JACKSON SQUARE MARKET

The next day, Christy are taking a stroll around with Amy and Jessica, the Harvest Girls.

{Christy's Outfit}

"Where's Luna and Trinity? We used to hangout together?" asked Jessica.

"They're at the Camp Orasani." Christy told them. "What have you two been up to?"

"Just the usual witch business." Amy replied. "There's always supernatural drama here."

"Yeah, I know." Christy said.

"Amy? Jessica?" Ivy said to them. "I need your assistance with something."

"We're coming." Amy said.

And Amy and Jessica walks away. And Christy continues with her stroll.

⚜️⚜️

Minutes after, Christy is still with her stroll when suddenly, she hears a rumble from the ground, making her lose her balance and gently leans on a brick wall.

"What was that?" Christy asked.

Vincent, Ivy, Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

And Christy senses something coming. "Vincent? Ivy? Take the witches and leave."

"We're not leaving you, Christy." Vincent said to her.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a wave of fire comes through the market. But Christy makes her eyes glow blue, creating a dome shield around everyone and herself.

Christy yelps out as the fire surrounds her and she uses her magic to keep the fire from hurting the French Quarter witches.

"Christy?!" Vincent exclaimed, worriedly.

And the fire goes away, leaving an unconscious Christy levitating in the air with glowing green veins on her face and neck.

The blue dome shields disappears from the French Quarter witches, along with Vincent and Ivy.

"Christy?!" Ivy exclaimed, looking up at her best friend. "Oh my God."

Christy slowly levitates down. Both Vincent and Ivy gently takes her in their arms and gently lays her down, cradling her.

"Is she alright?" Colette asked, worried.

"I think so." Vincent said.

"Glowing green veins." Ivy said.

"We need to take her somewhere safely." Vincent said.

LYCHEE - TOP FLOOR LEVEL

Later that day, in the greenhouse, Christy's unconscious body lays atop of a table. The glowing green veins has disappeared from her face and neck.

Amy and Jessica are with her.

"What was that with the fire?" Amy asked. "It just came out of nowhere."

"I don't know, Amy." said Jessica to her best friend. "I just hope Christy wakes up."

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

Vincent and Ivy are sitting on the steps of the altar, worried about Christy. Klaus walks inside.

"Where is she? Is Christy alright?" Klaus asked both Vincent and Ivy.

"Klaus? She's fine." Vincent told him, getting up to his feet.

"I want to see her for myself." Klaus told Vincent.

And then, Amy walks up to them. "Vincent?"

Klaus, Vincent, and Ivy looks at Amy.

"Christy is woken up." Amy told them.

LYCÉE

Christy is sitting atop of the table she was laying on. She looks at Klaus, Vincent and Ivy.

"What the hell happened?" Klaus asked.

"A fire just came out of nowhere in the Jackson Square Market." Christy told her husband. "I shielded myself and the witches from the fire."

"Christy? You had glowing green veins on your face and your neck." Ivy mentioned.

"I did?" Christy said.

"You did." Vincent said.

"Not to worry, I'm not gonna become my dark alter ego, so, you guys can relax." Christy said. "How are the witches? Are they okay?"

"They're fine. We're fine." Ivy reassured Christy with a small smile.

"Well, I'm sure you witches have witch business to get back to." Klaus said with an attitude.

"Klaus? Lose your attitude, please." Christy told him.

Klaus sighs to himself and looks at Vincent and Ivy. "I'm sure the two of you have witch business to resume."

"We do." Vincent said. "I'm glad you're okay, Christy."

"Me too, Vince." Christy said.

Vincent, Ivy and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. Vincent and Ivy walks away.

Klaus looks at Christy, who gives him her "wifey" look.

"What?" Klaus said.

"It's so impossible for you to be a little bit nice." Christy said.

"Well, you know me, Love." Klaus said, slowly walks up to her.

"Yeah, I do know you. After many years of marriage, you can still be an arrogant dick." Christy said with her eyes glow flashes red in her anger.

Klaus looks at Christy and she calms down.

"I'm sorry." Christy apologized. "I'm sorry."

"Perhaps, your dark alter ego seeks to be released once again." Klaus said.

"Why did you stop me from hurting Persephone?" Christy asked.

"Because I want you to remain good and pure." Klaus told her with a soft look in his eyes. "There is a little monster within you, Chris. But you and I both know that sooner or later that it will resurface again."

"Yeah, but hopefully, it won't." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange soft looks at each other.

"I don't want to lose myself." Christy said.

And Klaus gently leans his forehead on hers. "And I don't want to lose you."

And Christy gently cups his face with her hands.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later that late afternoon, in the courtyard, The Elder God, Ames and The Elder Goddess, Nadia, wearing casual clothes, are with their daughter, Christy, doing taijiquan.

Ames, Nadia and Christy are doing taijiquan in unison. Every arm, leg and hand movement.

Afterwards, they stop.

"You both told me that taijiquan is a healthy thing for the body and mind." Christy said.

"There are some things that your father and I mentored you as you were growing up." Nadia said, sitting down on the fountain.

Ames sits down next to his wife, Nadia, on the fountain.

"Christiana? You once told us that you wanted to make us proud when you began your training." Ames said.

"I remember." Christy said. "I trained hard myself. I didn't push myself too much, I didn't burn myself out. I only had one goal; to become an Orasanian Warrior."

Ames, Nadia and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"I love you guys. So much." Christy said to her parents.

"As we love you, Christiana." Nadia said.

Ames, Nadia and Christy exchange another small smiles at each other.

That evening, Christy slowly walks inside Luna's bedroom and sees both her daughters, Luna and Trinity, playing with their pet, Ferret, sitting on Luna's bed.

"Hey, sweethearts." Christy greeted her daughters.

"Hey, Mom." Trinity greeted her back with a small smile.

Christy sits down on the side of the bed, gently soothes Ferret's head. "You two have been taking care of Ferret?"

"We do." Luna said. "Trinity and I feed Ferret blueberries and foods that Ferret can eat."

"Do you guys know of taijiquan?" Christy asked.

"Nope." Trinity told her.

"Taijiquan is an exercise for the body and mind." Christy said. "You wanna try it with me before I leave for Mount Orasani?"

Luna and Trinity nodded.

"Sure, Mom." Trinity said.

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

Later that night, in the study, Klaus is in the study, sitting behind the desk, taking sips of his bourbon.

Christy slowly walks inside and sits down on the sofa. "You love drinking bourbon, don't you?"

"Always." Klaus replied. "I do add blood to it."

"Yeah, I know." Christy said. "You know, Klaus, you think that fear is a great thing. But sometimes you want others to be scared of you to mask your own fear."

"Don't psychoanalyze me, Little Enchantress. Gets on my nerves." Klaus said.

"You have to trust, Klaus." Christy said to her husband.

"You know, I have trust issues." Klaus said to her.

"Then, that's your problem, Honey." Christy said to him. "You're scared to trust anyone because, in your mind, you think that they're gonna hurt you."

Klaus looks surprised but small smiles to himself, getting up and slowly walks over to Christy and sits down next to her on the sofa.

"You do love psychoanalyzing me, don't you?" Klaus asked.

"Sometimes, yeah." Christy replied.

Klaus and Christy exchange small chuckles with each other.
