Chapter Twenty-Two

ST. ANNE'S CHURCH -- TRAINING GYM

Day One Before the kickboxing fight between Christy vs Zoi.

The next day, Christy is training on a free-standing punching bag, wearing a pair of boxing fingerless gloves.

{Christy Workout Outfit}

Listening to some electro-pop instrumental music on her Bluetooth earbuds, Christy punches and kicks the free-standing punching bag.

Next, she proceeds her training with jump roping, a few pushups, some pull-ups on a pull-up handlebar.

Lastly, she goes back to training on the free-standing punching bag, punching and kicking.

Christy then, stops sparring on the free-standing punching bag upon noticing her daughters, Luna and Trinity, who slowly walked inside the gym.

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small smiles at each other and together, the mother and daughters does taijiquan. Every hand, arm and feet movement.

Afterwards, Christy, Luna and Trinity are sitting on a bench, cross-legged position, snacking on chewy granola bars and blueberry smoothies.

"Do you think Dad will like churros?" Trinity asked.

"Maybe." Christy replied. "You know your father loves beignets, but he does try new things though. I have to make him."

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange chuckles with each other.

"You and Dad are happy again." Luna said. "Glad you and Dad are back together again."

"Yeah, me too." Christy said with a small smile.

"Your father is a very complicated man. You both already know that." Christy said.

Both Luna and Trinity nodded in understanding.

"Your father and I will always love each other." Christy said.

"We know, Mom." Trinity said.

Christy glances at her training dummy and looks at her daughters again.

"You two want to learn another technique?" Christy asked.

"Yeah, sure." Luna said.

"Okay." Christy said.

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small smiles at each other and continues eating their churros.

⚜️⚜️

Later that day, Christy, Luna and Trinity are at a training dummy.

"There's a technique. You punch, do an uppercut punch, and then, you punch again." Christy said.

"Punch, uppercut punch, and punch. Got it." Trinity said.

"Yeah." Christy said. "Let me show you."

Christy stands in front of the training dummy. She punches, does an uppercut punch and punches again.

"Cool." Trinity said. "Can you do it swiftly, Mom?"

"Sure." Christy said, and does the same punch, uppercut punch and punch technique in a swift movement.

"Whoa." Luna said. "How can Trinity and I do that, Mom?"

"Practice." Christy said. "It makes an effort."

"Okay." Trinity said.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later that afternoon, Christy slowly walks inside Klaus's and hers bedroom. She gently takes off her boxing fingerless gloves and gently sets them in the armchair.

She then, notices Klaus's painting of the forest with the waterfall.

Christy small smiles to herself and slowly walks up to it, admiring her husband's canvas painting.

"What do you think?" Klaus asked, slowly walks inside the room.

Christy looks at her husband with a small smile. "I love it and you added the waterfall."

"It was your suggestion." Klaus said and slowly walks up next to her and admires his own canvas painting. "I did pretty good."

"You did great." Christy complimented her husband.

Klaus looks at her with a small smile. "You give me much credit."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"You're done with your training?" Klaus asked.

"I am for now. I don't want to burn myself out." Christy tells him.

"Zoi seems tough." Klaus said.

"She is. Just like her husband and the ShangQui warriors." Christy said. "Luna and Trinity are out with Amy and Jessica."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Any luck with Charlotte Petrova?" Christy asked.

"She thinks that she's in hiding, but there have been some blood bags missing." Klaus said.

"Charlotte is passed her extended borrowed hours, so, she must've found a way to keep herself from flaming out and going back to Marcalos's Underworld Palace." Christy said.

"Charlotte is part witch, so, she maybe, has a grimoire in her possession and casted a protection spell on herself." Klaus said.

"Could be." Christy said and slowly walks away.

"Where are you off to?" Klaus asked, looking at her.

Christy stopped walking at the doorway of the bathroom and playfully smiles at her husband.

"To take a short nice, warm shower." Christy tells him with a playful chuckle. "Would you like to join?"

Klaus small smiles to himself. "What the bloody hell."

Klaus and Christy exchange playful laughter with each other.

shortly after . . .

In the bathroom, after getting undressed, Klaus and Christy are in the shower, underneath a stream of running warm water from the shower head, intimately kissing each other with the steam covering them both.

Christy is gently leaning backwards against the shower wall, gently brushes his wet dirty blonde hair with her hands as they kiss passionately.

Klaus has his arms underneath Christy's arms, enjoying their short intimacy with the warm shower steam covering the shower itself.

OUTSKIRTS OF NEW ORLEANS -- THE TEMPLE OF THE ELDER GODS AND GODDESS

Christy slowly walks down the granite pillar hallway and slowly walks inside the main room and slowly walks up the steps and sits down.

{Christy Outfit}

A golden thunder strikes the midst of the floor. The Elder God, Ames, is there, wearing casual clothes.

Ames and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Hey, Dad." Christy greeted her father with a small polite smile.

"Hello, daughter." Ames greeted her back with a small smile. "Are you prepared for your fight with Zoi?"

"Yes, sir." Christy tells him.

Ames and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

              Shortly after, Ames used his Elderly God powers to summon himself a bo staff, so, right now, he is gently practicing some bo staff techniques.

"How are my beloved granddaughters?" Ames asked about Luna and Trinity.

"They're fine." Christy tells her father. "I'm gonna teach them another technique after my fight with Zoi."

Ames chuckled softly to himself. "Mentoring your daughters and teaching them with techniques to use, you really do have the potential of leadership."

Ames stops his bo staff practice. Christy gets up and slowly walks over to her father.

"I've been thinking about the leadership position." Christy said.

"You have?" Ames asked, a bit surprised.

"Yeah, I have." Christy said. "You've been taking me to your meetings, I mean, you've been grooming me to become a leader."

"Well, I'm happy that you have given it some thought about it." Ames said.

Ames makes the bo staff disappear. He goes to punch Christy, but she catches his fist in her hand. He tries to elbow her in her face, but she catches her father's elbow in her hand.

Ames smiles at his daughter, proudly. "You've been training well, Christiana."

"Yeah, I have lots of training." Christy said.

Ames and Christy gently pulls away from each other.

"Do you think I can defeat Zoi in a kickboxing fight, knowing how good she is?" Christy asked.

"Of course." Ames told her. "The ShangQui warriors are tough and they don't surrender without a fight."

"Any advice?" Christy asked.

"You have fought the ShangQui warriors before in battle, but now, you're facing Zoi. She may be Takeshi's wife, but she does not fight fair. So, be careful." Ames said.

Ames and Christy exchange looks at each other.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later that evening, Christy is sitting on the sofa, taking sips of her bottle of Ale.

Klaus slowly walks over to her and sits down in an armchair. "I've been informed by Marcel that Charlotte has been captured and brought back to her cell."

"Well, that's good." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Klaus, I'm sorry for daggering you with the Gold Dagger. I was angry and hurt. You deserved it, but you have bettered yourself into becoming a man that I know you can be. So, I'm sorry again." Christy apologized to him.

"Christy, I forgave you the first time that you apologized. Knowing me, I don't forgive. But yours matters to me, so, I forgive you again." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"I'm gonna get some sleep." Christy said, getting up and slowly walks up next to Klaus and gently runs her hand in his hair.

Klaus looks up at her with a soft look in his eyes. She pecks a kiss on his forehead and walks away.

Klaus small smiles to himself.
