Early morning, in Christy's bedchamber, Klaus and Christy are asleep in bed, underneath the fluffy bedcover. He's gently cuddling her from behind with his arm under hers and is wearing a sleeveless shirt and gray pants.

Klaus's Nightmare

In Marcalos's Underworld lair, Klaus is slung across the room and lands onto a table, smashing into it.

Klaus slowly gets back up to his feet, and looks at his father, Mikael.

"You always were a weakling coward?!" Mikael exclaimed with bitterness.

Klaus vamp-sped over to Mikael, punches him in his face. Mikael stumbles back and chokes Klaus, vamp-sped him over to a wall, choking him.

"You're not real, you're just an hallucination." Klaus said.

"Oh, I'm very real, Niklaus." Mikael said.

And Mikael changes into Christy with her
red Scarlett Sorceress eyes.

"Christy?" Klaus said.

"How could you hurt me?! You're unfit to be a father?!" Christy said, proceeding to choke Klaus and drops him onto the floor. And Klaus looks up at his wife. "Luna and Trinity would be disappointed in you for the monster that you truly are."

Reality

Klaus opens his eyes upon awakening from his nightmare. He sits up straight with the bedcover covering the lower half of his body and caress his neck, where a bruised, with his hand.

He looks at a sleeping wife, Christy, and gets up, putting on a jacket and slowly walks away.

Christy slowly wakes up and looks at Klaus, who's at the balcony. She gets up and slowly walks over to him.

Klaus gently leans sideways on the balcony wall, spaced out. Christy slowly walks up beside him.

"Klaus? Are you okay?" Christy asked him, concerned.

Klaus looks at Christy and tries to reassure her with a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine." and looks at her green pendant necklace and gently holds it in his fingers. "I still can't believe my immortal soul was in your pendant necklace."

"Don't change the subject, Niklaus." Christy said.

Klaus smirks. "You said my full name."

But Christy gives him a look. "Klaus?"

Klaus's smirk slowly fades away. "I had a nightmare." He tells her.

"What was it about?" Christy asked him.

"About Mikael." Klaus said. "He and I were fighting as usual."

"And what else?" Christy asked.

Klaus looks at Christy, glumly. "And it was you as well." And gently leans backwards on the balcony wall. "Do you remember what I said to you that you told me that I was unfit to be a father?"

Christy nodded. "Yeah."

"You said that in my nightmare, but your eyes were red and you were your Scarlett Sorceress." Klaus said to her.

Christy looks at Klaus and slowly walks up to him. "It was just a nightmare."

"I know." Klaus said to her. "When Marcalos had me as his personal prisoner in his Underworld lair, it's hot there. I saw a few of Marcalos's underworld creatures too. Marcalos forced me to inhale his herbs and he tortured me. Whenever he became angry, Marcalos would take it out on me."

"I'm sorry that Marcalos tortured you. But your immortal soul free of his torment. I made sure of it myself." Christy said.

"I know, and I love you for it. And I know that the sacrifices that you've made for me." Klaus said. "But you don't have to make sacrifices for me or save my immortal soul from Marcalos. I've changed. You've changed me. And our daughters."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and gently cups his face with her hands.

"I can take your nightmare away if you want." Christy offered her husband.

"I can handle anything." Klaus said.

"I know you can." Christy said to him.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. He kisses her and she kisses him back.

⚜️⚜️

Later on that day, Klaus has fallen asleep. And Christy plants a kiss on his cheek and walks away.

{Christy's Outfit}

Christy slowly walks inside the main room and sees her daughters, Luna and Trinity playing with virtual reality goggles with their video game controller.

"Hey, guys." Christy greeted her daughters.

"Hey, Mom." Luna and Trinity greeted their mother in unison, sitting on the U shaped sofa.

Luna and Trinity pauses their virtual reality video game. And their virtual reality goggles on their foreheads.

"Where's Daddy?" Trinity asked.

"He's asleep." Christy said, sitting in between her daughters. "Your Dad has been quite sleeping well."

"Marcalos." Luna said.

"Yeah." Christy said. "But Marcalos is done with your Dad's immortal soul, I made sure of it myself."

"Dad's in the kitchen." Trinity said.

"Okay." Christy said, getting up to her feet and walks away.

Christy slowly walks inside the kitchen, and sees Klaus at the kitchen countertop, scrambling eggs in a mixing bowl with a whisk.

Klaus glances up at her as he continues with the eggs. "Hi."

"Hi." Christy greeted him. "And maybe, after breakfast, you, me, Luna and Trinity, can have a snow fight."

"You don't have to cheer me up or take my mind off of my nightmare, Christy." Klaus said to her, figured out what she was trying to do.

"But you know you can talk to me about anything, you don't have to keep it bottled up inside of you." Christy said to him.

"I know. And I love you." Klaus said.

Christy small smiles at her husband. And she plants a kiss on his cheek and slowly walks away.

"By the way, Happy Wedding Anniversary." Klaus said to her.

Christy stops walking and looks at her husband with a small smile. "Happy Anniversary to you too, Klaus."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and she walks away.

CAICOS DOME LABORATORY

Later on that day, Tritocus and Christy are inside Caicos's laboratory dome, examining the Mercury element.

"This Mercury stuff is thick liquid, but why was it in the ancient chamber?" Christy asked Caicos, sitting on the stool chair.

"I do not know." said Caicos, looking at the Mercury liquid through his microscope. "The Elder Gods and Goddess created the ancient chamber themselves, along with the desert."

"What can the Mercury be used for?" Christy asked.

"Entombing fluid." Tritocus said. "It can weaken you."

"Like vervain to a vampire." Christy said. "And wolfsbane and silver to a werewolf."

"Correctly." Tritocus said.

"I may have to do some test on this Mercury element." Caicos said.

ZENITH'S MONASTERY

In the main room, Little Baby Damien is sitting on his blue baby blanket, playing with his toys.

Christy is sitting beside Little Baby Damien. He gently takes her index finger and puts it in his mouth, gumming on her finger.

"He's been gumming on Zenith's finger." Thalia said, sitting on the sofa. "And mine too."

"Has Damien started teething?" Christy asked Thalia.

"Maybe, a little." Zenith said.

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

Trinity

Christy answers her phone. "Hey, Trinity."

"Hey, Mom. Dad has breakfast food in the dinning room." Trinity said on the phone.

"Alright, I'm on my way." Christy said.

"Okay." Trinity said, and hangs up her phone.

Christy looks at Baby Damien. "It was nice visiting you, Little Damien." and playfully bops his little nose with her finger.

Baby Damien giggles softly to himself.

Christy looks at both Zenith and Thalia as she gets up to her feet. "Zenith. Thalia."

"Christy." Zenith and Thalia nodded with a small smile.

Christy teleports away in golden dust.

MOUNT ORASANI

In the dining room, Klaus, Christy, Luna and Trinity are sitting at the dining table with their plates of scrambled eggs, silver platter of bacon, and other breakfast foods and orange juice.

"We're going back home to the compound, aren't we, Dad?" Luna asked.

"Yes, we are." Klaus replied to her. "Tomorrow morning."

"Aww, I wanna stay here at Mount Orasani. It's pretty here." Trinity said,

"I know, trust me. But you guys needs to go back home to New Orleans." Christy said to Trinity.

"Okay." Trinity said.

Luna flicks a blueberry at Trinity and Trinity flick one right back her, making Klaus and Christy small smiles to themselves.

⚜️⚜️

That late afternoon, in the ballroom, everyone is celebrating Klaus's and Christy's anniversary with food, drinks and entertainment instrumental music.

{Christy's Formal Dress Outfit}

Christy is gently leaning backwards on the table with her goblet of wine while looking at her daughters, Luna and Trinity dancing together in the middle of the floor.

"Luna and Trinity are having some fun together." Klaus said, slowly walks up beside her with his own goblet of wine.

"They're enjoying themselves. Having fun. Smiling." Christy said.

"We did a good job of raising our daughters." Klaus said.

Christy looks at her husband, Klaus, with a small smile. "Yeah, we did."

Klaus looks at Christy with a small smile. "Happy Anniversary."

"Happy Anniversary to you too." Christy said to him with a small smile.

Klaus and Christy gently holds each other's hands.

Shortly afterwards...

In the hallway, Klaus is looking at picture frames on the wall and he looks at one of Christy as a child smiling.

"Klaus?" Christy said, slowly walks up to her husband.

"You have your mother's eyes." Klaus said to her.

"And her dark blonde hair." Christy playfully teased.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Luna and Trinity doesn't want to leave." Klaus said to her and looks at Christy. "I get it, Mount Orasani is a beautiful place."

"Yeah, it is." Christy said.

"And before I leave, you and I have a romantic date." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. He gently takes her hand and walks away, playfully chuckles softly with each other.

MEADOWS

Later on that late afternoon, Klaus and Christy are sitting on the steps of the fairy-lighted decorated gazebo with a silver platter of wine and cheese.

"You know, this gazebo is fairly-lighted at night." Christy said.

"Are you gonna be alright?" Klaus asked Christy.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Christy reassured her husband with a small smile. And puts her hand on his shoulder. "Thank you."

"For what?" Klaus asked her.

"For not giving up on me when I was my Scarlett Sorceress." Christy replied to him. "You know I wasn't myself, and yet, you didn't give up on me."

Klaus small smiles at Christy. "You're welcome. And you're my wife, and I never give up on you. You didn't give up on me."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and they share a passionate kiss.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, Christy slowly walks inside Luna's and Trinity's bedchamber.

"Hey, guys." Christy greeted her daughters.

"Hi, Mom." Trinity said.

Christy slowly walks up to Luna and Trinity and sits down on Luna's bed.

"What is it, Mom?" Luna asked.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to check on you guys before you leave for New Orleans in the morning." Christy said.

Luna and Trinity both leans their head on their mother's shoulders.

"Love you Mom." Luna said.

"Love you guys too." Christy said.
