Phoenix Rising

1:15: Leverage

I'm in the bayou with Hayley and Eve as we're holding rifles and the wolves behind us with Sabine tied against a tree and Hayley slaps her and walks back over to us. "So what's this, payback? Look. I'm sorry I tricked you. I wasn't after you." Sabine says, looking at Hayley and I. "What, and we were just collateral damage? You almost burned her, Adam and Jackson alive in that plantation fire." Eve says and the wolves growl at Sabine as she tries to get through and Hayley shoots to the side as we all look at her. "Careful, Sabine, or Celeste or whatever you like to call yourself. Sudden moves make me jumpy." She says and cocks her gun. "And homicidal." I say. "What, you're gonna kill me, honey?" Sabine asks and Hayley smiles at her. "No. I know better." Hayley says and the wolves growl behind us. "See, I know all about you. I know that you like to off yourself and then jump into other people's bodies." She says and smiles at Eve and I, and looks back to Sabine. "Well, that's not gonna happen here. I know I can't kill you, but try hexing me, and my friend Eve here will kneecap you. Go for her, and then, well, I'll really make it hurt. My brother and you can say goodbye to your toes and fingers. One. By. One." Hayley says. "You're scary." I say to her. "Thanks." She says, smiling and kisses my cheek. "So what do you two want?" Sabine asks. "Back in the 90's, you inhabited a witch named Brynne Deveraux, remember?" I ask and we see Sabine smile. "Marcel had her, you, put a curse on a lot of werewolves so they'd only turn human on a full moon." I say. "I see. Yes. That was me. Let me guess. You want revenge." Sabine says. "I want you to undo the curse." Hayley says and Sabine smiles smugly at us.

Sabine is sitting on a tree stump by Eve's cabin as she finishes making a potion in the mason jar Eve had in her bag that has an herbal mixture. "Here." She says, offering it to us as her hands are still bound and I take it with both hands, stepping backwards to Hayley and Eve. "It's herbs ground into paste." Sabine says and I look at Hayley and Eve. "It'll act as a conduit for the spell. On the next full moon, your people become human. Feed it to them, the curse will be broken." I say and Hayley takes the jar from me. "Great way to poison us all at once." She says. "Look. I know you guys have no reason to trust me, but, Hayley, Adam, I actually like you. I was you, Hayley, caring for Elijah when he cared more for his brother, and I ended up dead. So did a lot of others. This, call it a chance for me to give you what I was too in love to give myself. It's a chance to free yourself from the Originals." She says and looks at me. "Both of you." She says. "I will love Kol and I will always love Kol." I say and look at Eve as she's looking at both Hayley and I. "You believe her?" She asks and the wolves all start growling and we look around. "Whatever she's promised you, it's a lie." Elijah says as we look at him as he's by the cabin. "Elijah, it's ok. We're okay." Hayley says and Elijah starts walking over to us, pointing at Sabine. "She cannot be trusted." He says. "She's the only one who can help our pack." I say. "Do you have any idea what she has done to our family?" Elijah asks. "I know you want revenge, and come the next full moon, when I'm sure her cure works, she's all yours." Hayley says as Elijah is in front of us and glances at Sabine. "Are you suggesting that we hold her.. her.. captive for an entire month? It would take an army." Elijah says. "And we've got one." I say as the wolves howl in agreement as we look around at them. "So help me or get out of my way." Hayley says and Elijah takes the jar and dashes off with it and Sabine as we all gasp.

We see Sabine and Elijah come back with the mason jar as Eve left and only Jackson in wolf form is here with us. "You came back." Hayley says as Elijah walks over to us, smiling. "I always come back. Take it. It will work." He says and Hayley smiles as I take the jar gently and he smiles back at us and I put it in my bag. "Eve, Adam and I will round up as many of our people as we can. Come full moon, we can finally free my family." She says, shaking her head and we pull Elijah into a hug. "Hayley.." Elijah says as we stop hugging to look at him and he moves some hair out of her face, stroking her cheek gently and kisses her forehead. "I wonder if they have any idea how lucky they are to have you. The both of you." Elijah says and we smile at him and walk off with with Jackson.
