- Third POV -

The next day, at the ST. JAMES INFIRMARY, Nora Northman sits at a table with her plate of food. She eats her food with a fork.

Klaus sits down across from her. "Hello, Nora."

"Hello, Klaus." Nora greeted back the Original Hybrid.

"What are you doing here?" Klaus asked.

"Eating." Nora told him, eating another forkful bite of her food.

"Let me rephrase the question, what are you doing here in New Orleans?" Klaus asked, gently folds his arms on the table. "Surely, you and Eric didn't come here to enjoy New Orleans."

"You really think that my husband and I are here under some evil motives?" Nora said with a really expression on her face.

"Maybe, maybe not." Klaus said.

"Klaus? My husband and I, nor our vampire army, are not enemies to you or your family. And besides, whatever business that we have is no concern to you." Nora tells him.

"It's not you or Eric that concerns me, it's your blood-thirsty vampire army of True bloods." said Klaus. "Keep your vampire army in control."

"Like I said, whatever business that Eric and I have, it doesn't concern you or your family. So, please, piss off." Nora said with an attitude.

"Fine." Klaus said and gets up to his feet. "Just keep an eye on your True bloods vampires."

"Eric and I will." Nora said.

And Klaus walks away.

And Nora goes back to eating her plate of food.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

After Klaus arrived back at the compound, he's in the study with Elijah and Ana.

"You just had to confront Nora, didn't you?" Ana asked, sitting on the arm of the armchair.

"I didn't confront Ana. I spoke to her." Klaus said.

"Did she say anything about why she and Eric have come to New Orleans?" Elijah asked.

"No." Klaus replied. "Eric and Nora aren't alone, they have their vampire army of True bloods with them."

"I assume that you and Elijah know Eric and Nora." Ana said.

"You can say that Elijah and I partied with them, and bodies ended up drained of blood and dead." Klaus said.

"Who was more of a wild partier? Eric or Nora?" Ana asked.

"Nora." Elijah said. "And probably still is."

"We might as well leave them alone." Ana said.

"Seriously?" Klaus said.

"Yes, Klaus, seriously." Ana said. "As long as you don't bother Eric, Nora or their True bloods vampires, and they don't bother you, we have nothing to worry about."

"In other words, don't give them a reason to be bothered." Klaus said.

"Exactly." Elijah and Ana both said in unison.

"Fine." Klaus said.

Ana gets up and walks away.

"Where are you going off to?" Klaus asked.

Ana stopped walking and looks at Klaus. "To the Bayou. With Callahan and Keelin at work shifts at the St. Theodora, I can keep an eye on the Crescent Wolves."

"Well, have fun with that." Klaus said.

And Ana walks away.

Klaus gently leans back against the desk.

"Have you spoken to Christy recently?" Elijah asked.

"Not yet." Klaus said. "She's probably preoccupied with her usual meetings."

"Knowing Christy well enough, she'll make some time for you." Elijah said.

"I'm sure she will." Klaus said.

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other. Elijah gets up and walks away.

Elijah gently puts a reassuring hand on his brother's, Klaus's, shoulder and Elijah walks away.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PALACE CONFERENCE ROOM

Later that day, Christy walks inside the conference room where the Imperial captains are sitting at the round table wearing their uniforms.

{Christy Uniform Outfit}

"Captain Christiana. You grace us with your presence." said Majordomo Theseus playful teasing.

The Imperial captains playful chuckles at Theseus's playful tease.

Christy playfully chuckles herself and walks up beside Theseus.

"Thanks for the playful tease, Theseus." Christy said to him.

"It's good to see you too, Milady." Theseus said.

Theseus and Christy exchange playful smiles at each other.

The Elder Goddess, Nadia, walks inside, wearing her usual armor cape gown.

With Christy already standing up, Theseus and the Imperial captains joins her by standing up to their feet.

Christy, Theseus and the Imperial captains bows at Nadia.

"You may be seated." Nadia said, walking over to the throne and takes her sit in it.

Christy, Theseus and the Imperial captains sits back down at the round table.

Nadia nods at her daughter, Christy, and Christy nods back at her mother.

"Theseus? What's the report for today?" The Elder Goddess, Nadia, asked.

"We are on the brink of destroying our enemies." Theseus said.

Everyone exchanges murmurs among themselves.

"Our enemies knows that Mount Orasani has a great reputation of being the most powerful army. Everything we have is what makes us resourceful." Theseus said.

Nadia looks at Demetrio. "Dementrio? With you being head of security and the Orasanian Guards, how is everything?"

"We maintain the security system and the perimeter as always. Even though, our shields have been vulnerability compromised, it has been repaired." Dementrio informed.

With her arms gently on the table, Christy looks at Theseus and whispers to him. "Do we still have the beacon to contact the Great Neighbors?"

And Theseus looks at Christy. "We do. The beacon has been deactivated until necessary."

"Maybe, we should check it out, see if it still works." Christy suggested.

"Theseus? Captain Christiana?" Nadia said. "Is everything alright?"

Theseus looks at Nadia. "Everything's fine, Your Highness. Captain Christiana asked me about our beacon."

Nadia looks at her daughter, Christy. "Do you have something to add, Captain Christiana?"

Christy looks around at Theseus and the Imperial captains, who looks at her.

"Sorry for the disturbance, Your Highness. I'm fine." Christy said.

"Speak your mind, Captain Christiana, what concerns do you have?" Nadia said.

"I mentioned to Theseus about the beacon tower." Christy said.

"What of the beacon, Mrs. Christiana?" Nadia asked.

"I was just wondering if it still worked. Not to bring up the intrusion of attacks that we've had over the past months. According to Theseus, our beacon has been deactivated, so, maybe, we could check on it, to make sure that nothing has happened to it or caused it to be damaged." Christy suggested.

Shortly after . . .

Upon Christy's suggestion about the beacon, The Elder Goddess, Nadia, Theseus, Christy, Dementrio and the Imperial captains slowly walks up to the beacon tower.

"The beacon tower itself can send a signal that reaches our Great Neighbors." Majordomo Theseus said. "It remains undamaged."

"What about the beacon towers that the Great Neighbors have?" Christy said. "They must have a way to contact us, right?"

"You are correct, Milady." Theseus said.

And they all looks up at the beacon tower itself.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PALACE KITCHEN

That afternoon, Christy is sitting at the kitchen countertop with a small bucket of mint ice cream, eating small spoonfuls of it.

Christy's laptop buzzes a video chat. She clicks on it and looks at it.

Video chat : Luna

Christy small smiles and answers her video chat. Luna's face shows up on the laptop video chat screen.

"Hi, Mom." Both Luna and Trinity greeted their mother in unison with a smile.

"Hi, Luna. Hi, Trinity." Christy greeted her daughters. "How are you girls?"

"We're good. We just wanted to see you." Luna said.

"Miss you, Mom." Trinity said.

"I miss you too, sweethearts." Christy said with a small smile. "Where's your father?"

"He's around in the compound." Trinity said. "How have you been, Captain Mom?"

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange chuckles with each other.

"I've been good. I just got out of a meeting with your grandmother, Theseus and the Imperial captains." Christy tells them.

"Oh, okay." Luna said.

"I'm glad you girls called. It's good to see you girls." Christy said.

"It's good to see you too, Mom." Trinity said.

"Tell your father I'll call him later." Christy said. "I gotta go, love you sweethearts."

"We will. And we love you too, Mom." Trinity said.

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small waves though the video chat and Christy hangs up her video chat and closes her laptop.

She goes back to eating her ice cream.

VEK'S AND BASSEA'S DOME APARTMENT

Later that evening, in the living room, Christy is sitting on the couch. Arian is playing with her doll figures and dollhouse.

"So, Vek and I have been thinking about moving into a house." Bassea said, sitting on the arm of the armchair.

"Oh, really?" Christy said. "You have been living here in the dome apartment for a long time. Are you want to move?"

"Yeah, we do." said Vek. "We loved staying here at our dome apartment, but eventually, we need more space."

"Understandable." Christy said. "Do you have a house already?"

"Yeah, we do." Vek said. "I found one. We're gonna move out tomorrow morning."

"Do you guys need some help?" Christy asked.

"Sure. We just have our clothes, drawers, furniture and other stuff." Bassea said.

"Okay. I'm happy for you guys." Christy said.

"Auntie CC." Arian said, gently leaping on her Christy's lap.

"Hi, Arian." Christy greeted her with a small smile.

Arian giggles as Christy pecks kisses on both her cheeks.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PALACE MAIN ROOM

That night, Christy is sitting at the table, writing down some notes in her binder.

Klaus magically appears as an astral projection using the crystal prism.

"You always do look stunning in your uniform." said Klaus.

Christy looks at her husband with a small smile. "Hi to you too, Hon. You're using the crystal prism."

Klaus glances at the crystal prism in his hand. "It is very handy."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. He walks over to her and sits down at the head of the table.

"Luna and Trinity passed on your message upon making a phone call, so, I thought about meeting you as an astral projection. Even though, I'm not really here." Klaus said.

"It's good to see you, Klaus." Christy said. "So, what's been going on back at home?"

"Old acquaintances, Eric and Nora Northman are in the French Quarter." Klaus tells her.

"Are you old pals with them or something?" I asked.

"Elijah and I met them long ago. They have an army of True blood vampires." Klaus tells her.

"And you've grown suspicious of them." Christy said.

"Elijah, Ana and myself has." Klaus said. "But for some reason, I have a bad feeling about Eric and Nora. Why are they really in the French Quarter?"

"What are you and Elijah gonna do?" Christy asked.

"Elijah told me to leave it alone and to not give Eric and Nora a reason to be bothered." Klaus said.

"But knowing you, you're not gonna let it go." Christy said. "Are you sure you're not paranoid about Eric and Nora?"

"I'm not paranoid, Love. Eric and Nora Northman have arrived in New Orleans. They're from out of town." Klaus said.

"How many True blood vampires do you think are with Eric and Nora?" Christy asked.

"I don't know yet." Klaus asked. "Do you remember Tristan, Aya and The Strix?"

"Yeah." Christy said.

"Well, I estimate that Eric and Nora and the True blood vampires are the same count." Klaus said.

"Do you need any help from me?" Christy asked.

"Can you multitask?" Klaus asked.

"Sure." Christy replied. "I don't have much to do. Just some meetings and visit some of my buddies."

"Alright, then. Elijah and I will call you whenever we need your assistance." Klaus said.

"Alright." Christy said. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. And he magically disappears.
