MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, in Klaus's and Christy's room, Christy is asleep in bed, with the bedcover covering her.

Christy slowly awakens and gently pats beside her where Klaus is supposedly sleeps, but he's not there.

She tiredly sits up straight with the bedcover covering the lower half of her body. "Klaus?"

Klaus slowly walks inside with a mug of caramel latte. "Hi."

"Hey." Christy greeted her husband. "Where's Luna and Trinity?"

"With Nikole at Mount Orasani. Hagarth's with the three of them." Klaus replied, handing her the mug.

And she gently takes it in her hands. "Thanks." And takes a swig of her caramel latte.

"You're welcome." Klaus said, sitting down on the side. "And I have something for you."

Klaus pulls out a fleurs de lis necklace with a green gem from jeans pocket.

"Klaus?" Christy said, becoming an awe at the necklace. "It's beautiful."

"I've been meaning to give this to you, but we've been occupied with other things, and then, with the battle of Thassaedion, but now, I can gift this to you." Klaus said, and puts it around Christy's neck. "It's also a pendant necklace by the way."

"I love it, Klaus, I really do." Christy said with a smile.

"I'm glad you love it." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Ames and Nadia are here in the ballroom. And they want to talk to about something." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

⚜️⚜️

Christy slowly walks inside the ballroom and sees her parents, Ames and Nadia, wearing casual clothes.

"Mom? Dad?" Christy said.

"Hey, sweetheart. I'm sure that Klaus has told you that your father and I we were here." Nadia said.

"Yeah, he did." Christy said, and slowly walks up to her parents. "Is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine." Ames reassured his daughter. "Your mother and I talked about a few things."

"Just spit out." Christy said.

"The battle Thassaedion was your last battle fight." Ames said to her.

"What? You guys don't want me in battle fights anymore?" Christy asked, bewildered.

"Christiana? You're a wife and a mother. Your husband needs his wife and your daughters needs their mother." Nadia said to Christy.

Christy sits down on the sofa. "You guys want me to put my bronze sword down, don't you?"

"Yes." Ames and Nadia said in unison.

"But you're still be able to do mission tasks." Nadia said.

"Okay." Christy said.

Ames, Nadia, and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. Ames and Nadia teleports away in golden dust.

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

Elijah

Christy answers her phone. "Elijah?"

"Hi, Christiana. Have you seen Niklaus?" Elijah asked on the phone.

"Earlier this morning." Christy tells her brother-in-law. "Why? What's wrong?"

"I've phone called him and he hasn't returned my phone call. I'm worried about him." Elijah said.

"I'll phone call him, make sure he's okay." Christy said.

"Alright." Elijah said, hangs up his phone.

And Christy phone calls Klaus.

"Christy?" Klaus said.

"Klaus? Where are you? Elijah's worried about you." Christy asked her husband.

"I'm at St. James Infirmary. I needed a drink." Klaus tells her on the phone.

"You could've told Elijah that." Christy said, and becomes worried. "Klaus? I have this unsettling vibe from you. Stay where you are, I'm coming to you."

Christy hangs up and gets up, walking away.

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY

Later on that day, Klaus is sitting at the bar counter, drinking bourbon. Christy walks inside, but stops upon seeing five dead bodies laying around on the floor.

"Klaus?" Christy said.

"Stay there, Chris. I don't want to hurt you." Klaus tells his wife.

"Klaus, honey, what's going on?" Christy asked her.

"I feel off." Klaus replied, taking another swig of his bourbon. "Ever since, I fed on your blood, I feel off."

"What do you mean 'off'?" Christy asked, and glances at the five dead bodies laying on the floor with puncture wounds on their necks. "Klaus? What did you do?"

"I couldn't stop myself. I was just... hungry." Klaus said.

"Klaus? Come with me. And I'll take you home." Christy said, taking a step forward.

And Klaus becomes aggravated and slings his half empty drinking glass on the floor. "I said stay back?!"

"Klaus? Show me your inner foreman." Christy said.

Klaus looks at Christy and gently rolls up his left jacket sleeve, revealing an 'M' on his left inner forearm.

"When I awakened this morning, I saw it. The first thing I heard was your heartbeat. I didn't wanna hurt you, so, I left." Klaus said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Christy asked him, worriedly.

"You're always saving me from Marcalos." Klaus replied. "I'll asks Freya."

"Freya doesn't know Marcalos like I do." Christy said, slowly walks up to him and gently puts her hand on his shoulder. "Just come home with me and we'll fix this, okay?"

"Chris?" Klaus said.

And Christy gently caress his cheek with her hand, causing Klaus to look at her. "You're my husband and I love you. So, please, Klaus?"

Klaus nodded. "Alright."

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That late afternoon, in the courtyard, Klaus and Christy are sitting at the table. He has his long sleeve rolled up and with an red 'M' on his left inner forearm.

"Is there a way to burn this thing off?" Klaus asked.

"You're suggesting a hot iron poker?" Christy asked.

"Obviously." Klaus said.

"Marcalos is the person that can remove it himself." Christy said.

"Can we summon him?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah." Christy said.

Shortly afterwards...

Klaus and Christy are at the fountain. She makes her eyes glow blue, and creates a magical flame.

"Marcalos. I summon thee." Christy summoned the Elder God of the Underworld.

Suddenly, Marcalos shows up in his Devil bat-winged form and looks at Christy. "Hello, Christiana. To what do I asks?"

"I want you to remove your carved M off of my husband's inner foreman." Christy tells him.

"And what if I do not?" Marcalos asked.

"I'll kill you. Instantly." Christy threatened him.

"You dare threaten an Elder God of Underworld, Christiana?" Marcalos exclaimed.

"Yeah. And I just did, you asshole. So, remove your 'M' off my husband. Now?!"Christy exclaimed with a serious expression on her face.

Marcalos looks at Klaus and snaps his fingers. Klaus groans in slight pain.

"Klaus?" Christy said. "Are you okay?"

Klaus looks at his inner left forearm, and the red M disappears. He looks at Christy. "It's gone. I'm okay."

Christy looks up at Marcalos. "You can leave now."

Marcalos vanishes.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Did you just threaten Marcalos?" Klaus asked, slowly walks up to her. "The Elder God of the Underworld?"

"Yeah, I did. And I'm not scared of him, Klaus. And by the way, you're welcome." Christy said.

"Thanks." Klaus thanked.

Christy small smiles at him. Suddenly, snow swirls up; Chandrelle is there.

"Hey, Chandrelle." Christy greeted her.

"Hello, Christiana." Chandrelle greeted back and looks at Klaus with a nod. "Klaus."

"Hi." Klaus greeted her. "Have we met?"

"I don't think so, but nice to meet you again." Chandrelle said.

"Chandrelle? What is it?" Christy asked.

"I may need your assistance." Chandrelle said.

"Is it The Ivory Realm?" Christy asked.

"No, it is not, but I will let you know." Chandrelle said.

"Alright." Christy said. "And Chandrelle?"

"What is it, Christiana?" Chandrelle asked.

"Tell your parents I said "Hi"." Christy said.

"I will." Chandrelle said, and disappears in snow.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, Christy slowly walks up to the doorframe of Trinity's room. Luna and Trinity are asleep on the bed with the blanket covering them. Meek the Meerkat is asleep in his impenetrable rectangle box.

After changing on her daughters, Christy slowly walks away, walking inside Klaus's and hers room.

Klaus is sitting on the sofa and Christy sits down beside him.

"Klaus? What happened at the St. James Infirmary?" Christy asked her husband.

"I don't know. I just heard their heartbeats of the customers and I had this hunger." Klaus said.

"That carved 'M' made you do those things." Christy said to him. "I need a drink."

"So do I." Klaus said, getting up and walks over to the drinking table.

"What did you and your parents talk about?" Klaus asked.

"I didn't know that the battle of Thassaedion was my last battle fight." Christy said to her husband.

Klaus looks at Christy, a bit surprised, gently hands her a bourbon. "Ames and Nadia doesn't want you battle fights anymore?"

"Yep." Christy replied, gently taking the bourbon from him. "They want me to put my bronze sword down."

"Do you want to?" Klaus asked, slowly walks back over to her and sits back down on the sofa beside her. "Put your sword away?"

"Maybe." Christy replied, taking a swig of her bourbon. "My parents wants me to put my sword away and be a wife to you and be a mother to Luna and Trinity."

"Do you?" Klaus asked.

"I don't know, Klaus." Christy replied. "I get it, my parents wants me to focus on being a wife and a mother. But I know, you, Luna and Trinity are worried about me not coming back home or be bruised up."

"I get it too. But it's your choice." Klaus said to her

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other. He pecks a kiss on her cheek and gets up, walking away.

And Christy ponders to herself, folding her arm and gently holds her half empty small drinking glass of bourbon.
