ROUSSEAU'S

The Next Morning, Christy is sitting at the bar counter, drinking wine while flicking peanuts at the drinking bottles.

[Christy's Outfit]

Christy's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Luna

Christy answers her phone. "Hi, sweetie."

"Hi, Mom. Are you and Dad okay?" Luna asked her on the phone.

"Yeah. Your Dad and I are okay." Christy said to daughter, trying to reassuring her.

But Luna isn't quite convinced. "Mom? You made a mess in the study and Dad has your wedding ring on his right hand thumb. Are you and Dad broken up?"

"Yeah. But your Dad and I are gonna work things out together." Christy said to her. "Where's your little sister?" She asked.

"Trinity and I are with Uncle Mathias and Auntie Freya at St. Louis Cathedral snacking on yogurt parfaits. And auntie Freya has a small baby bump." Luna said on the phone.

"Yeah. The little baby's growing." Christy said. "Luna, I gotta go."

"Okay, and Mom, I hope you and Dad work things out and get back together." Luna said on the phone, worriedly.

"Yeah. Me too, sweetie." Christy said, and hangs up her phone.

Christy's phone buzzes again and she looks at it. Klaus

And She answers her phone. "What do you want, Niklaus?"

"You say my full name "Niklaus" whenever you angry with me, Little Enchantress. Meet me at St. James Infirmary. Please?" Klaus asked on the phone.

"Sure. I'm on my way." Christy said, hanging up her phone, glancing at a silver revolver handgun in her green crotchet tote bag, getting up and walking away.

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY

Christy slowly walks inside, looking around for her husband. "Klaus?"

Klaus slowly walks inside and looks at his wife. "Christy?"

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Why did you asks me to come here to St. James Infirmary?" Christy asked her husband, gently setting down her green crotchet tote bag on a table.

"I miss you." Klaus tells her. "I know I've hurt you. Come home. Whatever anger that has consumed you, we'll get through this together."

"That almost sounded like an apology. But did you really think it would be that easy?" Christy asked with a straight face, pulling out a silver revolver handgun from her green crotchet tote bag. "I can assume that you know what's in this revolver handgun."

"White oak bullets." Klaus said.

"Do you really think that I can forgive you?" Christy said.

"This is Marcalos's mischievous scheme, Christy. And I cannot lose you again." Klaus said.

Christy looks at her husband, Klaus, seemingly lowering her revolver handgun. And he gently squeezes her hand.

"I am so sorry." Klaus said. "Please, forgive me."

Christy looks at Klaus, and suddenly, Klaus blows some powder in her face, causing her to faint in his arms.

Klaus and Elijah exchange worried looks at each other.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That night in Klaus's bedroom, Christy slowly regains her conscious and finds herself laid on the sofa. She slowly sits up straight on the sofa and looks at Klaus.

"Klaus?" Christy said, getting up to her feet and lunges at him, but a boundary spell halts her. "Wow. A boundary spell? I can just magically penetrate it."

"Not really." Klaus said.

Christy looks at a pair of gold cuffs on her wrist. She looks at Klaus. "How do you get this?"

"It's a replica. You can say that I took a pair from my last visit to Mount Orasae." Klaus said.

"Let me out right now." Christy tells her husband, annoyed, with her eyes glow red in anger.

"I'm sorry, Love, but I can't." Klaus said.

"I should've left you in Marcalos's lair." Christy tells him with her eyes still glow red. "Or perhaps, you can go back to your redheaded ex-girlfriend, Aurora."

"Aurora means nothing to me." Klaus tells Christy.

"Could've fooled me with your drunken romantic hookup with each other." Christy said, cheekily.

"I'm not giving up on you, Christiana. Not will give up on our marriage." Klaus said to her. "You may be so angry with me, but I will not lose the mother of our children."

"You don't know me, you think you do, but you don't. There's a darkness in everyone, Niklaus. And mine has re-emerged." Christy said to him.

"I won't let it." Klaus said.

"You can barely suppress your own darkness. Maybe, you should be the one left alone in the darkness." Christy said.

"This is not you, Christy. You're a good person." Klaus said.

"He was right, wasn't he? Marcalos? He did this to turn me against you, to rob me of the one thing that you never had? Compassion. My humanity. Unconditional love. And me, like this, my darkness is too much for you to handle and it irks you, doesn't it? You spent a thousand years getting people to be frightened of you, but really, it's you that's frightened, Klaus. You're a scared little brat, convinced, that you will be left alone. Always and Forever." Christy said to him with a straight face.

Klaus looks at Christy, trying not to let what she said hurt him.

"Niklaus?" Elijah said in the doorway of his bedroom. "We need to speak."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other. And he walks away. And she sits back down on the sofa.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

In the ballroom, Klaus, Elijah and Nadia, who descended from Mount Orasae, are discussing how to save Christy from the dark spell that's consuming her.

"There has to be a way to save my wife from Marcalos's dark spell." Klaus said.

"What of the Sacred Water?" Elijah asked.

"It will undo the dark spell on Christy." Nadia said.

"Or perhaps, there's another way." Klaus said, having come up with another plan.

"What is it that you propose, Niklaus?" Elijah asked.

"I was under the influence of Marcalos's dark magic. And I have much more blood on my hands than Christy's." Klaus said.

"Klaus?" Nadia said.

"I once made a promise to protect my wife and children." Klaus said, getting up to his feet. "But if trading my madness soul to save the woman I love, then, I'll do it."

"Klaus, I can't asks you to do that." Nadia said to her son-in-law. "Marcalos is the king of the underworld."

"But I'm a monster, capable of doing monstrous things. I have destroyed people and I have blood on my hands. Christy does not. She sacrificed herself for me and her family." Klaus said.

"Klaus?" Nadia said, slowly walks up to him. "Your daughters needs you."

"Perhaps, there is another option." Elijah said.

Klaus and Nadia looks at Elijah.

"Elijah?" Klaus said, giving him a knowing look.

"Nadia's right, Niklaus. Luna and Trinity needs both their father and mother." Elijah said.

"Where's Christy?" Nadia asked.

"In a boundary spell in my bedroom, she can't do her magic she has the gold cuffs." Klaus said.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

In Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy is sitting on the sofa, still wearing the gold cuffs.

Hayley slowly walks inside and sits down on the bed. "Christy?"

"A babysitter?" Christy said.

"I'm worried about you, Christy." Hayley said to her best friend.

Christy looks at Hayley, and decides to tease her a little bit. "How's Elijah? Oh, right. He and Gia are back together and you have no one, but the Crescent Wolves."

Hayley and Christy exchange mildly looks at each other. And Christy slowly walks up to the boundary spell.

"You never loved Jackson. He was just a romantic distraction for you after Elijah started dating my best friend, Gia, but now, that Jackson's dead, you can vie for Elijah's affections again." Christy said.

"I loved Jackson." Hayley said, slowly walked up to the boundary spell.

"Admit it, Hayley, you're still in love with Elijah, and now, that Jackson's deceased, you're happy. But I bet, you're waiting for Elijah and Gia to breakup so, you can swoon on in and bed him yourself." Christy said with a teasing grin.

"I'm happy for Elijah and Gia." Hayley said.

"Are you?" Christy asked. "Because you lost the man that you truly loved to another woman. Jackson Kenner was nothing to you but a romantic replacement for Elijah. But at least, Elijah has moved on to Gia and he's blossoming without you."

Hayley and Christy exchange looks at each other. Christy slings a lamp at Hayley's head, knocking her out onto the floor, unconscious.

Christy takes off the gold cuffs and drops them on the floor, and magically disappears into golden dust.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

Klaus and Elijah walks inside Klaus's bedroom and sees Hayley laying on the floor, knocked out, unconscious.

"Hayley?" Elijah said, kneeling down beside her.

Hayley regains her conscious and looks at both Klaus and Elijah. "Klaus? Elijah?"

"Are you okay?" Klaus asked her.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Hayley said.

"Where's Christy?" Elijah asked.

"I don't know, she knocked me out with a a lamp." Hayley said, slowly getting up to her feet. "Christy can be anywhere in the French Quarter."

Klaus's phone buzzes in his jeans pocket. He pulls out his phone and looks at it.

Christy

He answers his phone. "Christy?"

"That was a generous offer, Niklaus. Trying to sacrifice yourself for me. How sweet." Christy said on the phone.

"This is between you and me, Christiana. I know you're hurt and your angry. And my betrayal hurt you." Klaus said.

"You wanna make amends, come to the Lafayette Cemetery." Christy said, hanging up her phone.

Klaus, Elijah and Hayley exchange worried looks at each other.

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

Later on that night, Klaus slowly walks inside the cemetery, looking around for Christy. "Christy?"

"I'm right here, Klaus." Christy said, crouched atop of a tomb.

Klaus looks up at his wife. "Christy."

Christy grins, menacingly, magically teleporting off the tomb and onto the concrete ground.

"You broke my heart, Niklaus." Christy said, slowly walks up to him. "So, how about I break yours." and daggers him with the Papa Tunde's Blade in his chest.

Klaus looks at Christy, and falls onto the concrete ground. She slowly crouches down beside him.

"Have a nice nap, my love." Christy said, sarcastically, and slowly gets up to her feet.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

Sitting on a stoop of a tomb, Christy glances at her phone, which has a timer on it. She set it for 8 minutes. And now, it's 1 minute.

She cancels her phone timer, and gets up, putting her phone in her jeans pocket.

She slowly walks up to Klaus, who's conscious, but suffering from the dark infliction of the Papa Tunde's Blade.

Christy crouches down beside her husband, plunging her hand into his chest, and pulls out the blood stained Papa Tunde's Blade from Klaus's chest.

Klaus gasps and looks at Christy upon slowly sitting up.

"Now, we're even." Christy tells him with a straight face.

Klaus and Christy exchange mildly looks at each other. She slowly gets up to her feet and walks away.

Leaving Klaus alone, and he slowly gets back up to his feet.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

OUT AND ABOUT IN FRENCH QUARTER

Aurora is wandering around, enjoying her stroll, nibbling on her pastry.

"Hi, Aurora." Christy said.

Aurora stopped walking upon looking at Christy. "Hello, Christy. It's been a while."

"Yeah. It has." Christy said, and makes her eyes glow blue, grabbing Aurora's arm, absorbing some of her vamp-speed, and vamp-speeding into an alleyway.

Aurora and Christy exchange looks at each other. And Christy plunges her hand into Aurora's chest, extracting her heart out.

Aurora looks at Christy as she slowly desiccates and falls on the ground, dead.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Christy slowly walks into the courtyard, looking around for her daughters. "Luna? Trinity?"

"They're asleep." Nadia said, slowly walks up to her daughter.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Christy asked her mother.

Nadia tosses a small bottle of the sacred water in the air, making her eyes glow blue, she uses her magic to shatter it, making the sacred water sprinkle on Christy.

Christy falls on the floor of the courtyard, groaning in agony pain as Marcalos's dark spell vaporizes from her.

Christy's eyes changes from evil pure black eyes to her normal light green eyes, and she faints.

Klaus and Nadia exchange looks at each other upon him slowly walking inside the courtyard.
