Chapter Twenty-Nine

Flashback

The tension between the Epic Love Soulmates Klaus and Christy had reached its limit.

"I know we did, but whenever Marcalos resurrects someone from your past, things tend to get dangerous. And I don't want our daughters around when it happens." Christy told him.

Klaus gets up and looks at Christy. "What are you saying?"

"I'm taking our kids with me to Mount Orasani for a while." Christy told him.

"You can't take our daughters away from me." Klaus told her.

"The hell I can." Christy told him, becoming agitated.

"If this is about what I said about Bassea naming her as a charity case, I apologized for that." Klaus told her.

"This isn't about Bassea, this is about you." Christy told him.

Klaus just looks at her, bewildered.

"Don't you get it, Niklaus? The reason why you have so many enemies is because you made them. Maybe, if you haven't been such a pompous mean asshole, you wouldn't have so many enemies, but you being you, you did." Christy argued.

An aggravated Klaus walks up to Christy. "You have absolutely no idea what it was like for me growing up with Mikael and Esther. The pain he inflicted upon me. The shame. And here you are, you think you're so innocent and pure, when you have a dark alter ego just waiting to re-emerge." He argued back at her.

"At least, I have my darkness under control. What about you?" Christy told him with her eyes glow red in anger. "You can't go on in your life without Elijah holding your hand."

Klaus looks at Christy, shocked, and she just looks at him with her eyes glow red in anger.

"You can handle Gasper Cortez all you want. I don't really care anymore. Just because your life is fucked up, doesn't mean you can go around being mean to everyone around you. You're so paranoid about everything and everyone. You want power and to control things. You want to be the Mad King that everyone fears and hates. You want the supernatural community to hate you, they already do because of your reputation. But underneath, all of your mean demeanor, is a scared weak little boy that's afraid of being abandoned and alone. And if you die, the supernatural community will celebrate because they don't have to be so worried about the Original Hybrid monster. You will never change. Ever. You're not the man that I fell in love with, Niklaus. You're nothing but a fake."

Klaus looks at Christy, dejectedly.

"I'm taking the kids with me and if it's not a life and death situation, don't call me. I'm done helping you." Christy told him with a glum expression on her face and her eyes return back to normal green eyes and she walks away, gently bumping his shoulder with hers.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- MEDICAL INFIRMARY

The next day, Klaus stands outside of Christy's room, looking through the window, at his still unconscious wife, Chr after remembering their last tense argument between them.

Elijah slowly walks up next to Klaus and looks at his sister-in-law, Christy.

"Niklaus?" Elijah said to his brother.

"I'm not leaving." Klaus said.

Elijah gently puts a reassuring hand on Klaus's shoulder.
