THE NEXT MORNING
AT ROUSSEAU'S Mira Leuven is sitting at the bar counter with her glass of red wine.

[Mira's Outfit]

Her phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. And she pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Mira furrows her eyebrows, bewilderedly. She then, dials Jane-Anne's phone number.

"Hey, Mira." Jane-Anne answered on the phone.

"How the hell is Sabine resurrected? I thought Elijah killed her?" Mira asked, bewildered.

"Monique resurrected her. I'm with Sophie right now in a mausoleum at the Lafayette Cemetery." Jane-Anne informed her on the phone.

"Okay, love you, Janey." Mira said.

"Love you too, Mira." Jane-Anne said.

"There's something you should know." Klaus said to Mira, painting on his canvas.

"Sabine's resurrected." Mira said, which causes Klaus to not be surprised. "What? I do have eyes and ears around here."

"Your best friends, Jane-Anne and Sophie." Klaus said.

"Just witchy stuff, but other than that, I figure things out myself." Mira said, sitting in an armchair, sideways. "What are you painting, by the way?"

"If I tell you, it would spoil the surprise." Klaus said.

Klaus and Mira exchange small smiles at each other; and Camille slowly walks inside the study.

"Hey, Cami. What are you doing here?" Mira asked her best friend.

"Camille has been coming here as of recently." Klaus said with a small smile.

Mira looks at Klaus. "You've been compelling her? Why?"

"She's my eyes and ears as well, especially with Marcel." Klaus said.

Mira looks at Camille. "Is that true, Cami?"

"Yeah. It's true." Camille tells Mira, folding her arms, a bit annoyed. "He's been compelling me so, I can be his spy for Marcel."

"Why? For secrets?" Mira asked Klaus. "What the hell's with you?"

"Marcel has made himself an empire, and I intend to know how." Klaus said.

"By compelling my best friend, Camille?" Mira said to bewildered.

"Don't get too worked up, Mira." Klaus said. "Camille's also my stenographer."

Camille and Mira exchange looks at each other.

"Camille? Do you want to hangout together sometimes at your apartment?" Mira asked.

"Yeah, sure." Camille said.

"Have you been in contact with Rebekah?" Klaus asked Mira. "Although, you did try to choke her."

"I tried to kill Rebekah, yeah. But Elijah intervened." Mira said.

"You tried to kill Rebekah?" Camille said to Mira.

"Yeah. But I'm not frightened of Klaus nor Elijah." Mira said, looking at Klaus. "The Mikaelson's may be a dysfunctional messed up family, and they hurt and betray each other, but when it comes to it, they protect each other. Always and Forever."

"And if anyone tries to mess with them?" Camille asked Mira.

"Like I said, I'm not frightened of the Mikaelson's." Mira said.

Klaus and Mira exchange intense looks at each other.

"Oh, well, thanks for the chitchat, I'll see you two around." Mira said, getting up to her feet and walking away.

ST. ANNE'S CHURCH

Camille is sitting in a pew, and Mira sits down beside her.

"You told me to meet you here, what for?" Camille asked her.

Mira hands Camille a plastic bottle of water laced vervain. "Water laced vervain. Drink some of it and no vampire would ever compel you ever again."

Camille gently takes the plastic bottle in her hands. "I know you're looking out for me, Mira. But thanks. And by the way, Davina will de-compel me."

Mira and Camille exchange small smiles at each other.

"And thanks, for the vervain water." Camille said.

Camille and Mira exchange small smiles at each other.

LYCEE

Mira slowly walks inside and sees Davina trying to use her magic on a dead rose.

"Low self esteem, Davina?" Mira asked.

Davina looks at Mira. "Maybe, I have."

Mira slowly walks up to Davina. "Davina? What's been going on with you?"

"The witches talk sometimes." Davina said. "And plus, Monique. She and I were best friends, but not anymore."

"The witches dislikes you, don't they?" Mira asked.

"Yeah. I misused my magic. But I haven't really been magical lately." Davina said, glumly.

"Do you trust me?" Mira asked Davina.

"I do." Mira said. "And besides, Jane-Anne and Sophie talks about you too."

Mira looks at dead rose in Davina's hand. "Try again."

Davina looks at the dead rose in her hands and magically chants. The dead rose blossoms into a red rose again.

Davina and Mira exchange small smiles at each other and Mira glances around at the other red roses.

"Very good, Davina. All you needed was a little boost of confidence." Mira said.

Davina looks around at the red roses and smiles to herself.

Davina and Mira exchange smiles at each other.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That evening, Mira slowly walks inside Klaus's bedroom and sees a cloth covering a canvas.

She slowly walks up to it, gently pulls off the cloth to reveal a canvas painting of her.

Mira looks at the canvas painting with awe. And she hears a slight whoosh from behind her.

"What do you think?" Klaus asked in her ear, gently wrapping his arms around her waist. "Took a while to finish it, but I did."

"It's beautiful. I love it." Mira answered with a smile, and looks at him. "Why did you paint it?"

"I couldn't stop thinking about you." Klaus said. "Even though, you and I banter with each other. And your cheekiness annoys me, but somehow, you still have my heart. And I am truly sorry."

"I forgive you." Mira said. "Even though, you're a pain in the ass." she added.

Klaus and Mira exchange small smiles at each other.

"The painting's yours as a gift. And perhaps, when this nonsense is ceased, I would like to take you on a date at the St. James Infirmary." Klaus said.

"Sounds nice." Mira said, and gently cups his face with her hands. "I'll see you around, Klaus."

Mira gently removes her hands from Klaus's face and plants a kiss on his forehead and she slowly walks away from him.

"I'll come back for my painting." Mira said, walking away.

OUT AND ABOUT IN FRENCH QUARTER Mira is wandering around.

"Hi, Mira." Sabine/Celeste said.

Mira looks at Sabine/Celeste. "Sabine Laurent. Or should I say Celeste."

"Even though, you made yourself immune from witch magic, you're not immune from the Papa Tunde's Blade." Sabine/Celeste said.

Monique stabs Mira in her stomach with the Papa Tunde's Blade and Mira falls onto the ground, unconscious.
