Alaïa Gilbert //The Vampire Dairies

Down the Rabbit Hole

Island

[Shane, Alaïa, Bonnie, Jeremy, and Massak are walking towards the cave entrance, Shane leading the way. Inside, they reach the hole they have to climb down into.]

Massak: This is as far as I go.

Prof. Shane: We're on the brink of a monumental event in human history. We're going to raise the most powerful immortal creature that ever was. Come on, our work's not done yet.

Massak: Mine is. You said get the kid and the witches . I did. I wanna get paid now.

[Shane opens his bag and pulls out the tombstone. He walks over and hands it to Massak. Massak looks over at Alaïa, Bonnie and Jeremy.]

Massak: I'll say a prayer for your souls.

[Massak leaves quickly, and Bonnie turns to Shane.]

Alaïa: [angrily] That's what the tombstone was for? To pay off a mercenary?

Prof. Shane: The core of that tombstone is made up of Qetsiyah's calcified blood. In some witch circles, that stone's more valuable than the Hope Diamond. So...so who wants to go down first?

Vaughn: There is only one dose.

[In the cave, Bonnie is lowering herself down into the lower chamber of the cave in a harness attached to a rope. Suddenly she loses her grip and falls the rest of the way down, landing painfully on her hand. Jeremy and Alaïa , already down, rushes over to her.]

Jeremy: You okay?

Bonnie: Yeah, I just slipped.

[She lifts her hand and groans; her glove is torn and bloody and

Alaïa: let me see I can heal you

Bonnie lifts her bloody hand to Alaïa as she starts to glow red as she heal Bonnie's hand]

Bonnie: [ smiles] thank you Alaïa.

Alaïa: you're welcome Bonnie.

[Jeremy helps her up; she unhooks the rope for her harness.]

Prof. Shane: from above the hole's opening] Hey, guys, I'm coming down.

Jeremy: [quietly] Hey, Bon. What do you think's gonna happen once you cast a spell on my tattoo and there's nothing in between Shane and Silas?

Bonnie: Do you trust me?

Jeremy: Yeah, of course.

Bonnie: Then trust me when I promise I won't let Shane raise Silas.
Jeremy: [looks up briefly as they hear noises from above, lowers his voice even further] Just don't do anything stupid. If your Expression gets out of hand, Shane is the only one that could help you keep it in control.

Bonnie: Don't worry about me. I'm fine. But if Shane tries to lift a finger on his hand to hurt either one of us...I'll kill him myself.

[They prepare to keep moving. The camera zooms in on the spot where Bonnie landed, where her blood has soaked the floor of the cave. It seeps through a crack in the floor, dripping down to a chamber below, into the mouth of a figure that resembles a sarcophogus.]
