Arabella

**Arabella** is an episode of

This is not to be confused with the actual character, Arabella.

## Plot

(Arabella points a finger at Halley in human form)

"Oh, you can't fool me with that disguise, you glowing alien bitch. I saw you before. I know that's just a mask." (beat pause) "What, feel ashamed of your real self? Gotta turn into something more weak so you feel comfortable hanging around us?"

Halley stayed quiet initially. Adam shot a look over at her, though she didn't return it.

"I've been living among humans for years. If I wanted to massacre, I would have started a long while ago."

"Have you been disguising yourself as a human the whole time, then, huh? Why's that? Are you worried that people would see you as the monster you are?"

Adam finally grew restless enough to speak up. "You should probably stop being so... xenophobic," Adam reasoned. His sister gave him a dirty look for his wordplay, though really it was just the only word that came to mind for him rather than a strange joke.

"Oh, but believe me, kid. My *xenophobia* is justified. Bastards like her are killing machines." Arabella shook her head away, as if to contemplate something at that moment. "I saw one just like her kill my parents. Took them away before they could even protest."

That was enough to shut Adam up. Talia, on the other hand, shared a look with Crowley, and took one step forward.

"No, no. That's putting it too lightly. An alien took my fucking LIFE away. Not just my parents, but my home. My lifestyle. Everything I'd ever come to know and love. All I have left are my skills, and I-"

Talia took another step forward, her foot pounding the floor. Arabella went silent. Talia's raging reply took the spotlight.

"And what? You think that makes you fucking special?

"Crowley and I *BOTH* had our families fucking stolen from us, too, in two separate encounters. Hell, Adam and Rosie probably don't even know if they've got a family to return to. And, if there's three of us here in this room, then there's probably tons more like us elsewhere. You're not fucking special or unique with your loss. Not with your anger, either. You're just a little brat who can't move on. Each one of us here lost most of our lives, and that includes Halley. We're all coping with it, and moving forward, and you're just slinging insults and trying to annoy the ever-loving shit out of people who don't even care you exist."

Before she left the room, Talia paused in the doorway. She turned to face Adam and Rosemary in their stunned silence. "Sorry."

With that, she left. It didn't take Rosemary long to follow her.

(Rose and Talia talk. Rose suggests maybe Arabella just needs an outlet for her rage, like an opportunity for revenge, since that's what Talia and Crowley both got.)

(Teresa has a 1 on 1 confrontation with the conman where she argues with him about keeping Arabella alive. he gives in, though he tells them that they WILL HAVE TO kill the other five of his targets, no questions asked, or he'll make them into targets as well)

"You humans really will rebel against anything, huh?"
