Hello (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
Hello
It’s me
I was wondering if after all these years
You’d like to meet to go over everything
They say that time’s supposed to heal
Yeah
But I ain’t done much healing
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway in Pennsylvania, as she and Elijah met up.
He walked over to her to stand in front of Katherine.
“Katerina,” he greeted with a smile. “I’ve missed you.”
She smiled. “As have I.”
He rested a gentle hand on the side of her face and then took it away, before kissing her. She then kissed back.
*England-1492*
Hello…
Can you hear me?
I’m in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There’s such a difference between us
And a million miles
It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate in England, as he played chase with her.
She laughed saying, “You’re meant to catch me.”
He responded with, “If I catch you, then the game will be over.”
*500 Years of Solitude*
Hello from the other side
I must’ve called a thousand times
To tell you
I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’ve tried
To tell you
I’m sorry for breaking your heart
But it doesn’t matter
It clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
Hello
How are you?
It’s so typical of me to talk about myself
I’m sorry
I hope that you’re well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It’s no secret that the both of us are running out of time
After turning human, she’d called Elijah a lot that summer, but he’d never answered. Now that she’d had a heart attack and was surrounded by those who hated her the most, she decided to try again, but he still didn’t pick up, so she decided to finally leave a message.
“Elijah, it’s me. I need you. I’m dying of old age and may not make it to see tomorrow. I don’t know where you are that you’re not answering me, or even when you will get this. I know you will probably be out for vengeance for Elena shoving the cure down my throat, but don’t. It’s my fault for trying to kill her in rage after you broke up with me. Don’t blame yourself. There’s nothing anyone can do to save me. By the time you get this, I’ll be dead. Just do me a favor. If you run into Nadia Petrova, I want you to look out for her just as you did with me. She’s my daughter that only my parents and village knew about. Dying sucks, but the best thing is that I was reunited with her. I got to know my beautiful daughter before my time was up, and I love her. I love you too, Elijah.”
After all of that, she ended the call.

From the other side
After Elijah saw that he’d gotten a voicemail from her, against the part of him that was trying to move on, he listened to it and was glad that he had. He was angry and upset at what had happened, though. As soon as he’d finished listening to it, he’d called her but it had gone to voicemail. That could only mean one thing. She was gone; dead for good. Now his last memory of her would be her pleading to him to stay, and the hurt in her eyes when he’d chosen New Orleans and Klaus. He should’ve stayed, but he’d walked away, instead. Now, he’d never see her again, much less get to apologize.

I Need You (Kalijah)
It was a dark night as Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest Original sibling, watched Hayley Marshall from the balcony from his bedroom silently, as the pregnant werewolf sat on a bench and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, his phone went off.
He took it out of his suit pocket and saw it was Katerina.
“Katerina,” he greeted.
“Elijah,” she greeted back, not sounding like his usual Katerina.
“What’s wrong?”
“I need you. I’m dying. The cure got shoved down my throat. Since I turned 500 years ago, it’s killing me. Time is catching up with me.”
“I’m coming,” he said, before hanging up. He then went to his sister’s room where she was seated on her bed reading a girly magazine.
“I have to go. I’ll be back shortly.”
She set the magazine down and looked at him.
“Go where?”
“Mystic Falls. Katerina’s dying. I won’t be long. I’ll be back with her. Take care of Hayley.”
Before she could say anything else, he was gone.
An hour later, he walked into the room that she was in, to see her lying on her back in bed, a girl at her bedside whom he had never seen before. Katerina looked how she had the first time she was human, but yet she didn’t. He knew it was because she was dying and human. But it didn’t matter how she looked. He loved her all the same.
“Nadia, this is Elijah. Elijah, this is Nadia. She’s my daughter. She found me after looking for me for less than 500 years,” she introduced them.
“Nice to meet you. I’m glad Katerina has someone close to her other than myself,” he told Nadia. He then looked at his love life and said, “If you’d like, I could take you home with me. We can figure something out. I have to get home as soon as I can.”
“Thank you, Elijah. I’d love that.”
She looked at her daughter.
“Nadia, if you want, I’d love for you to come with me. After all, I did promise you that we’d leave this town as soon as we could. This is your chance to go somewhere you’ve never been before.”
“I’ll accompany you then. I’ll see what New Orleans has to offer.”
Elijah strode over to her bedside and Nadia stepped out of his way.
He gently picked her up in his arms and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
A moment later, he vanished from the room with her, Nadia at his right side, heading for New Orleans. After all, it was much quicker to get there using vamp speed than a car.
Once they arrived, he walked inside, invited Nadia inside, and headed upstairs. Then, once in a guest bedroom, he gently layed her down in bed and sat on her bedside, looking at her.
“I never should have left you on your own, Katerina. I thought you’d be safe. I’m so sorry. Please, forgive me.”
She rested a gentle hand on the right side of his face.
“You didn’t know what would happen. Elijah, I will always forgive you, no matter what. I love you.”
“I love you too, Katerina.”
She took her hand away from his face.
“You should go. You probably have something more important to do than to watch me slowly die. Besides, Nadia will be here to take care of me.”
He got to his feet, and then lightly kissed her forehead.
“I’ll be back later.”
She watched, as he left.
A moment later, Nadia came into the room and sat on her mother’s bedside.
Later that day, they got Davina to do a spell to help Kat, which was successful, and Kat and Nadia stayed with the Originals in New Orleans.
Suddenly, his phone went off.
He took it out of his suit pocket and saw it was Katerina.
“Katerina,” he greeted.
“Elijah,” she greeted back, not sounding like his usual Katerina.
“What’s wrong?”

Not Meant To Be (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
It’s never enough to say I’m sorry
It’s never enough to say I care
But I’m caught between what you wanted from me
And knowing that if I give that to you
I might just disappear
It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other in Pennsylvania in an alleyway.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he asked her.
“Of course, you’re not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.”
He turned his head away and she put her hand down.
“You don’t believe me,” she stated.
He looked at her. “I want to. It’s my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don’t know you. I don’t think I ever will.”
He began to walk away.
She stood there for a moment, thinking about what he’d just said, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand on his arm and then her a couple times, so she let go of him, getting the hint. Then he looked at her.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
That night, she found him and went to stand in front of him, where he was on a sidewalk.
“What do you want?”
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I—I’m starting to believe my own lies. I don’t even remember who I was when we first met. And I want to find out.” She took a box out of her purse.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“Yes. And I can shove this down Klaus’ throat and try to kill him, but even if I managed to do it, I’d lose you. And I don’t want to happen.” She set the vial of the cure in his hand and put his empty hand on top of the hand that held the cure, with her hands around his. “I want you to trust me. I need you to trust me. Just like I’m trusting you.” She took her hands away. “You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He watched, as she walked away and then looked down at the cure in his hand.
Nobody wins when everyone’s losing
It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, I can’t change your mind
I know it’s like trying to turn around on a one way street
I can’t give you what you want
And it’s killing me
And I, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be
Later that night, Elijah stood in front of her at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He loved her, but he couldn’t trust someone that would lie to him like she had today. He hated what he was about to do. He’d promised to protect her all those centuries ago, but he was so tired of figuring out if she was telling the truth or not. He was about to do the one thing that he hated to do to her. He had to leave to go help Klaus in New Orleans. He couldn’t stay, and family always came first for him. He always had to sacrifice love for family, no matter what. He always stood by his family, because of their vow centuries ago. Always and forever.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded, when he’d told her that he was leaving to go help Klaus out.
“Katerina.” He rested a hand on the side of her face, and then took it away and kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.” Then he was gone.
*Human Once Again*
It’s never enough to say I love you
No it’s never enough to say I try
It’s hard to believe
That there’s no way out for you and me
And it seems to be the story of our lives
Nobody wins when everyone’s losing
There’s still time to turn this around
You could be building this up instead of tearing it down
But I keep thinking
Maybe it’s too late
After Elijah left, her heart hurt and filled with anger, thinking that Elena had said something to Elijah in Pennsylvania when Elena’s humanity had been off, she ambushed her in the hallway of Mystic High. She then tried to kill Elena, but Elena shoved the cure down her throat, turning her human.
After the summer was over with, Katherine decided to go to her ex. He may have left her for Klaus yet again, but they didn’t need to trust each other for him to protect her from danger. Plus, having an Original on your side was usually a bonus. She needed him now more than ever, and figured that he’d protect her, no matter what. Besides, whether he left her or not, even if he didn’t love her, she still loved him. If their positions were reversed, she knew she’d do the same for him. So, she was going to go to Elijah for protection.
It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, baby, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be
After driving a car into New Orleans she’d hot-wired, she’d gotten into a wreck with a streetlight pole. So, now she sat in the driver’s side of the car, injured, everything going black. She was in pain, but it was starting to fade, as everything began to go black for her.
Elijah was walking, having left the bar after a few drinks, heading home, when, in a desolate area of New Orleans, he smelled the familiar mixed scents. He stopped in his tracks, smelling the scents of Katerina, blood, and human. Then, making up his mind and curious of why she was in town, he followed the scent trail.
Half an hour later, he found the source of what he was smelling. She was in a wrecked car, obviously injured, and it was apparent to him that she was human now, which he knew meant that someone had shoved the cure down her throat. He knew how much she’d loved being a vampire. He also knew her so well that he knew that being human was like a curse on her.
He blurred to the driver’s side and forced the jammed door open.
“Katerina.”
He scanned for what her injuries were, hoping she wasn’t too injured. He saw that there was a shard of glass stabbed into her thigh, which had opened up the artery in her leg. Her abdomen and lower stomach were also bleeding from a shard of glass, and there was blood on either side of her head. He also saw that she’d lost a lot of blood, since she was so pale with slow breathing. He pulled the shard of glass out of her lower stomach and tossed it to the floorboard, but didn’t bother with the other two. He figured the only reason she was still alive, was because the shards of glass were keeping her from quickly bleeding out. Careful of her injuries, he gently pulled her into his arms and then blurred home. Rebekah had been a nurse back in the day, so he figured that she could save her. He didn’t want to try vampire blood. No one had taken the cure before, so they didn’t know if there was any side effects to it. Also, there wasn’t a working hospital, due to Mikael in 1918, so he couldn’t take her to one. Rebekah was his only choice.
Once at the compound, he blurred her to a guest bedroom and onto a bed, gently laying her down, before calling for Rebekah. Then, after some convincing, she began to do what she could for Katherine, despite hating her for being able to run from Nik for 500 years, escaping him. She didn’t like that she didn’t get to get away from Nik, but Katherine had been able to. That didn’t mean she wanted Elijah to lose the love of his life, though. Besides, after the life she’d led as a vampire, she knew Katherine didn’t deserve to die from a mere car crash. So, she decided to save her life the best of her ability.
Half an hour or so later, Rebekah succeeded in saving her life and tending to her wounds, so Elijah moved her to his room and gently layed her down on his bed. Then he sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to, a hand on hers. After almost losing her tonight, he realized that he’d been wrong to leave her without a look back. If anything happened to her and he wasn’t there to save or try to save her, he’d never forgive himself. She was his world, despite the fact that he’d left her to her own. He’d thought that she’d be okay without him, but he knew now that he’d been wrong.
In the end, after she woke up, they rekindled their relationship, getting back together, once again, and he promised that he’d protect her, since she clearly needed protection and someone to be around to make sure she didn’t hurt herself on accident again.

If anything happened to her and he wasn’t there to save or try to save her, he’d never forgive himself. She was his world, despite the fact that he’d left her to her own. He’d thought that she’d be okay without him, but he knew now that he’d been wrong.
In the end, after she woke up, they rekindled their relationship, getting back together, once again, and he promised that he’d protect her, since she clearly needed protection and someone to be around to make sure she didn’t hurt herself on accident again.
Before You Tell Him Goodbye (Kalijah)
*Mystic Falls- Mikaelson Mansion*
I know there’s something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes
Yeah
You’ve built a love but that love falls apart
A little piece of Heaven turns too dark
It was a dark night in the living room at the Mikaelson mansion, as Elijah stood in front of the love of his life who he had chased for 500 years. She had asked him to decide where their relationship stood. He hadn’t decided, but he had to help Niklaus and was tired of all her lies and deceit.
He rested a gentle hand on the side of her face, silently looking at her, before taking his hand away.
“Goodbye, Katerina,” he said, choosing family over her, yet again.
He lightly kissed her on the forehead, before walking away, knowing how much it hurt her for him to put his brother before her. He knew she understood that he was keeping the family vow that they had made 1,000 years ago though; “We stick together, always and forever.”
*New Orleans- Bayou Cabin*
Listen to your heart
When he’s calling for you
Listen to your heart
There’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
It was a dark night, as he lay in bed at the cabin in the Bayou, suffering from Klaus’ bite, though it couldn’t kill him like it would a normal vampire. As far as he knew, he couldn’t die from Klaus’ bite, because of being an Original. Klaus had bitten him on the side of the neck in anger, because Elijah hadn’t believed Klaus, but had believed Tyler, when it came to his intentions for his unborn child.
Meanwhile, a very human and dying of old age Katherine was on her way to New Orleans. She believed that though he had left her for Klaus, he wouldn’t turn her away in her time of need.
*Save Me*
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide
Yeah
They’re swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging…to your dreams
The next night, after the symptoms had gone, he was met with a shock. Katerina he had left six or so month ago, now was dying of old age due to the cure being shoved down her throat. Now that he knew what was happening, he wouldn’t leave her. And if all possible, he would find a way to save her life.
Listen to your heart
When he’s calling for you
Listen to your heart
There’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
In the end, after Davina did a spell that reversed the rapid aging, they got back together. So all was well that ends well.

I know there’s something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea
You’ve built a love, but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark
It was a beautiful day, as she stood in front of him after he’d found out that she’d lied to him.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he asked her.
“No. Of course, you’re not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.”
He turned his face away and she put her hand down.
“You don’t believe me,” she realized.
“I want to. It’s my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don’t know you. I don’t think I ever will.”
He walked away, but she caught up with him and rested a hand on his arm, stopping him.
“Wait.”
He looked at the hand on his arm and then at her.
She took her hand away.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away from her.
Listen to your heart when he’s calling for you
Listen to your heart
There’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him.
“What do you want?” he questioned.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I don’t—I’m starting to believe my own lies. I don’t even remember who I was when we first met. And I want to find out.” She took a black box out of her purse.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“Yes. And I can shove this down Klaus’ throat and try to kill him, but even if I managed to do it, I’d lose you. And I don’t want that to happen.” She put the cure in his hand. “I need you to trust me. I want you to trust me. Just like I’m trusting you. You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He watched, as she walked away.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*

It was a nebulous night in New Orleans, as she lay on her back, injured, a distance from the wrecked car. She’d been able to get out, but that was all she could do. She knew she should fight, but she was human. Why try? Everyone seemed to think that Katherine being human meant they could push her around. Besides, she’d lost everything and everyone. Even Elijah had left six months ago. Yes, she’d come to New Orleans for his help, but if her accidentally crashing the car was a sign, she was doomed. So, why live? With those last thoughts, she closed her eyes.
*1492*
And there are voices that want to be heard
So much to mention but you can’t find the words
The scent of magic
The beauty that’s been
When love was wilder than the wind
It was a beautiful day on the estate, as Katerina sat on a cement bench by Elijah, after they’d played chase. She didn’t know what existed at the time, but she spoke the wisest words to him.
“If we cease to believe in love, then why would we want to live?”
*Present*

Elijah was heading home after a few drinks at the only bar in town, but when he smelled the mixed scents of blood, human, fire and Katerina, he blurred off to find her and soon saw the scene. Katerina was on the ground, human and injured, and had clearly gotten out of the wrecked car that was starting to catch fire, but being an injured human, that was all she could do.
He blurred to and knelt beside her. “Katerina.” He rested a hand on the side of her face. “Katerina, can you hear me? I need you to open your eyes.” He scanned her injuries, and saw an opened artery in her thigh and her lower stomach was bleeding, along with blood on either side of her head. He looked at her again. “Stay with me, Katerina.”
He got to his feet with her gently in his arms, and blurred to the hospital.
Don’t leave me, Katerina. Please, he thought to himself.
Listen to your heart

A few hours later, after she’d survived the surgery, Elijah was seated on her bedside, worried, a hand on hers, and his other hand on the side of her face. She’d lived through the surgery, but had a concussion. No one knew when she’d wake up.
“If you can hear me, Katerina, I’m here now. I’m not leaving again. I’m here, no matter what. Please, Katerina. Open your eyes.”
A few weeks later, she finally woke up, and she and Elijah rekindled their relationship.
