MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, in the courtyard, Luna, Trinity, and Nikole are sitting at the table with their bowls of cereals.

{Christy's Outfit}


"Hi, Mom." Luna greeted her Mom along with Trinity.

"Hey, guys." Christy greeted. "How was the sleepover with Keelin?"

"It was fun." Trinity replied. "We ate s'mores, played some board games, watched a few cartoon movies and ate popcorn."

"And we made homemade sausage pizza and baked cookies too." Nikole said.

"I'm glad you guys had fun." Klaus said, slowly walks inside the courtyard.

"Hey, Dad." Trinity greeted her Dad.

"Hey, Uncle Klaus." Nikole greeted her uncle.

"Hi, Nikole." Klaus greeted his niece.

"Christy?" Marcel said, walking inside the courtyard with Josh.

"Marcel?" Christy said.

"Marcalos just arrived in the Lafayette Cemetery. He's asking for you, and if you don't show up, he's gonna hurt someone." Marcel told Christy.

"If Marcalos asks for me, I'm going to him." Christy said.

"You're not going alone." Klaus said, slowly walks up to her.

"Okay." Christy said.

"Mom?" Luna said. Christy turns around to look at her first daughter. "Be careful."

"I will." Christy said.

Luna, Trinity and Nikole walks upstairs.
And Klaus, Marcel, Elijah and Christy walks away, walking out of the Mikaelson Compound.

LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

Marcalos is pacing back and forth on the altar. Some of the French Quarter witches are among themselves.

"Where is Christiana? Why has she not come yet?" Marcalos asked, becoming impatiently. "Alright then, I've become impatient." and creates a fireball in his hand.

"Marcalos?!" Christy exclaimed.

Marcalos grins, wickedly. "There you are, Christiana."

Klaus, Elijah, and Marcel slowly walks up beside Christy.

"And you've accompanied yourself with your family and best friend." Marcalos said.

"You wanted me, here I am." Christy said to Marcalos. "What do you want, Marcalos?"

"I want you, Christiana." Marcalos told her. "I want you to show everyone here who you really are."

"You want me to transform into my dark alter ego, don't you?" Christy asked him.

"Of course I do." Marcalos said with a grin. "You did once already."

"I'm not gonna play along with your wicked games." Christy said to Marcalos.

"I'm not asking you, Christy." Marcalos said to her. "Come to me."

"No." Klaus said, getting in front of Christy, protectively.

"Klaus? I got this." Christy said to her husband.

"I know you do." Klaus said, glancing at Christy. "You can take me, but I won't let you hurt anyone else or take my wife away."

"I don't want you, Klaus Mikaelson. I want Christiana. And besides, I can easily take your immortal soul back to my Underworld lair and torture you again." Marcalos told him with a grin.

Klaus is unfazed by Marcalos's threat of the Underworld lair.

"And speaking of my Underworld lair, Klaus . . ." Marcalos said, using his powers to teleport Klaus.

"Klaus?" Christy said.

Klaus turns around to look at Christy. He looks at his hands, which starts to steam. He and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Christy?" Klaus said, and disappears in flames.

"Niklaus?!" Elijah said.

And Christy teleports away in golden dust.

shortly afterwards...

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Christy arrives back inside the courtyard and sees Klaus laying atop of the table with a piece of a white oak stake embedded into his chest.

Christy becomes worried that her premonition had came true.

She runs up to him, pulls his desiccated body off the table and holds his head in her arms as she sits on the floor of the courtyard. He has a white oak stake embedded in his stomach. She pulls it out of him.

"Klaus?!" Christy exclaimed, and teary-eyed. And screams out in distraughtly.

Thus, transforming into her Scarlett Sorceress. But this time, Christy complete control over her darkness.

⚜️⚜️

That late afternoon, Elijah has put Klaus's desiccated body in a coffin.

"Marcalos has Niklaus's immortal soul once again in his Underworld lair." said Elijah and looks at Christy. "Niklaus will not break so easily."

"Marcalos doesn't care. He just wants Klaus to be his personal prisoner." Christy said to Elijah.

"After you left, Marcalos teleported away. I assumed that he returned back to his Underworld." Elijah said.

"I have to tell Luna and Trinity." Christy said, and walks away.

Shortly afterwards...

Christy slowly walks inside Luna's bedroom. Luna and Trinity are sitting on her sofa, playing on their PSPs.

"Hey, Mom." Trinity greeted.

"Hey, guys." Christy greeted her daughters, slowly walks up to them and sits down on the three seat sofa in between Luna and Trinity.

"What is it, Mom?" Luna asked worriedly.

"It's your Dad." Christy told her daughters. "He's desiccated dead."

"Dad's body is desiccated, but his soul is gone." Luna said.

"Yeah." Christy replied. "The Elder God of the Underworld, Marcalos, has your father's immortal soul in his Underworld realm."

Both Luna and Trinity looks worried about their Dad's immortal soul being tortured by Marcalos himself.

"I'm gonna get him back, okay?" Christy reassured both her daughters.

Luna and Trinity nodded, and gently leans their heads on Christy's shoulders.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, Freya and Christy are looking at her husband's, Klaus's desiccated body laying in a coffin.

"Freya? Are you able to put Klaus's soul in your pendant?" Christy asked.

"Marcalos has his soul in his Underworld lair. I'd have to pull his soul out of the realm and into my pendant, but my magic isn't quite as strong." Freya said.

"I have an idea." Christy said.

⚜️⚜️

Elijah, Freya and Christy are in the study, and Christy has told them her idea.

"I can use my magic to pull Klaus's soul from Marcalos's Underworld realm and into my necklace. But I need to use my strength and energy." Christy said.

"Christiana? You can't do that." Elijah said to his sister-in-law. "Klaus doesn't want you to."

"Elijah, I have to try." Christy said. "Put Klaus's body in his bedroom. I'll do the rest."

⚜️⚜️

Afterwards, Elijah gently puts Klaus's desiccated body on the bed. Christy puts her hands on his stomach and gently holds her green necklace, which she turned into pendant.

Christy looks at both Elijah and Freya. Elijah nodded. And Christy closes her eyes and her hands glow blue.

Klaus's Mind

Christy opens her eyes and finds herself in the living room of the Mikaelson safe-house.

"Klaus?" Christy said.

"Christy?" Klaus said.

Christy turns around to look at Klaus. "Klaus?"

Christy walks up to him and hugs him. Klaus hugs her back. And they pulls away from the hug.

"How am I here?" Klaus asked her.

"I brought your mind here." Christy said. "Your body is desiccated. Marcalos has your immortal soul, but I have your mind."

"You're distracting me, aren't you?" Klaus asked her. "Please, don't tell me that you're up to something such as trying to save me."

Christy small smiles at him, and a little blood trickle down her right nostril, which worries Klaus.

"Christy?" Klaus said, gently caressing her cheek with his hand. "Christiana?"

Christy looks at Klaus, becoming tired, as she loses her balance. But Klaus catches her in his arms.

"Christy? Stop. Whatever you're doing, it's draining you." Klaus said.

"I have to." Christy said to her husband, becoming weakened. "I can't lose you."

"And I can't lose you either." Klaus said to her, becoming worried. "Please, don't do this."

Klaus and Christy both falls onto the floor in the living room. He gently cups her face with his hands.

"Christy? You need to stop, please?" Klaus said to her.

"Klaus, I have to try." Christy said to him.

"Christy, please, stop?!" Klaus exclaimed, becoming more worried. "Whatever you're doing, it's draining your energy."

"I won't let Marcalos have your immortal soul." Christy said.

Reality

Christy opens her eyes with a gasp. Elijah and Freya exchange worried looks at each other.

"Christy?" Freya said.

Christy's green pendant glows blue, indicating that Klaus's soul inside her pendant. "I put Klaus's soul in my pendant. He's safe and he's gonna be okay."

Elijah, Freya and Christy exchange small relieved smiles at each other.

⚜️⚜️

Later on that evening, Freya and Christy are sitting at the table in the dining room.

Freya is looking at Christy's green necklace pendant. "So, your necklace pendant can hold any person's spirit?"

"Yeah, it can." Christy said.

"Are you sure that Klaus's soul is safe and well in your pendant necklace?" asked Freya.

"I'm 100% sure, Freya. Until Klaus's body is restored to normal. I just need his immortal soul, and Marcalos won't hand it over so easily." Christy said.

"You have to duel Marcalos." Freya said.

"Yeah, I do. Or my Dad can." Christy said.

⚜️⚜️

That night, in Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy is at the small balcony. And a whoosh is beside her.

"Hi, Dad." Christy greeted her father.

"Christy." Ames greeted his daughter. "I will duel Marcalos for Klaus's immortal soul."

"I wanted to duel him." Christy said to her Dad.

Ames looks at Christy and small smiles. "You've done enough for your family, Christiana. Let someone else take up the sword."

Christy nodded. "Yes, Dad."

Ames gently cups Christy's face with his hands and plants a kiss on her forehead. "Your mother and I loves you, Christy."

"Love you guys too." Christy said.

Ames and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. And Ames teleports away in golden dust.

Christy gently fiddles her green necklace pendant in her fingers where her husband's, Klaus's, immortal soul essence is.
