MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next morning, in the courtyard, Christy is sitting at the table with magical tarot cards.

"Hey, Mommy." Trinity greeted her mom, gently walking down the stairs and into the courtyard.

Christy glanced at her second daughter with a small smile. "Hey, sweetheart."

"Are those your magical tarot cards?" Trinity asked, sitting at the table beside her Mom, holding her plush teddy bear.

"Yeah. I made them myself." Christy replied. "What are you up to?"

"Nothing much." Trinity replied. "Mom? Are you gonna be okay?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'll be fine, Trin." Christy reassured her with a small smile.

"I'm 7. You don't have to sugarcoat it." Trinity said to her Mom with a small smile.

Christy small smiles to herself. "You've been spending time with your older big sister, Luna." she playfully teasing Trinity.

Christy and Trinity exchange small playful chuckles with each other.

"I'll tell you what, Trinity, when you turn 13, I'll train you myself, how about it?" Christy asked.

"Okay, sure, Mom." Trinity said with a smile.

Christy plants a kiss on Trinity's forehead. And the mother-daughter exchange small smiles at each other.

"Hey, Mom." Luna said, slowly walking down the stairs and into the courtyard. "Hey, Trinity."

"Hey, Lu." Christy and Trinity greeted Luna in unison.

"Where's Dad?" Luna asked.

"He's out and about in the French Quarter. But he'll back." Christy said to both Luna and Trinity.

"Hi, guys." Vincent Griffith said.

"Hi, uncle Vincent." Luna and Trinity greeted with a smile.

"Hi, Vincent." Christy said. "How are things in the Lafayette Cemetery?"

"Calm as of right now." Vincent said. "How are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine." Christy replied. "Just lounging around."

"And when I turn 13, Mommy is gonna train me." Trinity said.

"With the wooden swords?" Vincent said.

"Yep." Christy replied, and coughs in her inner arm. And coughs some coughs.

"Mom?" Luna said, worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Christy replied, trying to reassure Luna, but proceeds to cough in her inner arm.

"Christy?" Vincent said.

"Mom?!" Luna and Trinity exclaimed in unison, worriedly.

After-awhile, Klaus slowly walks inside the courtyard. "Where's Christy?"

"She's upstairs." Vincent said.

"Mom just started coughing." Trinity said, sitting on the sofa beside Luna.

"Have you tried the Golden Fleece?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah. But Mom's scab wounds aren't regular wounds." Luna said.

Klaus walks away, walking upstairs and into his and Christy's bedroom. He sees Christy laying on the bed.

"Hi." Christy said.

"Hi." Klaus said, slowly walks up to her and sits down beside her on the bed. "I would asks you if you were okay, but you're not."

"Yeah." Christy replied.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other and gently holds each other's hands.

"So, on a scale of one to ten, how are you really?" Christy asked her husband.

"I'll say about a 75." Klaus replied. "Keelin's on her way."

"Has Marcalos contacted you?" Christy asked.

"Not really no, but I'm pretty sure he will." Klaus said to her. "But you should worry about yourself."

"How can I worry about myself if you guys are in trouble?" Christy asked Klaus.

"I don't want you to use any of your strength. You should conserve your it." Klaus said. "And plus, I know how stubborn you can be."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"I love you, Klaus. Always and Forever." Christy tells him.

"I love you too, Little Enchantress. Always and Forever." Klaus tells her.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Hey, guys." Keelin greeted Klaus and Christy with a small wave.

"Hi, Keelin." Klaus and Christy greeted in unison.

Klaus, Christy and Keelin exchange small smiles at each other.

That evening, in the ballroom, Mathias is gently holding Baby Nikole in his arms. And Little Baby Nikole gently rubs her eyes with her fingers.

"Someone's sleepy, aren't you, Nikole?" Mathias said with a small smile.

"Yeah. She's sleepy." Freya said.

Little Baby Nikole gently rests her head on Mathias's chest, slowly drifting off to sleep.

"I'm gonna put her in her crib." Mathias said, and walks away.

"I'm gonna prepare some more of the herbal concoction for Christy." Freya said to Elijah and slowly walks away.

Klaus and Elijah exchange worried looks at each other.

Suddenly, the fountain magically ignites in flames; and Marcalos's, in his Bat-Winged creature demonic form, shows up.

"Oh my gosh." Freya said, bewildered.

"Klaus Mikaelson. Show yourself?!" Marcalos the Bat-Winged form exclaimed. "Klaus Mikaelson?! I have an offer to propose?!"

Elijah, Vincent, and Freya exchange worried looks at each other.

"Klaus?! Be a good man. Show yourself to me. And my daughter, Thalia, will hand you the antidote to rescue your beloved Christy?!" Marcalos said.

Klaus vamp-speed into the courtyard. "Why does Thalia have the antidote?"

Marcalos looks at Klaus with a wicked grin. "I sent my daughter to retrieve the antidote from the ruins of my fortress of Ida. And I can also sense Christy is fading."

"What is your offer proposal?" Elijah asked.

Marcalos the Bat-Winged creature looks at Elijah. "My offer proposal is simple, Elijah; Klaus will exchange his immortal soul for the antidote."

"This is insane." Freya said.

Marcalos looks at Klaus again, grinning wickedly. "If you want to save your beloved Christy from dying, you will exchange your immortal soul for the antidote." and magically disappears.

Klaus, Elijah and Freya exchange worried looks at each other.

In Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Keelin is examining Christy's scab wounds sitting on the sofa.

"I've never seen scabs wounds like this before." said Keelin.

"Yeah, I know." Christy replied. "My illness isn't ordinary. And yes, I know the scab wounds are gross."

Keelin and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Keelin?" Klaus said.

"Hey, Klaus." Keelin said. "I'll be in the ballroom." she replied, getting up and walks away.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

"How worried should I be?" Christy asked, getting up to her feet and slowly walks up to him. "I know about the offer proposal that Marcalos offered you, you're not gonna do it, are you?"

"To save you? Yes." Klaus said.

And Christy becomes worried.
