Chapter Eighteen

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, Klaus is in the study alone in the dark, sitting at the desk, gently fiddling with his dark blue-green beaded necklace in his hands.

Glimpses of Christy goes through his mind, from them gently holding each other's hands, exchanging small smiles at each other, making him chuckle with her silliness, watching her cook with a small smile on his face, and he's gently wrapping his arms around her waist.

Klaus has felt this empty void many times before. Not having Christy by his side or in his life.

He gently puts his dark blue-green beaded necklace back around his neck and gets up, walking away.

ABANDONED TRAIN DEPOT

Charlotte Petrova sits upright on the bench. Klaus walks up to the iron gate cell.

"Let me guess, by the infuriated expression on your face, your beloved Christy isn't on good terms with anymore. You shouldn't keep so many secrets and lies from her, Klaus." Charlotte Petrova taunted the Original Hybrid with a sly grin.

Klaus takes out the pistol with the wooden bullets and fires one into Charlotte's stomach, which causes her to fall on the floor with a grunt.

"What's the source of your anger?" Charlotte asked, looking up at him, clutching her stomach bullet wound. "Our former romance? Or the fact that Christy found out and she wants nothing to do with you?"

Klaus opens the iron gate door and vamp-sped towards Charlotte and pins her to the wall in a chokehold.

"I ought to choke you death." Klaus said.

"Go right ahead, do it. It's not gonna make you get back into Christy's good graces." Charlotte taunted with a chuckle.

And Klaus plunges his hand into her chest, gripping Charlotte's chest, causing her to grunt, but she chuckles.

"Go ahead and take your frustration out on me, I'm already dead and I'm gonna flame out anyway." Charlotte taunted Klaus some more.

Klaus drops Charlotte on the floor and walks away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later that day, Klaus slowly walks inside the study and sees Christy sitting in the armchair.

{Christy Outfit}

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

"Okay." Christy said and eyes glow red in anger and she holds the Golden Golden Dagger in her right hand and Papa Tunde's Blade in her left hand. "Did you really think that you weren't gonna get in trouble with me?"

"Christy?" Klaus said.

Christy gets up and slowly walks up to her husband. "The Golden Dagger or Papa Tunde's Blade? Either way, you're going in a Mikaelson coffin, so, don't lie to me ever again."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Christy? You don't have to do this." Klaus said with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Is that fear I see you in your eyes?" Christy asked as she slowly walks up to him. "Because fear is all you know of."

"That's not true." Klaus said.

"Yeah, it is. Because right now, you'll say and do anything just to talk yourself out of trouble." Christy said.

"Christy, I love you." Klaus told her.

"I know you do, Niklaus. But it's just words." Christy said, and stabs him in his chest with the Golden Dagger.

Klaus grunts and looks at Christy, dejected, as he slowly desiccates.

"I'll un-dagger you in 10 minutes." Christy tells him.

And Klaus collapses onto the floor and Christy stands over him and her eyes return back to normal green eyes.

After putting her daggered desiccated husband, Klaus, in a Mikaelson coffin, Christy closes the lid shut, and sets her phone timer for ten minutes.

She gently closes the double doors to the chaise lounge room and walks away.

Christy walks out of the ballroom and into the courtyard. Klaus's phone buzzes in her pants pocket. She takes out his phone and looks at it.

Elijah

Christy answers Klaus's phone. "Elijah?"

"Christy? Where's Niklaus?" Elijah asked on the phone.

"He's out for right now." Christy told her brother-in-law. "Where are you?"

"I'm with Marcel. Charlotte has escaped." Elijah said.

"It was Marcalos. He must've teleported her out of her cell." Christy said. "I'm on my way." And hangs up her phone and teleports away in golden dust.

ABANDONED TRAIN DEPOT

Christy walks inside the hallway and sees Elijah and Marcel.

"Where's Klaus?" Marcel asked.

"I daggered him and put him in a Mikaelson coffin." Christy told him.

Elijah and Marcel both looks at Christy bewildered.

"You actually daggered Niklaus?" Elijah asked Christy.

"Yeah, for ten minutes." Christy told him. "I'll say, he has, 8 minutes left before I un-dagger him again."

"Damn, you really are a feisty badass." Marcel said.

"Yeah, I am." Christy said. "So, where the hell is the Petrova bitch?"

"Don't know. She can be anywhere in the French Quarter." Marcel said.

"I can assume that she cloaked herself, so, she can give herself some more time for whatever she has schemed up." Christy said.

"I'll meet you both back at the compound." Marcel said and walks away.

Elijah and Christy exchange looks at each other and she walks away.

"Christy?" Elijah said.

Christy stopped walking and turns to look at him.

"Despite your anger, you still love Niklaus. I don't know what's going on between the two of you, but whatever it is, you and him will find a way back to each other." Elijah said.

"Maybe." Christy said and walks away, teleporting away in golden dust.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later that late afternoon, in the study, after the 10 minute timer went off, a dessciated Klaus is laying on the couch. Christy gently pulls out the blood- stained Golden Dagger from his chest and slowly walks over armchair and sits down in it.

Klaus gasps awake and sits up straight on the couch. He puts his hand on his stab wound on his chest where the Golden Dagger was.

He looks at Christy and she looks at him.

"You un-daggered me." Klaus said.

"The ten minutes were up." Christy said to him.

Klaus then, looks at a Manila envelope on the coffee table, but doesn't ask about it.

"What did I miss?" Klaus asked.

"Charlotte is gone from her cell. It was Marcalos." Christy told him.

"Chris?" Klaus said.

"It doesn't matter what you say, it's not gonna change anything, Niklaus." Christy said, getting up to her feet. "I can't do this anymore, we can't be together."

"Yeah, we can." Klaus said and slowly walks up to her. "Christy? I've changed."

"No, you haven't. Not completely." Christy said to him. "Relationships are built on trust and a bond. And your past will always come between us. Always. Whether it's an old enemy or an ex-girlfriend. A part of you will always be that complicated damage man, the Original Hybrid."

"Christy?" Klaus said. "You have to do this."

"I don't want to, but I'm already." Christy said, gently takes off her engagement ring and wedding ring and gently puts it on the drinking table. "The Manilla envelope has a separation agreement. I already signed it with my signature, it just needs yours."

Klaus becomes dejected. "Christy?"

"You don't need me. You have Elijah, Rebekah, Freya and Kol." Christy said. "I don't care about what others say about you, but I do care about what's in here . . ." She trailed off, gently puts her hand on his chest, and Klaus gently puts his hand atop hers. ". . . But you and I both know that, deep down, you don't have a heart."

Klaus and Christy exchange glum looks at each other.

"You're gonna have to let me go." Christy said, gently pulls her away from Klaus and walks away from him.

"I can't let you go." Klaus said, causing Christy to stop walking. "I don't know how."

"I know it's gonna be hard for you." Christy said, and looks at him with a glum expression on her face. "But you're gonna have to deal with it, Niklaus."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other and she walks away with her backpack, leaving Klaus to feel dejected.

And the strong bond has been broken again between the two Epic Loves.
