Bellatrix Mikaelson (The Originals S1)

Chapter 32

MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Bella returns to the compound with a sleeping Davina in her arms. When Marcel sees her return, he rushes toward her.]
Marcel: Is she okay?
Davina smiled.
Bella: She's devastated and exhausted. Where's her room?
Marcel: [shakes his head and holds out his arms for her] No. I got her. I got her.
[Marcel takes Davina. Bella turns to Klaus.]
Bella: I have never been more disappointed in you, Klaus. [Klaus's looks hurt. Bella walks away.]
Bella: [voiceover] It is said that this is a man's world, and sometimes it is. For every Casket Girl that was saved, countless others were not. [Marcel has placed Davina into her bed and stands watch at her bedside, looking sad. Elijah joins him.]
Marcel: She'll never trust me again.
Elijah: Perhaps. You must never surrender the fight to reclaim that trust.
"Speaking from experience?" Said Layla. Bella gave her a look.
Bella: [voiceover] But women are more resilient than given credit for. [Elijah sees some of Davina's artwork nearby and starts to look through it. He comes upon a stack of charcoal sketches and starts to examine them more closely.]
Elijah: These drawings, what are they?
Marcel: She drew those the whole time she was in the attic. Said they're different than what she draws when she senses magic. These ones, she called them evil.
Bella: [voiceover] And some women, well... let's just say their oppressors had better watch out.
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Marcel finally leaves Davina's bedroom. Once he's gone, Davina opens her eyes as the door closes and thinks to herself.]
[In the compound's bar room, Hayley walks in to find Elijah still poring over Davina's sketches. He starts sorting the various sketches out and begins arranging them in a pattern on the coffeetable.]
Hayley: You okay?
Elijah: [smiles] I'm better now. How was your day?
Hayley: [sighs] Killer. What's with the artwork?
Elijah: Davina's sketches. I wonder if they represent some kind of premonition. They seem to suggest something is coming. Something sinister. [Elijah finally finishes arranging the sketches, revealing that they are one big sketch of a very familiar looking woman's face. It's Celeste, Hayley and Elijah both recognize her.]
"Uggh... that bitch! I never liked her." Said Bella.
OPENING / MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Upstairs in Davina's room, Marcel has just arrived with food for her, but she stands up and screams at him, frightened.]
Davina: [telekinetically throws him against a wall] Go away!
Marcel: Come on. You got to be starving. You haven't eaten since--
Davina: Since your best friend killed my best friend?
People look at Davina sadly.
Marcel: Davina, I'm sorry about what happened to this kid Tim.
Davina: I'm sorry you don't hate Klaus for what he did or want to make him pay.
Marcel: He'll pay for what he did one way or the other, but right now, I just want to make peace with you.
Davina: Why? So we can be one big happy frankenstein family? [Downstairs in the living room, Klaus and Elijah are making themselves drinks at the bar while they listen to Davina and Marcel fight.]
Klaus: Well, that's going well.
Elijah: If you were trying to win the girl's trust, perhaps poisoning her one true love was not the most splendid idea.
"Exactly." Said Bella.
Klaus: Oh. Are there any more inopportune deaths you'd like to wave in my face?
Elijah: [sarcastic] Give me a month. I'll get you list.
Some chuckled.
Klaus: Young, old, dead, or alive, witches are a pain in the ass.
"Hey!" Said Bella, Layla and Davina.
"Your daughter is a witch too, you know?" Said Layla. Klaus raised his hands in defeat.
[Back in Davina's room, Davina glares at Marcel for a moment before she begins vomiting up dirt all over her bed. Marcel begins to panic.]
Marcel: Davina, Davina! [Klaus, who has heard the commotion, enters the room to investigate.]
Klaus: What's with all the racket? [He stops in his tracks when he sees Davina still throwing up soil] Bloody hell.
"Ew." Said Bella and Layla. Kol looks worried.
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Bella, looking worried, rushes into Davina's bedroom to check on her. She sits next to where Davina is laying weakly on her bed.]
Bella: Hey! are you okay, Birdie?
Davina: I didn't do it. Not on purpose. I-- I don't know what's wrong with me.
People look at Davina sadly.
[Down in the living room, Klaus and Marcel are conferring about what is going on.]
Klaus: This is madness. How can a 16-year-old girl shake the entire French quarter?
Marcel: I've seen her rock the church, but I've never seen anything like this.
Klaus: How did you control her when she was in the attic?
"For the last fucking time..." said Bella.
"SHE ISN'T A WEAPON!" yelled Kol, Marcel and Bella.
"It's past." Defended Klaus.
Marcel: I didn't have to. But then, I never killed her boyfriend.
Klaus: Yes, yes. We've been over this part already. The point is in her present state she's useless as a tool against the witches.
Everyone glare at Klaus.
Marcel: She's not a tool.
Klaus: Something's wrong with her.
Elijah: She has too much power that she cannot control. That much we already knew. But why is it manifesting itself in such an aggressive manner? [Elijah suddenly gets an idea and goes to leave the room. Klaus gives him a look of confusion before stopping him.]
Klaus: Where are you going?
Elijah: This is witch business. Let's ask a witch. [Elijah leaves the room and finds Hayley waiting for him in the hallway.]
Hayley: You're going to see Sophie.
Elijah: You don't have to eavesdrop. I keep nothing from you.
Hayley: Yeah, well, I don't want to keep anything from you either, and if you're going out to see Sophie, then there's something that you should know. [She pauses, looking anxious, before she continues] She called me and asked me for a favor. She promised me that she would help break the curse that Marcel put on my people in exchange for some information. And I didn't think anything of it, but then Davina started doing those pictures of Celeste--
Elijah: Whatever this is, you have to tell me.
Hayley: Sophie wanted to find Celeste's remains, so I went through your journals, and I found out where you buried her, and then I told her. I know it was stupid and it was snoopy. And I--I should have just asked you. [Elijah stares at her blankly, speechless] Please say something. Please.
Elijah: [clearly upset] She wanted to be left in peace. When a witch's remains are consecrated, that power fuels the rest of their community. Celeste did not want her remains to be found. She made me promise to bury her where she would not be found. You not only violated my privacy, you have broken my promise to her.
Everyone looked at Elijah with pity.
Hayley: I thought they were just bones, Elijah.
Elijah: If you truly believed that, why didn't you ask me where to find her?
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Elijah has brought Sophie back to the compound, where they have joined Klaus and Bella to discuss their current predicament.]
Elijah: So you have stolen the remains of the very person that Davina's been drawing for months. Would you care to explain this startling coincidence?
Sophie: I can't. I didn't even know who Celeste Dubois was until I-- [She is cut off when the house starts to shake violently, like the earthquake from earlier. Sophie looks alarmed, but Klaus and Elijah seem merely irritated. Bella looks worried.]
Sophie: Was that Davina?
Klaus: Charming little habit she's developed.
Sophie: And the earthquake I felt today?
Bella: Also Davina. And, she's taken to vomiting dirt. You think it is happening?
Klaus: What?
Sophie: [panicked] Oh. It definetly is. I thought that we had more time, but we need to complete the Harvest now.
Klaus: Said the desperate witch,  conveniently.
Sophie: I'm serious! That earthquake you just felt is a preview of the disaster movie that is about to hit us.
Elijah: Why should we believe you?
Bella: I hate it, but she is telling truth. For months now, Davina has been holding all the power of the three girls sacrificed in the Harvest ritual. A force that was meant to flow through her and back into the earth. One person was never meant to hold that much power. Now because of stress process, it is fastened.
Sophie: It's tearing her apart, and it will take us down with it.
Davina looked down. Marcel hugged her.
FRENCH QUARTER / MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[The scene cuts from Klaus updating Father Kieran as they walk down Rue de Main, while Bella explains it to Davina in her bedroom, and Sophie explains it to Marcel in the living room of the compound.]
FRENCH QUARTER
Klaus: We need to prepare. According to Sophie Deveraux and my sister, as Davina self-destructs, she'll cycle through four stages that represent the four elements that bound together the Harvest.
Kieran: The earthquake?
Klaus: Yes. Earth stage comes first.
DAVINA'S ROOM
Bella: Then comes wind, and since each stage is more intense than the last, let's just say you'll blow the roof off this place.
FRENCH QUARTER
Klaus: Then after the wind is water. Rain, flood...
Kieran: How bad?
Klaus: Quite bad, actually, but that's not the worst of it.
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
Sophie: The last stage is fire, and since it's the last...
FRENCH QUARTER
Klaus: It will be by far the worst. But, I didn't take over this town to watch it burn to the ground.
Kieran: You can stop this, right?
Klaus: Yes, but you're not gonna like how.
DAVINA'S ROOM
Bella: They want to complete the Harvest.
Davina: [panicked] No!--
Bella: The witches say you'll be resurrected.
Davina: They're liars! They'll say anything to get what they want. Just like Marcel. Just like you!
Everyone look at Davina sadly.
Bella: I'm sorry, Birdie. I really am. I know you think i'm lying, but i'm not. I have never lied to you. And you may think that I don't care about you, but you're wrong. I don't teach just anyone. I chose you, because i saw strength in you and i'm not talking about your huge magic. I mean stength in you as person, you have fire in you, the warrior's spirit. Even through you went through hell, you still managed to stay pure and that takes lot of strength. You don't desrve all this and i wish there any other way, but there isn't. I'm sorry.
Everyone looked sad.
