[Book 2]
Bella is grieving Kol's death, but hearing news about becoming aunt cheers her up and decides to got to New Orleans. Lets see what trouble her brothers got her into now.
MIKAELSON MANSION [Klaus sits at a desk perusing some papers when his phone starts buzzing. He sees it's Bella and answers it. The shot cuts between him at the mansion and Bella on the street.] Klaus: Little sister! Bella: Stop calling me little sister. You are only one year older than me and i believe I've made certain Marcel will be properly distracted tonight. "I swear he does it to annoy me." Said Bella. Klaus smirked. Bella glared at him. Klaus: Dare I ask? Bella: Let's just say his attention will not be on us. I did my bit. What are you doing to ensure Elijah's safe return? Klaus: Currently, I'm preparing insurance against the tenderhearted. Bella: Meaning? Klaus: We need proper motivation for Katie and I'm creating it. Marcel has ordered a rousting of the witches. [The camera cuts to the Cauldron, where vampires are jumping from the balconies and causing mayhem. Scared witches scream and run away from them.] Klaus: And I, in turn, have arranged for things to go tragically wrong. [Flashback from earlier in the day: Klaus is in the cellar with the nightwalker Max, who has finally had the vervain drained from his body.] Klaus: You understand what you're to do? [Max nods in agreement] Good. [Back at the Cauldron, vampires continue to upturn tables and destroy things while witches scream in terror. Thierry sneaks off through a back door into the Jardin Gris. Katie sees him and runs to greet him with a hug and kiss.] Katie: Hey! What's happening out there? Thierry: Oh, it's Klaus. He's convinced Marcel that the witches are planning to make a move against him. Marcel wants us to send a message... [Thierry gives Katie an apologetic look as he gently knocks over a shelf full of potion and spell ingredients] Thierry: ...And if he thought I was playing favorites because I'm in love with a witch—- Katie: [smiles and interrupts him] Say that again. Thierry: I love you, Katie. And all this is gonna be okay, I promise. Klaus: [in voiceover] Marcel may not be concerned with Thierry's romantic entanglements... [Thierry walks out of the Jardin Gris and bumps into Max, the vampire Klaus compelled earlier, who is about to enter the shop.] Thierry: I already got that one. [Thierry walks away. The vampire goes into the shop anyway, and the camera cuts to Klaus as he sits at his desk at the mansion] Klaus: But there are other crimes which he'll be less inclined to so easily forgive... [The camera cuts to the Cauldron. Thierry hears screaming from inside the Jardin Gris. He turns to see Max dragging Katie outside, where he slams her against the restaurant and bites into her neck. Thierry becomes enraged and lunges toward him.] Marcel glares. Thierry: Leave her alone! Get off! [He throws Max across the courtyard, where he smashes onto a table. Thierry runs over to him, grabs a broken table leg, and uses it to stake the vampire, killing him. The courtyard goes silent, and the other vampires circle around the scene of the crime.] Klaus: [voiceover] Killing a vampire, for example. That would be unforgivable. If Katie hopes to save her one true love from Marcel's punishment? Well, a rescue mission like that will require something positively magical. But then... what's worth dying for, if not love? Bella: You are genius! Klaus: I know. [At the Cauldron, Katie is staring at Thierry in horror as he stands over Max's dead body. Diego and the other vampires look at him as though they can't believe what he's just done, and even Thierry is in shock.] THE ABATTOIR – MASQUERADE GALA [Bella and Klaus enter the party, arm in arm, taking in the dark, wild atmosphere. Klaus is wearing a black suit with a black dress shirt and tie, and Bella is dressed in a matching black cocktail dress.]

"You look hot." Said Layla. "Thanks, love." Said Bella. [Acrobats perform, dancers handle exotic animals, and confetti falls glittering upon the party guests.] Klaus: [smiles] Well, this certainly is a fitting backdrop for tonight's events, I must say. [Bella and Klaus spot Cami as she enters the party, wearing white angel's wings and a vintage white beaded dress. Bella looks pleased, but Klaus' smile falls.] Klaus: [suspicious] What's she doing here? "Aww, you already liked her?" Said Bella. "No, i just didn't want to lose leverage." Said Klaus. "Sure." Said Bella. Bella: What better way to distract Marcel than to put his very human new girl in a room chock full of vampires? [Klaus seems very unhappy with this decision on Bella's part as she crosses the courtyard to greet Cami. Klaus sighs and follows behind her.] Bella: [smiles] Hello, darling. You look precious. [Marcel notices Cami's arrival from a balcony above and frowns.] Cami: This party is ridiculous, but I think I went a bit splashy with this dress. [Cami makes eye contact with Klaus and nods at him in acknowledgment as he joins them before she turning back to Bella.] Bella: He's my brother-Niklaus. Klaus: [smiles] You do look stunning. Cami: You clean up pretty well yourself. Klaus: [smiles smugly] Well, don't be fooled, love. I'm the devil in disguise. Bella: You two chit-chat. I need booze. [Bella heads to the bar, leaving Klaus and Cami alone.] Klaus: Shall we? Cami: Okay. [Klaus offers her his arm and Cami takes it. Bella approaches the bar and addresses the bartender.] Bella: Scotch, please. [Marcel spots Bella and joins her at the bar, and Bella sighs at the sight of him.] Marcel: [unimpressed] You trying to be cute, inviting her here? Bella: I think she's darling. Marcel: Hmm. Jealousy looks good on you, Bella. [Bella laughed.] "Why you would be jaelous?" Said Kol, narrowing his eyes at Bella and Marcel. Bella shrugged. Bella: If i remember correctly you were the one who was drooling over me, not other way around. [Bella drinks scotch with smirk.] "You and Marcel...?" Said wide-eyed Hayley. "No, i mean. He had crush on me, but that was it." Said Bella. "So nothing happened? Not even a kiss?" Said Hayley. "Eww, no. I'm practically his aunt. I met him when he was 11 and watched him grow up, even helped Nik raise him. It would be grooming if i dated him. Not too mention creepy." Said Bella. (Jab at Rebekah intended) [Across the courtyard, Cami and Klaus talk while Cami subtly watches Bella with Marcel at the bar.] Cami: I'm beginning to think your sister is a bit of a bitch. [Klaus laughs heartily.] "Ouch." Said Bella. Klaus: It's as though she invented the term! Bella tried to hit Klaus's head, but Klaus jodged. [Cami gazes at Klaus; he seems drawn in for a moment but catches himself as he spots Marcel getting ready to approach them.] Klaus: Listen. Pardon me for a moment. [Klaus leaves. Marcel greets Cami.] Marcel: Cami. Cami: Hey! Killer party. Marcel: Oh, it's more of a work thing. I would've invited you— Cami: [cuts him off] Oh, no. We've been on one date. No explanation necessary. You do your thing, I'll entertain myself. Marcel: [smiles] What, leave you alone, looking the way you do? Hell with that. MIKAELSON MANSION [Hayley walks around the pool outside. She hears a twig snap nearby, then walks toward the sound to see a wolf staring at her. A voice behind her startles her and she whirls around] Sabine: [smiles] You're not supposed to be out here. Hayley: [suspicious] Who are you? Sabine: Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Sabine. We met. I'm one of Sophie's friends. Hayley: You're one of the witches. Sabine: Sophie just asked me to come keep you company while everyone's out. [She looks at the wolf curiously and gestures toward it, causing Hayley to glance back at the wolf.] You know, it's drawn to you. The child you're carrying is part vampire, part werewolf. You and Klaus made something special. Hayley: You sound like Elijah. He thinks this baby is going to make us one big, happy family, but now he's gone and I don't even know what... "it" is. Sabine: You know, I can do something about that, if you want. I mean, find out if it's a boy or girl. Hayley: [confused] I thought you couldn't do witchy stuff around here. Sabine: It's not magic, just an old trick my grandmother taught me. Come on. You have to be a little curious.
