Bellatrix Mikaelson (The Originals S1)

Chapter 49

THE MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[In another room, Lydia and Bella have everything arranged to start the moonlight ring spell.]
Klaus: [walks into the room] I trust you're ready?
Bella: [sighs] The last ingredient is personal. As the spell is designed to control transformation, I need the blood of a werewolf who doesn't turn on a full moon.
"Sorry, usually when i did new spells, Kol worked on side effects. That's why i didn't realise when she hide that page. " Said Bella.
[Klaus holds his hand out to them, but when Lydia grabs a knife to use to cut his palm, he grabs her roughly by the arm.]
Klaus: If you fail to hold up your end of the deal, the consequences for you will be apocalyptic.
Lydia: [nervous] You say the most romantic things. [Lydia takes his hand and uses her knife to cut his palm. She drips the blood over the stones and it hisses as she begins the spell.]
THE MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Lydia and Bella continue to cast the moonlight ring spell in the Mikaelson compound, while Klaus, Hayley, and Elijah watch carefully.]
Bella&Lydia: [holds their hands out and chants] Tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse.
Francesca: [rushes in] My people say Marcel is on the move, and he's bringing friends. 
Klaus: [turns to Elijah before rushing away] Get Hayley to safety.
Elijah: [walks over to Hayley and grabs her arm] Come with me.
Hayley: No. I'll stay and watch her. Bella is here, too. I'll be safe.
"I'm sorry." Said Bella.
"It wasn't your fault." Said Hayley.
Francesca: [to Elijah] You should help Klaus. My brothers and their security detail won't be much against a vampire army. I'll stay with Hayley.
Hayley: [nods] Go, Elijah. [She walks over to him and looks him in the eye] And don't hold back. [Elijah reluctantly agrees to this plan, and leaves to help Klaus.]
[Downstairs, Elijah strolls into the courtyard, where Francesca's brothers and their security guards are aiming guns at the vampires who are flooding in from every direction. He joins Klaus in the center of the room as the vampires surround them on all sides.]
Klaus: [smirks] I thought this lot had learnt their lesson! 
"They are thick heads like their leader." Said Bella and looked at Marcel. Marcel showed her middle finger. Bella broke the finger with spell. Marcel screamed and Bella smirked. Kol laughed. Marcel glared at them.
Elijah: Well, they're not exactly renowned for their genius.
Klaus: [to the crowd] So, where's the ringleader of this circus? [He turns to face the other side of the room] Too afraid to show his face? 
Marcel: [appears on the balcony] I'm here! And I'm gonna offer you one last chance to pack your stuff and get the hell out of my town. 
"I really don't get what your plan was. You couldn't defeat or kill him." Said Layla.
Klaus: You'll allow your men to rush to their deaths? Again?
Marcel: Look around. Every vampire in the Quarter is coming out! They want their city back. No surrender this time. You're gonna have to kill us all. 
Klaus: [unfazed] Okay! I think I'll start with you.
Marcel: Fine. Then, come get me. [Marcel vamp-speeds away.]
Elijah: [to Klaus] If you don't kill him, I will.
Klaus: He's mine. This won't take long. 
[Klaus vamp-speeds away, leaving Elijah with the rest of the vampires. Elijah confidently unbuttons his jacket.]
Elijah: [smiles] Gentleman. [He holds his arms wide] Shall we? [Vampires start jumping down from the balconies and lunge for him, and he jumps into battle-mode and starts fighting.]
THE FRENCH QUARTER
[Klaus is angrily skulking down the street to find Marcel. After walking for a moment, he turns just in time to see Marcel jump down behind him. The two begin to fight. At first, Marcel is on top, and beats Klaus up pretty badly.]
"Why are you letting him win?" Asked Layla.
"For dramatic flare. You will see." Said Bella.
Klaus: Not bad. But, not nearly good enough. [They resume the fight. Klaus quickly gains the upper hand, and throws Marcel across the street, where he hits a parked car.]
"See?" Said Bella.
Klaus: [approaching him] How pathetic you've become. Explosives, Marcellus? Really? I should have known it was you who detonated those bombs in the Bayou. 
Marcel: The docks! That was me. I got the detonators from Francesca. Why don't you ask her about the Bayou bombing? 
Klaus: Lies! And distractions! 
Marcel: [yells] I never went after Hayley! I'm not a monster, Klaus! I'm not you. [Klaus glares furiously at Marcel.]
"I don't get what is your problem with Klaus. I mean yeah, he took over your city, but you did it first." Said Layla.
THE MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[In the courtyard, Elijah is fiercely fighting against all of the vampires, and despite being severely outnumbered, he's still winning the fight. Many of the vampires try to stake him with regular wooden stakes, but he simply steals them and uses the stakes on them. One of the security guards makes his way into the room where Lydia is casting the spell, in order to get Francesca out of there.]
Francesca: [holds up a hand] Not yet.
Security guard: Ms. Correa, we need to go. Your brothers are already headed out the back.
Lydia&Bella: Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse. [Hayley's phone buzzes. It's Cami. Hayley ignores it to watch how they make rings.]
"I should have answered it." Said Hayley.
"And i should have not let Lydia snap my neck. Past is past." Said Bella.
Bella&Lydia: Materi lunare tua virtuse. Materi lunare tua virtuse. [They stop chanting and Bella picks up a stone to examine it.]
Bella: [impressed] The stones are finished.
Hayley: [goes to grab the stones] I'll get them to the Bayou. [Lydia snapped Bella's neck with magic. Hayley's eyes widen in surprise and horror. Francesca rushes over to Lydia and holds out her hand.]
Hayley: What the hell is this? [Lydia, looking guilty, places the stone in Francesca's hand.]
Francesca: Call it a side deal. The point is, I'm taking the stones. [She starts to walk away.]
Everyone glare at Francesca and Lydia.
Hayley: [follows her] Are you out of your mind? You think the humans can go up against Klaus?
Francesca: No, I don't. But, I'm not human. [She pulls out a knife, and uses it to slit the throat of her bodyguard. When the bodyguard dies, she doubles over in pain. She looks back up at Hayley with gold eyes and fangs, revealing that she had just triggered her werewolf curse] I'm like you, Hayley. And now, I'm gonna take back my town! [Hayley lunges for Francesca.]
Hayley: Like hell you are! [Before she can do anything, Lydia uses a spell to knock Hayley out, and she falls on the floor. Lydia gives Francesca the rest of the stones. Lydia looks nervous and guilty.]
Francesca: Don't look so dour, Lydia. We both got what we wanted. 
Everyone glared at them.
THE FRENCH QUARTER, THE COMPOUND, AND KIERAN'S SECRET APARTMENT
[The scene cuts back and forth between the various scenes. Outside on the streets of the French Quarter, Klaus has knocked Marcel onto the ground, and is punching him in the face over and over again. Klaus starts to feel noticeably weak after a while, and stands up, leaving Marcel laying disoriented on the ground.]
Klaus: Marcellus. How well your name fits you-- little warrior. Though, ultimately one of no consequence. [Marcel forces himself to stand up in front of Klaus.]
Marcel: My name is Marcel. [Marcel lunges at Klaus, but Klaus easily blocks him. He slams his head against a car that is parked on the street and twists his arm behind his back.]
Klaus: Is there no end to your defiance? You pretend to die, steal my city, try to bury me in your Garden? Try to take over my city AGAIN. And yet, you always fail. [Marcel tries to fight against him, but Klaus grabs his face in his hands and stares him in the eyes] What is there left to do but put you out of your misery? [Klaus lets out his hybrid face and bites Marcel on the neck, feeding on his blood.]
Layla looked surprised.
[At Kieran's apartment, Cami is leaving Hayley another voicemail.]
Cami: Hayley, I've called six times. Call me back. You said you wanted to know if I learned anything about Francesca Correa? Her family is descended from a werewolf bloodline! [At the Mikaelson compound, Elijah is still fighting against the vampires. Outside the courtyard, Francesca is handing out moonlight stones to her brothers.]
Francesca: We spent two generations living a lie. And now, our time. Our time has come. [She squeezes one brother's shoulder] You know what to do.
Everyone glares at them.
[When she leaves them, one of her brothers kills another bodyguard to trigger his werewolf curse. Out in the streets, Klaus stops feeding on Marcel and gasps in pain. His hand has sliced itself open in the same place as Lydia cut it during the spell. He falls to his knees, and Marcel, weakened from his hybrid bite, tries to pick himself off the floor. At the Mikaelson compound, another one of Francesca's brothers kills another bodyguard, and triggers his curse. Out in the streets, Klaus cries out in pain again, as if he's being affected by each newly-triggered werewolf who has a stone. A third Correa brother triggers his curse.]
Everyone glares at Correas.
[Klaus sees Marcel standing up and roars at him ferally. Marcel vamp-speeds away. Back at the compound, the fountain in the courtyard is full of blood. Elijah paces around the room at all of the severely injured and dead vampires laying around the room.]
Elijah: [bored] Are we done?
"I can't get over how cool Elijah is. How did i not know it before?" Said Layla.
[Diego lurks in the corner, injured but braced for another fight. Francesca enters the room.]
Francesca: Well, nice job! Saved me the trouble of killing all these vampires myself! [Elijah looks at her, confused, and is overwhelmed by two of Francesca's brothers, who viciously bite Elijah's neck.]
Everyone glare.
[Diego stares in horror at the Correas, realizing that they've finished the moonlight rings. Elijah is finally dropped onto the ground.]
Diego: [terrified] RUN! [All of the wounded vampires who can still run do so.]
Francesca: Kill as many of them as you can. [The newly-turned werewolves rush around and attack all of the vampires that they can get their hands on. Before Diego can get away, one of the brothers finds him and latches onto his neck.]
Marcel looks sad and angry.
