FLASHBACK-- COURT OF MARSEILLES, 1002 AD
[In Flashback to the court of Marseillies, a celebration of some kind is being held outside the Count de Martel's castle, where the entire court has gathered in the yard. Music is being played on instruments nearby, and guests mingle at the various stations. There are tables laden with fruit, bread, and cheese set up next to a practice field, where several women, including Aurora and Bellatrix, are kneeling in the grass together. The women watch with interest as Elijah and Tristan practice throwing axes at wooden circles propped up several meters away, clapping in amusement when their axe hits its target. Near one of the tables, Klaus is sitting in a chair, where he's whittling a horse figurine from a block of wood and narrates the memory in voiceover.]
Bella: [voiceover] Our memories of Lucien goes back to a time when our family was happy. Things were good... Or, as good as things could be as vampires hiding in plain sight. Everyone in Marseilles was held in the thrall of the Count's arrogant son Tristan and his sister, the Lady Aurora.
[Lucien catches Aurora's eye from across the yard and smiles at her. She returns the smile, which does not escape Tristan's notice, and when he turns to see Lucien staring at Aurora, he becomes visibly annoyed. Aurora does her best to pretend like she wasn't interacting with him before Tristan walks away. Lucius than looks at Bella who is laughing with girls, Bella feels the stare and turn around to see Lucien staring at her, she smiles at him. Lucien smiles back. ]
"Scumbag!" Said Bella and threw her dagger at the screen on Lucien's face. Girls look at her sympatherically.
Bella: [voiceover] In hindsight, I could have done more to prevent what was to follow. I could see how he would look at Aurora time to time, but i was in love and i chose to trust him. I let love blind me, i chose to close my eyes and i payed price for it.
People look at her sadly, but she ignores it.
[Later on that evening, Aurora paces around her bedroom, eventually slipping into a small alcove near the door and smiling to herself. After a moment, a man comes up behind her and squeezes her shoulder before spinning her around to face him. Aurora gasps when she sees him and smiles as she caresses his cheek with her hand. Klaus then quickly cups the back of her head and kisses her, flipping them so she's pressed against the nearby wall as they continue to make out.]
Bella: [voiceover] I still think Lucien loved me, but he loved Aurora more. One day he sought her out... [Klaus and Aurora are making out even more passionately now, and just as they're about to have sex, Lucien walks into the hall and finds them in the alcove. Klaus and Aurora doesn't notice him. It's clear by the expression on Lucien's face that he feels betrayed and hurt.]
Bella glares at him.
Bella: No one knew me and Lucien were dating. Not even Klaus. [Klaus, sensing something nearby, becomes even alarmed.]
Klaus: [anxiously] The guards are coming.
Aurora: [panicked] My handmaids must have seen you enter. If the guards know, then Tristan himself will be alerted! [She looks at Klaus in horror, but he takes her hands and squeezes them comfortingly.]
Klaus: I will deal with them.
Aurora: [distraught] No. No, Niklaus, he is my brother! [Lucien, so upset he has broken down into tears. A panicked Aurora desperately grabs Klaus' hand again and tries to pull him away.]
Aurora: Go! Now, please! By the window, the same as you came. [Aurora is breathless from fear, Klaus caresses her cheek one last time before he leaves. Lucien cames out of shadows.]
Lucien: You think he cares?
Aurora: (surprised) Lucien?
Lucien: He's a beast! I loved you since we were little. [Lucien tries to kiss Aurora, but Aurora stops him.]
"He used past tense." Said Hayley.
"Oh, pleaaase. He went to declare his love, because he was jaelous when he noticed Klaus's and Aurora's closeness." Said Bella.
Aurora: Lucien, I love Nik! [Lucien looks hurt, we see behind the wall is Bella leaning on wall, covering her mouth and crying. Bella hears The sounds of footsteps, loud male voices, and clattering weapons grows louder and louder as the guards approach the room and vamp-speeds out. But before Lucien can even attempt to escape, Tristan walks into the room with two armed guards to find his sister holding his hands, and he is stunned and appalled by the sight of them together.]
Tristan: [horrified] YOU! [Tristan, unable to look at them, turns to his guards.]
Tristan: Take him.
PRESENT DAY-- MIKAELSON COMPOUND, 2013
[In the Present day, Bella is sitting at the desk in the study of the Mikaelson compound and explains their situation with Lucien to Klaus and Elijah.]
Klaus: Given the circumstance, Lucien qualifies as both friend and foe, and according to Freya's prophecy--
Elijah: [cuts him off] --You are to beware both friend and foe. But, let us not forget family, Niklaus. [Klaus, clearly hurt by the insinuation, pauses for a moment before shrugging it off.]
Bella: Lucien's two out of three-- I say we put him down.
"You just want to kill him." Said amused Layla.
"Can you blame me?" Said Bella.
"Why didn't you do it before?" Asked Layla.
"I... I couldn't." Said Bella. Layla raised her eyebrow.
"You never forget your first love, Firefly." Said Bella. People look at her sympathetically.
Klaus: Just like old times.
Elijah: [drolly] Just like old times? Brother, I wonder who among our family do you suppose has the greatest predilection for betrayal?
Klaus: (frustrated) Brother, please--
Elijah: [interrupts him] Now, before we murder Lucien, there are certain questions that need to be answered. Chiefly, what is he doing here? [Klaus remains silent, but looks at him curiously.]
Elijah: And the wolf venom... Why would he lie to you, his sire? [Elijah picks up one of Klaus' larger paintbrushes and tosses it in the air before catching it several times.]
Elijah: I'm afraid we might have to resort to something deliciously medieval here, brother...
Bella: [smirks] "We?" I take it you will lower yourself to associate with your bastard siblings? [Klaus stands to his feet, and Elijah smiles fakely at them.]
Klaus: Have you finally forgiven us?
Elijah: I will consider it... [Klaus and Bella look pleased by this answer and smile at him, but Elijah is not the least bit amused.]
Elijah: ...When Hayley forgives you, Gia rises from the dead, and hell freezes over.
"Wow. He's really angry." Said Kol.
Elijah: For now, however, let's just hope your little relationships with Lucien doesn't disrupt our mission. [Elijah turns and leaves the room without another word. Klaus and Bella, surprised and hurt by this reaction, just
gape in shock at Elijah's words.]
NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT
[Lucien is still sitting alone in the interrogation room while he waits for Cami to come in. Outside, Cami is just about to walk through the door when Vincent stops her]
Vicent: No. You're not going in there!
Cami: [rolls her eyes] Vincent, he's not going to kill me in the middle of a police precinct! [She opens the door and walks inside, and Vincent, visibly annoyed, follows her inside and closes the door behind them. Cami confidently sits down in the chair across from Lucien, who seems amused by her appearance.]
Cami: You asked to speak with me. Here I am, willing to listen. Which, if I'm gonna be honest, is more than you deserve.
Lucien: [gives her a look] I thought New Orleans had the same burden of proof as the rest of the colonies. What is it? Ah, yes-- innocent until proven guilty. [Vincent grabs a chair and pulls it over to the table before setting it down next to Cami and sitting in it backwards.]
Vincent: The murders started the same day you got into town. All the victims match a pattern-- wealth that, uh, you yourself seem to exude. Not to mention, we know what you are.
Lucien: Hmm! What I am is a ruthless, vicious, unstoppable killer. That's not to say I had anything to do with this-- far from it.
Cami: Why bother denying it if you are what you say you are?
Lucien: [sighs] Cami, you don't know me. But, if you did, you would see that we were the same. [He stares at Vincent for a moment.]
Lucien: All three of us, actually. Three souls caught in the orbit of Family Mikaelson, yet somehow survived to tell the tale. Though, each of us has our share of scars.
"Ughhh... i hate him!" Said Bella.
[As Lucien speaks, he is transported to a flashback to the early 11th century...]
