Day Two of the fight between Christy vs Zoi
MIKAELSON
COMPOUND
The next day, in the upstairs Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy is sitting on the bed in a cross-legged sitting position, gently fiddling with her silver fleurs de-lis necklace.

Christy just sits there, quietly. Klaus gently crawls on the bed and pecks a kiss on her right cheek.
"Hey, Hon." Christy greeted her husband.
"You gently fiddle with your necklace whenever you ponder about something." Klaus said, sitting on the bed. "And yes, I've noticed."
"I'm fine." Christy said.
Klaus pecks a kiss on her right cheek and pecks a small kiss on the side of her neck, causing her to playful chuckles and he stops.
Christy looks at Klaus with a small smile. "Morning kisses, how romantic of you."
Klaus and Christy shares a kiss. Klaus's phone buzzes in his pants pocket. He takes out his phone and looks at it.
Marcel
Klaus answers his phone and gently sits on the bed. "Marcel?"
"I'm with Charlotte Petrova. I thought you should know that she doesn't have much time." Marcel told Klaus on the phone.
"I'm on my way." said Klaus, and hangs up his phone and looks at Christy. "Charlotte's borrowed extended hours are up."
"Okay, let's go watch her go up in flames." Christy said.
Klaus and Christy exchange small smirks at each other.

ABANDONED TRAIN DEPOT
Klaus and Christy arrived and slowly walks inside. They exchange looks with Marcel.

"Christy? Should you be training some more of your tomorrow morning fight?" Marcel asked.
"I think I've done enough training for now, Marcel." Christy said. "What about the blood bags that Charlotte took?"
"I gave them back to the blood bank." Marcel told her.
"Well, well, the Epic Love Soulmates were strained and now, it is repaired again." Charlotte said, sitting on the bench.
Christy slowly walks up to the iron cell gate. "Why Charlotte? Why destroy my husband's life?"
"Are you seriously gonna ask me that?" Charlotte said with a really expression on her face. "Klaus isn't the man that you want him to be. Sure, he's charmingly handsome, but that's how he draws you in."
Christy and Charlotte exchange looks at each other. And Charlotte gets up and slowly walks up to the iron cell gate.
"Do you have any idea what it's like to lose someone?" Charlotte asked Christy. "To have your happiness ripped away from you all because your husband wanted to spread fear in others?"
"Yeah, I do know what it's like to someone close to me. I've had my fair shares of lost, but I move forward with my life." Christy tells Charlotte.
Charlotte scoffs, annoyed, and slowly steps away as she starts to steam.
Christy slowly backs away, standing next to Marcel.
Charlotte looks at herself as she starts to steam. She looks at Klaus, Christy and Marcel.
"This has been so much fun." Charlotte said with a grin and she bursts into flames and flames out.
"Well, good riddance to her." Marcel said.
"Yeah." Christy said.

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY
Later that day, in the half-empty jazz club with a few bartenders and barmaids, Christy is sitting at the bar counter with her bottle of Ale, taking sips of it.
Her wrist comm buzzes in her pants pocket. She takes out her wrist comm and presses the 'Green' button.
Zoi's face appears on the wrist comm screen. "Hello, Christiana."
"Zoi?" Christy said.
"Hologram me." Zoi said.
Christy gets up from the bar counter, taking her ale with her. She walks out of the jazz club and into a nearby alleyway.
Christy presses another button, which Zoi appears in front of her as a hologram.
"What the hell do you want, Zoi? Christy asked.
"I wanted to speak with you about our fight tomorrow morning. I hope you're prepared for your humiliation." Zoi taunted Christy.
"Do your worst, I can take whatever you aim at me." Christy tells Zoi with a straight face.
Zoi slowly steps up to Christy with a serious expression on her face. "I will destroy you in front of the eyes of your parents and all of the Orasanians citizens. And once I win, the Orasanian citizens will never chant your name with such fondness."
"I'm sorry, is that supposed to scare me, because it doesn't, Zoi." Christy tells her with a straight face. "I'll be ready for you tomorrow morning. I'll kick your ass in front of your husband and the ShangQui henchmen and henchwomen."
"We will see who wins tomorrow morning's fight, Christiana." Zoi said.
Christy and Zoi exchange tense looks at each other and Zoi's hologram disappears as she hangs up.
Christy sighs to herself and takes another swig of her ale as she walks back inside the jazz club.

MIKAELSON MPOUND
After returning back home, Christy is reclining on the sofa, reading a book.
Klaus slowly walks inside and walks over to the bar counter and pours himself a bourbon.
"Are you really reading that book? Or are you just staring at the words on the pages?" Klaus asked.
"I'm on chapter three already, besides, reading is good for your mind." Christy said.
Klaus slowly walks over to her and sits down next to her on the sofa. "Chris?"
"Zoi contacted me on my wrist comm a few minutes ago." Christy tells him.
"And I assume that she said some things to rattle your nerves, knowing about your fight with her tomorrow morning." Klaus hinted.
"Something like that, but don't worry, I am focused on the fight." Christy reassured him.
"Take your boots off." Klaus said.
Christy gently takes off her ankle boots and gently sets them down on the coffee table.
Klaus gently massages both her feet with his hands.
"Did Zoi say anything else?" Klaus asked.
"She said that she was gonna embarrass me in front of my parents and all of the Orasanian citizens. But that's just nonsense bullshit." Christy tells him.
"Like I said, she was just trying to work you up, but it didn't work." Klaus said.
"Nope, it didn't." Christy said.
Klaus humorously tickles Christy's feet, causing her to laugh. And then, he stopped.
Klaus and Christy exchange playful looks at each other and she small smiles at him.
"Thanks, Hon. I needed that little laugh." Christy thanked him.
"Get some sleep, you're gonna need it." Klaus said, getting up and slowly walks behind the sofa and he crouches down next to Christy. "You're a strong warrior, Christy, never forget that. I'm always in your corner."
Klaus pecks a kiss on Christy's right cheek and gets up, walks away.
