THE BAYOU / CRESCENT MANOR

The next day, Christy is out and about in the woods, sitting atop of a rock.

{Christy's Outfit}

Two young werewolves slowly trots out of the woods and looks at Christy. She small smiles at her daughters, Luna and Trinity, in their werewolf forms.

Small smiling to herself, Christy gently leaps off the rock and looks at her daughters.

"I'll meet you at the Crescent Manor." Christy said to her daughters.

Luna and Trinity nodded and trots away, heading back to the crescent manor. And Christy walks away.

3rd POV

At Aurora's penthouse, Aurora has just finished feeding on a compelled woman. She gently wipes the blood off her mouth with a napkin and gets up and slowly walks away.

Suddenly, Marcalos shows up, wearing his usual dark tieless suit. "Hello, Aurora."

Aurora looks at Marcalos. "Hello, Marcalos."

"I given you one task; to destroy your ex-boyfriend, Klaus Mikaelson, into falling back in love with you. And yet, your task remains incomplete." said Marcalos.

"Niklaus's heart is strongly attached to his wife, Christy. They both have a strong bond between them." Aurora said to the Elder God of the Underworld.

"Need I remind you that I resurrected you. I can easily just destroy you with a snap of my fingers." Marcalos told her. "Perhaps, you're not quite motivated. What if I told you that I can resurrect your older brother, Tristan de Martel from the decease?"

Aurora squints her eyes, suspiciously, at Marcalos. "You must think I am a fool to ever believe anything you say."

"I resurrected you, did I not?" Marcalos said to her, slowly walks up to the Redheaded Vampire. "Complete your task, and I will resurrect your brother."

"How do I know this isn't a false lie?" Aurora asked Marcalos.

Marcalos uses his Pyrokinesis to create a flame in his hand, showing Aurora her older brother's, Tristan's, face.

"Tristan?" Aurora said.

"Aurora?" Tristan said.

And Marcalos's makes the flame disappears. "Complete your tasks, and I will resurrect your brother."

Marcalos and Aurora exchange tense looks at each other.

THE BAYOU / CRESCENT MANOR

Later on that day, Christy, Luna and Trinity are sitting on the U shaped sofa, snacking on s'mores pudding cups.

"These s'more pudding cups are really good, Auntie Keelin." Trinity said.

"Thanks, Trinity." Keelin said.

Suddenly, Christy senses someone outside of the Crescent Manor. She gently sets down her half empty s'more pudding cup and slowly walks up to the living room window.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Trinity asked.

"Stay inside with Auntie Keelin, sweethearts." Christy said.

Christy opens the door and walks out of the manor, closing the door behind her.
Callahan and Keelin walks outside with her.

"Whoever you are, come out." Christy said to whoever it is in the woods.

Five Coyotes slowly walks out from the woods, growling.

"Are those the Coyotes that's been coming around here?" Christy asked.

"Yeah." Keelin told Christy.

"Alright then." Christy said, magically summoning her bronze sword in her hand.

The five Coyotes lunges at Christy, Callahan and Keelin.

Christy chops off the 1st Coyote's head with her bronze sword, killing it instantly. Callahan uses an iron wrought poker and stabs 2nd Coyote in its chest, killing it.

Keelin uses a tree branch and stabs the 3rd Coyote in his chest, killing it.

The 4th Coyote pouches on Callahan, and Christy uses her bronze sword to stab it in his stomach through its back.

And Christy throws her blood-stained bronze sword at the 5th Coyote, cutting it in half.

Callahan gently push off the dead Coyote on the ground. Christy gently helps him up to his feet.

"Thanks." Callahan thanked Christy.

"You're welcome." Christy said, and looks at both Callahan and Keelin. "You guys okay?"

"Yeah, we're fine." Keelin reassured Christy. "That's a nice bronze sword."

"Yeah, I know." Christy said, gently twirling her blood-stained bronze sword in her hand.

⚜️⚜️

That afternoon, Christy is sitting on the staircase, cleaning off her bronze sword with a washcloth.

Luna and Trinity slowly walks up to their mother and sits down on either side of her.

"You miss the fights, don't you, Mom?" Luna asked.

"Yeah, I do." Christy told her oldest daughter. "It's the thrill, you know."

"We get it, Mom." Trinity said.

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

"Is your bronze sword sharp or dull?" Luna asked.

"It's dull. I don't sharpen it much." Christy replied.

"Oh, okay." Luna said.

"Hey, you guys." Keelin said with her tote bag. "I gotta go to work. I have some shifts at the St. Theodora Clinic Center."

"Okay, do you need a ride there?" Christy asked.

"Callahan will drive me there. And he'll pick me up afterwards." Keelin said.

"Okay." Christy said.

"Can we spend the night Auntie Keelin?" Trinity asked.

"Yeah, sure. You and your sister can spend the days and nights here at anytime you like." Keelin said.

"Okay." Luna said.

And Keelin walks away.

"I'll see you sweethearts." Christy said to her daughters, getting up and walks away.

"You too, Mom." Luna said.

ON THE ROAD

Later on that afternoon, Christy is driving in her classic orange Honda Civic Hatchback car. Her phone buzzes in her phone holder.

Klaus

She answers her Bluetooth earpiece. "Hey, Honey. Luna and Trinity are gonna spend some time at the Crescent Manor. They activated their inner wolves."

"How so?" Klaus asked.

"I activated it myself with my magic. But I just wanted to tell you." Christy told her husband.

"Thanks for letting me know. At least, Callahan and Keelin can assist our daughters with their inner wolves." Klaus said.

"Werewolves are pretty cool. Just don't piss them off." Christy said.

Klaus chuckles on the phone.

"I'm on my way back to the compound." Christy told her husband.

"Alright then. I'll see you when you return." Klaus said.

"And by the way, Klaus, I need you to look in Aurora's mind. She must be hiding something or up to something." Christy suggested.

"Will do." Klaus said, and hangs up the phone.

And Christy continues driving back home to the compound.

3rd POV

Aurora is wandering around in the French Quarter when suddenly, she is grabbed by Klaus inside an alleyway.

"Nik?" Aurora said.

"What are you up to, Aurora?" Klaus asked his ex-girlfriend.

Aurora just gives him a look. "Do you really think I'm gonna tell you anything? Like I didn't know that our dinner was a way for you to get me to open up to you?"

"You don't have to, Love." Klaus said, putting his hands on Aurora's head.

Glimpses of Marcalos and Aurora and a flame of Tristan.

Afterwards, Klaus pulls himself away from Aurora.

"You're working with Marcalos." Klaus said to her. "Why?"

"He said if I destroy you, he will resurrect my brother from the dead." Aurora told him.

"And you believed him?" Klaus asked, bewilderedly. "How foolish are you? Marcalos is the Elder God of Underworld."

"He resurrected me, he can resurrect my brother." Aurora told him.

"Oh, please, Marcalos resurrected you, so, he can use you to drive a wedge in between my marriage with Christy. And obviously, that was unsuccessful, and now, he's telling you to destroy me." Klaus told her.

"It's not like you deserve it, Nik. Tristan's my family. The only family I have left." Aurora said with a serious look in her eyes and walks up to Klaus. "So, the next time, you and I encounter each other, I will end you."

"Good luck trying, Aurora." Klaus tells her with a serious look in his eyes.

Klaus and Aurora exchange tense looks at each other and she walks away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That evening, Christy had returned home and is in the study. Klaus and Christy are talking about Aurora.

"So, Marcalos resurrected Aurora, hoping that the two of you would rekindle your relationship. And when that scheme was unsuccessful, he resorted to resurrecting Tristan of Aurora doesn't complete her task, which is to destroy you." Christy said.

"Exactly." Klaus said, standing by the fireplace.

"The women in your life, Klaus." Christy said to him.

"I've had my fair shares of relationships with women, but none of them compares to you." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange chuckles with each other.

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

Callahan

Christy answers her phone. "Hey, Callahan. What's up?"

"I may have something that you might want to check out. I'm still at St. Theodora." Callahan told her.

"Alright, I'm on my way." Christy said, and glances at Klaus, putting her phone back in her jeans pocket. "I have to go."

"Be careful." Klaus said.

"I'm always am." Christy said, walking away.

ST. THEODORA CLINIC CENTER

That night, Callahan and Christy slowly walks inside the medical lab.

"I found this small box on the table." Callahan said, opening the small box, revealing a small vial. "I don't know what it is, but I can tell it's dangerous."

"Do you and Keelin still have those medicine tinctures?" Christy asked.

"Yeah." Callahan answered.

"You're gonna need them." Christy said.
