TVD 9x01 (part 3) Enjoy! =)
Cut to – early next morning at the Salvatore mansion. Caroline comes into Bonnie’s room with a breakfast tray.
CAROLINE: Rise and shine sleepy head!
BONNIE: Care…wow, this is so nice! You didn’t have to…
CAROLINE: Of course I did!
BONNIE: I thought you were going to sleep in?
CAROLINE: Ah, how I’d love for those golden days to be back! Maybe someday… for now, it’s pretty much impossible not to wake up before 6. Listen, we need some you and me time, so breakfast in bed it is!
BONNIE: Thank you! Looks yummy!
CAROLINE: (Lays next to her, hugs her) You have no idea how happy I am you are here!
BONNIE: Me too, Care, I needed this.
CAROLINE: So, we didn’t really get a chance to talk last night and I need to know, Bon, are you really O.K? With the whole psychic thing? I know it hasn’t been easy…
BONNIE: It hasn’t but it’s better now. Before I used to hear people’s thoughts all the time, nearly drove me mad. But Darius taught me how to control it, and I’m so thankful for it, felt like I was invading people’s privacy, you know?
CAROLINE: I can relate in a way... it can be very freak, and disturbing in some cases, to get into people’s minds. Can’t imagine if that were a million times stronger…
BONNIE: Like I told Damon, I just take it one day at a time.
CAROLINE: You know I’m here for you, for whatever you need Bon.
BONNIE: I know Care, I’ll be fine. Plus, I’ve learned some pretty cool tricks too, check this out (uses her telekinetic powers to pour syrup on the pancakes)
CAROLINE: (In total wonder) Bonnie! Wow, that’s… amazing!!
Damon nocks then walks in holding a plate of his famous pancakes.
DAMON: Bon-Bon, I brought you… (sees Bonnie and Care having breakfast in bed) What is this? And why wasn’t I invited?
CAROLINE: Girls only Damon! So, shu, go!
DAMON: (Puts his pancake plate aside and takes a bite of Bonnie’s pancake) Augh! These are horrible Blondie! Am I right Bon?
CAROLINE: No they're not! Right? (looks at Bonnie).
BONNIE: (Trying to be nice, since they are quite horrible) No, Care, they are… yum…yummy, yum …yum…
CAROLINE: (Smirks at Damon) See?
DAMON: She’s just lying to be nice; Bon-Bon knows nothing tops my pancakes!
BONNIE: (Picking on him) Nahhh, they are pretty awful too...
CAROLINE: (To Damon) Ha! See??!! Hey, wait! (To Bonnie) what do you mean too? (Gets a text, reads it).
CAROLINE: Oh, you have got to be kidding me!
CAROLINE: Apparently, some student’s skipped school. Arr, teenagers!
BONNIE: Listen, Care, why don’t we get ready and go check it out.
CAROLINE: O.k, we’ll meet in half an hour at Alaric’s office?
CAROLINE: (Looks at Bonnie’s almost untouched pancakes) Aren’t you going to finish your pancakes?
BONNIE: Yes, yes, of course… (takes another forceful bite).
CAROLINE: O.k, see you in a bit (kisses her on the cheek, and leaves).
DAMON: (Throws Caroline’s pancakes in the garbage, gives Bonnie the pancakes he made for her) Here Bon-Bon, just how you like them (gives her a smirk).
Cut to - Matt at the Mayor’s office.
EDWARD POWELL: Sheriff, any leads?
MATT: Not yet Sir, we are working as fast as we can. We have no hard evidence these incidents are related but I think it’s safe to say that something supernatural is involved. All we know for a fact is that the first group of victims had the same diagnoses, brain aneurysms. They also dropped and woke-up at the same time. The second group of victims is being treated and evaluated at Mystic General and Whitmore Medical.
EDWARD POWELL: Listen, Sheriff, I really need for you and your team to get to the bottom of this ASAP. We cannot allow for another “incident” to happen. I took this position under the promise of making Mystic Falls the safest place to live in, and I intend to keep that promise. And, please, call me Edward, Sir. sounds quite odd, we are practically the same age.
MATT: (Soft laugh) I guess that’s true. Trust me, we are doing the best that we can. I’ve also recruited some friends that can help in the “supernatural” department.
EDWARD POWELL: Sheriff, I trust you know what is best, that is the reason I requested your return. You have my full support, and I will provide you with all the necessary resources, just, please move as fast as you can.
MATT: I will. Thank you, I appreciate the vote of trust. I will not fail.
EDWARD POWELL: I know you won’t, nor will I. We owe it to this town to bring them peace, and we will succeed.
MATT: We will. I need to head out now, I have to do some interrogations at the Hospital, then I’m headed to a meeting at the Salvatore school.
EDWARD POWELL: Keep me informed Sheriff, and remember, anything you need, at any time, just let me know.
MATT: I will, thank you, S… Edward. Have a nice day.
Cut to Alaric’s Office. Alaric, Caroline, Sergei, Radka, Damon, Bonnie, and Darius are talking about the students that didn’t arrive to class.
CAROLINE: So, they didn’t show up for class, again? It hasn’t even been two days! Those little… (Radka interrupts)
RADKA: I don’t think they skipped this time. I know they have done it before, but I have a bad feeling about this one. They were genuinely excited to present their project.
ALARIC: When was the last time anyone saw them?
SERGEI: Yesterday, after the last period.
ALARIC: Have you called their cells?
RADKA: Yes, no answer. We’ve looked everywhere, Ric.
ALARIC: Matt is on his way, so let’s just wait till he gets here.
DARIUS: We can do a locator spell, find them faster. Take it you know the drill?
CAROLINE: I’m on personal belongings.
SERGEI: I will get the candles, I have plenty.
ALARIC: I’ll have a map, somewhere around here (looks around, finds one in a drawer).
DAMON: (With serious signs of a hangover) Ah, my head is about to explode! Another human side effect I totally despise…
DARIUS: You know, the best remedy for hang-over is to keep drinking…
BONNIE: It’s not even noon, Darius, are you kidding me?
DAMON: Well, Bon, it’s past noon somewhere in the world, Waldo has a point.
ALARIC: Sorry Bonnie, but I sort of agree with these guys…
BONNIE: We need everyone on game here. So, just take an aspirin and drink some water.
DAMON: Fine Bon-Bon, but once the clock hits the right digits, we’re going old school on this.
CAROLINE: (Comes back from gathering the things) Here, their textbooks, these will do, right?
DARIUS: Yes, those will be fine.
Sergei comes back with the candles. Darius and Bonnie set everything up for the spell, the others gather around. They start the spell, then suddenly they start to bleed from the nose.
DAMON: What’s happening? This makes no sense, this is a simple spell, she has done it a million times before, shouldn’t be taking so much power… Bonnie? Bon, stop! (To the others) We need to stop her now, something is wrong!
Both Darius and Bonnie drop unconscious.
CAROLINE: Oh my god, Bonnie! (rushes to help them)
DAMON: Bon! Bon-Bon! Wake up! (Darius wakes up, Bonnie is still out) (To Darius) What the hell is going on!!??
DAMON: Care! Don’t just stand there, give her your blood! (Caroline gives her blood, Bonnie wakes up)
BONNIE: I’m fine… what happened?
CAROLINE: You were in the middle of your spell, blood started coming out your nose, then you both just collapsed…
BONNIE: I don’t understand... Darius?
DARIUS: I have no idea, Bonnie.
SERGEI: Forgive my intrusion, but if I may say, while you were doing your sorcery, I could have sworn I heard the twins chanting. Perhaps that had something to do with this unfortunate event?
CAROLINE: I can’t believe this! (She leaves the room).
DARIUS: Bonnie, I’m so sorry, I honestly have no idea what just happened.
BONNIE: I know, you and me both…
RADKA: (To Alaric) This has to be linked with the incidents, right?
ALARIC: Not really sure, but it’s a hell of a coincidence if it’s not…
RADKA: I’m worried, Ric. I think this is way out of our league…
ALARIC: (Kisses her on the cheek to comfort her) We’ll figure this out, I swear.
Caroline comes back with Liz and Josie.
CAROLINE: O.K girls, things just got real serious. Tell us, right now, what did you do?!
JOSIE: Aunt Bonnie? Why would you tell us to do that? (Bonnie looks very confused).
ALARIC: Stop with this, we’ve had enough! You either tell us what is going on or there will be consequences.
LIZ: Are you threatening us, daddy? (Radka falls to the ground, she is being powered drained).
CAROLINE: Girls stop it! (They increase their attack) I said stop, right now, or I swear!! (They keep increasing their attack) Bonnie, please help…
BONNIE: Care, I can’t… they’re your kids…
ALARIC: Please, Bon, whatever it takes. There is no other way…
JOSIE: (With a smirk) You think aunt Bonnie can stop us? We can take away her magic too…
LIZ: … just like that (Bonnie weakens a bit).
BONNIE: (To Damon) Don’t worry, I got this. (To the twins) Girls, you know I love you, and I’m so sorry for what I’m about to do, this is not the reunion I wanted us to have. Now, I think you are forgetting just one little detail, auntie Bonnie is also psychic, I can get into your heads and pretty much make you do whatever I want, it is something I really don’t like to do but (uses her psychic powers) when mom and dad tell you to stop, you need to stop.
The twins stop and calmly sit down, in a sort of trance state.
BONNIE: Now, tell me, girls, what is really going on?
CAROLINE: Girls? Aunt Bonnie asked you a question.
LIZ: We really didn’t mean to…
JOSIE: I swear mom, she (looking at Bonnie) makes us do this!
BONNIE: Girls, why are you saying this?
LIZ: Because you tell us to!
BONNIE: Ric, honestly, I have no idea…
LIZ: You do! You told us we are the key, that you need us to focus so we can open that portal… and that if we don’t, you will kill them (looking at Alaric and Caroline).
BONNIE: Girls, listen to me. I would never hurt them, or you, you know that, right? Now, just relax (looks at Care and Alaric to let them know she is going to access the girl's mind, they nod), let me try something. (She uses her powers again to see if she can find something). (To Caroline and Alaric) I have no idea why they are saying this… strange thing is, they are telling the truth… but there is something off, I just can’t grasp what it is.
CAROLINE: Girls, please go to your room, we will talk about this later. (As the girls are leaving). Oh, and in case it wasn’t obvious enough, you are so grounded!
DARIUS: Bon, maybe you should tell them…
DARIUS: You might not remember, you black out when it happens, but you’ve been having episodes again.
CAROLINE: Bonnie, what is he talking about, are you O.k?
BONNIE: I’m fine. I mean, I did have some episodes a while back, but I fixed that, they stopped.
ALARIC: Are you sure, Bonnie?
DAMON: It can’t be that, I know about “the episodes”, this is something different. Listen, Bon, I think somebody is trying to mess with you, we just need to figure out who… and I think Dr. Strange here (referring to Darius) should be on top of our list (Darius rolls his eyes).
DARIUS: Trust me, Damon, I am not involved, but, unlike you, I can actually help her.
DAMON: (Sarcastic laugh) In case you haven’t noticed, she doesn’t need your help; she can handle herself perfectly well on her own.
ALARIC: O.k, let’s stop with this, and focus. I’m sure it is not a coincidence that people are dropping unconscious, students are missing, and someone is playing mind games with Bonnie and the girls.
ALARIC: Good, you are here.
RADKA: Some students are missing, we think it might have something to do with what’s been happening.
MATT: Let’s not jump to any conclusions. How long have they been missing?
SERGEI: No one has seen them since yesterday, after the last period.
MATT: Is it normal for them to disappear once in a while, cut class? I mean, they are teenagers.
CAROLINE: They have Matt, but not this time, something is wrong.
DAMON: Also, some freaky Friday thing is going on with Bon and the girls.
BONNIE: (Soft laugh) Literally, the most far away reference, Damon. (Damon gives her a smirk). We think these things are linked; the incidents, the students, the girls, me… and from the type of incidents, there most definitely is a psychic involved.
MATT: I think so too. I just came from interviewing some patients that woke from their coma and their stories are very similar. All they seem to remember is hearing a woman’s voice just before they collapsed.
BONNIE: (Worried) I’ll bet that if they hear my voice, they will recognize it…
MATT: What are you talking about, Bon?
CAROLINE: Just before you got here, Bonnie and Darius were doing a locator spell to find the students, we think the girls siphoned their powers... then Bonnie and Darius dropped unconscious. The girls say they hear a voice that sounds like Bonnie, that makes them do things… that they are some sort of key to a portal, or something.
SERGEI: This is all very uncanny.
DAMON: Yes, it makes no sense; what do people dropping unconscious, missing students, Bon-Bon, the girls, and Waldo here, have in common?
MATT: Let’s recap, there has to be a reason all of this is connected. The first incident happened 2 days ago, victims were not connected in any way, totally random, 25 reported victims.
ALARIC: That was the same day we had the incident with the girls, they drained everyone in their classroom, including Radka. Bon, Darius, where were you 2 days ago?
BONNIE: In Dublin, waiting to catch our flight.
MATT: Then yesterday, incident number 2, except now the count went up to 50, and again, no relation amongst the victims but same diagnosis, brain aneurysm.
CAROLINE: Well, yesterday we all met at the Grill, and it was the last time the students were seen. And today, well this…
DAMON: (Sarcastically) So, Sheriff Donovan, what’s the master plan?
MATT: For now, we need to keep things quiet, go about your day as if nothing is wrong. I will look for the students, what are their names?
RADKA: Its Veda, Auden, Tabitha, and Nikolai, you know them, Matt.
MATT: Well, now I’m sure that this is not a coincidence.
DAMON: Really? Just now? (Mocking him).
MATT: Listen, nothing can seem out of place or give anyone the idea that we are working together on this. I know we are being monitored, not sure by whom. So, we need to keep a low profile; I’ll do what I am supposed to do, you do the same.
DAMON: That’s your master plan Donovan?
ALARIC: Actually Damon, I think it’s a good plan. We can’t draw any attention. Bonnie, Darius, Radka and I can work on research, get as much intel on incidents involving psychic attacks.
DAMON: Wait? What about me?
ALARIC: You have classes to teach, pal, so I suggest you get to them.
DAMON: Oh, come on! You’re benching me? If anyone should be benched, its Loki here (referring to Darius)! I’m sure his witchy-psychic voodoo is involved in some way.
ALARIC: Sorry buddy, you need to take one for the team.
DAMON: (Annoyed) Fine! (Starts walking out mumbling) What sort of discrimination is this? I’m a human now, so all of a sudden, I’m useless…
ALARIC: Matt and I are also human Damon, it’s not about that.
DAMON: Whatever Professor Xavier! (Keeps walking out).
SERGEI: (To Damon, as they head out of the room) If it is any consolation, I am one of the oldest vampires in the world, and it seems I have also been “benched”.
DAMON: Guess it’s an “occult studies” members only type of thing, so that leaves us out, Count Dracula… (they leave).
ALARIC: O.k, so we (referring to Radka, Bonnie, and Darius) will be in the study. Care, you keep an eye on the girls and run things as usual.
MATT: Sounds like a plan. I’ll keep you informed if I find anything on the student’s whereabouts. Let me know if you find anything from your side (leaves).
Cut to – an underground cave where the missing students are being held captive.
VEDA (Inside Tabitha’s mind): Tab, can you hear me?
TABITHA: I can V, where are you?
VEDA: I don’t know, I’ve been out of it for who knows how long… all I know is that it’s dark, humid, cold... Oh yeah, and I’m a cell!
TABITHA: I think we are in the same place V.
VEDA: The only thing I remember was hearing a woman’s voice, then I blacked out and woke up here.
TABITHA: Me too… Can you reach Nik and Aud?
VEDA: No Tab, I can’t … we need to find each other and get the hell out of here fast!
Some voice, in both their heads.
VOICE: You won’t get out, but you will find each other when the time comes, and you serve your purpose. But for now, nighty night (they both drop unconscious).
TO BE CONTINUED... 9x02 (part 1) coming soon! =)
