THE BAYOU

The next day, Christy is with Keelin, looking at a house.

{Christy's Outfit}

"Nice house. This is for the Crescent Wolves." Keelin said.

"Yeah, I know, it's not much. And there's a few Crescent Wolves." Christy said.

"Thanks, Christy. You didn't have to do this, but thanks." Keelin said.

"You're welcome." Christy said. "By the way, I'm sending a buddy of mine, Caicos, he has the materials to make the house."

"Okay, and thanks again, Christy. You're a good best friend." Keelin said.

"You're welcome." Christy said.

Keelin and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. And Christy disappears into golden dust.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

In the courtyard, Luna, Trinity and Nikole are drawing on a piece of art construction paper with a box of crayons and oil pastels.

"Hey, guys." Christy greeted Luna, Trinity and Nikole.

"Hey, Mom." Trinity greeted her mother.

"Hi, Mrs. Christy." Nikole said.

Christy crouches down in front of Luna, Trinity, and Nikole. "What are you guys up to? Drawing?"

"Yeah." Luna replied. "Nikole talked Trinity and I into it. She said it's a gift for her Uncle Mathias and Auntie Freya."

"I'm sure Mathias and Freya will love it." Christy replied. "And speaking of, where is Mathias and Freya?"

"They're both at the Lafayette Cemetery. Vincent and Ivy wanted to talk to them about some witchy stuff." Trinity said.

"Dad's in the dining room by the way, Mom." Luna said.

"Okay." Christy said, and gets up to her feet. "You guys have some fun with your drawings."

And Christy walks away.

Christy slowly walks into the dining room where Klaus is sitting at the table, drinking small glass of bourbon.

"Hey, Klaus." Christy said.

"Hello, Love." Klaus said. "Where were you?" He asked her.

"In the Bayou." Christy replied, sitting at the table, and picks a cream cheese beignet, and takes a bite out of it. "How are you?"

"If you're asking me about the puncture bite wound on my inner forearm, I'm fine." Klaus replied, taking a swig of his bourbon. "And I rather not tell Luna and Trinity, I don't want them to worry."

"Yeah, I know." Christy said, eating the rest of her cream cheese beignet, and gets up to her feet. "I'm gonna go out."

"Alright." Klaus said.

Christy plants a kiss on Klaus's cheek and walks away.

Christy is taking a stroll in the French Quarter. And she senses Thalia stealthy following her.

Christy stopped walking and turns around to look at Thalia. "You really shouldn't stealthy sneak up on me."

"I know. But still." Thalia said, and blows some powder in Christy's face, knocking her out and Christy faints into her arms.

And Thalia disappears into red dust.

THALIA'S MOUNTAIN MONASTERY

That afternoon, Christy slowly regains her conscious and finds herself laying on a curved sofa in the main room.

Her eyesight is blurry as she tries to focus on the person. Her eyesight slowly clears up and she sees Zenith.

"Zenith?" Christy said. "What are you doing here at Thalia's monastery?"

"I live here now." Zenith said, and glances at his Raven. "And other than Thalia, my Ravens keeps me company."

"What do you want?" Christy asked.

"Why do you assume that I want something, Christiana?" Zenith asked.

"Because I know you." Christy told him, slowly getting up to her feet, but loses her balance and sits back down on the sofa.

"Sorry about the sleeping powder." Thalia said, slowly walks inside the main room. "My father, Marcalos, told me that he tortured you with his herbs. And his herbs brought out the darkness within you." And slowly walks up to Christy, and grabs her by her hair. "So, how about I get a sneak peek of your darkness."

Christy looks at Thalia, and head-butts her in her forehead, causing Thalia to stumble backwards a little.

"You have no idea what I'm capable of, Thalia." Christy said to her. "So, you and Zenith better me and leave me alone."

"I have a better idea." Zenith said, walking up to Christy, choking her, lifting her up off the sofa, and disappears into purple dust.

MOUNT ORASANI

In the main room, everyone is lounging around, drinking and eating. Suddenly, Zenith and Christy shows up, and he slings her away, she hits the wall and lands on the floor.

"Christy?" Nadia said to her daughter.

Christy slowly gets up to her feet, angrily glaring at Zenith, transforming into her Fawkes-Phoenix battle armor with her red and gold wings slowly spreads out.

Zenith transforms into his Raven; and he flies towards her, flying them both out of the main room and punching each other.

Zenith the Raven pins Christy the Fawkes-Phoenix against a pillar, sliding her up against it and flies away with her, and drops her onto the outdoor pillar patio floor.

Zenith and Christy both transforms back into their normal selves.

Zenith gets up to his feet and slowly walks up to her, gently straddles her.

" 'Zieg eifusb eofjr cristiana.' " ("You forget one thing, Christiana." ) "I'm stronger." Zenith told her.

" 'Jekdh wkdjrhb sems Zenith.' " ("You may be, but I'm stronger, Zenith."

Suddenly, Zenith is whacked in a head with a cupboard by Celia. He falls on the patio floor beside Christy.

Christy looks up at her grandmother, Celia and slowly gets up to her feet.

"Grandma." Christy said.

"I've already lost your grandfather, Dimitris, I will not lose you too." Celia said to her.

Celia and Christy exchange worried looks at each other. Zenith disappears into purple dust. And Celia and Christy exchange another worried looks at each other.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, Celia and Christy slowly walks back inside the main room.

Klaus, Luna and Trinity are sitting on the curved sofa.

"Mom?" Trinity said, getting up and running up to her.

"Trinity?" Christy said.

Trinity wraps her arms around Christy's waist, hugging her. Christy hugs her back.

Luna scurries up to her and hugs Christy. She hugs her back.

"What are you guys doing here?" Christy asked, gently pulls away from the hugs.

"Ames summoned us here to Mount Orasani and told us." Klaus said.

"I was coming back home, but Thalia encountered me and brought me to her mountain monastery. And Zenith brought me here to Mount Orasani and we fought each other." Christy blabbed to Klaus.

But Klaus gently puts his hands on Christy's shoulders. "Christy, I'm just glad you're okay."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other and they hugs each other.

"Im sorry that I ruined family time." Christy said, gently pulls away from the hug. "I'll make it up to you guys."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles. Trinity gently hugs her by her waist.

Klaus, Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small smiles at each other.

"The evening's still young, so, we can still have our family time together." Klaus said.

"Dates fruits and pancakes." Luna said.

Christy small smiles to herself.

And Max slowly walks up to them. "Hi, guys."

"Hi, Maximus." Luna greeted him.

"You okay, Christy?" Maximus asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Christy reassured him. "But I think that Zenith and Thalia are scheming together. And she's the one that released Zenith from his gloomy realm."

"Yeah, I think so too." Maximus replied.

"As do I as well." Ames said, slowly walks up to them. "Christy, you need to go home, be with your husband and daughters."

"Dad?" Christy said.

Ames small smiles. "It is not your place to protect Mount Orasani, my daughter. It is the Elder Gods and Goddess."

"I agree with your father." Nadia said, slowly walks up beside her husband. "As I said to you, you've been released from Mount Orasani's burden. Now, go and be a mother and wife."

Klaus, Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small smiles at each other and the four of them disappears into Christy's golden dust.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That night, in the courtyard, Klaus, Christy, Luna and Trinity are sitting at the table with their plates of blueberry pancakes and dates fruits eating with forks.

Christy glances at Klaus, and takes the whipped cream bottle and puts a smiley face on his pancakes.

Christy, Luna and Trinity playfully chuckles and so does Klaus, enjoying themselves.

From the second floor railing, Ames and Nadia are looking at Klaus, Christy, Luna and Trinity small smiles.
