Chapter Twenty-Four

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next morning, in the courtyard, Christy is sitting at the table with a bowl of cereal, eating small spoonfuls of it.

{Christy's Outfit}

Klaus stealthy walks up behind her and gently puts an invitation card on the table in front of her.

CHARITY GALA PARTY
Masquerade Attire
Cocktails, drinks, food, and entertainment. This evening.
-See you there. Love you both. Ames and Nadia

"Be my plus one this evening?" Klaus asked, he gently puts his hands on her shoulders.

"Of course." Christy said.

Klaus pecks a kiss on her cheek, which causes her to chuckle. He walks around her and sits at the head of the table.

"Luna and Trinity are at the Camp Orasani?" Christy asked.

"They are." Klaus replied. And looks at the cereal box. "Fruit Loops? Seriously? What are you a child?"

"What? I love cereal." Christy said.

Klaus just chuckled softly to himself. "How is everything at Mount Orasani?"

"Everything's good and there's been some repairs to the damage caused by Takeshi's Ninja henchmen and hench-women." Christy told him, eating another small spoonful of her cereal.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Anything on the Redheaded bitches, Genevieve and Aurora?" Christy asked.

Klaus chuckled softly to himself. "They're both smart enough to know that they're being traced with magic. And Elijah and Marcel are aiding each other with resurrected The Strix."

"The Strix have 24 hours before they burst into flames and flame out and return back to the Marcalos's Underworld Palace. And plus, Genevieve and Aurora are on borrowed hours as well." Christy said.

"Both Genevieve and Aurora are scared of Marcalos, knowing exactly what he's capable of." Klaus said.

"This is the French Quarter, Genevieve and Aurora must be somewhere." Christy said.

"Genevieve cloaked herself and Aurora." Klaus said.

"I can use my magic to uncloak the location." Christy said. "I'm gonna need a map."

⚜️⚜️

Shortly after, Christy has a map on the table. She gently sprinkles some black sand on the map. Making her eyes glow blue, she small waves her hand over the map.

The black sand magically moves itself around on the map until it forms a small circle around a location in the woods.

"It's an old carpenter's shop." Christy said and looks at Klaus. "We can check it out."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other

IN THE WOODS

Later that day, Klaus, Elijah and Christy slowly walks through the woods, looking around.

Christy looks at the carpenter's shop up head of them. "Klaus? Elijah?"

Both Klaus and Elijah slowly walks up on either side of her.

"There's a carpenter's shop up head." Christy said, and senses something off. "And we're being watched."

"By who?" Klaus asked.

"Or what?" Elijah asked.

"Don't know." Christy told the Mikaelson Brothers.

Suddenly, 13 Ninja henchmen and hench-women pops up from the ground, surrounding Klaus, Elijah and Christy, readying their swords.

"Did you really think that it would be that easy?" Aurora asked with a sly grin, slowly walks out from nowhere.

"You have really gotten on my nerves, Aurora." Christy said to Aurora annoyed. And slowly walks up to her. "But I can guess that you and Genevieve are on borrowed hours before you both burst into flames and flame out, going back to Marcalos's Underworld Palace."

Aurora takes out her pistol and aims it at Christy.

"Chris?" Klaus said.

"It's alright." Christy reassured her husband and slowly walks up to Aurora with the pistol to Christy's chest. "I assume that Marcalos resurrected you, hoping that you would try to rekindle your old romance with my husband, Klaus. Or even put a wedge in our marriage. And I admit . . ." She trailed off and looks at Klaus. ". . . It has worked."

Klaus looks at Christy with a glum expression on his face.

"But Klaus and I have always known that he and I find our way back to each other and restrengthen our strong bond." Christy said.

And Klaus small smiles to himself.

And Christy looks at Aurora again. "But you, Aurora, you're just a jealous bitch because Klaus has moved on with his life and settled down. And you're just pissed off because you have lost the only man, other than your older brother, Tristan, that has kept you sane. And you've been used a pawn for Marcalos whenever he resurrects you."

Aurora becomes teary and upset. "I know that you keep Nik sane, but the moment he loses you, his whole life will crash and burn."

Christy disarms Aurora and punches her in her face. She makes her eyes glow blue as she turns around to her husband and brother-in-law.

And the 13 Ninjas lunges at them.

"Klaus? Elijah? Get down." Christy told them.

And Klaus and Elijah gets down onto the ground and Christy uses her energy blasts to destroy the 13 Ninjas, disintegrating them.

Klaus and Elijah both gets back up to their feet.

Christy and Aurora exchange tense looks at each other.

With her eyes still glowing blue and a scowl expression on her face, Christy magically summons Aurora to her with her hand on her face.

"Christy?" Klaus said, becoming worried.

Black veins appears on Aurora's arms, neck, and face as Christy uses her magic to disintegrate her.

"Christy?" Elijah said, also becoming worried.

Aurora yelps out in agony pain as Christy continues using her magic to disintegrate her and Aurora burst into blue flames, vanishing.

Christy makes her eyes back to normal green eyes and looks at Klaus and Elijah.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That late afternoon, Klaus, Elijah and Christy had arrived back at the compound.

Christy gently takes off her backpack and gently sets it down on the desk.

"Christy?" Klaus said, still concerned. "Are you alright?"

Christy looks at both Klaus and Elijah. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"So, Aurora is gone?" Elijah said.

"She's gone. I made sure of it." Christy said a stern expression on her face.

And which Klaus and Elijah both notices her stern look on her face and a slight change in her demeanor.

"I need a drink." Christy said, pouring herself a small drinking glass of bourbon.

"With Aurora now gone, there's Genevieve and The Strix." said Klaus.

"I'll handle The Strix, we've defeated them once, we can do so again." Elijah said.

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other.

Christy takes a swig of her bourbon but suddenly, she feels lightheaded and drops her bourbon on the carpet floor.

Christy collapses onto the carpet floor, having a seizure with her eyes milky-white.

"Christy?!" Klaus exclaimed.

Both Klaus and Elijah goes to a seizure-ing Christy.

"Christy?!" Klaus exclaimed, worried and gently cups her face with his hand.

Christy continues to have a seizure with her eyes milky-white as she glimpses herself as her dark alter ego, Dark Enchantress, standing atop of a pile of smashed vehicles, wearing her dark green attire, with her eyes glowing red, glowing green veins on her face, the sky is orange and her shoulder length blonde hair is flowing.

Christy stops seizure-ing and she becomes still with her eyes still milky-white.

"Christy?" Klaus said.

Klaus and Elijah exchange worried looks at each other and Christy again.

"Chris?" Klaus said.

And then, Christy gasps and her eyes turns back to normal green eyes and she becomes frantic.

"Christy?" Elijah said.

Christy looks at both Klaus and Elijah. "Klaus? Elijah?"

"Are you okay?" Elijah asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Christy reassured them both.

Klaus gently pulls her up straight and they hug. Elijah gently puts a reassuring hand on her back.

⚜️⚜️

Minutes after, in Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy looks at her dress on her room divider.

"We don't have to go to the charity gala if you don't want to." Klaus said, slowly walks inside.

"It's okay, we can still go." Christy said.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Klaus asked, still concerned. "You scared the hell out of me?"

Christy looks at Klaus worried herself. "When I had a seizure, I saw a glimpse of my dark alter ego."

"Your Dark Enchantress." Klaus said.

Christy nodded. "What if my seizure was my dark alter ego trying to resurface itself again?"

"If it does remerge itself, we'll deal with it together." Klaus said to her.

"Okay." Christy said.

"You look amazingly beautiful." Klaus complimented with a small smile.

Christy looks at her husband and small smiles at him. "Thanks." And glances at Klaus's dark tie suit. "You look amazing handsome yourself."

"Thanks." Klaus thanked her.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"How about a dance?" Klaus asked, gently offering his hand to her.

And Christy gently takes his hand. "Sure."

Klaus and Christy slowly walks to the middle of the floor where other partygoers are slow-dancing.

Klaus gently puts his hand in Christy's hand and gently wraps his arm around her waist. She gently puts her hand on his shoulder.

"By the way, you don't have to keep an eye on me, I'm fine." Christy said to him.

"I know, you scared me. Seeing you have a seizure like that. Your eyes weren't normal. It just worried me." Klaus said to her.

"I'm sorry that my seizure scared you." Christy apologized to him.

"It's alright." Klaus reassured her. "It's just that unexpected things could happen."

"I know." Christy said.

"Let's cherish this moment." Klaus said.

Klaus gently twirls Christy around and gently spins her around and gently puts her back down on the floor with them both chuckling.

⚜️⚜️

Minutes after, Christy slowly wanders around in the pillar hallway.

"Christiana?" Nadia said to her daughter.

Christy stopped walking and turns around to look at her mother. "I know that you know about my seizure, I'm okay, Mom."

"Okay." Nadia said.

Nadia and Christy exchange small smiles at each other Christy walks away.

"Thanks. You look amazing yer self." Hagarth said.

"You know I love you, right?" Christy said.

"Course I do, I luv you too, Christiana." Hagarth said. "Well, enjoy the rest of the party."

"You too, big buddy." Christy said.

And Hagarth walks away.

At the grand staircase, Christy is gently leaning on the balcony railing. Klaus slowly walks up next to her and at the balcony railing.

"Almost ready to go?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah, I am." Christy replied.

"Something's on your mind, Love?" Klaus asked.

"I barely knew you, but I liked you and you didn't know why." Christy said.

"I remember." Klaus said.

- Flashback -

In the study at the Mikaelson Compound, Klaus is at the bookshelves, looking for something.

"Looking for something?" Christy asked, sitting behind the desk.

Klaus stopped what he was doing and turned around and looked at her. "What are you doing here, Christy?"

"I'm out and about and wanted to visit." Christy told him.

Klaus slowly walks up to her and gently takes the book that she was reading.

"Romeo and Juliet. Such a romantic tragedy." Klaus said.

"Yeah, it is." Christy said.

Klaus gently puts her book back down on the desk and looks at Christy. "You barely know me, yet, you have an affection for me. What is it about me that's peeked your interest?"

Christy looks up at him with a soft expression on her face. "You're mysteriously complicated."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other. He just small smiles to himself and walks away and she small smiles to herself.

- Present Day -

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"I figured that you had sympathy for me after learning more about me. You psychoanalyzed me. You still do sometimes." said Klaus.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"It's getting late, we should go home." Christy said.

Later that night, Christy slowly walks inside Klaus's and hers bedroom and notices a canvas painting of herself wearing her flower headdress and her dusty rose gown with a blue background.

"I painted it after I saw you when I was an astral projection." said Klaus and slowly walks inside.

"I love it." Christy said, and looks at her husband. "You love painting me, don't you?"

"I do." Klaus replied and slowly walks up to her. "You're my golden light in my darkness, Christy, and always will be."
