ROUSSEAU'S

THAT AFTERNOON, the wicked ancient sorceress, Lorena, is sitting at a round table with her glass of wine.

Klaus sits down at the round table across from her. "You must be Lorena, I'm Klaus Mikaelson."

"I wanted to see Christiana, not you, Klaus Mikaelson." Lorena said, snobby.

"Well, I am who you get. And by the way, if you come after my wife, Christy, I will destroy you." Klaus said, threateningly.

"Christiana can speak for herself, she doesn't need anyone, or you, battling her battles." Lorena said.

"Well, she's my wife, so, basically, her battles are also mine." Klaus said.

"Such devotion and Love you have for her. However, Christiana has proven how weaken she's become by not meeting me here." Lorena said, pulling out a piece of paper and slides it on the table across to Klaus. "So, be a handsome gentleman and give my phone number to her, please. And it was lovely to becoming acquainted with you, Klaus Mikaelson. I'll see you around."

Klaus and Lorena exchange looks at each other and she gets up, walking away.

{Christy's Outfit}

In her office, Christy is sitting at her desk table, finishing up her story manuscript to be published on her computer.

Christy's phone buzzes on her desk. She picks it up and looks at it. Klaus

She answers her phone. "Hey, Klaus."

"Hi, Love. I do love the beautiful rooftop patio up here. Seems cozy." Klaus said, and hangs up his phone.

Christy puts her phone in her green crochet tote bag, logs off her computer, and gets up, walking away.

      atop of the rooftop patio...

Christy gently walks upstairs and onto the tile beige floor. Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"What are you doing up here?" Christy asked her husband, gently sitting down her green crotchet tote bag on the patio bench.

"I spoke to Lorena." Klaus tells Christy.

"You didn't have to do that. Now, she's gonna think that I cannot fight my battles." Christy said, walking up to Klaus.

"Well, if she comes after you, I'll tear her throat out with my teeth." Klaus said.

"Klaus, I love you, and I love you for being protective, but I can handle Lorena. She's my enemy." Christy said to him.

"We're married, so, technically, Lorena is my enemy as well." Klaus said.

"Where's Luna?" Christy asked.

"With Elijah and your best friend, Gia." And I've told Freya about Mathias. And she's pleased." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and he gently walks behind her and gently wraps his arms around her waist and gently puts his chin on her shoulder.

"I know you don't want to talk about it, but something's off with you. But whenever you're ready to discuss it, I'll be here." Klaus said.

"I know." Christy said.

Klaus plants a kiss on her cheek. "I'm planning a formal dance at the Mikaelson Compound."

"I'm sure that the formal dance will be amazing." Christy said to him.

"Do you speak other languages?" Klaus asked her, a bit curious.

"I do." Christy said, and turns around to look at him. "I speak ancient languages. My mother taught me how." And slowly walks away from him.

"I know some ancient languages myself." Klaus said, slowly walking after her.

"I'm sure you do." Christy said, glancing at him with a smile.

" 'In bas so-teen-too ara-ma-eet.' " Klaus said, upon stopped walking.

Christy stops walking and turns around to look at Klaus. "What is that?"

Klaus grins, flirtatiously. " 'If only you spoke Aramaic.' "

Christy smiles at Klaus and playfully imitates his British accent. "You're a pain in the arse."

Klaus playfully chuckles and Christy does so as well. And suddenly, the sky turns dark gray and it starts pouring raining.

"Must be Lorena. She's using her dark magic." Christy said.

"You can sense Lorena's dark magic?" Klaus said, and Christy gives him a really look. "Of course you can."

"I have to go." Christy said, walking away.

But Klaus vamp-speeds in front of her. "Christy, Lorena's goading you."

"Like I told you, Lorena's my enemy. It's me she wants." Christy said.

"Do you recall what I promised you when Luna was a newborn, I made a promise that I will always protect you and our daughter from harm." Klaus said.

"And I told you that you shouldn't make a promise you can't keep." Christy said.

"And I intend to keep that promise. Or is the source of your anger is that to avenge your parents?" Klaus said.

Christy looks at Klaus. "You wouldn't understand. Your parents weren't like mine."

"But Ames and Nadia are indeed my parents in laws, so, please, do not pursue Lorena until we conjure up a plan to defeat her." Klaus said to Christy.

"Yeah. Sure." Christy replied.

"Christiana." Klaus said, giving his wife an unconvinced look.

"I won't go after Lorena." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. It stops magically pouring raining and the dark gray sky returns to the normal evening sky.

"I should go, Klaus. It's gonna be evening." Christy said.

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

Christy becomes a bit confused. "What question, Klaus?"

"About the formal dance?" Klaus asked her with a smile.

Christy looks at Klaus and smiles. "And yes, I know how to waltz."

"That's good to know." Klaus said.

"When I was a child, my Dad and I would playfully dance with each other in the living room in my parent's hovel house." Christy said, and fiddles with her necklace. "My Mom told me that her necklace will become mines."

"I'm sure your mother is proud of the woman that you've become." Klaus said with a small smile.

"Yeah. I'm sure she is too." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and she makes her eyes glow blue, and it pouring rain with her magic.

Klaus and Christy exchange playfully chuckles with each other.

" 'Fajib ealaa suali ean alraqast alrasmiati?' " (So, to answer my question to the formal dance?" Klaus asked in Aramaic.

Christy smiles and speaks in an ancient language, and gently cups Klaus's drenched wet face with her hands. " 'In lingua . . . . (In language) . . . . Oui, (yes), Si, (yes), Etiam (yes), yes."

Klaus and Christy exchange smiles at each other and kisses each other, passionately.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That night, in her bedroom, Luna is sitting on her bed, drawing in her drawing pad with her crayons.

Klaus slowly walks into Luna's bedroom. "Hi, Luna. What are you doing up?"

"Just drawing." Luna said.

"You can draw some more in the morning, okay?" Klaus asked his daughter with a small smile.

"Okay." Luna said, putting her drawing pad and crayon box in her crate, beside her bed.

Klaus slowly walks up to her and gently tucks Luna in her bed.

"Daddy? Are you and Mommy gonna stop the bad sorceress lady?" Luna asked, gently holding her plush pink bunny rabbit.

"Of course, sweetheart. And afterwards, you, your mother and I can stroll around in the French Quarter."

Luna smiles. "Love you, Daddy."

"Love you too, Luna. Always and Forever." Klaus said.

Klaus plants a kiss on Luna's forehead, causing her to smile. And he gets up, walking away, and turns off the light switch as he walks out of Luna's bedroom.
