MIKAELSON COMPOUND

At 6:00 AM, Klaus stirs awake on the bed and finds that Christy isn't there. His hybrid hearing picks up some sounds from downstairs in the courtyard.

He gently gets up, walks in the hallway and slowly walks up to the second floor balcony railing and sees his wife, Christy, doing some early morning workout.

{Christy Workout Outfit}

Christy is gently and carefully spinning a pair of weapons called manirki in her hands.

Klaus gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard. "Christy?"

Christy stopped doing her manriki workout and looks at him. "Hey."

"What are you up early?" Klaus asked.

"Can't sleep." Christy said. "My brain is a bit energetic. I'm trying to tire myself out so, I can go to sleep."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"What are you doing up?" Christy asked.

"Concerned about you." Klaus said. "And I'm still awaiting for the other shoe to drop."

"It's like I'm tense. Too tense. Like, I'm not relaxed." Christy said.

Klaus walks up to her and they hug. He feels Christy's body slightly trembling.

"Chris? You're trembling." said Klaus and they gently pulls away from the hug and they exchange worried looks at each other. "What's going on?"

"I don't know, Klaus. But that's just it, I can't calm down." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

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

The Elder Goddess, Nadia, had arrived with Klaus and Christy at the temple.

At the beachside shore, Nadia and Christy are looking at the sea.

"What's going on with me, Mom?" Christy asked. "Why am I tense?"

"You're tense because of what happened with the car incident." Nadia said to her daughter. "You need to calm your mind."

Nadia and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Lend me your hand." Nadia said.

Christy hands her mother her slightly twitching hand.
