MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, in the ballroom, Christy is sitting on the sofa, typing on her laptop.

{Christy's Outfit}

Klaus slowly walks up behind her, gently puts his hands on her shoulders. " 'The Prince and The Enchantress Book 2' ", what changed your mind, Love?"

"You talked me into it." Christy said to him, glancing up at him with a small smile.

"Well, I, of course, cannot wait to read it." Klaus said, and plants a kiss on her cheek and walks away.

Klaus and Christy exchange chuckles with each other and he walks away.

Christy's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Will Kinney

Christy answers her phone. "Hey, Will."

"Hey, Christy. I have something that I think you might want to check out." Will Kinney said on the phone.

"Okay, I'm on my way." Christy said, and hangs up her phone.

FRENCH QUARTER

Christy slowly walks up to her best friend, Will Kinney. "Will?"

Will Kinney looks at Christy. "Hey, Christy. In the alleyway."

Christy slowly walks up to him and looks at two wrapped up dead bodies with blood stains laying on the ground.

"I recovered these . . ." Will Kinney said, showing Christy a plastic bag of two blood-stained throwing knives. ". . . are they familiar to you, Christy?"

"Yeah. These are throwing knives." Christy said.

"Throwing knives? You're kidding me, right?" Will Kinney said bewildered.

"No, I'm not kidding." Christy replied. "Do you have a lead on who it might be?"

"I don't know." Will Kinney said to her. "Is it supernatural?" He asked.

"Do you know of the supernatural, Will?" Christy asked him, folding her arms.

"My best friend, Vincent, told me about it. Vampires, werewolves and witches. I thought it was folklore stuff, but it turns out it's not." Will Kinney said.

"I may know who the culprit is, but I need you to trust me, Will." Christy said.

"Alright, I do." Will Kinney said.

"Okay, I'll see you around." Christy said, and walks away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That late afternoon, Christy is sitting on the bed, looking at the blood-stained throwing knife.

"What is that?" Klaus asked, slowly walks up to her and sits down beside her on the bed.

"A throwing knife. Will found it." Christy said to her husband. "And this throwing knife belongs to either Marcalos's League Rogue warriors or Thalia's."

"Marcalos and Thalia both have their own stealthy League masked rogue warriors." Klaus said, and gently lays back on the pillows.

"Marcalos is vengeful, Thalia isn't." Christy said, and looks at Klaus. "I'll asks Thalia."

"And if she's not the culprit?" Klaus asked her.

"Then, I'll asks Marcalos." Christy replied. "I'll know if he's lying or not."

Christy's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Thalia

Christy answers her phone. "Thalia?"

"There were two dead bodies with throwing knives in their stomachs. To let you know, it was not me." Thalia tells Christy on the phone.

"Why are you telling me this?" Christy asked Thalia on the phone. "Knowing your Dad very well, he doesn't tolerate betrayal."

"I'm not frightened of my Dad, Christy. You and I both know that he can be a bold face liar and he can also talk himself out of trouble. But I assure you, I am not the throwing knife culprit." Thalia said on the phone, and hangs up her phone.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other. And she looks at her Fawkes-Phoenix armor.

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY

That evening, Callahan, Keelin and Christy are sitting at a table with their drinks of bourbon.

"I don't know want to pry or anything, how long you guys have been together?" Christy asked.

"For a while now." Callahan said. "Keelin's a feisty badass."

Keelin chuckled. "Yeah. Callahan and I mentored each other."

"I'm happy for you both." Christy said. "I really am. So, what's it " 'Caleelin' ".

Callahan, Keelin and Christy exchange small smiles and chuckles with each other.

Suddenly, Christy senses something, which makes both Callahan and Keelin worried.

"Christy? What is it?" Keelin asked.

"Someone's here." Christy said, slowly getting up to her feet, magically summoning her bronze sword.

A League Masked Rogue Warrior, Palo, slowly walks out of the shadows of the corner and leaps onto a table in a crouched stance.

"Hello, Christiana." Palo greeted her.

"Palo." Christy greeted him.

"Christy?" Callahan said.

"You guys leave." Christy said to Callahan and Keelin, looking at the male League Masked Rogue Warrior.

"What about you?" Keelin asked Christy.

"I'll be fine." Christy said.

Callahan and Keelin walks out of the St. James Infirmary.

And a few more League Masked Rogue Warriors, male and female, slowly walks out of the shadows and leaps onto tables in a crouched stance as well.

Palo and Christy exchange tense looks at each other.

"Come, Christiana, let us spar with each other." Palo said to her.

The few League masked rogue warriors throws some throwing knives and Christy blocks each one with her bronze sword.

Palo and Christy exchange looks at each tense other.

"Your extraordinary reputation precedes you, Christy." Palo said.

"Yeah, I know." Christy replied.

The few League masked rogue warriors and Christy engages in a sword fight, thus, bruising each other in the process.

After defeating Palo's League masked rogue warriors, Christy looks at Palo himself with a few bruises on her face.

"Palo. Marcalos's right hand League rogue warrior." Christy said. "Do you still kiss his index ring finger?" She asked, cheekily.

Annoyed, Palo leaps off the table, pulling out his bronze sword. And the two engages in a sword fight.

Palo and Christy smashes into a table, he pulls out a knife and stabs her in side of her stomach, below her rib, causing her to grunt in agony pain.

Christy punches Palo in his face, knocking him out onto the floor. She slowly gets up to her feet, clutching her stomach side wound, but composures herself.

Palo grabs Christy by her hair and slings her across the room, causing her to smash into another table.

Palo pulls out his bronze sword, preparing to stab her. Suddenly, Keelin gets a chair and whacks Palo with it, making him falls onto his knees.

Palo looks up at Keelin and vanishes away in green smoke.

Keelin crouches down beside Christy. "Christy? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay." Christy reassured her, and slowly sits up straight. "I thought Callahan and you had left?"

"Yeah, well, you're my best friend, and Callahan and I are stubborn." Keelin said. "Let's get you home."

Keelin and Christy walks away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That night, in the courtyard, Keelin and Christy are sitting on the sofa. Keelin is examining Christy's stomach side wound below her rib and has put a small band-aid on it.

"Thankfully, the stab wound isn't deep, but it will heal, just don't try to chuckle." Keelin said.

"I'll try not to." Christy said.

"Hey, Mom. Auntie Keelin." Luna and Trinity greeted in unison, slowly walks up to them.

"Hey, Luna. Trinity." Keelin greeted.

"I'm fine, I'm okay." Christy reassured her daughters. "Where's your Dad?"

"Out and about in the French Quarter." Trinity said.

"Please, don't tell your Dad about this." Christy said to Luna and Trinity.

"Okay." Luna said.

"Don't tell me what?" Klaus said, slowly walks inside the courtyard.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other. Keelin, Luna and Trinity looks at both Klaus and Christy.

"Hi, honey." Christy said, trying to perk up a small smile.

"Hi to you too." Klaus replied.

⚜️⚜️

After-awhile, in Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy is looking at herself in the wall mirror. The side of her stomach has a wound below her rib.

"Are you okay?" Klaus asked, gently leaning sideways on the doorway.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Christy reassured him. "I'll get Palo for this."

"Who's Palo?" Klaus asked, a bit confused.

"He's Marcalos's right hand in his League Rogue masked warriors." Christy told her husband. "Marcalos trained Palo himself. And Palo is very good with hand-in-hand combat and with his sword."

"How do you know Palo? If you don't mind me asking?" Klaus asked, sitting down on the sofa. "Is he one of your old best friends? Has he known you since you were a child?"

"Palo and I know each other when I was Marcalos's second-in-command of his League rogue warriors." said Christy and slowly walks over to Klaus and sits down beside him on the sofa. "And Palo's a strong tough jerk."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay." Klaus said to her.

"Yeah, me too." Christy said.

"And by the way, I read some of your pages in your story." Klaus said.

"You're gonna spoil it, Klaus." Christy said to her.

"You have 12 pages, and besides, I love a good spoiler." Klaus said with a small smile.

Klaus and Christy exchange playfully chuckles with each other. And she grimaces a little to her stomach side wound and tries to stop chuckling.

"How's Luna and Trinity?" Christy asked.

"They're fine." Klaus said. "Just happy that you're okay."

"What about Inadu the Hollow?" Christy asked.

"The Hollow's after you." Klaus replied to her. "She tried to persuade you with a offer, but she's not quite done with you."

"Yeah, I know." Christy said. "She wants Scarlett Sorceress."
