THE NEXT MORNING, AT THE MIKAELSON COMPOUND, The sun crepes slowly into the bedroom of Klaus and Christy. His tuxedo is laying on the carpet floor, along with his tie. Christy's camisole nightgown is laying on the carpet floor.

Klaus tiredly wakes up and glances at Christy, who's sitting in the armchair, wearing a buttoned up shirt, along with her undies and baring her legs.

"Good morning, Mr. Mikaelson." Christy says with a smile.

"Good morning, Mrs. Nelson-Mikaelson." Klaus says with a smile.

Christy smiles softly and gets up, slowly walks up to the bed and sits down at Klaus's bedside. "So, first thing's first, what are we gonna do about your mommy dearest Esther?"

"Don't know, but I'll come up with something." Klaus says, and sits up sideways. "And you're up a bit early?"

"Yeah. I am." says Christy. "And I'm not quite much of an morning person."

Klaus snickers. So does Christy. With his vamp-speed, Klaus playfully lays Christy on their bed. They both playfully chuckles.

Klaus and Christy kisses each other, affectionately. And he gently lays down beside her.

Christy gazes at the ceiling. "Ever since I arrived here in the French Quarter, I've befriended friendships, and now, I may have some enemies."

Klaus turns his head to look at Christy. "Whatever enemies you have, we'll defeat them together."

Christy averts her gaze from the ceiling to Klaus. "I know."

Klaus slowly turns sideways and unbuttons the lower half of Christy's buttoned shirt, revealing her slim stomach. He gently trails his fingertips up and down her stomach, making Christy playfully giggles softly.

"Ticklish much?" Klaus asks her with a small smile.

"A little." Christy says.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"But sadly, I have to go, but I'll see you around, Klaus." Christy says, getting up, and walks away.

ROUSSEAU'S

{Christy's Outfit}

Christy is sitting at the bar counter with ice cream sundae and eats a small spoonful of it. Vincent Griffith sits down beside her.

"Hi, Vincent." Christy says.

"Hi, Christy." Vincent says.

"I assume that you know of me." Christy says to Vincent.

"I do know of you. And you have extraordinary magic." says Vincent.

"I can sense magical energy. So, you can trust me. I trust you." Christy says to Vincent.

"Marcel was right about you. You're a compassionate woman." Vincent says to Christy.

"I am. But not that compassionate." Christy says. And her phone buzzes in her pinafore romper pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Esther

Christy answers her phone. "Esther, what do you want, Mommy Dearest?"

"Meet me at the Lycée. I would like to discuss something with you." Esther says, and hangs up her phone.

Christy looks at Vincent. "I gotta go, but I'll see you around, Vince."

"You as well, Christy." Vincent says.

Christy eats the rest of her ice cream sundae and gets up, and walks away.

LYCÉE

Christy slowly walks inside the greenhouse lycée. Lenore-Esther is watering the flower pots.

"Esther." Christy says. "You said that you would like to discuss something, what is it?"

"I have a proposal for you, my dear, Christiana." Lenore/Esther says.

"What proposal?" Christy says.

Lenore/Esther gently sets down the water pot on the table. And slowly walks over to a desiccated body of a vampire laying atop of a table. "I've killed a vampire . . . ." And pulls out a small vial of vampire blood. ". . . . And I've taken some of vampire blood."

"Okay?" Christy says, a bit confused, but then, she realizes what Lenore/Esther has schemed up. "You want me to take the vampire blood, don't you?"

"When Niklaus first met you, his intentions were not pure, he wanted to use you as a weapon, did he not? What if I told you that you could exact your revenge against him?" Lenore/Esther says, and smiles softly. "Wouldn't that be nice, Christiana?"

"Thanks, but no thanks." Christy says.

Lenore/Esther puts the small vial of vampire blood inside a small wooden box and gives it to her. "If you change your mind."

Christy gently takes the small wooden box. And walks away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That evening, in the empty courtyard, Christy is sitting atop of the table. Klaus slowly walks inside.

"Christy?" Klaus says.

"Your mother phone called me. Said she wanted to talk about a proposal." Christy says.

"What proposal did Esther discuss?" Klaus asks Christy, and slowly walks up to her.

Christy picks up the small wooden box and gives it to Klaus, who takes it and opens it. Inside is the small vial of vampire blood.

"What is this?" Klaus asks.

"It's a small vial of vampire blood. Esther gave it to me." Christy says to her husband, Klaus. "Esther knows about your un-purely intentions."

"And so, is that why you asked me about what it is like to be a vampire?" Klaus asks Christy. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I wanted you to know." Christy says, and walks away from him.

"Christiana, tell me the truth." Klaus says. "I thought you've forgiven me."

Christy turns around and looks at Klaus. "I did forgive you, Klaus."

"But your heart did not." Klaus says.

"What do you want me to say to Niklaus, that I want to exact vengeance upon you? Because yeah, I do." Christy says, and becomes teary-eyed. "I know I asked you what it like as a vampire, but if I do, take the vampire blood, I will become a hybrid. So, I can either keep it or destroy it."

Klaus and Christy exchange glum looks at each other. And she walks away.

{Christy's Pajama Outfit}

In Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy is laying in their bed, with the bedcover covering her.

Klaus slowly walks inside and walks up to Christy's drawer and opens the top shelf and puts the small wooden box in it and closes the top shelve.

Klaus looks at Christy and slowly walks up to her and gently crawls onto the bed and lays down behind her, and cuddles her.

Christy turns over and looks at him. "I'm sorry that I got angry with you."

"It's okay. Besides, we're husband and wife, so, basically, you and I are gonna have our lovebird quarrels." Klaus says.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. And they share an affectionate kiss.

3rd POV

Sophie Devereaux is out and about in the French Quarter. Monique Devereaux slowly walks up to her.

"Sophie?" Monique says.

Sophie looks at her niece, Monique. "Monique, Hi."

"I have a message for Christy." Monique says to Sophie.

"What are you talking about? What a message?" Sophie asks Monique, confused.

Monique uses her witch magic to give Sophie an aneurysm spell. Sophie grimaces and her nose starts to bleed. And her eyes, ears and mouth.

Monique looks at Sophie as Sophie coughs up some blood and stumbles onto the ground.

Sophie falls on the ground, dead. And Monique walks away.
