Beautiful Creatures Page #9

...Lena Duchannes...

...her true nature will reveal

the true nature of all power...

...for the new cycle.

[HUMMING]

Hey, halt!

Or shoot me. I'm so goddamn itchy,

I swear, I'd just rather be a casualty.

This is so stupid. I wish I was, ugh...

You want to just kill each other?

- Come over, watch a movie?

- Aliens? Blu-ray?

All right. On the count of three.

Ready.

- One.

- One.

- Two.

- Two.

Three.

[GRUNTS]

What's wrong?

I don't know.

[GUNFIRE]

Ethan? Ethan.

Ethan.

- Lena.

- No.

Cease fire!

Ethan!

- Where is Ethan?

- Greenbrier! Get the hell out of here, girl!

LENA:

Ethan!

No! Ethan, no, no! No.

- No!

- Lena, I didn't-- Lena, I swear.

No, don't! Don't!

LINK:

Sorry. I'm sorry.

RIDLEY:

You can't trust them, coz.

They'll turn on each other

for no reason at all.

Lena, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

Okay?

[GRUNTS]

Welcome to the family,

my darling, special girl.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Storm's coming, Mr. Lee. Should we stop?

[CHATTERING]

[ALL YELL]

[SCREAMING]

MACON:

Lena, stop.

Macon?

MACON:

Stop this, please.

Macon. Macon, what have you done?

The curse had to be paid.

I don't understand.

Somebody you love has to die.

That was a sneaky trick, Macon. No fair.

Macon?

I promised his mother.

I can't lose you.

-It's all right, it's all right, Lena.

- No.

Don't let them fool you.

Claim...

...yourself.

[CRYING]

LENA:

No.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Uh-oh.

What are you doing?

I think this is just between

you and me, Mama.

Fine with me.

Ridley, don't be afraid. She's on our side.

She's our Lena. You listen to me.

You're my daughter. I always wanted you

with me. They took you from me.

The moon appears, and it will claim you

as you are destined to be claimed.

Accept it, sweetheart.

There's nothing you can do.

[CHUCKLES]

No one can do that.

Let me go! She's more powerful than you.

Lena. Lena, listen to me.

It was her idea.

She told me you were going Dark anyway.

I would never hurt you.

You remember when I left,

so I wouldn't hurt you?

Lena?

Go.

Thanks, coz.

[CHUCKLES]

You know, you're a lot more like me

than you care to admit.

Well, nobody's perfect.

Lena, you have great powers.

I can teach you how to use them.

I can teach you how to become

the most powerful Dark Caster who ever lived.

Oh, that's so sweet of you, Mama.

Oh, baby. This mortal you think you love?

You can never be together.

I know.

Did you ever love me, Mama?

[CHUCKLES]

You know, I don't remember.

No mother does, really.

It's not easy, you know,

pushing another female out of your body...

...a younger, more perfect version of yourself,

with every option and no mistakes, heh.

Anyhow, love is a trick of the mind,

you know?

It doesn't really exist.

There's no such thing in nature.

Love's a spell, created by mortals...

...to give their females something to play with

instead of power.

I want you to have power.

I want you to be who you truly are.

As long as I'm just like you.

There's Darkness in you.

Don't you try and deny it.

I don't.

Well, then claim it. Claim it

and come with me, be with me.

We can rule over a new world, our world.

[GRUNTS]

[GASPING]

What are you doing?

It is a new world, Mama.

But it ain't all Dark, and it ain't all Light.

And it ain't all ours.

I remember now. I remember now,

I did love you.

I do love you. I love you, darling. I love you!

You really shouldn't use words

you don't understand.

You still need me!

You've done enough, Mama.

You must be Claimed!

[SCREAMING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Macon?

You all right, coz?

Yeah.

Macon said this was the only way

to protect you both.

[LENA SOBBING]

LENA:
I could hear the sound.

The sound was me breaking.

I cried because he had lived.

Because he had died.

I was shattered, I was saved.

I only knew the girl I was, was gone.

He was right. No good can come

from loving a mortal.

They can't survive our world.

Get out. Go, Ethan.

Claim yourself in defiance...

...in hope, in love, in fury, in gratitude.

Claim the Light. Claim the Dark.

Claim it all.

Nothing can stay.

- You all set?

ETHAN:
Yeah.

Should be in New York

by Thursday if we make good time.

We're gonna go stay

with Link's cousin in Brooklyn.

AMMA:

Come here.

ETHAN:

I'll call you as soon as I get in.

You call whenever you can.

Bye.

Hi, um...

- Lena, right?

- Hi, yeah.

- Ethan Wate.

- Yeah, I know.

Oh. Heh, um...

So I wanted, I-- You know...

Um...

I'm sorry that we never got to hang,

but I always wanted to tell you...

...I thought your, uh, poems

in Creative Writing...

...just really good.

Thanks. That's really nice of you to say.

- You're leaving?

- Yeah, uh...

College road trip, heh.

I'm going to check out NYU.

Great. It's good.

Oh, cool title.

Bukowski?

He any good?

Define "good."

[CHUCKLING]

Keep it. A "Getting Outta Gatlin" present.

Really?

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Cool. Thank you.

All right. See you.

See you.

Ethan's coming. All right, bye.

- Hey, is it all right...

- Ah.

...If we go see my mom at the sanatorium?

It's on the way.

Sure.

[ENGINE STARTS]

ETHAN:
"There is a place

in the heart that will never be filled.

A space.

We will know it more than ever.

There is a place in the heart

that will never be filled...

...and we will wait and wait in that space."

Lena!
