Bellatrix Mikaelson (Season 4+5)

Chapter 5

VINCENT'S HOUSE
Vincent: This thing has been haunting the city for a very long time. And before today the only thing I knew about it was that it was a spirit, practiced some very dark magic, and it was trying desperately to get back into this world. And that's why it tried to sacrifice those kids. That's why it tried to do the exact same thing to Marcel and to Klaus. Because of it kills them, if they die, it absorbs all of their power.
Elijah: Talk to me about this.
Vincent: This is the history of the city. This is the ebb and flow of violence and tragedy. [Vincent gets up and points to his corkboard which has links and details about The Hollow on it.]
Vincent: Look, this is, um, Madame LaLaurie, this is uh, The Axeman. I mean the list goes on and on and on and on and on and sometimes it's hidden, but if you know what you're looking for, right, there's always a sign it's The Hollow. And when it does bubble up, it always do so in a pattern of four.
"Vincent knows the most about Hollow. He could help us find a way to kill her." Said Freya.
Elijah: What does it want?
Vincent: It's a ghost, it, it, it wants access to this world. So it reaches out and it whispers to the desperate.
Elijah: There have to be other's, someone else, someone who could speak to us of its desires, of its weaknesses.
Vincent: You think this person might be at your party?
Elijah: I'm counting on it.
[Vincent nods.]
Elijah: I'm counting on you. Help me find them.
ROUSSEAU'S
[Freya throws a dart at the dartboard and it lands in the middle. People around her cheer. Bella is on stage and singing Fifth Harmony's "That's my girl!".]

O-oh, woah!

Hayley&Bella: That's my girl [points at Freya.]

Freya, Bella and Hayley smile.
"It looks fun!" Said Davina.
"We need girls night!" Said Layla. Gurls nodded.

People clap for her. Bella dramatically bows.
[Everyone cheers and claps for her. Bella dramatically bows, puts microphone back and joins Hayley and Freya.]
Freya: That was fun!
Hayley: It was!
Bella: With me everything is fun. [Freya rolls her eyes fondly. Hayley gets closer to Freya and Bella and lowers her voice.]
Hayley: Fun aside, I have learned something about the man who killed my parents. He was connected to The Hollow. I was just a baby when they were killed, I don't remember it, but I, I do know where they were killed. I was hoping maybe with your spells, and your witchcraft...
Freya: You want us to do a reading.
Bella: Wolfie, violent death has a very specific energy. I could conjure up whatever there is to see.
Freya: But you might not like it. Are you sure you want to do this?
Hayley: I don't think I have a choice.
People look at Hayley sympathetically.
ABANDONED HOUSE
[Hayley, Bella and Freya pull up at the house and get out of the car. They walk inside and shine their flashlights around. The inside of the house is unkempt and looks abandoned.]
Hayley: Are you positive this will work?
Bella: I can feel the energy that was trapped in here when your parents died. So, yeah, it'll work. But do you want to? [Hayley is looking around and picking things up. She slowly stands up.]
Hayley: I've always wondered what my parents might've been like, what they might've thought of me. Missing these people I never even knew. But if this can help us fight the thing that came after my daughter, then let's get it over and done with.
"I'm sure they would love you and be proud of the woman you became." Said Marcel. Hayley smiles at him.
THE ABATTOIR
Klaus: Might I suggest we begin before the evening ends? You can start by locating our enemies.
Vincent: Yeah, I've already begun. I was down there, I was talking to all the guests, shaking hands, and while I was doing that, I was taking a reading. Now, I can take that energy and I can put it into this deck, and it's gonna help us figure out who it is we're looking for.
"He is usefull." Said Klaus. Everyone looked at Klaus surprised, this is the closest thing to approval Klaus would show.
"Don't be so surprised. Vincent is father of his nephew. Klaus has no choice, but to get used to him." Siad Bella. Klaus sent her a glare.
ABANDONED HOUSE
Freya: You ready?
[Freya and Bella begin chanting] Freya&Bella:Ostende det siste. Ostende det siste. Ostende det siste. Ostende det siste. Ostende det siste. Ostende det siste. Ostende det siste.
Hayley's father: We can't let them find it.
Xavier: We need all four of them.
"What are they talking about?" Asked Kalus. Emma didn't answer.
Hayley's father: You're not finding it!
Hayley's mother: No!
THE ABATTOIR
Vincent: Now, the cards are symbolic. They're gonna help us find a common clue.
Klaus: What does any of this mean? Our suspect is a hanged magician with a penchant for collecting swords?
Vincent: Look at the details. What's the common thread that links all of these cards together?
"Snake." Whispered Bella.
Klaus: Well, the Hanged Man hovers above a snake in the grass, Death has a snake on his shoulder, and the Magician holds aloft a serpent.
"Why snake, thro?" Asked Layla. Bella shrugged.
Vincent: Look at that seven of swords. There's a snake there. So that means I'm gonna see somebody who's in the presence of a snake. We find that person, we find the person who's aligned with the Hollow.
Klaus: Well, then by all means, let's go find the viper in our midst.
STORAGE UNITS
Hayley: This is the one. What the hell?
Freya: It's been sealed with a spell.
Hayley: I think I need to do this part alone.
Bella: Be careful.
"Aww. You care." Said Hayley. Bella gave her a middle finger.
THE ABATTOIR
Marcel: You seem confident.
Klaus: Well, Vincent is an expert, powerful witch, motivated to expose evil and protect his flock and Hope. Besides, he knows if this doesn't work, we'll be forced to kill everyone here. Him. Bloke by the stairs.
Elijah: Niklaus. Remember the deal we made.
"What deal?" Asked Layla.
"Klaus won't kill anyone on party." Said Emma.
"How did you manage to convice him?" Asked Bella.
"I don't know." Said surprised Elijah.
Klaus: Well, you want first crack at our foe, be my guest.
Dominic: Our esteemed host. Vincent tells me you requested a private audience.
Elijah: Private, yes. Yet you brought these two fascinating Neanderthals.
Dominic: Well, given your reputation, one can never be too careful.
Vincent: Not unless you have something to worry about. Which you do, because you're the high priest of the Hollow.
"Write him down." Said Klaus.
"I'm not your servant. Do it yourself!" Said Bella.
Dominic: You seem to have made up your mind about me. Not really fair. After all, you're the one who allowed the Hollow into this world. See, your Ancestors were the only thing holding it back. And when you severed that link, you allowed it to go free. And it has been feeding and growing in power ever since. See, I wonder if it will want to show you its appreciation. Perhaps by letting you see your dead husband.
"He already has new wife! Better one, so he doesn't need the ex!" Said Bella. Freya smiled at Bella.
Elijah: That'll be all. Both of you! Leave us. Sit down. Let's start again.
STORAGE UNIT
[Hayley stores through stuff and finds a jaw bone in a teddy bear.]
WAREHOUSE
[Vincent chants a spell and pins the follows to a wall]
Klaus: It's a good thing one isn't judged by the competence of one's enemies. I'd be rather insulted.
Layla chuckles.
Vincent: I was you, once. Thought the Hollow was gonna give me all sorts of power. And it ended up taking away everything from me. It left me with absolutely nothing. Now, I have amazing wife and son. I have family and i won't let it take this from me!
Freya smiled.
"Told you. He will fit in." Said Bella.
Klaus: Gentlemen... I ought to flay the skin from your bones. But these are uncommon times, are they not? Indeed. And they call for uncommon mercies. You and your brethren have a choice. Forsake the Hollow or die by its side. Either way is fine with me.
THE ABATTOIR
Elijah: I must say, it is a compelling offer. Murder in exchange for clemency. If only I could believe that you would uphold your end of the bargain.
"What murder?" Asked Davina.
"Hollow wants Vincent dead for betrayal." Said Emma. Freya looks worried.
Dominic: You're even more perceptive than your reputation suggests.
Elijah: I grew up on a Viking farm. I'm familiar with the scent of fertilizer. I won't ask you again. What does it want?
Dominic: Why, freedom, of course. A spirit cannot manifest the true depths of its power. But when it's once again made flesh...
"That won't happen!" Said Kol.
Elijah: And in what fairy tale do you think that I would allow that to happen?
Dominic: My offer... was a courtesy. The Hollow will take what it wants. Vincent will be ours regardless, but if you insult us further, we will take your entire family. Do you still doubt our power? Well, you shouldn't. As you will soon find out, we came here tonight for one thing. And we already have it. The Hollow will not be stopped.
"What did they want?" Asked Marcel. Emma didn't answer.
Elijah: Ladies and gentlemen... Ladies and gentlemen, we have here an errand boy of the Hollow. A disciple of the very darkness that threatens to devour our city, your loved ones... and mine. Now, whether or not you despise us, my family will do everything in its power... to remove this scourge from New Orleans. I recommend you do the same... or else.
"Really?! You stop me from killing, but you make this show?" Said Klaus. Elijah looked away.
THE ABATTOIR
Elijah: Did you retrieve all of the weapons?
Klaus: Well, I don't know. Let's confirm with Dominic, shall we? Oh, wait, we can't. His corpse is currently burning in a dumpster. I try to avoid bloodshed, you become the town executioner.
"This is weird." Said Kol.
"Tell me about it. Executing and making shows are more like my thing or Klaus's or even you, but Elijah?" Said Bella.
Elijah: Let me handle this.
Klaus: Why exactly should I do that?
Elijah: Hope.
Klaus: You see, it's precisely because of her that I have to assert my involvement. So, brother... Tell me what you know.
Elijah: This thing wants to be reborn. This morning, Vincent said that whenever it resurfaces, it does so in four distinct locations. I can't tell why.
Hayley: It's looking for something. Four things, by the sound of it. And I'm pretty sure that I have one of them. My parents were killed protecting this from one of the Hollow's followers.
"Jaw bone? It's hollow's bone, isn't it?" Said Bella.
Klaus: We've seen this time and time again. When a witch wishes to be reborn, its remains are required to complete the spell. You've just found a piece of our enemy.
Hayley: Lucky me. Who has the other three?
Elijah: Dominic. Dominic said that he had found something here.
Hayley: What? There's just, like, a bag of bones laying around that I didn't know about?
Klaus: No. But there is one.
"It's what it took." realised Layla.
"Fuck" said Klaus
[The Hollow's followers are casting a spell over Dominic's corpse in Lafayette Cemetery]
Klaus: Dominic's death was a distraction.
Elijah: They used our own deception against us.
Hayley: This thing has followers everywhere. They've infiltrated the entire city. If they get to the other bones before we do...
Klaus: Then they may well try to raise this monstrosity. And it will come for us all.
