That same night
at Rousseau's...

Marcalos and Christy are exchanging annoyed looks at each other.

"What are you doing here, Marcalos?" Christy asked him.

"No such thing." Marcalos said. "But I do have to say that I've become impressed with your extraordinary reputation."

"What do you want?" Christy asked Marcalos again with a serious look in her eyes. "You didn't just magically pop up from your underworld lair for a chitchat."

"I'm pretty sure that you already know of my reformed League Rogue warriors." Marcalos said.

"Yeah, I do." Christy replied. "And whatever you're up to, it won't work."

"I'm not worried." Marcalos said. "Although, my daughter, Thalia, has schemes up her sleeves."

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

In the courtyard, Christy is sitting on the stairs. Klaus slowly walks up to her.

"Christiana?" Klaus said.

"This is my fault." Christy said. "At first, it was Marcalos and Lorena, and now, it's Zenith and Thalia and her League Rogue warriors. They're arch-nemesis of my parents, and now, the quarrel extended it to me, and now, to you, to the others, our daughters, my best friends. You guys have my weakness and they will use them as leverage or collateral damage."

"It's not your fault." Klaus said, sitting down beside her on the stairs. "I have enemies as well. But you and I have someone to fight for. Our daughters."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other and he gently holds her hand in his hand.

"Thalia is up to something. She hasn't shown her full hand yet." Christy said to her husband.

"What does Thalia want?" Klaus asked.

"When she had me at her mountain monastery, she said something about my darkness." said Christy.

"maybe, she wants to unleash it once again." Klaus said.

"Yeah, maybe." Christy replied, and gently leans her head on his shoulder. And Klaus gently leans his head on hers. "Darth Christy is still within me."

Klaus and Christy exchange chuckles softly to themselves.

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY

The next morning, Thalia is sitting at a table, eating a plate of food with a fork and with a glass of wine.

{Christy's Outfit}

"Hi, Thalia." Christy greeted her, sitting across from her at the table.

"Morning to you too, Christy." Thalia replied to her.

"You released Zenith from his gloomy realm so, you can have an ally. But knowing you well, you and Zenith have known each other for a long while. I just like my parents and I have known Zenith for a long while." Christy said.

"What do you want, Christiana?" Thalia asked her. "Surely, you're not here to chitchat?"

"I know you're up scheming something, I don't know what it is. Or what Zenith is scheming something." Christy said.

"You and I both know what Zenith is capable of." Thalia said to Christy.

"Yeah, I know. Zenith has his Ravens." Christy said.

"How's your husband, Klaus?" Thalia asked her. "Your husband has a reputation."

"He's fine and he does, but you shouldn't mess with a man's family." Christy said.

Thalia and Christy exchange mildly looks at each other.

"I'll see you around, Thalia." Christy said, getting up and walking away.

LARUE SAFE HOUSE

That afternoon, Freya, Christy, Luna and Trinity are with Nikole, in the living room.

"An old lady witch named Miss. Josephine LaRue used to live here, and you turned her house into a safe house, Mom." Trinity said, sitting at the coffee table, playing with Nikole and her LEGO's."

"Yeah." Christy said. "I still miss her."

"I met Josephine LaRue." Freya said.

"You did, Mommy?" Nikole asked her Mom.

"Yeah." Freya said.

A gentle knock is on the door. Freya and Christy exchange looks at each other. Christy gets up and walks up to the door and opens it.

Klaus and Elijah are there.

"Hey, guys." Christy said.

"Christy, we need to talk." Klaus said, walking inside with Elijah.

"About what?" Christy asked, closing the door behind her.

"About Zenith." Klaus said to her.

"What do you know of him, Christiana?" Elijah asked her. "Other than that Zenith's an vampiric Elder God?"

"Zenith is rebellious, mischievous, menacing and vengeful. He was exiled to his glum realm because he wanted to take my Dad's throne at Mount Orasani. My Dad, Ames, and Zenith had duel over it, and my Dad was successful. In a fit rage, Zenith unleashed his Ravens upon Mount Orasani and almost destroyed it. Until my Mom, Nadia, magically teleported Zenith to his glum realm and it pissed him off even more. Zenith is strong, powerful and is well trained in hand-to-hand and sword combat."

"He visited Mount Orasani and inflicted harm." Klaus said.

"Of course." Elijah said, and looks at Christy. "How do we stop him?"

"I don't know." Christy said. "But Thalia released Zenith from his glum realm and has an alliance with each other. I have to talk to him."

"Christy?" Klaus said.

"I'll be right back." Christy replied.

"I'll go with you." Klaus said.

Christy glances at Freya. "Freya? I'll be back, okay?"

"Alright." Freya said.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other, and gently holds each other's hands. Christy magically disappeared into golden dust.

THALIA'S MOUNTAIN MONASTERY

Klaus and Christy shows up in the main room.

"Zenith?" Christy said.

Zenith uses his vampiric speed to sped into the main room. "Christiana. You still resemble your mother, Nadia. You have her eyes, you might as well be her little mini-me." he added with a chuckle.

"Zenith?" Christy said.

"Maybe, you're pondering about why am I still here at Thalia's mountain monastery? But you shouldn't concern yourself." Zenith said, making his eyes glow purple, thus, creating an purple electric energy orb in his hand and slings it at Klaus, making him fly backwards, hitting the wall and falls on the floor, knocked out.

"Klaus?" Christy said to her husband.

Christy looks at Zenith, making her eyes glow blue, creating an blue electrical energy orb and slings it at him, but he catches it in his hand and makes it disappears.

"Oh, shit." Christy said.

Zenith magically pulls Christy to him in a chokehold and lifts her off her feet. "You should know better, Christy. You cannot defeat me. I'm an Elder God." he added with veins underneath his glow purple eyes and smiles, menacing, his vampiric fangs.

Suddenly, Zenith gasps as a sword is embedded into his stomach from behind, making him let go of Christy as she falls onto the floor.

Klaus gets into Zenith's ear, wielding the sword in his hand. "And you should know better than to mess with my wife."

Zenith falls onto the floor, unconscious.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other and he offers her his hand and she takes it, getting up to her feet.

"Let's get out of here." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy magically disappears into golden dust.

3RD POV

That evening, Shortly afterwards at Thalia's mountain monastery, Zenith slowly slowly regains his conscious and slowly sits up in a kneeling position.

He looks at the sword embedded in his stomach and pulls the blood stained sword out by its hilt in both of his hands, grunting as he does so, pulling it out of him and gently drops it on the carpet floor beside him. His stomach sword wound heals itself.

"Zenith?" Thalia said, having just arrived at her mountain monastery. "What has happened?" She asked, walking up to him and kneels down in front of him.

"Klaus and Christiana were here. The three of us had a small talk, but Christy was pondering why I still remained here at your monastery. We had a little fight and Klaus stabbed me with a sword. I awoke from regaining my conscious." Zenith told Thalia.

"Christy and the Mikaelson's must be onto us. We have to stall them somehow." Thalia said.

Zenith and Thalia exchange looks at each other.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

In the study, Freya is sitting on the sofa, looking at her daughter's, Nikole's, drawings.

"Mommy?" Nikole said.

Freya looks at her daughter, and gently pulls her to him. "Nik? I thought you were asleep, sweetie. Your Dad tucked you in."

"I don't feel so good." Nikolai said.

Freya puts her hand on Nikole's forehead. "You have a fever. My gosh, you're burning up."

"Mommy?" Nikole said, and faints into her mother's, Freya's, arms.

"Nikole?" Freya said, becoming worried. "Mathias?!" She exclaimed for her husband.

shortly afterwards...

In the study, Mathias and Freya are sitting on the sofa with Nikole in her arms.

Keelin is sitting on the coffee table, looking at the thermometer pen in her hand. "Yeah, Nikole definitely has a fever."

Christy looks at Nikole and crouches down to her. "Nikole? Do you trust me, sweetie?"

Nikole nodded. "I trust you, auntie Christy."

Christy offers Nikole her hand, and Nikole gently takes her Christy's hand.

Christy closes her eyes and magically senses Thalia. She opens her eyes and looks at Nikole.

"What is it?" Klaus asked.

"Thalia. Nikole's fever is a magical infliction." Christy said.

"That bitch is using her dark sorceress magic on our daughter?" Mathias said.

"It's not just Nikole." Luna said, making everyone looks at her. "It's Trinity too."

"Zenith must've told Thalia that Klaus and I were there at her mountain monastery, so, she must be scheming something and she's trying to distract us by magically inflicting a fever on both Nikole and Trinity." Christy said.

"So, how do we stop the fever?" Keelin asked.

"I think Thalia's dark magic is what's causing Nikole's and Trinity's fever, so, if we somehow, unlink Nikole and Trinity from Thalia, it will stop the fever." Christy said.

"We're gonna need the Spell of Unknotting." Freya said.
