MYSTIC FALLS HIGH

Rebekah and Zara are with the rest of cheerleaders when Elena walks up to them

Rebekah: You! Goody

Zara: What's up, my love?

Elena: I was hoping we could talk.

Rebekah: 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 holds up a photo of Rebekah, Zara, and Elliot's name written in Runic on the cave wall.

Elena: I'm curious why you and Klaus have spent a thousand years running from your father.

Zara: We need to get back to the girls. Homecoming's right around the corner.

Elena: Well then, maybe I'll ask Mikael when we wake him.

Rebekah:  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?

Zara: If you wake Mikael, we are all doomed!

Elena: So then, tell me, Z

Zara: Why do you want to know?

Elena: Why don't you want me to wake him?

Rebekah: We need to get back to the girls.

Rebekah and Zara turns and walks back towards the squad, shaken by what they heard

SALVATORE HOUSE

Zara unfolds the towel around her body letting it hit the floor and grabs a pair of pink lace panties sliding them up and pulls a shirt down her body heading out of the room.

Rebekah: [cheerfully] Hey! What's up?

Elena: You invited me over? To talk?

Rebekah: All right girls, have at it!

Six girls in various jewel-toned colored homecoming dresses walk in the room.

Rebekah: Okay, now twirl please.

They twirl and show off the dresses.

Elena: You compelled your own private runway show?

Rebekah: We need a Homecoming dress. So, what do you think? Pick one.

Elena: I'm not here to help you shop. I'm here to talk about why you don't want me to wake up Mikael.

Zara walks down the stairs in only the shirt and panties.

Zara: She said pick one, darling.

Elena: The.......the......the red one and green one for you.

She slowly trails her eyes up Zara's legs, shallowing a gulp, biting down on her lower lip.

Zara: Wonderful choice. I like the green one as well.

Rebekah: Go away. Remember nothing.

The girls leave and she picks up her champagne glass and walks to Elena.

Rebekah: You do not threaten me. You'll learn what I allow you to learn. Is that clear?

Elena nods. Rebekah walks past her and Elena turns and watches her.

Zara walks up to her, sliding her hands slowly up her chest looking up at her giving her a adorable smile making Elena weak in the knees.

BEDROOM

Elena and Zara walks into the bedroom

Elena: You don't have to tell me anything if you want to, baby.

Zara: I hate my father. He put Elliot and Nik through hell, beat them without mercy. He hunted us for 1000 years. I'm mad at you people for raising but I understand why you did it. I need you to be ready for when he comes.

Elena: Elijah said that your father was a landowner in Europe. How did you guys end up here?

Zara: My parents had just started a family, when a plague struck their homeland. They lost a child to it. They wanted to escape and protect their future family from the same fate.

Elena: So, how did you end up here? This part of the world hadn't even been discovered yet.

Zara: [laughs] Not by anyone in your history books. But my mother knew the witch Ayana, who heard from the spirits of a mystical land where everyone was healthy...blessed by the gifts of speed and strength. That lead my family here, where we lived amongst those people.

Elena: The werewolves?

Zara: To us, they were just our neighbors. My family lived in peace with them for over 20 years, during which time my family had more children, including me.

Elena: You make it sound so normal.

Zara: It was. Once a month our family retreated into 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

Elena: I'm sorry

Zara: And one of the last moments my family had together as humans.

She yawns fakely stretching her arms over her head giving Elena a clear view of her panties. Elena's face heats up, licking her lips

Zara smirks, swaying her hips walking closer towards her, placing her hand on the back of her neck and pulls her in and kisses her.

Elena cups her face kissing her passionately. Zara moans into the kiss, pulling away and raises her shirt over her head throwing it across the room

Zara: Enough talking. Let's have some fun

Elena: Don't have to tell me twice.

She grabs the helm of her own shirt and lifts it over her head then unclasps her white bra. She pushes Zara back on the bed and undoes her jeans sliding them down her legs and kicks them off.

The brunette leans down latching her lips around Zara's breasts, swirling her tongue around the nipple which makes Zara bite her lower lip.

Zara: Fuck!

Elena grabs the helm of her panties and slowly slides them down her legs throwing them across the room and flicks her tongue against her clit.

Elena: So wet for me, baby. I like you being wet for me.

She slides a finger inside and pumps it in and out. Zara arches her back and moans, throwing her head back resting it on the pillow.

Elena rubs her clit, circling her thumb around before gently sucking the clit. Zara screams as her juices squirts out.

Elena: Mmmm-mmm-mmm.

She grabs the blonde's head pulling her up and shoves her finger into her mouth, Zara sucks on it.

Elena: There you go, sweet girl. Who do you belong?

Zara: You

Elena: I'm sorry. What was that? Mommy didn't hear you?

Zara: I belong to you and only you, my love

Elena: Good girl

She pushes her back down and climbs up over her lowering herself down over her face. Zara pulls her closer, grabbing her ass and swipes her tongue over her core, swirling her tongue around.

Elena moans loudly

Elena: There you go! Just like that!

She bucks her hips over Zara's face, moaning happily. She rolls her eyes to the back of her head and comes undone

Elena: Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! FUCK!!!

She falls down off her

Elena: Wonderful

Zara: Yes.

Elena cups her chin and leans in kissing her softly and passionately. Zara smiles moving her lips against hers.

Zara: I love you

Elena: I love you too, sweet girl.

Zara lays her head on Elena's chest while the brunette wraps her arm around her pulling her closer, running her fingers through her hair

Elena: Do you want to tell me the rest of the story?

Zara: The necklace wasn't Stefan's to give. It belonged to the Original Witch.

Elena: The one who put the hybrid curse on Klaus?

Zara: Not just the hybrid curse. She's the one who turned us into vampires.

Elena: So, vampirism was a form of protection?

Zara: What else would it be?

Elena: A curse?

Zara: 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?

Zara: Pride...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. My mother was also a witch

Elena: What?

Zara: The witch of the Original Family. The Original Witch?

She raises her head up and puckers her lips, Elena hooks her finger under her chin leaning down pressing her lips softly to hers.

Elena But if your mother was a witch, then...

Zara: Am I? No, a witch is nature's servant; a vampire is an abomination of nature. You can either be one or the other, never both. My mother did this for us. She did not turn.

Elena: How did you turn?

Zara: She called upon the sun for life, and the ancient white oak tree, one of nature's eternal objects, for immortality. That night, my father offered us wine laced with blood. And then he drove his sword through our hearts.

Elena: He killed you?

Zara: And he wasn't delicate about it either.

FLASHBACK

Zara and Elliot wakes up on the floor with blood on their clothes.

Elliot: Zara......

Zara: Blood! What happened?

She touches her nightgown where she had been stabbed.

Elliot: You will be alright! We will all be alright.

Mikael enters with a girl.

Elliot: What are you doing?

Mikael: We must finish what we started, boy!

He pushes the village girl onto her knees in front of them

Mikael: You have to drink if you want to live.

He cuts the girl's wrist open.

Mikael: Drink! Drink!

Elliot tries to stop him, but Mikael pushes him aside; Zara starts to drink the girl's blood

Mikael: Drink!!!

She drinks deeply, and dark veins appear around her eyes.

PRESENT

Elena is now on top of Zara as their lips moves together locked in a passionate fiery kiss. Zara digs her nails into Elena's back, tracing her hands over her bare back.

Zara: 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.

Elena kisses down to her jawline to her neck.

Elena: Mmm?

Zara: 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...

Elena: Why did Mikael start hunting Klaus?

Zara: When Nik made his first human kill, it triggered his werewolf gene. With that, he became my father's greatest shame.

Elena: Yeah. You told me this part of the story. Your mother had had an affair with one of the werewolf villagers. Klaus wasn't his son.

Zara: 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. I know Nik killed my mother, darling.

Elena: You knew?

Zara: I've always known.

Elena: Always and Forever. He kept you locked in a coffin, Angel

Zara: We're vampires. Our emotions are heightened. Me and Rebekah are stubborn, Elijah moral, Elliot's protective and easily angered, and Nik...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?

Zara: He's my brother. And I'm immortal. Should I spend an eternity alone instead with you, my love? You've heard the story, it's time to go. I said leave, Elena! I don't know what you're up to, but I'm no longer playing along.

Elena: No, baby. It's no secret I hate Klaus. He has a hold over my life but I love you more, Angel.

Zara looks up at her with a loving look in her eyes, Elena leans down kissing her on the forehead

Zara: I love you

Elena: I love you more, sweet girl.
