THE NEXT MORNING AT
ST. ANNE'S CHURCH Kieran walks down from the attic and sees Mira sitting in a pew in the empty sanctuary.

[Mira's Outfit]

"Hi, Kieran. Lovely morning isn't it?" Mira asked him.

"Yes, it is." Kieran said. "Are you gonna kill me now?"

"Why would I destroy you? I'm not like Klaus." Mira said.

"Yeah. You say that, but I don't quite believe you." Kieran said, folding his arms. "Witches talk."

"What makes you think I give a shit about what the witches supernatural gossip about me?" Mira said with a straight face.

"You don't." Kieran said.

"Nope." Mira said. "By the way, I know about your nephew, Sean O'Connell. I'm sorry." She said.

"Cami told you." Kieran said.

"Cami and I are best friends, and we talk sometimes." Mira said, folding her arms. "Are you frightened of Klaus?"

"No." Kieran said.

"Are you frightened of me?" Mira asked him.

"No." Kieran said.

"Good. Because you should be." Mira said to him with a sly smile, but becomes calm again, and gets up to her feet. "But anyhoo, I'll see you around, Kieran." and she walks away.

JARDIN GRIS

Kate is arranging some herbs and mason jars on a shelf. The door opens and closes. Mira slowly walks inside.

"Hey, Kate." Mira greeted her.

Kate glances at Mira, gently setting down a cardboard box on a nearby table. "Hi, Mira."

Kate and Mira exchange straight faces at each other, and slowly smiles at each other as they slowly walks up to each other and shares a hug.

"It's good to see you, Mira." Kate said to her best friend.

"You too." Mira said.

"I have something for you." Kate said, slowly walking from her, pulling out a small pouch bag from her desk drawer and slowly walks up to Mira. "Spice herbs that you love so much."

"Thanks, Kate." Mira said, gently taking the small pouch bag. "How Thierry and you?"

"Pretty good." Kate said. "And you?"

"Pretty good myself." Mira said. "Perhaps, you, me, Jane-Anne and Sophie can drink together or something?"

"Yeah, sure." Kate said.

Kate and Mira exchange small smiles at each other and Mira walks away.

Now, outside of Jardin Gris, Mira's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Jane-Anne

Mira answers her phone. "Hey, Janey, what's up?"

"You need to come back to St. Anne's Church. It's Kieran." Jane tells her.

"I'm on my way." Mira said, hanging up her phone and puts it back in her jeans pocket, walking away.

RETURNING BACK TO
ST. ANNE'S CHURCH Mira slowly walks down the aisle. Jane-Anne, Sophie and Kieran are at the altar.

"Janey? Soph? What's going on?" Mira asked her best friends.

"She's here, Klaus." Kieran said.

A slight whoosh is behind Mira. Klaus speaks into her ear. "Did you really think you can worm your way into Kieran's good?"

Mira turns her face to him. "Unlike you, Klaus." And then, her whole body. "You manipulate and threatened to get what you want. But I don't."

"And you expect anyone to believe you? The She-Wolf. You claim to be compassionate, but deep down within you, you want allies and best friends to assist you with enemies." Klaus said.

"I have best friends, Klaus. And I'm also compassionate, and yes, I'm a monster, but unlike you, I don't manipulate or threaten to get what I want. And you, you don't have real friends, other than the ones you compel." Mira said.

"Okay, that's quite enough you guys." Jane-Anne said, trying to calm them down.

"It's not quite enough, Janey." Mira glances at her, and looks at Klaus again. "Klaus thinks he's so invincible because he's the Original Immortal Hybrid and he can't be destroyed, and he everyone to be frightened of him, but deep down, he's frightened of being alone in the darkness, pondering about where everyone has gone."

Klaus looks at Mira, slight irked at what she said. And Mira notices it.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hit a nerve?" Mira said to him with a cheeky grin.

"You have nerve speaking to me like that." Klaus said, eyeing her intensely.

"Yeah. I do have nerve, what are you gonna do?" Mira asked, getting into his face, daring him. "I'm not frightened of you, Klaus. Not you, Elijah, Rebekah, or your other siblings. Never was. Never will be." She tells him.

"You're so full of yourself." Klaus said.

"And you know it." Mira replied, cheekily.

And Klaus walks away.

"I really love and enjoy our intimacy rolling around half naked in your cozy warm bed." Mira said cheekily, playfully teasing him about their intimacy.

Klaus stopped walking, Jane-Anne and Sophie snicker to themselves.

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that." Kieran said, walking away.

Klaus turns around to look at Mira, annoyed, and vamp-speeds away.

Jane-Anne and Sophie slowly up beside Mira.

"You do have a way of pushing Klaus's buttons, don't you, Mira?" Sophie asked her.

"Yeah. I do." Mira said.

THAT NIGHT AT MIRA'S LOFT APARTMENT Mira slowly walks inside her loft apartment, closing her door.

Sensing that she's not alone in her nightly living room, Mira slowly wolfs-speeds to the kitchen, and slings a kitchen knife at Klaus, who catches it in his hand.

"Leave my loft apartment." Mira tells him.

"Not before you and I have a chat." Klaus said, setting down the kitchen knife on the coffee table.

Klaus and Mira exchange serious looks at each other. And the two Original Hybrids engages in a fight, exchanging punches to each other's faces, to making a mess in the living room itself, smashing the coffee table and cutting each other with the kitchen knife.

Mira breaks off a chair leg from a chair and hits Klaus across his face with it and stabs him in his stomach with it, making him groan and falls onto the floor.

Gently pulling out the blood-stained chair leg out of his stomach, Klaus slings it at Mira's stomach, making her falls onto the floor beside him. She pulls out her the chair leg from her stomach and tosses it away.

With a few bruises on each other's faces and with stab wounds on their stomachs, Klaus and Mira exchange calm looks at each other and suddenly, chuckles with each other.

"What the bloody hell?" Klaus chuckled.

"I know. We just fought each other and now, we're chuckling about it." Mira said to him.

Klaus looks at Mira and gently holds her close to him. "I've missed you, Miranda. I need you in my life. I love you."

Mira looks at Klaus, bewildered. "Okay, you must have the adrenaline from our intense fight that we just had."

"No, I'm serious, Love." Klaus said. "I love you."

"I love you too, Klaus." Mira said.

Klaus and Mira shares a passionate kiss while laying on the floor.

"And we're laying on the floor." Mira reminded Klaus.

"Yeah." Klaus said, slowly sitting up straight.

And Mira slowly sits up straight. Her phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Davina

Mira answers her phone. "Davina, how are you? I miss you."

Davina chuckles a little on the phone. "I miss you too, Mira. But there's something you need to know?"

"Davina, what is it? Are you okay?" Mira asked, becoming worried.

"I'm fine, Mira. I'm okay, but it's Agnes. I think that she's working with Sabine, and two of them are scheming something. I can find out if you want." Davina said.

"I don't want you getting in trouble, but I'll handle both Agnes and Sabine. I'll see you around, Davina." Mira said.

"You too." Davina said, hanging up her phone.

Klaus and Mira exchange looks at each other.

"Klaus, we're two Original Hybrids. So, what if the Agnes and Sabine/Celeste, are scheming together?" Mira said.

"You're pondering that Agnes has been trying to locate your Mom?" Klaus asked.

"My Mom left me and my father when I was a witch, but when I activated my werewolf gene, thus, turning me into the Original Were-witch hybrid, my sadness turned into anger." Mira said. "I think you're right, Klaus. The witches are trying to locate my Mom."

Klaus and Mira exchange worried looks at each other.
