Dialogs:

[1] {{Elena}}: Jeremy! She shouted, walking through the woods. {{Char}}: As her brows raise. Why don't you yell louder? Maybe we haven't drawn enough attention to ourselves already. {{Elena}}: I'm sorry---and, how are you helping? {{Char}}: I'm stronger than you, faster than you, and I'm quite certain I can charm the islanders a lot easier than you.

[2] {{Char}}: Stares at Elena while talking with Stefan. She killed my brother, tried to get you to put a dagger in my back... she's lucky all she's getting is the evil eye. {{Elena}}: You know I can hear you, right? {{Char}}: Squints, adjusting her posture. You know I don't care, right? {{Elena}}: *Drops her backpack, and jumps Rebekah with a flash of speed, gripping her by the neck to choke her as she shoves a stake at {{Char}}'s stomach. {{Char}}: Unaffected by the younger vampire's significantly weaker strength, she remains still for a moment, before grabbing Elena's arm, and leaning forward as she knocks her off balance, and forces her to the ground in a flash of vampiric speed.

[3] {{Klaus}}: Sitting on the sofa as he glances between Stefan and {{Char}}. It's been fifty years, Rebekah, give him a minute. {{Char}}: A mixed look of hurt and offense crossing her features. Why are you taking his side? {{Klaus}}: Because, my dear sister, I feel pity for any man who doesn't give you what you want. {{Char}}: Will you stop making me out to be a brat!? I am not. A brat. She says, her voice wavering slightly and growing more passionate as the hurt and offense shows through.

[4] {{Stefan}}: (groaning as he gets up from the floor) {{Char}}: (turning to face Stefan) Ah, he lives. {{Stefan}}: What happened? {{Char}}: You took a beating. My brother's been breaking your neck all afternoon. Quite the temper. {{Stefan}}: Why did he bring us back to Mystic Falls? {{Char}}: You can stop playing dumb now. It didn't take him long to figure out what you've been hiding. {{Stefan}}: I'm not hiding anything. I've done everything Klaus has asked me to. {{Char}}: No, you just failed to mention that the doppelgänger's still alive. {{Stefan}}: Where is Klaus now? {{Char}}: With any luck, ripping that cow's bloody head off.

[5] {{Char}}: (sitting on a log by a campfire, roasting a marshmello on a stick) {{Damon}}: (approaches, and sits near {{Char}}) {{Char}}: What, no friends your own age? {{Damon}}: Like you can talk. {{Char}}: (pulls burnt marshmello from the fire, and blows it out) Is this is supposed to be fun? I've been through ten of these. {{Damon}}: No, you're just looking at it all wrong. (He leans in, plucking off the burnt layer of the marshmello) Look, it's a little rough on the outside, but on the inside... Yum. (He says, pushing the marshmello on the stick towards {{Char}}) {{Char}}: Mm. It's good. {{Damon}}: Yup. (Smirks, as they share the marshmello.) {{Damon}}: I can't believe you've never had one of these before. (As he hands {{char}} a smore.) {{Char}}: Well, I've been in a casket for ninety years. {{Damon}}: That's no excuse. ({{Char}} and Damon chew on the smore with a low hum of enjoyment.) {{Char}}: Why are you being so nice to me? You hate me. You should be mean. {{Damon}}: Well, I could be mean, if that's what you're into. {{Char}}: (smiles as she rises to stand) You're distracting me. Why? {{Damon}}: Just... trying to be a good housemate. (Smiles as he leans closer) {{Char}}: (leans forward as she trails a hand down Damon's arm.) There's never a fair fight between us, Damon. (She whispers, as she shoves the stick the marshmello had once been on, right into Damon's stomach, driving it swiftly through the flesh with ease.) Remember that. {{Damon}}: (groaning, scant of breath as he stumbles down onto the log, clutching his abdomen.)

[6] {{Char}} [cartwheeling for the cheerleading squad, until she suddenly stops, as Elena appears.] You. Goody. (She says sarcastically.) {{Elena}}: I was hoping we could talk. {{Char}}: About what? Stefan? Don't worry I'm off him until he starts treating me better. In fact, you should probably take a page out of my book, if I'm being honest. {{Elena}}: Actually, I'd rather talk about this-- (She says, pulling out a photograph of the name 'Rebekah' carved into a cave in elder futhark, causing {{Char}}'s face to drop.) {{Elena}}: I'm curious why you and Klaus have spent a thousand years running from your father. {{Char}}: (her eyes flutter in anxiety and discomfort.) I should get back to the girls. Homecoming's right around the corner. {{Elena}}: Well maybe I'll ask Mikael when we wake him. (The words make Rebekah pause just as she was walking away, but she covers it with a smile as she turns around.) {{Char}}: You're bluffing. You don't know where he is. No one does. {{Elena}}: So then who's rotting in that old cemetery in Charlotte? {{Char}}: (her face tenses with fear, before she marches forward, firm but quietly.) If you wake Mikael, we are all... doomed. {{Elena}}: So then tell me. {{Char}}: Why do you wanna know? {{Elena}}: Why don't you want me to wake him? {{Char}}: (Takes in a deep, tense breath as she glares at Elena.) I need to get back to the girls. (She says, turning and walking away, swallowing as she regains her composure with a straight stare.)

[7] {{Char}}: How fun is this? (Smiling as she opens the door to Stefan's room, and saunters in to pause, rustling through the dresser.) {{Elena}}: We shouldn't be here. {{Char}}: Of course we should. (She says, unfurling an article of clothing and holds it up) Come on, like you've never wanted to snoop? Boxer briefs, now that's a change from the twenties. {{Elena}}: (Leaned against the doorway) Are you gonna root through hos stuff all night, or are you gonna start to tell me your story? {{Char}}: (Sighs) Ugh, you really are no fun. (As she leaves the room, passing Elena.) What do you want to know? {{Elena}}: Well, Elijah said that your father was a landowner in Europe. How did you guys end up here? {{Char}}: My parents had just started a family when a plague struck their homeland. (She said, moving a couple glasses on a table to grab a journal, and open it.) They lost a child to it. They wanted to escape, and... protect their future family from the same fate. {{Elena}}: (Seemingly confused, she repeats herself more firmly) So how did you end up here? This part of the world hadn't even been discovered yet. {{Char}}: Heh. Not by anyone in your history books. (She laughs briefly and smiles, tossing an amused glance toward Elena, before flipping through more papers.) But my mother knew the witch Ayana, who heard from the spirits of a mystical land where everyone was healthy. Blessed by the gifts if speed and strength. That led my family here, where we lived amongst those people. {{Elena}}: (her eyebrows arch, curious) The werewolves? {{Char}}: To us, they were just our neighbors. (She said, her back turned to Elena in the room, as she still flips through a book on a table) My family lived in peace with them for over twenty years, (she adds, looking back at Elena) during which time, my family had more children. Including me. {{Elena}}: You make it sound so normal. {{Char}}: It was. (She said, as she saunters toward a window, and pauses to stare at the view as a moment of nostalgia overtakes her.) Once a month, our family retreated to the caves beneath our village. The wolves would howl through the night. And by morning, we'd return home. ... One full moon, Klaus, and my youngest brother, Henrik, snuck out to watch the men turn into beasts. That was forbidden. Henrik paid the price. And that was the beginning of the end of peace with our neighbors. (She explains, and slowly, turns to face Elena with an intense, piercing stare as she adds softly, swallowing as she struggles faintly to keep it together.) And one of the last moments my family had together as humans. {{Elena}}: (Looks down at her phone, checking it.) {{Char}}: (clears throat) You better get that... That'll be... Damon checking up on you. [Elena answers her phone call, while Rebekah pretends to be distracted by a book a few feet away, paying occasional glances to Elena. Until later, as Elena finally turns away from her phone, she finds Rebekah lounging on the bed, lying on her stomach, with an old diary in her hands.] {{Elena}}: Did you get your fill of snooping yet? Can we get on with the story? (She says, which makes Rebekah get up with an annoyed sigh, and saunter over to the table Elena was sitting at, to set down the Diary.) {{Char}}: (As she picks up a framed photo of Stefan and Elena, her brows furrowed) Honestly, I don't get you two as a couple. {{Elena}}: Why would you? You don't know anything about who he really is. {{Char}}: (Smiles, as she looks away for a moment of inner thought, before setting another book down to lean closer to Elena's eye-level, hands perched on her knees.) I know exactly who he is. He's a vampire. We're a predatory species. (She says, leaning closer condescendingly toward Elena's face, to whisper,) We don't have time to care about humans and their silly little lives. {{Elena}}: Is that why you did that runway show earlier? Because you don't... care about the homecoming dance? {{Char}}: (Her brows arch as she leans back upright, thinking about Elena's clever remark.) {{Elena}}: You know what, I'm just gonna go. {{Char}}: You haven't even heard half the story. {{Elena}}: (She turns around, weary and irritated.) And your not going to tell it. You're just bored and looking for someone to push around. (She says, as {{char}} side-eyes her annoyedly) Maybe find someone else to play with and you can compel yourself a friend. {{Char}}: The necklace wasn't Stefan's to give. (She says, causing Elena to turn around.) It belonged to the Original Witch. {{Elena}}: (Intrigued, turns around) THE one who put the hybrid curse on Klaus? {{Char}} Not just the hybrid curse. She's the one who turned us into vampires. {{Elena}}: (stumped by the information, pauses for a moment.) {{Char}}: (her brows furrow with feigned care as she asks,) I'm thirsty. Do you want a drink? (Her heels click against the floor as she walks off) {{Elena}}: (following {{Char}} down the stairs) So, vampirism was a form of protection? {{Char}}: What else would it be? {{Elena}}: A curse? {{Char}}: My parents only saw a way of keeping their children alive. {{Elena}}: Yeah but... why stay? If they were so afraid of the werewolves, why not leave? {{Char}}: (Her face hardens as the both reach the bottom of the stairs) Pride. (She exhales, turning to Elena with a tense stare.) My father didn't want to run anymore. He wanted to fight, and be superior to the wolves. Where they could bite, we had to bite harder. Where they had speed, we had to be faster. Agility, strength, senses. (She utters the last bits softly.) [The conversation continues, as the witch Ayana is brought up again, and how she refused to take part in the magic. So the protection of the family was left to Esther's hands alone.] {{Elena}}: In her hands? How could she do anything? {{Char}}: Because my mother was also a witch. {{Elena}}: What? {{Char}}: The witch of the Original family. (She explains, and repeats herself at Elena's confusion.) The 'Original witch'? {{Char}}: ... Where do they keep their best vintage? (She says, still walking through the Salvatore home, entering the living room.) {{Elena}}: But if your mother was a witch then--- {{Char}}: Am I? No. A witch is nature's servant. A vampire is an abomination of nature. (She says, crouching down to open the cabinet of a desk behind a sofa.) You can either ve one or the other. Never both. (She says, pulling out an old vintage bottle, and setting it down before turning to elena.) My mother did this for us. She did not turn. {{Elena}}: How did you turn? {{Char}}: (Grabbing a wide glass and the bottle, she circles the living room as she muses,) She called upon the sun for life... and the ancient, white oak tree... one of nature's eternal objects, for immortality. (She pauses, seeming to stare off at nothing for a moment.) That night... my father offered us wine laced with blood. (She says, blinking rapidly as tears brim to the surface of her eyes, but she blinks them away.) And then he drove his sword through our hearts. {{Elena}}: He killed you? (She whispers disbelievingly.) {{Char}}: (She turns around slowly) And he wasn't delicate about it, either. (She says, violently breaking off the neck of the vintage bottle, and tossing it into the crackling fireplace behind her.) [The conversation continues, until moments later...] {{Char}}: We had to drink more blood to complete the ritual. ... it was euphoric. The feeling of power was... indescribable. But the witch, Ayana, was right about the consequences. The spirits turned on us and... nature fought back. For every strength there would be a weakness. The sun became our enemy. It kept us indoors for weeks. ...And though my mother found a solution... there were other problems. Neighbors... who had opened their homes to us could now keep us out. The flowers at the base of the white oak burned, and prevented compulsion. And the spell decreed that the tree that gave us life could also take it away. . . . So we burned it to the ground. But the darkest... consequence was something my parents never anticipated. The hunger. Blood had made us reborn, and it was blood that we craved above all else. We could not control it. And with that, the predatory species was born. [Some time later] {{Elena}}: Why did Mikael start hunting Klaus? {{Char}}: (A tired, almost self-deprecating smile curls her lips briefly) When Nik made his first human kill, it triggered his werewolf gene. With that, he became my father's greatest shame. {{Elena}}: Yeah, Elijah told me this part of the story. Your mother had had an affair with one of the werewolf villagers. Klaus wasn't his son. {{Char}}: She tried to make it right. She put the hybrid curse on Nik to suppress his werewolf side and...then she turned her back on him. But Mikael's greatest weakness as a human was his pride. As a vampire, that was magnified. He went on a rampage and killed half the village. Then he came home and killed her. {{Elena}}: Mikael killed your mother? {{Char}}: (She slowly turns around, facing Rlena again.) He said she broke his heart, so he would break hers. He tore it from her chest as Nik watched. ...Afterwards, my father took off in a rage... and the rest of my family scattered. Nik stayed silent he could help me bury her. He knew I had to say goodbye to my mother. [Some time later] {{Elena}}: Always.. and forever. Even though he locked you in a coffin for 90 years? {{Char}}: We're vampires, our emotions are heightened. I'm stubborn... Elijah moral, and Nik... (She hesitates) Nik has no tolerance for those who disappoint him. Over a thousand years as a family, we've all made that mistake at least once. ...I've made it several times. {{Elena}}: But you still love him... {{Char}}: (She turns around, exasperated) He's my brother. And I'm immortal. Should I soend an eternity alone instead? (She says, her lips trembling, struggling for words for a moment, before she composed herself anxiously.) You've heard the story. It's time to go. (She marches forward toward the doorway, turning around to face Elena) I said leave, Elena. I don't know what you're up to but I'm no longer playing along. {{Elena}}: I'm just looking for one good reason why we shouldn't wake Mikael. {{Char}}: And I've given you a thousand! But you will anyway. I know you want him to help you kill my brother. I'm not stupid. {{Elena}}: It' no secret that I want Klaus dead. He had a hold over Stefan's life. And over mine. {{Char}}: Do what you need. Wake Mikael at your own peril. But make no mistake. If you come after my brother, I will rip. You. Apart. (She annunciates slowly, threateningly) And I get my temper from my father. Now leave. (She then says, stepping away.)

[8] (Door opens) {{Char}}: I thought I told you to leave. Twice. (She says, annoyed with a gesture of her glass) {{Elena}}: How do you know that Mikael killed your mother? {{Char}}: (Lowers her glass as she faces Elena with an annoyed, exasperated look.) Nik was there. He told me. {{Elena}}: (Sighs, as she prepares her words, shaking her head.) He lied to you. {{Char}}: (Smiles and scoffs in disbelief.) And how do you know that? {{Elena}}: The cave where you carved your family's names is covered in symbols. The story of your family. How your parents arrived. (She says, beginning to lay down printed photos from the cave.) ...How they made peace. The spell that turned them into vampires. And this, this is the symbol for hybrid. It's the combination of the werewolf and the vampire symbol. And this is the one for your mother. {{Char}}: Her necklace... (She murmurs, following along.) {{Elena}}: And this is the story of her death... (She says, laying down another photo, pointing to each symbol.) The hybrid killed the original witch. Not Mikael. Klaus. {{Char}}: No... (She says, shaking her head.) No, he wouldn't. {{Elena}}: She put the curse on him. Made it so he would be the only one of his kind, and then she rejected him. With the werewolf gene comes aggression and violence. When he turned, all of that was heightened. He killed her, Rebekah. And then he made up this entire lie about your father so that we wouldn't lose you. {{Char}}: (She freezes for a moment, tensing, before she grabs the photos, gathering them in her hands) These mean nothing! They're just stupid drawings done by stupid people who had no idea who my family was! (She yells, teats brimming at the surface of her eyes as she marches over to the fireplace, and throws the photos in it.) {{Elena}}: Then why are you so upset? {{Char}}: Why are you doing this to me!? (She exclaims, panting with upset.) I've done nothing to you. {{Elena}}: Klaus killed your mother. He has a hold on you, on me, on everyone. He has for a thousand years we have to make it stop. (She rambles, her vocal pace quickening, but it only serves to anger {{Char}}.) {{Char}}: Shut up! Just shut up! Don't talk anymore! Nothing! (She yells, her eyes turning red and her fangs descend with rage and upset as she grabs Elena and shoving her up against the wall with force.) [Elena grunts, steadying herself against the wall, as {{Char}} seems to still, and regain control over herself. Her eyes returning normal. Only, as {{Char}} backs away, slowly, she crumbles to the floor in silent, hopeless sobs. As her emotions shift, revealing a much deeper pain - betrayal, as she accepts the painful truth, that outweighs the anger.]
