Kol picks up a thin metal pipe and drives it through Shane's stomach.]
Kol: No! [In the lab, April is bleeding where Shane was stabbed. She and Shane are linked from Bonnie's spell.]
Bonnie: Oh, my god. [The shots alternate between the lab and the closet: Shane falls to the floor. April is dying. Shane appears to die. Bonnie looks up, as if she realizes what she has done. Shane's eyes open, looking surprised. He looks at the pole in his chest and struggles to take it out as he pulls himself to an upright sitting position. He then remembers Bonnie.]
Prof. Shane: Bonnie! [Bonnie is in the lab, trying to help April who is lying on her back unconscious in a pool of her own blood.]
Bonnie: Help! Someone help! [Elena and Stefan rush into the room and see April's limp body]
Elena: Bonnie, what's going on?
Bonnie: She needs help.
Stefan: What happened?
Bonnie: I did a protection spell, but it accidentally linked Shane to April.
Elena: And you couldn't control it?
Bonnie: I didn't know I was doing it! Usually I feel pain or I bleed, but this time I just felt more power. [Stefan is feeding April his blood, and she gasps, petrified.]
Stefan: It's okay, it's okay! You're okay, you're okay. [Stefan holds April in his arms, comforting heer.]
Zanadew Lounge
[Music is playing, and many vampires in transition are lying around still dead. Jeremy and Damon enter and stare at all the bodies. They walk up to Klaus, who is sitting at the bar and pouring himself a drink.]
Klaus: I was beginning to worry you boys wouldn't find the place.
Jeremy: What the hell...? Did you kill all these people?
Klaus: Not exactly. They're in transition. [To Jeremy] Killing them is your job. [Jeremy looks at Damon.]
Jeremy: You said you were going to convince Klaus to do this another way!
Damon: Well, I thought about it, and then I realized his idea was better. [Klaus smiles, and Jeremy stares at Damon in disbelief. Some of the bodies start to move.]
Zanadew Lounge
[Jeremy and Damon head into the bar, and music can be heard in the background. They walk in cautiously, and Jeremy holds up the bow. A giant blood smear can be seen on the ground, and Damon walks around it.]
Damon: Something's not right. [They follow the trail of blood into the back cold storage room. A giant pile of the vampire corpses are in the corner.]
Damon: Looks like we're gonna have to find some new vampires. What a waste.
Jeremy: What the hell happened?
Kol: I confess. [Jeremy turns around and holds the bow up to see Kol and Bella entering the room.] We did it.
Jeremy: Kol?
Kol: Jeremy, good to see you, mate. Sorry about the mess. Ugh, it was a little crowded when I arrived, and I prefer more intimate gatherings. We four need to have a little chat. [Takes a sip of bourbon from the bottle.]
Bella: Care for a drink?
Damon: He's underage, and I don't like you, so let's just cut to it.
"Like i like him." Scoffed Bella.
Bella: You know, my brother bragged about his plan to complete Jeremy's hunter's mark. It was easy enough to track this lot down. They were all hiding in the shadows. Now, killing young vampires is easy or old ones, for that matter.
Damon: Why? What's it to you either way?
Kol: Because, you fools, in your zeal to find the cure, you risk waking someone very dangerous.
Damon: Oh... You must be talking about Silas.
Bella: What do you know of him?
Damon: Nothing. Don't want to. Not our problem.
Kol: Isn't it?
"He's everyone's problem and you should be grateful i didn't let him raise." Said Bella.
Damon: Uh-uh.
Kol: A few hundred years back, I came across a group that worshipped Silas. His followers told me that he would rise again, and when he did, he would trigger the end of all time. You know, being an immortal, you can see why I'm opposed to time's ending. So I murdered all of them. And now, here you are willing to risk raising him in your search for the cure. I can't exactly sit back and let that happen, can I?
Damon: We're not going to back off the cure 'cause you were told one too many scary bedtime stories, you idiot.
Bella: People think vampires, werewolves and witches are bedtime stories, too, but look at us.
"She's right." Said Marcel.
Kol: [pushes Damon] Jeremy, we were mates in Colorado. You're a smart lad. Why don't you call off this imbecilic treasure hunt?
Jeremy: [holding up the bow] I'm not calling anything off, mate.
Kol: [takes a step backwards] Well I could kill you. But then, I'd have to deal with the hunter's curse. And I, I don't particularly feel like being haunted for the next century. Better idea. I'll just rip off your arms. [Kol rushes at Jeremy, but Damon rams Kol into the wall and head-butts him. They fight.]
Damon: Jeremy, run! [Jeremy flees, and Bella snaps Damon's neck by magic.]
