Bellatrix Mikaelson (Season 4+5)

Chapter 13

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY
[Klaus is at Cami's tombstone; the inscription which says, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:7. Marcel arrives and Klaus approaches him.]
Klaus: Thank you for coming.
Marcel: Was something wrong? Vincent said that...
Klaus: [interrupts Marcel] Vincent said a lot of things. And he failed to say a few things more, one of which has me rather vexed.
Marcel: Oh, okay, I see. So you need another favor.
Klaus: No. No more favors. Unless, of course, you count the burden of hearing my confession.
Everyone looks at future Klaus confused, including Klaus.
[Marcel looks at Klaus waiting for him to continue while Klaus looks away searching for the right words. Then he starts talking.]
Klaus: I was never a good father to you.
[Marcel looks away uneasy.]
Klaus: No surprises, I never had much in the way of an example. [Marcel looks at Klaus again.]
Klaus: I never saw myself in the man who raised me. In fact, the first time I saw myself in another was the day I met you. [smiling at the memory] Throwing apples at the oppressor who whipped you raw. I should've known you'd grow up to be a better man than I.
Marcel and Klaus look at each other. Bella smiles.
[Marcel takes a breath before speaking]
Marcel: You do realize we're about, um, 100 years too late for this talk?
Klaus: Well, I'm hardly perfect. Neither are you.
Marcel: Yeah, well, you see, I'm not really too moved by your opinion. If I was, I'd have to face the fact that I'm not good enough for your family, that I'm not...
"I think you fit with Mikaelsons perfectly. I don't know if it's good or not yet." Said Bella.
Klaus: [interrupts him] You are family. You have always been and will always be. In any case, I just wanted to see you one last time before we part ways for good, if only to set the record straight. [Klaus looks away for a moment, searching for the right words.]
Klaus: I failed you... Marcellus. To my eternal shame. [Klaus puts his hand on Marcel's shoulder and leaves. Marcel is moved by Klaus' words and barely manages to keep the tears out.]
Offscreen Marcel is looking at Klaus with unshed tears, too. Bella places her head on Klaus arm and hugs his hand.
"I'm tired." Said Bella. Klaus smiles at her for tring to comfort him.
THE ABATTOIR (FREYA'S BEDROOM)
[Freya is looking out the window. Vincent opens the door and enters the room. Vincent goes to her and touches her shoulder. Freya looks at him.]
Vincent: Hey, Are you okay?
Freya: We need to talk. And... you're not going to like it. [Vincent nods]
Vincent: Okay. [Vincent and Freya sit on the bed.]
Freya: I just...
Vincent: You know you can tell me anything, right?
"You two are cute." Said Bella. Freya smiled.
[Freya nods, takes Vincent's hands in hers, and, looking in his eyes, she starts speaking.]
Freya: I grew up without a mother, without anybody who loved me. And I can't just sit back and watch Hope be taken from Hayley. I have to make things right. They need four vampires... each related by blood to Hope. [pauses for a moment] I can be the fourth... if I turn.
"We discussed it. No." Said Bella.
"But--" said Freya.
"No." Said Bella.
Vincent: But you would lose everything: your home, your family, your ability to practice magic.
Freya: And will I lose you? Would you still love me if i was one of the monsters who you fought against your whole life? Would you trust me with our son?
Vincent: I will always stay with you. No matter what. And i would never take Elias from you. I love you, Freya Mikaelson. [Freya smiles and kisses him.]
Some smile at couple.
THE ABATTOIR (BALCONY)
[Elijah is on the balcony looking at the city below. Hayley approaches him.]
Hayley: We should talk before it's too late.
Elijah: [Interrupts her] I know it's over.
[They remain silent for a while, then Elijah turns to face her.]
Elijah: And what are we, anyway? What is the Mikaelson family? Desperately searching for some kind of humanity beneath the ridiculous banner of always and forever. [They briefly look at each other.]
"That doesn't sound like you." Said Bella. Elijah doesn't answer.
Elijah: [Approaching Hayley] Whatever we are, you and me... We were doomed. I could never be what you needed me to be. [Elijah pauses for a moment and looks away.]
"She basically said she loved your darkness, too. So she didn't want to change you." Said Layla.
Elijah: Best thing I could do for you is disappear.
Hayley: I love you.
Elijah: I love you, too. [Hayley and Elijah kiss.]
THE ABATTOIR
[Freya drinks a glass of blood.]
Freya: Are you ready for what's next?
Vincent: Are you?
Freya: As ready as i can be. It's gonna be okay. I come from a long line of vampires. And, besides, magic's kind of overrated.
"Easy for you to say. You didn't have to live without it." Said Kol.
[Bella appears.]
Bella: It's really not. Ask Kol.
Kol chuckles.
Freya: Bella?
Vincent: (to Freya) I thought if you are gonna die, you should have your family with you. Even if it's temporary. [Freya smiled at him.]
"Aww. Considering, supportive and caring husband." Said Bella.
Bella: No one is dying. I have another plan that might work. Follow me. Others are waiting. [Freya and Vincent look at her confused and follow.]
[In another room, Elijah, Hayley, Layla, Enzo, Marcel, and Klaus are seated. Bella, Freya and Vincent walk in.]
Bella: Well, Hello everyone.
Freya: What plan you were talking about?
Bella: Straight to the business then. Okay. Don't interupt me! (Glares at everyone) Okay, as we all know we need fourth vampire for Hollow's defeat. And none of us wants Hope to be left without parents or Freya to lose magic and become vampire as she was planning to.
"So?" Asked Layla.
"I think i know the plan." Said Bella.
"What is it?" Asked Klaus.
"You will see." Saud Bella.
Klaus: (to Freya) You were what?
Freya: I..
Bella: (interrupts) I told you to not intterupt me!
Elijah: Bellatrix, stop the dramataics and tell us why we are here.
Bella: So... There is one very old blood
-adoption ritual i found centuries ago. If Klaus blood adopts Marcel, Marcel could become the fourth vampire for ritual. [Everyone looks shocked.]
Everyone room is same.
Layla: If there is ritual like this, why you have never used it on me?
Bella: First of all, not directly, but we are related. Secondly, I always considered you as my daughter and i didn't need blood relation to prove it and thirdly, since we are a siphoners it most likely wouldn't work.
"Aww. You love me." Said Layla.
Vincent: Ritual can't be that easy. What's the trick?
Bella: Ritual looks into your soul. It won't work unless Nik truly with his soul considers Marcel as his son and Marcel considers Klaus as his father. They must have the love of father and son for the ritual to work. That's why this ritual failed the most of the times and wasn't used much.
Marcel: What if it doesn't work? [Klaus looks at Marcel, then shifts his gaze to Bella.]
Bella: I think it will. I know you two had many disagreements and don't have exactly the perfect relationship, but it's not what ritual is looking for. Ritual works if you truly love each other as father and son and i think it will work.
Bella nodded at future herself's saying.
Freya: But there is still chance it won't work?
Bella: It's worth a try. So... Marcel, Nik, are you gonna do it? [Marcel and Klaus look at each other and nod.]
Klaus&Marcel: Yes.
THE ABATTOIR
[Bella is in front of drawn circle with candles around it and is preparing for ritual.]
Bella: Okay. I'm ready. Everyone excpet Nik and Marcel please leave.
Freya: I-
Bella: It needs only three people. Binder, father and son. It needs extreme concentration. If any of us get distarcted even by only one second, ritual could fail. So everyone out! [Everyone gets out. Marcel, Klaus and Bella are left alone.]
Bella: [They stand in their places.] Pour your blood in it. [Bella gives Klaus bowl and he pours it then to Marcel, who does the same. Bella kneels, places bowl on ground and starts chanting. After few seconds, she stand up.]
Bella: Nik, Marcel, get into the circle. Marcel on right side, Nik on left. [They do it.]
Bella: Now hold each other's hands. Like when you are shaking. [They do it. Bella pours their blood on hand.]
Bella: Niklaus Mikaelson, Is Marcellus Gerard-Mikaelson your son?
Klaus: Yes.
Bella: Do you love him?
Klaus: Yes.
Bella: Would you lie for him?
Klaus: Yes.
Bella: Would you die for him?
Klaus: Yes.
Bella: Thank you. Marcellus Gerard-Mikaelson is Niklaus Mikaelson your father?
"It seems easy." Said Davina.
"It's not. You must mean it for it to work." Said Bella.
Marcel: Yes.
Bella: Do you love him?
Marcel: Yes. [Bella touches their hand and starts chanting.]
"That's it? You asked Klaus more questions." Said Davina.
"Father has more responsiblities toward children than children to father. That's how it works." Said Bella.
[Suddenly, gold glow shows up and after few seconds it dissapears.]
Klaus: Did it work?
Bella: Yes. Glow wouldn't show up if... [Bella stops talking when she sees Marcel's eyes glow like a werewolf. Klaus looks shocked, too.]
"What the fuck?" Said Kol.
"Blood adpotion. It gave Marcel Klaus's Dna, so he got werewolf genes, too." Said Bell.
Marcel: What- What was that?
Bella: You- You are a Hybrid. I can sense it.
Klaus: My blood turned you into wolf.
Marcel: Wh- what?
Bella: Oh, and now you have blue eyes. Congrulations, i guess? It worked.
Marcel: Am i original, too? [Bella touches his arm.]
Bella: Because of age gap. Your strength and speed aren't as good as Klaus's, but yes, you are original hybrid. Congrulations. [Klaus and Marcel look at her shocked.]
