ON THE ROAD . . .

The next day, Christy is driving in her classic orange '74 Honda Civic hatchback car, driving back to the compound after getting a few groceries.

{Christy Outfit}

As Christy drives back home to the compound, her phone buzzes. She answers her phone through her Bluetooth.

"Hello?" Christy said.

"Hello, Love." Klaus responded on the phone. "You left the compound a little earlier."

"Yeah, I went to the store and gotten a few groceries. I'm headed back home now." Christy said to her husband.

"Alright, I'll see you when you get back." Klaus said.

"Okay." Christy said.

And Klaus hangs up his phone. Christy continues driving when suddenly, another car hits Christy's car, causing it to flip over sideways on the road.

An injured and bruised Christy is buckled. She hears footsteps and looks to see who it is from the driver's seat car window.

A feet away from Christy's car, Zoi crouched down to see her.

"Zoi?" Christy said.

"It's good to see you again, Christiana." Zoi said.

And Christy faints and Zoi stands back up to her feet and walks away.

ST. THEODORA'S CLINIC

Later that day, after receiving a phone call from Callahan, Klaus is standing outside of Christy's patient room with Callahan.

Klaus and Callahan are looking at Christy through the window blinds.

"How bad is it?" Klaus asked.

"It's not bad." Callahan tells him. "She has facial scrape wounds and bruises. She has lower back pain and both of her thighs and legs have pain as well, but other than that, she's gonna be okay."

"There's something you're not telling me, Callahan." Klaus said.

Klaus and Callahan exchange looks at each other.

"The last thing that Christy saw was Zoi." Callahan said. "She managed to say before she passed out again in the paramedics."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"You can see her, but fair warning, she's a bit on aggravated edge." Callahan said.

Callahan's pager buzzes in his doc coat pocket. "I gotta go, but I'll come back and check on her."

Callahan walks away and Klaus enters the door, gently closes the door behind him.

Christy lays in bed, wearing a hospital gown. She has facial scrape wounds on her forehead temple and bruised cheekbones.

"Chris?" Klaus said and slowly walks up to her bedside.

Christy looks at him. "Callahan told you? About Zoi?"

"He did." Klaus said. "She caused the car accident."

Klaus sits down at her bedside. "I know you're angry right now, but Zoi doesn't matter right now."

"Bullshit." Christy said with an aggravated expression on her face.

"Luna and Trinity are at the Camp Orasani. I didn't tell them about this." Klaus said.

"Good. I don't want this to distract them from their fun activities at Camp Orasani." Christy said to him.

"I agree." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other. And her aggravated expression softens.

"Callahan said that you have pain in both your thighs and legs." Klaus said and gently puts his hand on both her legs.

But Christy doesn't feel it. "Whoa."

"What?" Klaus said.

"I can't feel my legs." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

"Klaus? I can't feel my legs." Christy said.

⚜️⚜️

Minutes after, Callahan is with Klaus and Christy in her patient room.

Callahan gently pokes Christy's toes with his pen.

"Are you sure that you can't feel when I poke your toes with my pen?" Callahan asked.

"I'm sure, Cal." Christy said. And looks at her feet. "I have some little toes." She added with a sense of silly humor.

Klaus and Callahan chuckles softly to themselves at Christy's silly sense of humor.

"Chris?" Klaus said with a small smile.

"Sorry." Christy said with a small smile.

"Alright then, I'm gonna request a physical therapist." Callahan said.

"Okay." Christy said. "I have to sit in a mechanical wheelchair, don't I?"

"Temporary." Callahan said.

"Damn." Christy said.

"I know it sucks, but it's just temporary." Callahan said.

"Okay." Christy said.

"How long does Christy need a mechanical wheelchair?" Klaus asked.

"For a while until she gets back on her feet." Callahan said to Klaus and looks at Christy. "But other than that, I'm glad you're okay, Christy."

"Me too." Christy said.

"Alright. I'll go to my office and request a physical therapist." Callahan said, and walks away, walking out of the room.

"Oh, man." Christy said.

"Not to worry, Love . . ." Klaus trailed off, sitting on the bed. ". . . I'll be here with you."

"What about Lou and his henchmen gang?" Christy asked.

"They don't concern me right now, right now, getting you better is." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and gently holds each other's hands.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later that afternoon, in the courtyard, Christy sits in a mechanical wheelchair, at the table with her laptop and a printer.

With her laptop connected to the printer, Christy prints out her book drafts, which she saved on her USB flashdrive.

The printer prints out twenty chapters.

"Mom?" Trinity said.

Christy looks at her daughters, Luna and Trinity. "Hey, sweethearts."

Luna and Trinity scurries up to their mother and gently hugs her. Christy hugs them back.

"I'm okay. I'm okay." Christy reassured her daughters, gently pulls away from the hug. "How was Camp Orasani with the children's group?"

"Camp Orasani was good." Trinity said, sitting at the table next to Luna. "We were into two teams, the red team and the blue team. We played catch ball."

"Me, Luna, Damien, Irene, Nikole and Marion were on the red team. The red team won. Marion is younger, but she helped out with scoring a point." Trinity said.

"And we also trained with bronze swords and shields. And Marion won a drawing contest." Luna said.

"Well, I'm glad you guys had fun today at the Camp Orasani." Christy said.

"Where's Dad?" Trinity asked. "He's with Uncle Elijah isn't he?"

"Yeah, and undoubtedly, he and your Uncle Elijah are handling some things." Christy said.

"Like enemies?" Luna said.

"Yeah." Christy said.

"You're done with your book, Mom?" Trinity asked.

"Yep, I'm finished with my book. I just have to get it published." Christy said. "You girls hungry? I went to the store and gotten some groceries."

"Sure." Trinity said, getting up, along with Luna.

"You want anything Mom?" Luna asked.

"There's a pizza in the refrigerator. We'll share that together." Christy said.

"Okay." Luna said.

And Luna and Trinity walks away.

"Follow the instructions on the pizza box and don't burn it." Christy said.

"We will, Mom." Trinity said.

And Christy goes back to her story drafts.

shortly after . . .

After a while, Christy, Luna and Trinity are sitting at the table, eating their slices of sausage and pepperoni pizza.

Along with some milk chocolate bars.

"You three girls are enjoying yourselves, aren't you?" Klaus asked, slowly walks up to his wife and daughters.

"Hey, Dad." Trinity greeted her father with a small smile. "Mom, Luna and I are eating pizza."

"I would offer, but you're not much of a pizza guy." Christy said.

"Not really, but I do appreciate the offer." Klaus said.

Christy looks at her brother-in-law, Elijah. "Hi, Elijah."

"Hello, Christy." Elijah greeted back his sister-in-law with a small smile and glances at the mechanical wheelchair that she sits in. "Niklaus told me about your situation, I hope you make a full recovery."

"Me too, Elijah." Christy said.

Klaus, Elijah and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, Christy is in the ballroom, with her laptop on her lap, checking her emails and deleting old emails.

She suddenly, hears a noise in the courtyard.

Christy closes her laptop and puts it on the table. She drives her mechanical wheelchair to the doorway of the ballroom and looks around.

Christy slowly drives her mechanical wheelchair further inside the courtyard.

She looks at a broken decanter. She flashes her eyes glow blue, summoning her bronze sword in her hand.

Suddenly, three throwing knives hits Christy's mechanical wheelchair, causing her to fall out of it and falls on the floor, making her drop her sword a few feet away from her.

Without the use of her legs due to her lower back pain, Christy does her best to crawl to her sword.

Just as Lou, dressed up in his black rogue armor, saunters up to her with his sword.

Christy turns around and looks up at Lou. "Lou."

"Did you really think that you were gonna get away with what you did to me, Christiana?" Lou asked with a dead serious expression on his face.

"Your crazy-ass bossman put a wanted poster on me, so, you can pardon my anger." Christy said.

Lou steps on Christy's legs, causing her to scream out in agony pain.

Lou raises his sword just as Christy grabs her bronze sword and blocks her sword with Lou's sword.

"How are your fingers, Lou? Still cut off?" Christy taunted him.

Suddenly, Luna uses her Orasanian Warrior bead bracelet to wrap it around Lou's neck, pulling him away from her mother.

Lou looks at Luna.

"Leave my Mom alone." Luna said, and does a roundhouse kick to Lou's face.

Lou falls on the floor and Luna unwraps her Orasanian Warrior bead bracelet from around Lou's neck.

Lou grabs his sword but Trinity uses her Orasanian Warrior bead bracelet to wrap it and takes it out of his gloved hands.

"Trying to attack our Mom while she's down, a bad move." Trinity said.

"Luna? Trinity? Remember your training." Christy reminded her daughters, still laying on the floor, clutching her legs with her hand.

Luna and Trinity stands next to each other and gets into their fight poses.

Lou looks at them both, impressed and speaks in the ShangQui language. "La vostra mare us va ensenyar bé a tots dos. ( "Your mother has taught you both well." )

"Sí que ho va fer." ( "Yeah, she did." ) Trinity spoke in the same ShangQui language.

Lou becomes even more impressed. He, along with Luna and Trinity engages in a fight.

Luna dodges Lou's fist and elbows him in his face, and Trinity kicks him in his groin, bringing him down to his knees and he falls on the floor.

Lou looks up at Luna and Trinity, shocked, that they both have learned so much from their mother.

"Impossible." Lou said.

Annoyed by his defeat at the hands of Christiana's daughters, Luna and Trinity, Lou disappears in a green smoke.

Luna and Trinity both scurries up to their mother and kneels down beside her.

"Very good, sweethearts. I'm proud of you." Christy complimented her daughters.

"Thanks, Mom." Trinity thanked her mother with a small smile.

"Let's get you to Callahan and Keelin." Luna said.
