Bellatrix Mikaelson (The Originals S1)

Chapter 31

CAMI'S APARTMENT
[Josh is still at Cami's, pacing around her living room. The sun has just gone down, and he's leaving her another voicemail.]
Josh: Cami! It's me. Again. Stalking you. Look, just really need to know where you guys are so I can meet you before the sun comes up. Again. [His phone beeps and he looks at his phone to see who is calling him. It's an unknown number.]
Josh: [nervous] Uh, hello? [The scene cuts back and forth between Klaus in the French Quarter with Timothy and Josh in Cami's apartment.]
Klaus: Joshua, my most disappointing minion. I suspected you wouldn't answer the call were it from me.
Josh: Klaus. Hey. What up? Guess what, I just moved to Turkey. Weirdly, they don't eat turkey here. Go figure.
"He is so cute." Said Layla.
Klaus: You're lying. In fact, Marcel and I were just chatting about your failed double agent status, and we've surmised that you're likely still in town and in the company of a friend– a young, angry witch.
Josh: Nope. Nope. No witches here. Totally digging Turkey, though.
Klaus: Are you really going to leave Davina's fiddler soulmate, Timothy, alone with me? Oh, Josh. What would she think of that? I assure you, I just wanna talk to her. Tim and I will be at the compound. I really do hope she comes home soon. [Klaus hangs up.]
Everyone glares at Klaus.
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Klaus and Elijah have reconvened at the compound's courtyard.]
Klaus: Where's Bella gotten off to?
Elijah: It's not Bella that I'm concerned about. And how can you be so certain that Davina will come?
Klaus: One might think you've forgotten what it's like to be in the grip of an all-consuming infatuation. She'll come.
Elijah: [looks up at Timothy, who is sitting in the rafters, compelled to play his violin from above] Are the maudlin theatrics absolutely necessary, Niklaus?
Klaus: Ha! It's a fair point. [He looks up at the young boy] Timothy, play something a little more upbeat, please. That's a good lad. [Marcel returns to the compound and joins them] Took you long enough to spread the word.
Elijah: Have you met his nightwalkers? Not the brightest assortment.
"True." Snorted Bella. Marcel glared.
Marcel: All that matters is I got it covered. When Davina gets here, you two need to let me do the talking.
Klaus: [senses Davina's presence nearby] Well, I'm sure you'll have your chance. [He turns to Davina] Hello, love. [He then looks up at Timothy] Silence is golden, Timothy. Thank you.
Tim: [confused] Davina?
Davina: You got me here. Now let him down.
Klaus: Well, first, we have to have a little chat about you returning to the fold.
Marcel: [turns to Klaus] What did I say, Klaus? I got this. [He turns back to Davina] D, what happened? Why'd you run? Talk to me. Hey, I can make it right.
Davina: How, by threatening my friend?
Klaus: Actually, that was my idea. Apologies. I've been known to go too far to make a point, But I do always get results.
"With what price?" Said Bella.
Davina: You pretend to be so confident, but I know the truth. You're afraid everyone can see what you really are-- an animal. [She casts a pain infliction spell that brings him to his knees, and he groans in pain] A beast. Why don't you show us your real face? [She magically forces Klaus to partially transform into a werewolf before telekinetically snapping his neck] That's enough of you.
"That's my girl!" Shouted Kol proudly. Davina smiled. Marcel glared at Kol.
Elijah: Davina, you don't have to do this.
Davina: You! You looked me in the eyes and lied to my face. Pretended you wanted to help me.
Elijah: [nervous] Listen to me--
Davina: [cuts him off] --You call yourself the noble one, but you're a killer just like your brother. For 1,000 years, you've fed on innocent blood. Why don't you choke on it? [She casts a spell on Elijah that causes him to regurgitate all of the blood he's consumed before he falls unconscious. She then turns to Marcel, who looks frightened] And you! I trusted you. I loved you, but you were just using me to stay in power. You don't care about me.
Marcel: [pleads] You're wrong.
Davina: When you lost to Klaus, you handed me over like some trophy. Maybe I should boil you in bronze.
"You are such a badass." Said Layla.
"Thanks." Said Davina. Kol looked at Davina with pure adoration.
Marcel: I care. I took you in like you were my own blood. [Bella suddenly appears and stabs Marcel through the chest with a wrought-iron poker. He chokes for a moment before he, too, falls unconscious onto the ground.]
Bella: Come on now, Birdie. Don't tell me you were falling for that. Isn't it time for us girls to have a chat? [She looks around at the neutralized bodies of Klaus, Elijah, and Marcel] Now, that is impressive. And well-deserved, in my opinion. [Davina looks at her suspiciously and hurt.] 
Davina: You-- You knew it. You pretended to be my friend. You got close to me with your lessons and...
Bella: Now, now. I haven't pretended anything, birdie. I'm your friend and i just want to help like i did before.
"Why do you call her birdie?" Asked Hayley.
"Because she was caged and now she is free." Said Bella.
[Josh comes in.]
Davina: Josh, what are you doing? Get out of here.
Bella: Now, if I were Klaus, I would rip Josh's head from his neck, feed it to a nightwalker, but I'm not my brother. It's okay, Timothy. You can come down. No one is gonna hurt you.
Tim: He told me I couldn't climb down off this beam.
Bella: Then don't climb, silly! Am I the only smart one in the room? Jump.
"Seems like it." Said Layla.
[Tim jumps down and Bella catches him before gently setting him onto the floor. Tim rushes over to Davina.]
Tim: Davina, how did you do all that? How did I even get here?
Davina: I'll explain everything, I promise. [She turns to Bella] Why are you doing this?
Bella: Seems to me that you're the one holding all the cards, but you don't know who to trust. I've just proven that you can trust me. Now I'd like to show you one more thing. Won't take long. You can bring your friends.
THE GARDEN
[Bella takes Davina, Tim and Josh down into the Garden.]
Josh: Oh, don't worry. They're not really dead, just really hungry... and I'm not helping.
Bella: You think my brother Nik is awful? Marcel learned from the best. This is how he treats his so-called friends who betray him. Most of what these poor souls did is no worse than what Josh did. Take Thierry, for example. He was Marcel's most trusted friend. Klaus tricked him into breaking one of Marcel's rules. Marcel knows this, and yet he keeps Thierry locked in here day after day, suffering.
Marcel looked down.
Tim: This is insane.
Davina: Why are you telling me this?
Bella: Because you need to know who you're dealing with, who you can trust.
Tim: [to Davina] Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay. I mean, you're gonna be all right. Here. Drink something. [Tim hands her a bottle of water, and Davina drinks from it.]
Bella: I'm doing this, because i want to help you. Yes, you are powerful witch, but you are still a child. And no child should be dealing with this. Children shouldn't be involved in war. They shouldn't be experiencing world's cruelty so early.
"Thank you. For everything." Said Davina.
"You are welcome, birdie." Said Bella.
[Tim starts coughing and falls to his knees.]
Davina: [worried] Tim?
Tim: It was Klaus. He made me do it. I didn't even know what I was doing until I made you--
Bella: Made her what?
Tim: Drink.
Davina: Tim?
Bella: [horrified] Klaus poisoned the water.
Everyone glared at Klaus.
Davina: [frantic] Tim? [Suddenly, Davina starts to get dizzy too, and she falls to the floor in a coughing fit.]
Josh: Davina? Oh, no.
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Elijah, Marcel and Klaus have just awoken on the floor of the courtyard after their wounds have begun to heal. Elijah still has blood crusted all over his face, and Marcel's shirt is soaked in blood as well.]
Elijah: [sighs] Well, isn't this monumentally awkward.
Elijah: [pulls out his phone and calls his sister] Bella, where are you?
Bella: I'm with Davina, and she and her friend are dying because of your treachery.
Klaus: Well, I tried to talk to her, out of respect for Marcel, but she made it quite clear she is not our friend. My apologies if you thought she was yours.
Bella gave Klaus migrane.
Bella: Just tell me how to cure them. Vampire blood isn't working.
Klaus: No. It wouldn't. You see, the poison I compelled Timothy to feed her is quite potent. It's just a matter of time for her.
Everyone glared again.
Bella: For both of them, you diabolical bastard. They're children. We could've dealt with her fairly.
Klaus: There is no dealing with those who threaten us. Davina sealed her fate when she stood against me. This was her choice, not mine.
Bella looked at Klaus dissapointed.
[He hangs up. Elijah and Marcel stare at him, angry and horrified.]
Klaus: [rolls his eyes] Oh, come on. The stench of your judgment is overwhelming. Need I remind you that Davina just bested the lot of us? I did what had to be done. Don't worry, Elijah. I remain as redeemable as ever.
Elijah: So you compelled that boy to poison Davina without consulting Marcel or myself.
Marcel: You know what the worst part is? It's that you're so predictable, I had to make an alliance with your siblings, who I don't even like.
"We don't go crazy about you either." Said Bella.
Klaus: [not amused] Judging by your expression, you have something you'd like to share.
Marcel: Damn straight, I do. Me and Elijah talked to Bella. She happily agreed to do protection spell for Davina.
Klaus: So, when you slipped away to allegedly check on your nightwalkers, you were, in fact, colluding with Bella. That's very clever. I suppose I should be proud.
Marcel: Eh, I just wanted to make sure I had a fail-safe just in case, as Elijah expected, you started acting like you.
Elijah: Davina is Marcel's family, Niklaus, or did that somehow slip your mind as you tried to take her life? Davina will recover. I do wish the same could be said for that boy.
"Thank you." Said Davina to Elijah. He nodded.
THE GARDEN
[Davina revives, gasping. She turns to find Tim's body laying next to her as Bella and Josh look at her sadly.]
Davina: [shakes Tim's body] Tim? Tim? Tim, Tim, wake up. Tim, please wake up. Open your eyes. No, no. Please wake up. Please don't leave me alone.
Everyone glare at Klaus.
