Break Even (Kalijah)
*Pennsylvania*
I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayin’ to a God that I don’t believe in
‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway, as they half talked and half argued.
“You killed Jeremy Gilbert,” he stated, before getting to his feet where he’d been crouching and thinking. He’d just found out that she’d lied to him.
She stood in front of him.
“Jeremy was collateral damage. I was doing what I had to do to survive,” she defended.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?”
“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 gentle hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.”
He turned his face away and she dropped her hand.
“You don’t believe me.”
“I want to,” he replied. “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 caught up with him and rested a hand on his arm, stopping him.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand that was on his arm.
She took her hand away.
He looked at her saying, “Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
*Mikaelson Mansion*
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even
Her best days will be some of my worst
She stood in front of him at the Mikaelson mansion. He’d just told her that he was leaving.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
He kissed her on the forehead.
“Goodbye, Katerina.”
*Secrecy-1752*
She finally met a man that’s gonna put her first
While I’m wide awake
She’s no trouble sleeping
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…even…no
Katherine had just finished feeding and sending a human on her way after compelling her to forget that she’d been fed on by a vampire, when she sensed someone.
She turned around to see Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest of the siblings and the love of her life.
“Elijah,” she greeted, but was wary. They were in love, but his brother was her greatest enemy who wanted her dead.
“Katerina,” he greeted back, taking a step towards her to come out of the shadows.
“What are you doing here?”
“I had to see you. I can’t stay for long though.”
A moment later, they were kissing.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK
I’m falling to pieces, yeah, I’m falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
‘Cause she’s moved on while I’m still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…no
It was a nebulous night in New Orleans, as human Katherine sat in the wrecked car, injured. There was blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass was protruding from her lower stomach, her shoulder was dislocated, and another shard of glass was in the side of her neck. She could feel the pain from it and all her other injuries, but she was never one to show her pain unless it was Elijah there. She didn’t want to die, but knew she would. She knew she’d lost a lot of blood. Plus, her vision was going black quicker than she cared for. She couldn’t stay awake like she wanted; needed to. As everything went black for her though, and it became hard for her to breathe, she could vaguely hear a familiar voice.
Elijah was walking down a desolate street, heading home, when he saw someone inside a wrecked car. He stopped, ready to go over to help whoever it was, when he smelled the familiar scent of Katerina mixed with the smell of blood and human which came as a shock to him. He’d never known her to even remotely want to be human again, nor be in the same town as Klaus.
“Katerina?” he questioned, before blurring over to her side of the car.
He used vamp strength to force the jammed door open which worked, and that’s when he saw her condition. He pulled the small shard of glass out of the side of her neck and tossed it to the floorboard, before resting gentle hands on either side of her head.
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her. He knew she was on the verge of critical condition, but if he could keep her from going to sleep long enough for him to get her to the hospital, he was sure that she’d be okay. “If you can hear me, open your eyes, Katerina. Don’t leave me. Please.” He gave her a gentle kiss, hoping it would work. He loved her, no matter what. He couldn’t live without her.
After a few minutes of nothing, he slid an arm under her.
A moment later, she barely opened her eyes to see him.
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. I should’ve made sure you were okay.” He slid his other arm under her legs. “Stay with me. You’re gonna be okay. Just stay with me.” He knew it was hard for her to stay awake and that she was in pain, but he had to keep her breathing and this was the only way he could do so.
Once he had her gently in his arms, he blurred towards the hospital.
Elijah stood back so the doctors could take care of her and watched. He hated seeing her hurt, which was kind of ironic since he’d hurt her by leaving. Now he might not get the chance to apologize, much less have a second chance with her. They were taking her down the hall to try and save her life, but she was slipping through his fingers. He’d heard them say that she had some internal and external injuries along with a concussion and a collapsing lung. He didn’t need to be a doctor to know that she was dying. At the end of the day, it was up to her to decide whether to fight for her life or give up.
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK
I’m falling to pieces, yeah
I’m falling to pieces, yeah
I’m falling to pieces (one still in love while the other one’s leaving)
I’m falling to pieces (‘cause when a heart breaks it don’t break even)
Four hours later, he was seated in a chair by her bedside, his hand in hers. The surgery had went well, apart from losing her once during the surgery, but now no one knew if or when she would awake. He knew he should just let her go to take away whatever pain she might be falling in her coma, but he couldn’t. Besides, it wouldn’t be fair to just pull the plug before she had a chance to fight for her life. She was Katherine; his Katerina. She would go down fighting with all she had.
He looked at her, as he held her hand.
“Oh, Katerina,” he said, and then gave a sigh. “What has happened to you?”
Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I’m try’na make sense of what little remains ooh
‘Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
He knew this was his fault that this had happened. He hadn’t looked out for her after breaking up with her. He had even gone so far as to ignore every single call she ever made to him. She could be dead by now for all he knew, and he wouldn’t know it unless he got a call.
He rested a gentle hand on her forehead and kissed her hand.
“Forgive me, Katerina. This is my fault.”
I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayin’ to a God I don’t believe in
‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even
While she was fighting for her life and slowly recovering, he stayed by her side, only leaving when he needed some blood, hoping that she would live. He couldn’t lose her. This couldn’t happen. If she ceased to exist, he couldn’t live anymore. They were the best parts of each other.
*Torture- 1692*
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that’s gonna put her first
While I’m wide awake she’s not trouble sleeping
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…even…no
After getting vervained, she groggily and very weakly woke up to some guys she didn’t know, who obviously had been waiting for her to wake up, one of whom had a rod in hand. The next thing she noticed was that her wrists were chained together with a long piece of chain that was connected to the ceiling of the basement.
“What do you want?” she questioned weakly.
“We need to know where the Original hybrid is,” one replied.
“I’m not telling you anything. It’s best if I don’t. You’ll get yourselves killed,” she replied. Her other reason was to keep Elijah from danger.
She didn’t know how long it went on for, them torturing her for information she wouldn’t tell them, her growing weaker from it. Their torture consisted of vervain, sunlight, stabbing her with a rod, and at one point was bitten.
When she was weak, sweaty, and her vision was gray-blackish, she couldn’t quite hear what he’d said, but she could now see him killing them. Then, after some pain came from being stabbed with something for the last time, everything went black.
After his killing spree of a few wolves and vampires, he blurred over to stand in front of her. She was already desiccating with a stake in her and he could see a wolf bite on the side of her neck.
He pulled the stake out, tossing it to the floor, and gently lifted her head. He then used the vial of Klaus’ blood to cure her, saving her life, and her color began to return to normal. When that was done, he untied her from the chains and gently layed her down on the floor.
When she began to awaken, it relieved him, knowing that she would be just fine now.
He gave a smile.
*Playing Chase- 1492*
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK
It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate in England, as she and Elijah played chase.
“You’re meant to catch me.”
“Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”
*Present Day*
(Oh glad you’re okay now)
I’m falling to pieces
(Oh I’m glad you’re okay)
I’m falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other one’s leaving)
I’m falling to pieces
(‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even)
Oh it don’t break even no
Oh it don’t break even no
Oh it don’t break even no
After she was awake and fully recovered, she was released and he temporarily took her home with him, but a week later, they moved together to a small town where they could both start over without constant supernatural issues or drama. In the end, they got back together.

I Won't Give Up (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
When I look into your eyes
It’s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there’s so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you’ve come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
Well, I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
And when you’re needing your space
To do some navigating
I’ll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
‘Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We’ve got a lot to learn
God knows we’re worth it
No, I won’t give up
I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
It was a beautiful day in Pennsylvania, as Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?”
“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.
She dropped her hand.
“You don’t believe me.”
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 caught up with him and put a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He stopped and looked at her hand, then her, then her hand, and finally her again.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She watched, as he walked away.
*Night*
It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him.
“What do you want?” he asked in an irritated tone.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying to survive that 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 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, before looking down at the cure in his hand.
*American Gothic- Mikaelson Mansion*
I’m here to stay and make the different that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you’re still my friend, we didn’t burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I’ve got, and what I’m not, and who I am
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up, I’m still looking up
It was a nebulous night, as Elijah stood in front of her. He’d just told her that he was leaving town to help Klaus in New Orleans.
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded with him.
“Katerina.”
He kissed her on the forehead.
“Goodbye, Katerina.”
She could only watch, as he left. She didn’t show it, but it hurt that he’d just left her for Klaus, yet again. This time, she knew that Elijah had given up on her redemption. She knew he’d lost his trust in her. She could only hope that he’d come back for her someday.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
Well I won’t give up on us (No I’m not giving up)
God knows I’m tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We’ve got a lot to learn (We’re alive, we are loved)
God knows we’re worth it (and we’re worth it)
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
It was a dark night, as Elijah returned to town, having heard what had happened between Katerina and Elena. He knew he had to come back, knowing that she most likely felt alone and was afraid. She had many enemies and she’d loved being a vampire. Being a vampire had been everything. She needed help and protection and he’d be glad to give it to her. He may have left, but he still loved her with his whole heart. If anything happened to her, those responsible would regret harming her in any way, shape, or form. He’d die for her if it ever came down to it.
He stopped the car, seeing a wrecked car with her still in it, and blurred to her side of the car. He opened the door. There was some blood on the left side of her head and scratches in other places, but it looked like she’d be okay. She’d just blacked out was all.
He gently picked her up in his arms and set her in the passenger seat of his car. Then he began driving back to New Orleans.

She had many enemies and she’d loved being a vampire. Being a vampire had been everything. She needed help and protection and he’d be glad to give it to her. He may have left, but he still loved her with his whole heart. If anything happened to her, those responsible would regret harming her in any way, shape, or form. He’d die for her if it ever came down to it.
He stopped the car, seeing a wrecked car with her still in it, and blurred to her side of the car. He opened the door. There was some blood on the left side of her head and scratches in other places, but it looked like she’d be okay. She’d just blacked out was all.
He gently picked her up in his arms and set her in the passenger seat of his car. Then he began driving back to New Orleans.
Bad Day (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
It was a beautiful day, as Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alleyway.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused.
“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.”
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.
After a moment, she caught up with him and put a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand on his arm and then at her a couple times, which gave her the hint to let go, so she let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
‘Cause you had a bad day
You’re takin’ one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
That night, they stood in front of each other on a sidewalk, when she found him.
“Wait,” she said.
“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 answered him.
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?” he questioned her.
“Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me too.” She brought the cure out of her purse.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“I do. 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 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.”
She turned and walked away.
He watched, as she walked away, and then looked down at the cure in his hand.
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Will you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
You had a bad day!
Later that night, they met at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls and he informed her that he was leaving town.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded.
“Katerina.” He kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
A moment later, he was gone.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the passenger seat of the car which she’d accidentally crashed into a pole, injured badly. She’d caused the wreck when she’d tried to get as far away as she could from Silas. So now she was quite injured, trying to stay awake, which wasn’t working out for her very well. Everything was beginning to go black for her.
Ohh…holiday..
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that strong
And I’m not wrong
Yeahh
So where is the passion when you need it the most?
Ohh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
‘Cause you had a bad day!
Elijah had just returned to town to make sure that Katerina was okay, needing a break from the New Orleans drama and Klaus. So here he was. He was out searching for her and, after an hour of aimlessly walking around town trying to find her, he finally found her in a desolate area by the woods. She was in a wrecked car.
“Katerina!”
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the jammed door open. He then looked her over. There was blood on either side of her head and a shard of glass protruding from her lower stomach and another shard of glass in her thigh, which had opened up an artery. She was heavily bleeding and very pale. She was also human, which was a surprise, considering the last time he’d seen her, she’d been a vampire. He knew she loved being a vampire, which meant that someone must have shoved the cure down her throat. It was the only explanation he could come up with.
He gently pulled her into his arms and out of the wreckage and blurred to the hospital.
“Stay with me, Katerina,” he pleaded, though he didn’t know if she could hear him or not.
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room after watching them rush her down the hall to get her into surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay. It couldn’t end this way. Just because he’d left, didn’t mean he didn’t love her and care for her. He would always love and care for her.
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
When she was in the recovery room a few hours after, he went and sat on her bedside, waiting for her to wake up, though she’d just gotten out of surgery.
He rested a hand on the side of her face and another on her hand.
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. I should’ve made sure you were okay,” he apologized, hoping she’d hear him.

Words As Weapons (Kalijah)
*Pennsylvania*
All I really want is something beautiful to say
Keep me locked up in your broken mind
I keep searching, never been able
To find a light behind your dead eyes
Not anything at all
You keep living in your own lie
Ever deceitful and ever unfaithful
Keep me guessing, keep me terrified
Take everything from my world
Say, “Can you help me?” right before the fall
Take what you can and leave me to the wolves
Keep me dumb, keep me paralyzed
Why try swimming? I’m drowning in fable
You’re not that saint that you externalize
You’re not anything at all
(All I really want is something beautiful to say)
It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah.
“What do you want?” he said, his tone saying he didn’t want to talk to her.
“To tell you that you’re right. I spent so much time running and lying just to survive that 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 don’t 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 manage to do it, I’d lose you. And I don’t want that to happen.” She put the box in his hand. “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, before looking down at the cure in his hand.
*Mystic Falls*
It’s all so playful when you demonize
To spit out the hateful, you’re willing and able
Your words are weapons of the terrified
You’re nothing in my world
Say, “Can you help me?” right before the fall
Take what you can and leave me to the wolves
It was a nebulous night at the Mikaelson place, as Elijah stood in front of her.
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded, Elijah having told her that he was leaving town to go follow Klaus to New Orleans.
He kissed her on the forehead.
“Goodbye, Katerina.”
As he walked away, she stood there with a shattered, broken heart.

It was a nebulous night, as a human Katherine sat in the driver’s seat in the wrecked car, injured. She’d been driving to wherever to keep distance between her and Damon. He’d tried having her go back to the boarding house to hand her over to Silas. She’d tried to run though and had rammed the car into a streetlight pole, wrecking the car and injuring herself.
As she sat there, injured, she knew she was going to die if she didn’t get to the hospital, but she couldn’t go anywhere. Her human body didn’t want to go anywhere. Another reason was because she was too injured with blurred vision, as well as being stuck and in a lot of pain. She was stuck with what felt like a part of the car from the floorboard on her foot. It also felt like she had a sprained or fractured leg. She could feel her injured side, thigh, and possible dislocated shoulder. Plus she could feel blood on either side of her head and it felt as if she was losing a lot of blood.

Elijah Mikaelson was driving through Mystic Falls looking for Katerina. He’d heard from Caroline what had happened, so he was staying in town to keep her safe. That was his plan. He would protect her with his life.
When he saw the wrecked car and Katerina, he pulled over and once he got out, blurred to the wrecked car. When he had the door forced open, he could see that she was injured. There was blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass protruding from her side and in her thigh, and her thigh had an opened artery. It also looked like her shoulder was dislocated and her leg was possibly dislocated too.
He rested a gentle hand on the right side of her head.
“Katerina. Can you hear me, Katerina?” he called to her.
After a moment of nothing, he took his hand away and once her leg was free and shards of glass were out, he gently picked her up in his arms and blurred to his SUV and opened the passenger’s door. He then gently sat her in the seat and closed the door, before getting back in and driving towards the hospital to save her life. He didn’t dare feed her vampire blood, not knowing if she could digest it.
Half an hour later, she was rushed down the hospital hallway, as Elijah watched silently. He could only hope that she would live. He didn’t want him saying goodbye to her to be the last memory he had of her. It couldn’t end like this.
Five hours later, after she survived surgery, he walked into her room and sat on her bedside, a hand on the left side of her face, waiting for her to come to.
An hour later, she woke up to see Elijah seated on her bedside with his hand on the side of her face, his other hand on top of her right one. That let her know that he’d saved her and she was relieved about that, though he’d left six months ago.
She smiled.
“You came back.”
He smiled.
“Of course, I came back for you, Katerina. I’d do anything for you, no matter what.”
“Well, thanks for saving my life. Are you staying?” she questioned, sitting up in bed.
“I am. I’m here to protect you, no matter what happens from this moment on,” he informed her.
She smiled at that and he smiled back.

You Found Me (Kalijah)
Introduction
You know how they say you’ll find “the one”? They say everyone has that one for them that will die for them any day. Well, not everyone gets to keep their soulmate. There were once two vampires who were completely in love. Elijah loved her so much that once, he betrayed his brother to save her life. She was the love of his life, but after running for 500 years, she changed into someone else. She was no longer the girl he fell in love with. She became Katherine, who others called evil, conniving, and a bitch. For 500 years, he had always been there for her, but when he got tired of not knowing her true intentions, he broke up with her. They didn’t see each other for a very long time, afterward. This is the story of Katerina Petrova, later Katherine Pierce, and Elijah Mikaelson. This is their story.
It was a dark night, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He had just told her that he was leaving town to go help Klaus in New Orleans. He was technically breaking up with her and leaving her for his brother.
“Elijah, it’s our turn. Please,” she begged him, trying to get him to stay.
“Goodbye, Katerina,” he said, before kissing her on the forehead and vanishing.
As she stood there, she knew now that he had lost all trust and faith in her. It was her fault for lying so many times, but she didn’t know how else to act. All she knew anymore was how to run and lie to survive. Now she was completely and utterly alone. It wasn’t just her fault, though. Elena Gilbert had said something to him back in Pennsylvania, when Elena’s humanity had been off. She just didn’t know what she had said to him.
Later at the Mystic High, she ambushed her in a hallway, angry, and through her against a set of lockers.
“What did you say to him to make him turn against me?” she growled.
Elena got to her feet.
“You ruined my life. I never got to have a graduation, or, well, a life,” Katherine continued, as she through her again.
“I ruined your life? You killed my brother,” Elena growled, before throwing a locker door at her.
Katherine through it aside with an arm, before it could hit her.
“Okay. I’ll admit. That was nasty.”
When she had beaten Elena up pretty good and she was on her back on the floor, Katherine dug a broken wooden mop handle in her throat, but before she could inch it towards her heart to kill her, Elena shoved the cure for vampirism down her throat.
As Katherine lay on her back on the floor, out cold, Elena turned her head to look at her.
“Have a nice human life, Katherine.”
For an entire summer Katherine walked the streets alone, homeless, hungry, and not knowing what to do. But at the end of the summer, she let herself into the Salvatore boarding house and grabbed herself a shot glass of bourbon, slowly sipping it. She was tired of being afraid, running, and having no plan of action. She needed help, and Damon had once loved her the most.
A few minutes later, he walked inside that night, closing the door behind himself, and walked into the living room.
“Katherine.”
“Hello, Damon.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I need your help. I have enemies. If word gets out that I’m human, I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and slow. Do you know what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon.”
“You’re miserable.”
“Please, I’m a survivor,” she replied.
He bit his wrist and held it out to her.
“Drink up.”
“No one’s taken the cure before. There’s a chance I might never wake up. And deep down in that Elena-loving heart of yours, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she reasoned.
Seeing her point, he promised that he would protect her, but she drove off when he broke his promise. He was going to hand her over to Silas, so she sped out of Mystic Falls.
Before she knew it, she was in New Orleans.
Elijah was on his way home, when he smelled blood and a very familiar scent.
Once by a desolate street, he saw a car that had obviously crashed into a streetlight pale. The car was all dented and crinkled, while the windows were all shattered.
“Katerina!” he yelled, as he raced towards the wreck.
Once at the driver’s side, he forced the door open and looked down at her. He could easily see that she was injured, what with the blood.
“Katerina,” he said.
He bit his wrist.
“The cure did something to me. I can’t digest vampire blood,” she informed him weakly, as her vision blurred and dimmed.
His wrist instantly healed and, as he gently pulled her into his arms, everything went black for her.
With Katerina in his arms, he blurred towards the only working New Orleans hospital. Even though he left her a few months ago, he was determined not to lose his Katerina. She was his love of 500 years. He’d die before he let anything happen to his Katerina. She was the love of his life.
An hour later, the doctors had taken care of her and he was seated on her bedside, waiting for her to wake up.
He rested a hand on top of her right one.
“Oh, Katerina,” he said, thankful he had been there to save her, but wishing he had been there for her earlier. She either took the cure, or someone had shoved it down her throat. He hadn’t been there, but he was now. Why hadn’t she called for his help? He would’ve come as soon as he knew what had happened. Just because he had broken up with her, didn’t mean he didn’t care about or love her anymore. He would always love her. She was one of those types of girls that you could never get over. A part of her would always be with him.
When she woke up, she saw that she was in a hospital with Elijah seated on her bedside.
She smiled.
“Elijah.”
He smiled back.
“Welcome back, Katerina. What happened to you?”
“I’ll give you the cliff notes,” she replied, before telling him everything.
“Why didn’t you come to me sooner? I will always help you, no matter what. You know that,” he said, once she had finished.
“Because we broke up. I didn’t think you would help me.”
“I will always save you, Katerina. You are a part of me, always and forever.”
They smiled and then kissed.
They pulled away.
“Let’s go home,” he said.
She agreed, and he took her home with him to the plantation home he, Hayley, and his siblings were staying at until they could get their family home back from Marcel.
A few weeks later, she had her full strength back. She even stayed there with them, though Elijah’s siblings and Hayley hated Kat being under the same roof as them.
You know how they say you’ll find “the one”? They say everyone has that one for them that will die for them any day. Well, not everyone gets to keep their soulmate. There were once two vampires who were completely in love. Elijah loved her so much that once, he betrayed his brother to save her life. She was the love of his life, but after running for 500 years, she changed into someone else. She was no longer the girl he fell in love with. She became Katherine, who others called evil, conniving, and a bitch. For 500 years, he had always been there for her, but when he got tired of not knowing her true intentions, he broke up with her. They didn’t see each other for a very long time, afterward. This is the story of Katerina Petrova, later Katherine Pierce, and Elijah Mikaelson. This is their story.
It was a dark night, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He had just told her that he was leaving town to go help Klaus in New Orleans. He was technically breaking up with her and leaving her for his brother.
“Elijah, it’s our turn. Please,” she begged him, trying to get him to stay.
“Goodbye, Katerina,” he said, before kissing her on the forehead and vanishing.
As she stood there, she knew now that he had lost all trust and faith in her. It was her fault for lying so many times, but she didn’t know how else to act. All she knew anymore was how to run and lie to survive. Now she was completely and utterly alone. It wasn’t just her fault, though. Elena Gilbert had said something to him back in Pennsylvania, when Elena’s humanity had been off. She just didn’t know what she had said to him.
Later at the Mystic High, she ambushed her in a hallway, angry, and through her against a set of lockers.
“What did you say to him to make him turn against me?” she growled.
Elena got to her feet.
“You ruined my life. I never got to have a graduation, or, well, a life,” Katherine continued, as she through her again.
“I ruined your life? You killed my brother,” Elena growled, before throwing a locker door at her.
Katherine through it aside with an arm, before it could hit her.
“Okay. I’ll admit. That was nasty.”
When she had beaten Elena up pretty good and she was on her back on the floor, Katherine dug a broken wooden mop handle in her throat, but before she could inch it towards her heart to kill her, Elena shoved the cure for vampirism down her throat.
As Katherine lay on her back on the floor, out cold, Elena turned her head to look at her.
“Have a nice human life, Katherine.”
For an entire summer Katherine walked the streets alone, homeless, hungry, and not knowing what to do. But at the end of the summer, she let herself into the Salvatore boarding house and grabbed herself a shot glass of bourbon, slowly sipping it. She was tired of being afraid, running, and having no plan of action. She needed help, and Damon had once loved her the most.
A few minutes later, he walked inside that night, closing the door behind himself, and walked into the living room.
“Katherine.”
“Hello, Damon.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I need your help. I have enemies. If word gets out that I’m human, I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and slow. Do you know what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon.”
“You’re miserable.”
“Please, I’m a survivor,” she replied.
He bit his wrist and held it out to her.
“Drink up.”
“No one’s taken the cure before. There’s a chance I might never wake up. And deep down in that Elena-loving heart of yours, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she reasoned.
Seeing her point, he promised that he would protect her, but she drove off when he broke his promise. He was going to hand her over to Silas, so she sped out of Mystic Falls.
Before she knew it, she was in New Orleans.
Elijah was on his way home, when he smelled blood and a very familiar scent.
Once by a desolate street, he saw a car that had obviously crashed into a streetlight pale. The car was all dented and crinkled, while the windows were all shattered.
“Katerina!” he yelled, as he raced towards the wreck.
Once at the driver’s side, he forced the door open and looked down at her. He could easily see that she was injured, what with the blood.
“Katerina,” he said.
He bit his wrist.
“The cure did something to me. I can’t digest vampire blood,” she informed him weakly, as her vision blurred and dimmed.
His wrist instantly healed and, as he gently pulled her into his arms, everything went black for her.
With Katerina in his arms, he blurred towards the only working New Orleans hospital. Even though he left her a few months ago, he was determined not to lose his Katerina. She was his love of 500 years. He’d die before he let anything happen to his Katerina. She was the love of his life.
An hour later, the doctors had taken care of her and he was seated on her bedside, waiting for her to wake up.
He rested a hand on top of her right one.
“Oh, Katerina,” he said, thankful he had been there to save her, but wishing he had been there for her earlier. She either took the cure, or someone had shoved it down her throat. He hadn’t been there, but he was now. Why hadn’t she called for his help? He would’ve come as soon as he knew what had happened. Just because he had broken up with her, didn’t mean he didn’t care about or love her anymore. He would always love her. She was one of those types of girls that you could never get over.

She smiled.
“Elijah.”
He smiled back.
“Welcome back, Katerina. What happened to you?”
“I’ll give you the cliff notes,” she replied, before telling him everything.
“Why didn’t you come to me sooner? I will always help you, no matter what. You know that,” he said, once she had finished.
