{Christy's Pajamas}

Klaus is sitting in the armchair, observing his sleeping wife, worriedly.  And his supernatural hearing picks up the conversation with Elijah and Nadia in the study.

In the study, Elijah and Nadia are discussing Christy's current illness.

"Christy's sick. At first, it was nose bleed. But now, she's gonna have fever." Nadia said.

"Is there a way to heal Christy's illness?" Elijah asked Nadia.

"It is, there's a antidote for it." Nadia said.

"Where is the antidote?" Elijah asked.

"It's in the ruins of Fortress of Ida." Nadia tells him. "But you have to retrieve it first, or Marcalos will, and he will use as leverage."

After listening to Elijah's and Nadia's conversation about an antidote to heal Christy's illness, Klaus becomes both relieved and worried upon looking at Christy as she sleeps.

afterwards...

Klaus and Elijah slowly walks pass each other, but stops upon looking at each other.

"Niklaus?" Elijah said.

"I need you to stay here with Christy, to check on her, make sure she doesn't overexert herself." Klaus said.

"Nadia said that there's an antidote for Christiana's illness. It's located in the ruins of Fortress of Ida." Elijah said.

"I know. I used my supernatural hearing." Klaus said, walks by him.

And Elijah gently grabs Klaus's arm, making him look at him. "Let me retrieve it."

"Elijah?" Klaus said.

"Your wife needs you, and your daughters need their father." Elijah said.

"Alright then." Klaus said. "Don't go alone."

"I won't. Nadia will accompany me." Elijah said.

Klaus and Elijah exchange gentle nods with each other and Elijah slowly walks away.

Christy, Luna and Trinity are sitting at a table with their cookies and cream milkshakes.

{Christy's Outfit}

"This cookies and cream milkshake is really good." Christy said, sipping on her milkshake.

"Glad you like it, Mom." Luna said.

"I know your Dad is up to something and you two are trying to distract me." Christy said to her daughters. "So, what do you two know?"

"Dad told us that you're sick." Luna said, worriedly. "And so, Uncle Elijah is with grandma Nadia to the ruins of Fortress Ida."

"Yeah." Trinity said. "How about some chicken noddle soup to strengthen you up when we get home, Mommy?" She asked.

"And some orange juice?" Luna said.

"Chicken noodle soup with orange juice?" Trinity said, and makes a disgusted face. "Ew."

"You're not the one that's gonna eat it or drink it." Luna bantered with Trinity.

"Still. It sounds a little bit gross." Trinity bantered back with Luna. "How about a kale smoothie?" She suggested.

"How about kale smoothie? And orange juice for laters?" Luna said.

"Okay." Trinity said.

Christy looks at her daughters as they bantered with each other and playfully chuckles with each other.

"It's amazing how you two have your sisterly banter." Christy said with a playful chuckle.

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small smiles at each other and sips on their cookies and cream milkshakes.

3RD POV

Elijah and Nadia are slowly walking inside the ruins of Fortress of Ida.

"There aren't any traps?" Elijah asked.

"Such as ancient booby traps, Elijah?"Nadia said. "Not really. And by the way, I'm sorry about you and Gia. I know you loved each other."

"As I loved her. Gia's an amazing young woman. All I want for her to be happy." Elijah said.

"She is with Maximus." Nadia said. "But I'm also happy that you and Gia are buddies."

Elijah and Nadia exchange small smiles at each other. And Elijah looks at a ancient runic jar.

"Is that where the antidote is?" Elijah asked Nadia.

Nadia looks at the ancient runic jar slowly floating in the air. She walks up to it and her hand magically penetrates the shield, thus, taking the ancient runic jar in her hand.

Nadia puts her hand inside the Ancient Greek runic jar, but the jar is empty.

"Oh, no." Nadia said, worriedly.

"What is it?" Elijah asked, slowly walks up to her.

"It's gone." Nadia said, pulling her hand out of the jar. "The antidote to heal Christy's illness is gone."

"So, that must assume that Marcalos has taken it." Elijah said.

Elijah and Nadia exchange worried looks at each other.

That evening, in the courtyard, in the dining room, Christy is sitting at the dining table, finishing up her bowl of chicken noodle soup.

"Chicken noodle soup?" Marcel asked, slowly walks inside the dinning room. "Sounds good."

"Yeah. Courtesy of Luna and Trinity." Christy said. "There was a can of chicken noodle soup in the cabinet."

"How are you?" Marcel asked.

"I'm fine." Christy replied. "I assume that you know of my illnesses scab wounds?"

"Yeah, I do. Trinity told me on the phone." Marcel said, sitting at the dinning table with her. "Josh, Vincent, Gia and I are worried about you."

"I know." Christy replied. "Marcel?"

"If you're about to say something heartfelt, don't." Marcel said. "You're gonna be alright. For Luna and Trinity. And for Klaus."

Marcel and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Yeah." Christy said, slowly getting up to her feet, but loses her balance, and Marcel vamp-speeds to her. "I'm okay."

"You sure?" Marcel asked, worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Christy said, and looks at her right hand, which has three scab wounds on the back of her hand. "Oh, crap."

Marcel and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

In the courtyard, Freya is feeding her daughter, Baby Nikole, her baby bottle of milk, sitting in a chair.

"Hey, Momzy Freya." Christy said, sitting down on the sofa.

"Hi, Christy." Freya said. "And Mathias is with Vincent at the Lafayette Cemetery."

"You're a good mom, Freya. And Mathias is a good father." Christy said to her.

Freya looks at Christy, worriedly. "Christy, you're gonna be okay. Elijah and Nadia will retrieve the antidote and you'll be fine."

Elijah and Nadia magically shows up in golden dust.

"Elijah? Mom?" Christy said.

Nadia becomes worried, which makes Christy worried as well.

"Mom? Elijah?" Christy said.

"The antidote's gone. I put it safely a magical shield in the ruins of Fortresses of Ida. Somehow, Marcalos has it." Nadia said.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other. And Christy sighs to herself.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, In the study, Christy is sitting on the sofa, glumly spaced out, taking a swig of her orange juice with Mathias's herbal concoction.

Klaus slowly walks inside the study. "Christy?"

"I should've known that Marcalos would take the antidote. He's gonna leverage it. I just know it." Christy said.

"I suggest we leverage Marcalos." Klaus said.

"You can't leverage Marcalos. He can't be leveraged. He's vengeful, Klaus." Christy told her husband.

"Is Marcalos so vengeful that he wouldn't do anything for his daughter, Thalia?" Klaus asked, sitting on the sofa beside her.

"Klaus?" Christy said to him. "Don't."

"It can be a plan B." Klaus said.

"Klaus?" Christy said.

"Okay, fine. But I'm not gonna sit here and watch you slowly die." Klaus said to her, worriedly.

"I'll be fine, Klaus." Christy said, trying to reassure him with a small smile, gently cupping his face with her hands. "Just save a dance."

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other and gently leans their foreheads on each other's.

"I'm not gonna lose you, Christiana." Klaus said. "I'm not."
