THE BAYOU / CRESCENT MANOR

At 6:00 AM, and the Crescent Wolves are partying with kegs and foods. Sitting up in the round treehouse is Sabrina Cooper-Mikaelson.

{Sabrina's Outfit}

Sabrina looking at everyone enjoying themselves with her drape shawl wrapped around her shoulders.

"What are you doing up here?" Klaus asked his wife, gently leaning on the treehouse railing.

"Nothing much, I'm just enjoying the warm wind." Sabrina said, looking up at him.

"Or are you concerned about the blood red crescent moon?" Klaus asked, pointed out.

"Obvious, isn't it?" Sabrina asked.

Klaus sits down beside Sabrina. "I know you, Sabrina. And I know you try to suppress it, but you're a ripper addict, and it doesn't change anything about the good person that you've always been."

Klaus and Sabrina exchange small smiles at each other. She playfully tosses her drape shawl on him, getting up and scurrying away from him.

Klaus small smiles to himself, slowly getting up to his feet.

Inside the treehouse, Sabrina peeks around the back doorway and slowly walks back out and up to the railing.

Out of nowhere, Klaus stealthy sneaks up behind Sabrina, gently wraps his arms around her waist, with her playfully giggling to herself.

"You know I love it when you run or scurry from me." Klaus said.

"And you always catch me." Sabrina said to him.

Klaus pecks a kiss on her cheek and gently cuddles Sabrina from behind.

"The sun is gonna come up at any minute." Sabrina said.

"Yeah, I know." Klaus said.

Klaus and Sabrina exchange looks at each other and they both walks away, walking down the treehouse stairs.

SLATER'S COFFEE SHOP

Later on that day, Sabrina is sitting at a table with her mug of latte while reading a book.

{Sabrina's Outfit}

Sabrina's phone buzzes on the table. She picks it up and looks at it.

Sabrina small smiles to herself and replies.

"Who's buzzing your phone this morning, Sabrina?" Slater asked, sitting across the table from her.

"Cora HaLe. She and her best friends are having a rager party at their house this evening." Sabrina told him.

"You don't wanna go?" Slater asked.

"I'm just trying to stay off that path, Slater, I went down it once, I don't wanna go down that path again." Sabrina said.

"Sabrina, I know you're scared of becoming your ripper addict again, but it's okay to be scared sometimes." Slater said.

"Eventually, I'll give in to my blood-thirst." Sabrina said, and glances around at the few customers. "Even right now, I can hear everyone's heartbeats, but I'm choosing not to feed."

"See? You can do it, Sabrina. Self-controlling yourself." Slater said.

Slater and Sabrina exchange small smiles at each other.

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY

That afternoon, Sabrina is sitting at the bar counter with her bottle of cider, taking sips of it.

"Will you please leave me alone?" The barmaid said, annoyed, to the drunken man.

"Oh, come on, sweetheart, I just wanna have some fun." The drunken man, flirtatiously.

Sabrina, having had enough, drinks the rest of her bottle of cider, and gets up and walks over to the drunken man.

"She said leave her alone." Sabrina told to the drunken man with an annoyed expression on her face.

"And who the hell are you? A knight in shiny armor?" The drunken man said.

Sabrina grabs his arm and pins his head on the table. "If you bother the barmaid again, I will tear you apart." She threatened the drunken man.

"Alright, alright, I won't." The drunken man said.

Sabrina lets go of the drunken man as he gets back up. "Now, leave. And don't come back."

The drunken man walks away, holding his left arm.

"Thanks." The barmaid thanked Sabrina.

"You're welcome. He won't bother you anymore." Sabrina said.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, the same drunken man slowly wanders around, drinking a bottle of beer. He slowly walks by an alleyway where Sabrina is.

"Getting more drunk, aren't you?" Sabrina asked.

The drunken man looks at Sabrina and gently tosses away his beer bottle. "Whatever."

Sabrina grabs him by his jacket and slings him in the alleyway. She uses her wolf-speed to straddle the drunken man.

"There are guys like you around here in the French Quarter." Sabrina said, makes her eyes glow golden with protruding veins underneath her eyes.

A streetlight from above shows Sabrina's silhouette as she bares her werewolf fangs and feeds on the drunken man's stomach.

HALE HOUSE

A rager party is going on in the main room with electronica music and partygoers. Cora is sitting on the three seat sofa, drinking a margarita.

Sabrina slowly walks inside with blood stains on her clothes and her mouth.

"Sabrina?" Derek said, slowly walks up to her, looking at the blood on her clothes. "What the hell happened?"

"I needed the adrenaline." Sabrina replied. "Do you have any cider?"

"Of course." Cora replied, holding a bottle of cider. "You've come to the party instead, Sabrina."

Cora hands Sabrina a bottle of cider and Sabrina take it, taking a swig of it.

                             after-awhile...

Everyone's dancing along to the electronica music in the living room. Sabrina is sitting atop of a mini bar counter, drinking the rest of her cider.

Sabrina's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Klaus

Sabrina answers her phone. "Hi, Klaus."

"Sabrina? Where are you? You're usually at the compound when I arrive?" Klaus asked on the phone.

"I'm fine, I'm out and about." Sabrina replied.

"Is that electronica music in the background?" Klaus asked on the phone. "Please, don't tell me you're partying with the HaLe Wolves?"

"Klaus? I'm on my way now." Sabrina said, hangs up her phone, and gently leaps off the mini bar counter and walks away.

"Leaving so soon, Sabrina?" Gabe asked, gently leaning sideways on the wall.

"Yeah, I gotta go." Sabrina replied.

"Just admit to yourself, Darling. You miss hanging out with us HaLe Wolves." Gabe said to her.

"I'll see you guys around." Sabrina said, walking away.

And Piper looks at Sabrina. "You still remain the soft ass Timberwolf, Sabrina. You didn't quiet fit in anyway."

Sabrina stopped walking and turns around to look at Piper.

Everyone stops dancing and the electronica music turns off.

"Oh, shit. A cat fight." Colby said.

Piper looks at Sabrina. "What? You act like you're gonna hit me or something, Sabrina. You're not really a badass, you just a wannabe bad girl."

Sabrina small smiles to herself and tackles Piper onto the floor. She and Piper exchange punches to each other's faces.

Derek and Cora walks up to both Piper and Sabrina and pulls them away from each other.

"I'm out of here." Sabrina said, wolf-sped away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later on that night, Sabrina slowly walks inside and looks at Klaus and Elijah. She has a few small bruises on her cheekbone and bottom lip.

"Sabrina?" Klaus said, looking at the dried blood stained on her clothes.

"What happened?" Elijah asked.

"A drunken man was bothering the barmaid at St. James Infirmary. And so, I fed on him until he died." Sabrina told both her husband and brother-in-law.

"Sabrina?" Klaus said, slowly walks up to her.

But Sabrina takes a step back from her husband. "Don't, Klaus. You were right. I'm a ripper addict. There's no trying to suppress it."

Sabrina walks away from Klaus and Elijah, glumly.

"Sabrina?" Klaus said, walking after her.

But Elijah gently puts a reassuring hand on his brother's shoulder. "Leave her be, Niklaus. I have been informed that Astrid Nuova has arrived back in New Orleans."

Klaus and Elijah exchange mildly looks at each other.

NEW ORLEANS WATERFRONT

After cleaning herself up and changing into new clothes, Sabrina has her arms folded, looking at the water.

{Sabrina's Outfit}

"Sabrina?" Klaus said.

Sabrina glances at her husband. "I fed on and killed someone."

"Sabrina?" Klaus said.

"And don't tell me that it wasn't me, because it was." Sabrina said, looking at Klaus. "I get it, Klaus. The bloodshed in the Mikaelson family. I'm not pure. I'm not innocent. I get why you, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol and Freya doesn't want me to turn out to be like you guys. You guys wanna keep me pure, to keep my hands clean. But like I told you, there's a little monster in inside of everyone. Even me."

"You're not a monster, Sabrina, and you will never be." Klaus said, slowly walks up to her. "You know, my family is dysfunctional and lots of Mikaelson family drama that comes along with it. And yes, we've endured some enemies and obstacles along the way, but you, Sabrina. You didn't asked to become a ripper addict, the second you met Derek and Cora, you were introduced to the darkness. But you are, and will always be a good person."

Klaus and Sabrina exchange soften looks at each other. She gently cups his face with her hands and removes her hands from Klaus's face and slowly walks away from him, going back home.
