Scarlett's Light

O COME YE ALL FAITHFUL

MIKAELSON MANSION

Elena turns on her side seeing Scarlett sleeping beside her, she caresses her face with her finger.

Scarlett: Why are you staring at me?

Elena: I'm gazing. It's romantic

Scarlett: It's creepy.

She opens her eyes and looks at her

Elena: This would be more fun if we were naked.

She looks under the blankets and chuckles

Elena: Oh wait, we are naked.

Scarlett wraps her arm around her pulling her closer to her

Scarlett: You're sired to me, Love.

Elena: I know.

Scarlett: Is this real or is it just----

Elena: No, this is real. We're soulmates, remember? We're made for each other.

She leans in closer nuzzling their noses together, growling softly

Scarlett: I should invoke the bond. You don't deserve to be sired to anyone, Little Wolf. But know this, I will never use it to force you to do anything against your will

Elena: I know you would never do that, baby but if you want to, do it

Scarlett: Let's stay in bed the entire day and never leave

Elena: Yes let's do that.

They're about to kiss when Elena's phone rings.

Elena rolls her eyes and takes out her phone

Elena: I have to meet Bonnie. She's teaching Jeremy how not to kill me.

She looks back to Scarlett who caresses her jawline and touches their lips together in a soft passionate kiss

Scarlett: I love you, Little Wolf

Elena: I love you too.

PARLOR-LATER

Scarlett is in her parlor painting on a canvas. Stefan walks into the room and looks at the painting.

Stefan: Looks like a giant snowflake.

Scarlett: I prefer to think of it as an expression of postmodernism. It's my donation to the Winter Wonderland charity event.

Adrian enters the room.

Adrian: You said it was urgent.

Scarlett: Yes, take this to the Mystic Grill immediately.

Adrian: You want me to be a delivery guy?

She walks forward and closer to him

Scarlett: What I want is for you to do whatever I say. Without the attitude.

Adrian grimaces and walks over to the painting. He picks it up and starts to leave the room.

Scarlett: And be careful with that. It's still wet.

Stefan: Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, you know.

Scarlett: What is the point of my hybrids being sired to me if I can't maximize on the benefits of free labour? What are you doing here?

Stefan walks down the stairs and into the room.

Stefan: I know Elena's sired to you

Scarlett: Finally figured that out, did you, Ripper?

Stefan: I need to find the cure and shove it down both your throats now.

Scarlett walks away and grabs a cloth to wipe the paint off her hands.
