Beautiful Creatures Page #7

even in our world. How could you know?

I know that no good

can come from us loving a mortal.

Lena, listen to me. There's gotta be a way,

another way to break the curse.

AMMA:

Macon!

- Don't even think that, young man!

- No!

You'll get the both of you killed.

You have to get out of her life.

Do you hear me?

Lena, say your goodbyes.

ETHAN".

Macon's keeping Lena at Ravenwood.

He won't let me see her.

He thinks keeping us apart

is the best thing for her.

But he's wrong. I know Lena.

I know her like I know myself.

And I can feel her slipping away

into some place where I can't reach her.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

WOMAN [ON TV]:

Go away, go away, go away, go away!

- Hi, dear.

ETHAN:
Oh.

- Hello, Mrs. Lincoln. Just a minute.

MRS. LINCOLN:
Hi, dear.

Oh, dear.

This door seems to be stuck.

It's just these old houses.

They're such a nuisance.

- Yes, ma'am.

- They warp.

- Link's not here.

- Oh, I know, I know.

He's at Savannah Snow's party,

which is where all the kids are.

I had to make quite a number

of phone calls...

...to get him an invitation

on account of his...

Well, on account of his friendship with you.

Oh, I'm sorry you had to go

to that trouble, ma'am.

Well, you should be at that party, Ethan...

...kicking up your heels with your real friends,

with the children who belong in this town.

I'm not much up for a party tonight, ma'am.

Oh, well, that's a shame.

Well, see, I-- I made you some brownies.

I thought maybe I could come in

and we could talk.

My fight's not with you, son.

It's not. Never has been.

It's just that girl

with her seductive quirkiness...

...and you being motherless and all.

May I come in?

No, ma'am. I-- I don't think so.

Did I hear you correctly just then, Ethan?

Do I have to ask you again? May I come in?

No, ma'am, you may not.

But I have made you brownies.

I've made you brownies from scratch.

Well, slap my ass and call me Sally!

[LAUGHS]

Lena bound your house. Oh, that's so sweet.

As if.

SARAFINE:

I'm on your side, son.

What's a little curse

when it comes to true love?

Anyone can see you and Lena

are just meant for each other...

...till death do you part.

[SARAFINE LAUGHS]

Lena?

MACON:

Get out of this house.

Lena.

MACON:

Keep her bound.

ETHAN:

Lena.

Lena, can we please just go outside

for one second and talk? I need--

MACON:
Get out!

- No!

Please, son, for your own good.

You should really listen to them.

No!

I'm sick of listening to your family.

I have been chased, spun, hypnotized...

...paralyzed, and damn near killed

by your family.

I've been going out of my mind

for the last two weeks.

Now your mother shows up on my doorstep

and damn near gives me a heart attack!

But you know what?

I don't care about them, about the curse.

You are not going Dark

and you are not losing me.

No matter what you do,

no matter what they do to me, I'm still here.

Now what does that tell you?

MACON:
How could the boy break our spell?

He has no power.

It's not we who protect her now, it's the boy.

Amma, we need your help.

Why come to me?

LENA:
The way you talked about the locket,

about the curse.

Excuse me, Miss Amma,

but I think you know more than you're saying.

Please, Amma.

This isn't the place you're gonna find

anything you need.

Meet me in the back.

ETHAN:

This must run under the whole town.

The whole country.

Gatlin is like the capital of Caster America.

It used to be under Washington, D.C.

until Nancy Reagan made them move.

She was the only mortal

they were ever scared of.

They know a Caster's here.

Amma, why didn't you tell us about this?

A Keeper has to be asked.

A Keeper, as in you're a...?

The Caster Library has been the responsibility

of Seers like me for generations.

Something I had no choice about either,

by the way.

And these books hold the histories

of the Casters from around the world...

...the laws that keep balance

between Light and Dark.

Hey! Get away from that.

Macon comes here every day and reads

every book he can for the Forbidden Spell.

- He found nothing?

AMMA:
Mm-mm.

But you can do it.

God gives us what we can handle,

even if we don't believe it ourselves.

Close your eyes.

See with your mind what you're looking for

as if you've already found it.

I knew it.

Book of Moons.

It's the most powerful book

of the Othervvorld.

It's as alive as you or me.

Strongest of every spells, good and bad.

- Did Macon look through it?

- No, he couldn't.

The Book chooses who reads it.

Its Law is "Like attracts Like."

There-- There's no writing.

It won't reveal itself so easy.

A curse this dark takes its time showing itself.

The Dark will test you.

Don't worry, you'll find it.

Just look under

"How Not to Turn Into Your Mother."

[LENA CHUCKLES]

Come on. Come on.

ETHAN:
I've been taking Lena

to the Caster Library for weeks now.

But Lena's getting discouraged.

The longer this thing takes,

the more I see a change in her.

We'll find a way, okay?

You're just a mortal, how would you know?

Hey, I can make wind.

Maybe not a hurricane--

- Why don't we just admit it?

- Admit what?

It's already started.

I'm turning into a Dark b*tch, I can feel it.

No, Lena, you're just stressed. It's not--

It doesn't matter what causes it.

I'm turning

and you're just too stupid to see it.

Okay, now you're a b*tch.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Really? Is this necessary?

I'm agreeing with you.

Okay, I'm just a dumb-ass mortal

who can't make his own thunder.

But I know there's no way

we're gonna figure this out...

...unless you stop feeling so sorry

for yourself all the time!

[SCREAMS]

Go ahead! Start an earthquake,

see where it gets you.

Everybody has to deal with sh*t

in their lives, Lena.

What are you yelling at me for'?

You want to be a normal human?

What do you think that is?

We don't have powers

to just change things whenever we like.

Being human is feeling bad,

it's feeling pissed off.

It's feeling scared

and not being able to do anything about it...

...until you don't feel that way anymore,

until you can see your way out of it.

And I yelled at you because I care about you!

That's what normal people do,

who love each other...

...when one of them is acting like a brat.

Now, would you please stop raining on me?

I'm sorry.

You've got to get away from me.

I don't know what I do, it just happens.

You still don't get it, do you?

I don't want to be any further away

from you than I am right now...

...one way or another.

I'm scared I'm gonna hurt you.

Well, love's a risk for anybody.

I mean, "kill you" hurt you.

Go ahead.

Kill me.

Oh! Ooh, ah.

What part of "You cannot touch it

if you are not a Caster" don't you understand?

There were Casters in the Civil War?

Casters have been fighting alongside mortals

for centuries, every war, every side.

Just because they're supernatural

don't make them any smarter.

You know, what I can't figure...

-...is you go to church every Sunday.
