CHASING THE DEVIL'S TAIL

MARCEL'S LOFT

Hayley throws Aiden in through the door, he lands harshly on his ass as she steps over him, her golden amber eyes are glowing along with baring her fangs.

Marcel: Where's your Alpha?

Hayley: Don't give a shit.

Marcel: Woah, what's up your ass?

Hayley: I can't get in touch with Dove. I think Finn took her. So today, we're taking his ass down. Got a problem with that?

Marcel: Hell no. Let's take the son of a bitch down.

Hayley and Aiden sit across from him on the couch

Aiden: Well... [He clears his throat] It's not gonna be easy. He's surrounded by a pack of juiced-up wolves. He doesn't have a weakness.

Marcel: He does, actually!

He pulls his phone out of his pocket

Marcel: And, I have her on speed dial! [Aiden and Hayley look at him in confusion] He's got a thing for Cami.

Hayley: Klaus will go ballistic if we get Cami involved in this.

Marcel: Klaus ain't here! And Cami? Well, she's got this thing about people telling her what she can and can't do!

He dials Cami's number and holds the phone up to his ear before addressing Hayley again

Marcel: I trust you, of all people, understand.

Hayley: Yeah, don't I know it.

GRAVEYARD

Lenore/Esther is in the greenhouse of the Lycée, where she has put the same Runic symbol and a triskelion in salt on the table to do her spell. Vincent/Finn watches her work from across the room

Finn: Well, you always did know how to leave a message, Mother.

Esther: [smirks] If only all my sons were as respectful as you are. Kol will return home soon, Elijah will wake from his slumber believing the only way to salvage his humanity is to rejoin our family.

Finn nods his head

Esther: Do you have the soulmate?

Finn: I have her locked up like you asked, Mother. She will be the perfect bait.

ST ANNE'S

Dove has tears in her eyes as her arms are raised up, chains tied around her wrists. Her head is hanging low, tears steaming down her face

Finn is pacing back and forth in front of her, a smug evil smirk across his face

Until he turns and walks away, leaving the church leaving a sobbing Dove still hanging by her wrists.

He catches up with Aiden, who is waiting for him in the alley near the church]

Aiden: I staked it out. It looks like a couple of Oliver's friends wanting to avenge his death.

Finn: Where's Cami?

Aiden: She's, uh, she's tied up near the altar. Hey, you bee-line for her, I'll handle the rest of them, alright?

Finn: I know you are lying because I have the soulmate tied up near the alter, Aiden. You know the punishment for lying.

He telekinetically throws him through the front doors of St. Anne's. Aiden slides down the aisle, slamming into a pew and knocking himself out. Josh vamp-speeds toward Aiden to make sure he's okay, not noticing right away that Finn is storming down the aisle after him.

Josh freezes in fear as Finn spreads his arms wide, lighting all of the candles and turning on all of the lights of the church. Josh stands in a defensive position, but Finn easily snaps his neck with a flick of his wrist before continuing to walk down the aisle]

Finn: Camille! CAMILLE!

[Hayley appears out of nowhere behind Finn and tackles him to the ground. She raises her head up, her eyes widens in shock seeing Dove chained up

Hayley: I'm gonna kick your ass for touching my girl. Then I'm going to take back my pack.

Finn: [laughs weakly] Your pack? Last I checked, your pack was blindly following me.

Hayley: You wanna talk about following? How do your mother's boots taste?

She kicks Finn in the face, splitting his lip, but he continues to laugh]

Finn: What have you done with Cami?

Hayley laughs and shrugs, so Finn telekinetically throws her down the aisle while he gets to his feet

Finn: Hybrids die by losing their head or their heart. And, given the choice, I'm going to take the organ that got you into this mess in the first place.

He begins to cast a spell as he makes a fist with his hand and thrusts it out toward Hayley as he walks toward her

Finn: [chants] Le specto tre colo ves bestia! Le specto tre colo ves bestia!

Dove: NOOOOOO!!!

Finn: I'll right with you in a second, girl.

Hayley clutches her chest as she starts to spit up blood. The front of her shirt has a bloody stain on the front of it where he's starting to rip out her heart. Out of nowhere, an arrow pierces Finn through his shoulder from behind, and he screams out in pain. He turns to see Jackson, with Ansel's bow and quiver of arrows in hand, jumping down from the balcony. He shoots another arrow into Finn's thigh, causing Finn to crawl up to the sacristy to get away from them. Before Finn can react further, Cami appears and slams the manacles onto his wrists. He gapes at her, clearly feeling betrayed by her role in this plan. He tries to fight against her with magic, but the manacles are blocking him

Cami: You would have done the same thing to me, Finn.

[Finn stares at his hands and starts to process what just happened. Hayley stands up and runs down the aisle and begins untying Dove's wrists.

She catches her as she falls.

Hayley: Are you okay?

She brushes her hair out of her face, tucking it behind her ears

Dove: Your timing was pretty awesome, actually.

Hayley chuckles as she pulls her into her chest, Dove nuzzles into her chest as Hayley kisses her on top of the head.

LATER

Dove is lightening candles at the alter when Hayley walks up to her

Hayley: We put Vincent in the back of Josh's car.

Dove: Is Aiden alright?

Hayley: Mmm, some ice and bourbon and he'll be fine. Are you sure you're okay?

Dove: I'm okay. I knew you'd come and save me.

Hayley: Dove......

She reaches into her jacket pocket pulling a black box out and slowly gets down to one knee. Dove gasps as her hands flies up covering her mouth

Hayley opens the box revealing a diamond engagement ring inside.

Hayley: I wanted to be the first to ask you this question. Dove Taylor, I love you more then anything. I've been head over heels completely in love with you since the first time I saw you

Dove smiles with happy tears steaming down her face

Hayley: Will you marry me?

Dove chuckles; nodding her head rapidly and smiles happily. Hayley smiles, grabbing her hand and slides the ring on her finger.

She stands up and Dove wraps her arms around her neck, pressing their lips together. They kiss each other passionately as Dove tangles her hands up in Hayley's hair.

Dove: I love you

Hayley: I love you more, Sugar.

Dove: You're not the girl I've been waiting for. You're better.

Hayley smiles down at her; Dove smiles back. Hayley kisses her softly on the forehead.
