- Third POV -

The next day, at the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, in the study, Klaus gently sits atop the desk, gently fiddling with the ultraviolet sphere bomb in his hands.

Rebekah slowly walks into the study and looks at Klaus. "You shouldn't play around with that, Nik. You might accidentally set it off."

"You can relax, I'm not gonna set it off." Klaus reassured his sister and humorously teases her. "I've always wondered about the living arrangement since you and Marcel are married. A penthouse or his loft?"

"You and Christy are blissfully married." Rebekah said.

"Christy has work and business to attend as Chief Advisor. And even though, she's not around here, she does, however, phone calls just to check in on us. That's the person she is." Klaus said.

"Christy has a positive influence on you. When we first met, I was jealous and envious of her, but now, she has become a mythological iconic figure." said Rebekah.

"Yeah, she has." Klaus said.

Klaus and Rebekah exchange soften looks at each other.

"Alright, I'll leave you to your pondering time." Rebekah said and walks away, walking out of the study.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- LIBRARY

Later that day, Christy sits at a sci-fi computer, looking through some files on a floppy disk.

[Christy Outfit]

The librarian assistant, Kaiti, walks by with her iPad tablet. "Hello, Lady Christiana."

Christy glances up at Kaiti. "Hi, Kaiti."

Librarian Kaiti walks away with her iPad tablet, continuing her work. And Christy resumes her work.

Christy ejects the floppy disk and puts it back in the disk case. She shuts down the computer and gets up and walks away.

"See you around, Kaiti." Christy said.

"You as well, Lady Christiana." Librarian Kaiti said.

And Christy walks away.

- Third POV -

Klaus gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard where he sees a mysterious red-headed woman in the ballroom.

Klaus slowly walks into the ballroom. "Who the hell are you?"

The Red-headed woman looks at Klaus with a stoic, yet, devious demeanor. "Hello. I'm Annalisa. I'm the Queen of the Turok-Han vampires."

Klaus looks at Annalisa. "Well, Annalisa. What the hell are you doing here at my home?"

Annalisa looks around at the compound itself. "Your house is amazing."

"How did you get in here?" Klaus asked.

"I walked in, obviously." Annalisa tells him with a straight face. And vamp-sped up to Klaus, gently pinning him against the wall in the ballroom.

Klaus and Annalisa exchange looks at each other. She gently soothes her hands on his chest.

Annalisa looks at Klaus with an interest and speaks in an ancient language. "Un home tan fort. Quina foscor dins teu." ( "Such a strong man. Such darkness within you." )

"Aparta les teves mans de sobre meu." ( "Remove your hands from me." ) Klaus spoke in ancient language.

Annalisa looks at Klaus, surprised. "You speak an ancient language?"

"I speak many languages." Klaus said.

Suddenly, Rebekah slings Annalisa away from Klaus. Annalisa falls on the floor and looks up at both Klaus and Rebekah.

Annalisa looks at Klaus with a sly smile. "We will encounter each other again."

Klaus and Annalisa exchange tense looks at each other and she vamp-sped away.

Rebekah looks at Klaus. "Who was that woman?"

"She said she was Annalisa. I think she developed an interest in me." Klaus tells Rebekah.

"This doesn't look good, Nik." Rebekah said. "Christy needs to know about this."

"I'll tell her. Because whatever Annalisa has planned, it's gonna involve me." Klaus said.

Klaus and Rebekah exchange concern looks at each other.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- ORASANIAN EXPO

That afternoon, in the half-full auditorium with Orasanian citizens, the Supreme Loyalists; Kreutzer, Malliades, Makias and Aris are discussing topics.

Christy is with Handmaiden Assistant Eve sitting next to each other. Christy's phone buzzes in her pants pocket. She takes out her phone and looks at it.

Caller ID: Klaus

Christy whispers to Handmaiden Assistant Eve. "I'll be right back."

"Yes, ma'am." Handmaiden Assistant Eve said.

Christy gets up and walks away, and walks out into the pillar hallway. She answers her phone.

"Hey, Klaus. What's up?" Christy said.

"We need to talk." Klaus told her on the phone.

"You're using your serious tone, is everything okay?" Christy asked, becoming worried.

"Yeah, everything is okay. I just need to see you. Can we meet at the French chateau?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah, sure. After I'm finished with a few work errands." Christy said.

"Of course, I understand. I'll meet you at the French chateau." Klaus said.

"Alright." Christy said.

Klaus hangs up his phone and Christy walks back into the auditorium.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- THE FRENCH CHATEAU

In the kitchen, Klaus sits at the kitchen countertop on the stool. Christy sits across from him on a stool, making herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He told her everything about Annalisa.

"So, Annalisa is the evil Queen of the Turok-Han vampires. She's not human, but her real form is that of the Turok-Han vampire creature. And she's developed an interest in you." Christy explained. "What are you and Elijah gonna do?"

"We don't know." said Klaus. "But whatever she has planned, it's not good."

"Maybe, Annalisa took an interest in you because you're capable of getting your hands dirty and doing bad things." Christy said. "I mean, with your reputation among the supernatural community, everyone hates you for their own reasons."

"I know." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange soft looks at each other and she takes a bite of her peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"So, how is everything going with you?" Klaus asked. "Has there been any word on Vardemas?"

"Not yet, she's probably laying low and scheming something else." Christy replied. "And also, there's a carnival at the city square tomorrow morning."

"A carnival sounds like fun." Klaus said.

"Yeah, I'm sure that Luna and Trinity and the other kids and children will enjoy it." Christy said.

"Yeah." Klaus said. "You were right to have a bad feeling about the Turok-Han vampire situation because Elijah and myself have to deal with the Turok-Han Queen Annalisa."

"Annalisa might try something." Christy warned him.

"She can, and Elijah and I will be ready for her whenever she decides to strike at us." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange soft looks at each other. They gently holds each other's hands on the kitchen countertop, with their wedding rings on their left hand ring fingers.
