MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, Klaus slowly walks inside his and Christy's bedroom and looks at Christy's emptied drawer and her backpack gone.

"Dad?" Trinity said.

Klaus turns around to look at his youngest daughter. "Trinity?"

"Mom's gone isn't she?" Trinity asked, sadly.

"Yeah, your mother's gone. She went back to Mount Orasani." Klaus told her.

"Will she come back?" Trinity asked.

"I don't know, sweetheart." Klaus replied, not knowing himself. "I don't know."

"What happened between you and Mom?" Trinity asked, a bit confused. "I thought everything was fine?"

"I did something to upset your mother. And I don't know if she's gonna return back home or even forgive me." Klaus said.

"Well, you and Mom loves each other. You and Mom will find your way back to each other." Trinity said with a small smile.

"Hopefully we will." Klaus said.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI / HAGARTH'S TAVERN

Christy is sitting at the bar counter, taking sips of her mug of hot milk tea.

(Christy's Outfit)

Her phone buzzes in her skinny pants pocket. She takes out her phone and looks at it.

Klaus

Christy presses the red 'Deline' button and puts her phone back in her pants pocket.

"A refill for yer milk tea, Christiana?" Hagarth asked.

"Sure, Hagarth." Christy said to him.

Hagarth gently takes his kettle and pours some more milk tea into Christy's mug.

"Thanks, big buddy." Christy thanked him.

"Yer welcome." Hagarth said.

Hagarth and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and he walks away.

And Christy takes another sip of her milk tea.

shortly after . . .

After paying Hagarth with coins for her milk tea drink, Christy walks out of Hagarth's Tavern and into the vendors market.

⚜️⚜️

VENDORS MARKET

Christy visits some vendors, sampling some food, and exchanging small smiles with some customers.

Her wrist comm buzzes in her skinny pants pocket. She takes out her wrist comm and presses a button on it.

Hagarth appears on the wrist comm screen.

"Hi, Hagarth." Christy greeted him. "Is everything alright?" She asked.

"Everything's alright. I need yer help at my tavern." Hagarth said on the wrist comm screen.

"Okay, I'm coming." Christy said, hanging up her wrist comm and walks away.

⚜️⚜️

HAGARTH'S TAVERN

Later that day, Christy is serving food and drinks to customers with a platter.

Afterwards, she walks back into the kitchen where she sees Klaus, gently leaning backwards against a countertop.

"What are you doing here?" Christy asked her husband.

"You didn't answer my phone call." Klaus said to her.

"Because I'm not talking to you." Christy told him.

"Chris?" Klaus said.

But Christy doesn't want to hear anything else from him. "Go home, Niklaus." And walks away from him.

"Christy, please?" Klaus said. "Can we at least, just talk?"

"There's nothing else to talk about. I have nothing else to say to you." Christy said as she puts canned foods and canned yams in a cardboard box.

"I need your help." Klaus said.

"Asks Elijah." Christy told him.

"Chris?" Klaus said.

And Christy looks at him, annoyed. "I'm preoccupied with helping Hagarth, so whatever is going on with you, you need to stop being an arrogant asshole and figure it out yourself. You can apologize to me all you want, because at the end of the day, you will always be your typical Klaus Mikaelson self. I've wondered why Elijah spent his entire Immortal life trying to redeem you of your bullshit. The thing is, Elijah wasted his time with you. You're nothing but an irredeemable monster."

"I've changed." Klaus said.

"Oh, really?" Christy said with a really look on her face. "I'll believe it when I see it because what happened between us, was your fault."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other and she bumps her shoulder with his as she walks by him with a cardboard box of canned food and yams in her arms.

Klaus sighs to himself with his attempt to make amends with his wife failed.

⚜️⚜️

- Third POV -

After returning back to the Mikaelson Compound with teleportation, Klaus walks inside the study. He takes a decanter of bourbon and pours himself a glass of bourbon and takes a gulp of it.

Marcel slowly walks inside. "I assume that Christy is still pissed at you."

"What do you want, Marcel?" Klaus asked, pouring himself another bourbon and drinks it one gulp.

"I came to tell you that Vincent managed to break through Aurora's mind. He has the information to reverse the Rou-Ga-Rou curse on Christy." Marcel told him.

"And what about the spell that's preventing Aurora from being engulfed in flames?" Klaus asked.

"I'll leave that up to you." Marcel said. "But we'll need Christy's help."

"She won't even speak to me." Klaus said. "She can use her anger on me."

"I'll talk to her." Marcel said.

⚜️⚜️

HAGARTH'S TAVERN

That late afternoon, Christy is sweeping the floor with a broom while Hagarth is cleaning and drying the dishes.

Christy's phone buzzes in her skinny pants pocket. She presses the button on her earpiece.

"Hello?" Christy asked.

"Christy? It's me, Marcel." Marcel told her on the earpiece. "Vincent managed to break through Aurora's mind with a spell. He has the information to remove the Rou-Ga-Rou curse from you."

"I'll meet you at the compound in a few minutes." Christy said.

"Alright, see you in a few." Marcel said, and hangs up his phone.

And Christy resumes sweeping.

⚜️⚜️

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That evening, Klaus and Marcel are with Vincent Griffith in the courtyard.

Christy teleports herself in the entrance of the compound and slowly walks inside the courtyard.

"Marcel? Vince?" Christy said to her best friends.

"Christy?" Vincent said.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other but she gives him a straight face.

"Tonight's the full moon, so, where's the information?" Christy asked.

"The reversal spell for the Rou-Ga-Rou curse needs herbs." Vincent said.

"Alright then, I'll asks Ivy for the herbs and she'll make the concoction here." Christy said.

"Alright. I'll let her know." Vincent said, and walks away.

And then, Marcel notices the tension between Klaus and Christy.

"I'm gonna get myself a drink in the study." Marcel said, walking away.

"Chris?" Klaus said.

And Christy looks at him with a glare of anger. "Whatever bullshit apology that you have, you can shove it up your Hybrid ass. The only reason why I'm here is because of the concoction, so, when I'm done, I'm going back to Mount Orasani." She told him with an attitude.

Klaus looks at Christy, glumly.

⚜️⚜️

After Ivy came to the Mikaelson Compound with a pouch of herbs, she sits at a table with a mortar pestle, gently mixing the herbs together.

"I'm gonna get myself a drink." Christy said and looks at Ivy. "And Ivy, if Klaus gives you any trouble or if he be mean to you, let me know . . ." she trailed off, looking at Klaus with a glare of anger. ". . . I'll deal with him myself."

Klaus looks at Christy, knowingly.

"I will." Ivy said.

Ivy and Christy exchange nods at each other and Christy walks away.

⚜️⚜️

In the upstairs study, Marcel and Christy are sitting across from each other with their small drinking glass of bourbon.

"What did Klaus do now that pissed you off?" Marcel asked, taking a sip of his bourbon.

"He kept something from me and didn't tell me. I had to find out from you, that Klaus found his ex-girlfriend, Aurora, and kept her bricked up inside a crypt, dozed up with vervain unless he given her information." Christy said.

"Klaus will always be himself. Always. But one thing's for sure, Christy, Klaus loves you. His ego can get the better of him. But when it comes to it, he will protect his family. You're his bright light in his darkness, Christy, and he knows without you, he's afraid to fail you." Marcel said.

Marcel and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

⚜️⚜️

In the courtyard, Ivy stirs a liquid into the mortar pestle, along with the herbs.

Klaus is pacing back and forth with his arms folded. "How long will this take?"

Ivy glances at him. "Watch your tone with me, no wonder why Christy left you."

Klaus stopped pacing and looks at Ivy. "My strained marriage is none of your concern."

Ivy looks up at Klaus, annoyed. "You want to know why the witches has respect for Christy? Because she earned it for years. She's a good woman and you take her granted every time. We didn't asks her to the canned goods at the St. Anne's Church, she does that because whenever someone's in need she does the best that she can to help. And unlike you, Christy has a big heart and she doesn't leave anyone behind. So, make amends with her before it's too late, Klaus."

And Ivy resumes making the concoction as Klaus ponders about what she told him.

⚜️⚜️

That night, Ivy had finished the concoction and puts it in a vial. She hands it to Christy.

"Thanks, Ivy." Christy thanked her.

"You're welcome." Ivy said. "Now, in the middle of your transformation, you have to drink the concoction. You will be free of your Rou-Ga-Rou curse."

"Okay." Christy said. "I'll call you to let you know."

Ivy and Christy shares a hug and Christy walks away.

And Klaus follows her into the entrance. "Chris? I'm sorry."

Christy stopped walking and turns around to look at him. "What?"

"I'm sorry." Klaus apologized. "I know you must hate me . . . He trailed me.

"Hate?" Christy said. "I don't hate you, Niklaus. I can be angry with you. But I could never hate you. It's not in me."

"What can I do to make things right between us?" Klaus asked, slowly walks up to her.

"I don't know if you can. Because later on down the line, it might happen again and we will be right back here." Christy told him.

"It won't happen again." Klaus said.

"How can I know that?" Christy asked him. "You use and abuse, consequences be damned. You don't care about anyone other than yourself and I'm tired of it. You burn people with your lies and deceit, and you expect things to go your way. You want to control things, and when you can't get your way, you resort to violence, bloodshed and threats. And I'm glad that Luna and Trinity aren't here to see us argue."

Christy gently pulls off her engagement ring and wedding ring off her left hand ring finger and puts it in Klaus's hand.

"Christy?" Klaus said. "Don't do this."

"I'm done, Niklaus." Christy told him. "You're not the man I married or fell in love with. I really thought you had it in you to be a better man, I was wrong."

Christy walks away from him, but stopped walking and turns around to look at Klaus again. "And by the way, if I show up at anytime, don't ask for my help. And if it's not about Luna and Trinity, don't call me."

Klaus looks at Christy as she walks away from him, teleporting away in golden dust.
