Bellatrix Mikaelson (The Originals S1)

Chapter 50

ROUSSEAU'S
[Klaus wanders into the restaurant and stumbles into a custodian mopping the floor.]
Klaus: I'm sorry, mate, but I'm a bit famished. [Klaus bites into his neck and feeds on the man. He holds out his hand, which is still bleeding. Lydia comes in and laughs.]
Lydia: You look awful.
"Give me that bitch! I'll show her awful!" Shouted Bella.
Klaus: Why aren't I healing? What have you done to me?
Lydia: [approaches him] Well, you're the one who wanted me to cast the spell. So, I made your stones... by linking their power to your blood. Your sister made it harder, but i managed to fool her  And now, each full moon, whenever a werewolf uses their power to keep from turning, they'll be drawing from your strength! And causing you pain.
Klaus: [groaning in pain] After all I offered you, you will betray me? 
Lydia: [kneels in front of him and grabs his face] Look me in the eyes, Nik. Were you ever planning to give me your mother's grimoire? Did you care about me, even for a moment?
"She literally cursed you and kidnapped your child to kill and is asking you this?!" Said Layla.
"She is crazy. I told you we, Mikaelsons don't have taste." Said Bella.
Klaus: [glares at her] I suppose you'll never know. 
Lydia: [stands up to leave] Francesca kept her end of the deal. There is, after all, honor among thieves, even if they are werewolves. And as for you? The great irony is, in wanting to take the city, you lost everything. [Klaus pulls himself to his feet] your adopted son Marcel, and now, even your child and her mother will suffer, all because of your greed. [Klaus lunges at her, but collapses at her feet.]
Klaus: I will kill you.
Lydia: As weak as you are? Doubtful.
"I want her dead!" Said Layla.
"She is." Said Bella.
[She throws out a hand and uses a pain infliction spell on him until he passes out.]
THE LYCEE
[Josh is laying on the greenhouse table, as Davina sits at his bedside.]
Davina: Josh? Please, drink this. [She helps lift his head so she can feed him some water, but it makes him gag and cough.]
Josh: [groans] Oh, man. 
Davina: [near tears] Just hang on, please? [Josh lays back down on the table, very out of it. Davina is so upset that Josh is dying that she angrily throws the glass of water at the wall. Mikael appears behind her.]
Mikael: Surely you're not surprised? Deep down, you knew Niklaus would leave Joshua to die. 
Davina: [angry] Why are you still here?
Mikael: I haven't much time left. But then, neither does your friend. 
"Manipulative dick." Said Bella.
Davina: [rubs Josh's arm soothingly] I can heal him. I'll find a way.
Mikael: Even if you could, how long 'til it happens again? As long as Niklaus remains in your liens, you and your loved ones will continue to suffer his torment. I am the only man in history who's been able to drive him off. To bring him fear and pain. If your friend needs Klaus' blood to survive, I've been known to spill a fair share of it.
Everone glare at him.
Davina: [skeptical] You'll help me save Josh? 
Mikael: I do have personal reasons for wanting Niklaus to suffer, but yes. I'd like nothing more than to help you. 
Davina: And all I have to do is raise you from the dead. 
"No, no, no. You are making a deal with the devil." Said Layla.
"I know that now." Said Davina.
Mikael: A small price to pay to cure your friend and live a life free of a monster. Think, Davina. There still exists a weapon that can kill Klaus. Bring back the one being who has the strength to use it. [Josh has another coughing fit, which distracts Davina for a moment. When she looks back to where Mikael was standing, he's gone.]
Josh: [very weak] Who were you talking to?
Davina: [smiles] It doesn't matter. I'm gonna fix you.
THE MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[All the vampires are still laying around the compound, either dead or dying from werewolf bites. Marcel returns to the compound to find all of his men have been attacked, just as he was. Bella rushes in room in panic.]
Marcel: [distraught] No. No, no, no, no, no. [Marcel kneels beside one of his vampires, only to find that they're dead. When he checks on another one, he realizes they've been attacked by werewolves.]
Diego: [limps into the courtyard] Marcel. I'm sorry. [Marcel goes to hug Diego, but Diego stumbles and falls. Marcel catches him before he hits the ground.]
Elijah: [runs in in a rage] MARCEL! WHERE IS SHE? [Elijah throws a chair in anger] Where's Hayley?
Bella: He doesn't have her. Lydia snapped my fucking neck. I'm sorry, Elijah. I'm so sorry.
"It wasn't your fault." Said Hayley.
Elijah: Someone does. [He walks over to Marcel] Where is my brother?
Marcel: I left him in the street. He was gonna kill me. And then he got jacked up by some witch's spell. [He starts to pant, clearly weak from the hybrid bite and the fight from earlier. Bella goes toward Elijah and siphons his werewolf veom.]
"Why didn't you cure Marcel?" Asked Layla.
"He was enemy. We tried to stop him peaceful many times, but he couldn't stay in his place and fought us every chance he got like an ungrateful brat, so i didn't see any other choice." Said Bella. Layla and Davina glared at her.
"There is always another way." Said Davina.
"Like it was for waking Mikael, but we all do what we think is right, don't we?" Said Bella. Davina looks down.
ST. ANNE'S CATHOLIC CHURCH
[A group of witches, accompanied by Lydia, drag a struggling Hayley by her arms into the church toward the sacristy. Monique and another witch wait for them in the pews. Hayley screams in fright in hopes that someone will hear her.]
Lydia: [to the witches restraining her] Get her down on the floor!
Everyone glare at them.
Monique: We should take her to the City of the Dead.
Lydia: We won't make it, the baby is coming now.
Hayley: [terrified] No! It's too soon! Ahhhhhh!
Lydia: Apparently not.
Monique: [grabs Lydia by the arm] The plan was to induce her when the sacrifice was ready!
Lydia: I had to subdue her, and the trauma caused a placental abruption. So, the baby is coming, and we'll just have to adapt. 
Hayley: [fights against the witches holding her down] AHHH! LET ME GO!
Lydia: You need to be calm, Hayley.
Hayley: [scared] Why are you doing this to me?
Monique: To be reborn, you must sacrifice. 
Hayley: [pushes Monique's hand away] What does that mean, you psychotic little BITCH?
Lydia: The ancestors demand an offering in exchange for power. 
Monique: You and your child will be a fine offering.
Everyone looked at them disgusted and angry.
Hayley: No! NO! You will not take my baby, I will kill ALL OF YOU!
Monique: No, you won't! And neither will Klaus, or Bella or Elijah! When your baby is born, you will offer her up to those who came before us. [Hayley cries and shakes her head no as she continues to struggle against the witches' restraints.]
"That crazy cunt." Muttered Layla.
Lydia: I'm sorry, Hayley, but this is the way it had to be.
Hayley: No! NO! NO! AAH! AAH! [Outside, Klaus weakly stumbles down the street as he hears Hayley's horrified screams as the witches pin her down on the floor in preparation for her labor. Fully enraged, he roars at the top of his lungs in the middle of the road.]
People look at them with pity.
FLASHBACK-- MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[Hayley sits in a rocking chair in the baby's room, where she is writing a letter. Klaus enters the room and leans in the doorway.]
Klaus: Writing a love letter to one of your many suitors? So, who's the lucky recipient, then? [He smiles] Jackson? Or, Elijah? [Hayley rolls her eyes at him] Don't tell me it's me? [They both laugh] I thought I was out of the running ages ago!
People chuckle.
Hayley: [laughs] And the award for "Biggest Ego" goes to... [She gestures toward Klaus, who continues to laugh. Suddenly, she groans when the baby starts to kick.]
Hayley: Oh! [Klaus walks toward Hayley, looking concerned.] 
Klaus: How is our littlest wolf?
"Aww. He calls her littlest wolf. It's so cute." Said Layla.
"What you don't like about firefly?" Said Bella offended.
Hayley: Do you want to...? [She rubs her baby bump expectantly. Klaus steps back, looking nervous, but Hayley gives him a look.]
Hayley: Come on! [She gestures again to her belly. Klaus reaches out and touches her abdomen, and he's startled when he feels the baby kick.]
People smiled.
Hayley: [laughs] You feel that? [They both laugh in amazement, but after a moment, Klaus suddenly feels awkward and stands up.]
Klaus: Right! I'll leave you to your secret letter, then! [Klaus rushes off, and Hayley smiles as she thinks about Klaus and the baby. In voiceover, Hayley narrates her letter as the scene cuts to Hayley giving birth with help from the witches]
Hayley: [voiceover] Dear Zoe...or Kaitlyn... or Angela. To my little girl. Your dad just asked if this was a love letter. I guess it kind of is. I never got to know my mother. I have no idea what she must have thought when she carried me. [In the present, Hayley, who is in the middle of labor, screams at Lydia and Monique as they stand around her.]
Hayley: AHHHH! Let go of me, you bitch!
Hayley: [voiceover] So, I thought I'd write to you, so you can know how happy I am at this very moment. How much your father and I can't wait to meet you... [In the present, Klaus limps into the hospital and finds the witches with Hayley, who is shocked and relieved to see him.]
Klaus looks down guiltily.
[Klaus lunges toward one of the witch guards and rips his head off. Abigail and Genevieve link hands and telekinetically pin Klaus to the wall.]
Everyone glared at them.
Hayley: [voiceover] And, I want to make you a promise of three things that you will have that I never did: a safe home, someone to tell you that they love you every single day, and someone to fight for you, no matter what.
Everyone looked sad.
[In the present, Klaus fights against the spell pinning him to the wall, but he cannot get free. Monique and Abigail anchor the spell and go back to helping Hayley.]
Klaus&Hayley: AHHH!
Hayley: [voiceover] In other words, a family. So, there you go, baby girl. The rest, we're going to have to figure out together. I love you. Your mom. [Klaus and Hayley watch fearfully as Lydia grabs the ceremonial athame that was used for the Harvest. Hayley continues to scream in agony and terror as Lydia turns to address both Hayley and Klaus.]
Everyone glare at her murderiously.
Lydia: You should know this brings me no joy. I promise I'll make it quick. [One of the witches covers Hayley's lower half with a sheet.]
Lydia: Let's begin, shall we?
