The Sun Also Rises (1st revised version)
Elena stood upstairs.
"You invited him in?" Damon questioned, figuring Elena wasn't thinking correctly.
"Yes. He promised to forget the past and help us, as long as we apologize to him," Elena replied.
"I'm sorry we killed you," Stefan said, knowing that they needed all the help they could get.
Everyone looked at Damon.
"What? I'm not apologizing to him."
Elena looked at Elijah.
"He'll come around."
"I doubt it," Elijah responded.
Elijah followed Elena downstairs to stand beside her not far from the eldest Salvatore brother. Then he went to stand at the entrance to the living room.
"Elijah has something that will help. An elixir," Elena explained.
"We need something better," Damon replied.
Stefan was silent from where he stood by the couch.
Just then, everyone looked at Katherine Pierce as she walked in. She stopped by Elijah and said, "Nice to see you again. I'm sorry for what I did. I was just trying to survive."
"I understand, Katerina."
Katherine walked up to stand by Damon and Elena.
"Katerina?" Damon questioned.
"It was my human name. Elijah fell in love with me when he met me. I was Klaus' doppelganger and so I ran. Rose wanted to take me to Klaus, so he and Rose argued after Rose stopped me from killing myself. I hung myself but woke up in transition. When Rose tried to stake me, I shielded myself by using the owner of the cabin. Rose staked the owner and I fed. I apologized before I left, though. When I returned home, my villagers were all dead. Klaus slaughtered my people, including my family. I changed my name when I came to America from Bulgaria. But I didn't come here to tell you my tragic life of heartbreak and loneliness."
"Why are you here?" Stefan asked calmly.
"Yes. Why did you come?" Damon said in his usual voice he reserved only for Katherine.
"I came to help in any way I can. I won't let another family member die from Klaus."
"She won't stay dead for long. I have an elixir," Elijah informed her.
"Will it work?"
"Yes."
"You don't know that," Damon said. "There's only one way to know that she'll come back."
"Don't even think about it," Kat said, glaring at him.
"What do you propose we do then?" Damon asked.
"I'm thinking," she answered, no longer glaring.
Suddenly, arrows started flying. One got Damon in the back. Stefan and Elijah left to find the shooter. At the same time, Kat got in the way of an arrow that would've gotten Elena and got her down, before Kat rolled onto her right side in pain and agony.
"Elena, pull it out," Damon instructed.
Elena went over and pulled the arrow out of his back, as the arrows stopped.
Once it was out, Damon went over and quickly pulled Kat's out of her back.
"Elena, get some blood from the basement and a shot glass from the table," he instructed, as he gently rolled Kat onto her back and pulled her into his arms.
Elena obeyed.
"Hang in there, Kat," he said calmly.
Elena came back with a shot glass of blood.
Damon gently lifted Kat's head and put the glass to her lips.
"Drink."
Though she was in pain and weak, she obeyed him and slowly began to drink.
"What's wrong?" Elena asked.
"There was vervain on the arrows. She doesn't sip vervain everyday like I do, so it affects her in the wrong way. Blood helps."
Elena understood now.
Kat felt better after finishing the glass, so he helped her up and led her over to the couch. He then helped her sit down on the couch.
Stefan and Elijah came back.
"We got rid of them," Elijah announced.
"Good," Damon replied.
"Thanks, Damon," Kat said.
"You're welcome."
"Is she okay?" Elijah asked.
"She'll be fine. I gave her some blood. No big deal," Damon answered.
"You invited him in?" Damon questioned, figuring Elena wasn't thinking correctly.
"Yes. He promised to forget the past and help us, as long as we apologize to him," Elena replied.
"I'm sorry we killed you," Stefan said, knowing that they needed all the help they could get.

How You Remind Me (Kalijah)
*American Gothic- Day*
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I’m sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It’s not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I’m mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
It was a beautiful day, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah in an alleyway in Pennsylvania.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused 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.
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, resting a hand on his arm.
He stopped walking and looked at her, then her hand, then her, then her arm, and finally her again.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away, knowing that she’d lost his trust when she’d lied to him. Even if it was only one time.
*American Gothic- Night*
These five words in my head
Scream, “are we having fun yet?”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
It’s not like you didn’t know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood in front of him on a sidewalk, stopping him from going anywhere.
“Wait.”
“What do you want?” he questioned, irritated, wanting to be left alone.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just 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 the vial of the cure out of her purse and set it in his hand.
“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. You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He was silent and looked at the cure, before watching her walk away.
*Mikaelson Mansion*
It’s not like you to say sorry

Scream “are we having fun yet?”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
It was a nebulous night, as Elijah stood in front of her, having just told her that he had chosen to go to New Orleans to help Klaus. He was following Klaus to New Orleans. He still loved her, but at the time, he felt like he had to once again choose his family over her. And so, he chose his family over love just like he always did.
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded with him, wanting him to stay with her so they could finally be together without Klaus’ interference.
“Katerina.” He kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
She watched with a broken heart, as he walked away once again, choosing Klaus over her. This time though, she knew that this was partly her fault for lying to him. She’d broken his trust. She understood that he didn’t know if he could trust her or not anymore.

It was a beautiful day, as Katerina and Elijah played chase on the Mikaelson estate. She stopped and laughed, saying, “You’re meant to catch me.”
He smiled and replied, saying, “Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”
