I’d Always Come For You (Kalijah)


Just one more moment

That’s all that’s needed

Like wounded soldiers

In need of healing

Time to be honest

This time I’m pleading



        It was a beautiful day in an alley in New York, as they stood in front of each other, half arguing and half talking.

        “Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he questioned.

        “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. I love you.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “Elijah.” He moved his face away, and she dropped her hand. “You don’t believe me.”

        “I want to. It’s my disease. I just keep on 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.”

        She felt helpless and desperate to make him stay with her, but knew she couldn’t, as she watched him walk away.





        That night, when she handed the cure over to him, that was the first sign of trust that she had been willing to give him, and that he hadn’t seen in a very long time. As she had told him, he didn’t even owe her anything. She was letting him choose where they stood with their relationship.



Please don’t dwell on it

‘Cause I didn’t mean it



        That night, Elijah chose to follow Klaus to New Orleans, so he told her goodbye and kissed her on the forehead.

        After he had left, she was heartbroken and angry and, thinking Elena had said something to Elijah that had screwed everything up, Kat tried to kill her, but she got the cure shoved down her throat, turning her human.





        Six months later, she died and was taken somewhere that wasn’t the Other Side. It was a hellish prison world.



I can’t believe I said I’d lay our love on the ground

But it doesn’t matter ‘cause I made it up

Forgive me now

Every day I spend away

My soul since I love

Gotta be some way I can make it up to you now

Somehow



        It was a dismal night in New Orleans, as Elijah walked, heading for home after a few drinks. He was unhappy at Niklaus for everything but was staying due to the prophecy and Aurora. She hated Elijah for compelling her not to go with them back then but hated Klaus for moving on.

        He stopped, seeing a girl on the sidewalk. He hadn’t expected to see her in town as long as he and Klaus were here, nor had he expected her human. He knew she had to be human, smelling the blood.



By now you know that

I’d come for you

No one but you

Yes I’d come for you

But only if you told me to

I’d fight for you

I’d lie it’s true

Give my life for you

You know I’ll always come for you

I was blindfolded

But now I’m seeing

My mind was closing

Now I’m believing



        He blurred across the street towards her and knelt at her side. He rested gentle hands on either side of her head and scanned with his eyes for what her injuries were. She was very pale, as he did so.

        “Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her. “Katerina,” he said, after a moment of nothing.

        He gently picked her up in his arms and took her to the only working hospital, figuring she was human due to the cure, and not knowing if she could digest vampire blood.

        “I’m so sorry, Katerina. Forgive me. Stay with me, Katerina. Please,” he said, as he blurred towards the hospital.



I finally know just what it means to let someone in

To see the side of me that no one does

So if you’re ever lost and find yourself all alone

I’d search forever just to bring you home

Here and now I vow

By now you know that

I’d come for you

No one but you

Yes I’d come for you

But only if you told me to

I’d fight for you

I’d lie it’s true

Give my life for you

You know I’d always come for you

I’d always come for you

No matter what gets in my way

As long as there’s still life in me

No matter what

Remember you know I’ll always come for you



        After the doctors had cared for her, he sat on her bedside, his hand in hers. He hated seeing her like this, but was thankful that she was at least alive, even if she wouldn’t be waking anytime soon. It would break him if he lost her of all people. He couldn’t let Aurora find out about her. She might use or kill her.

        “Katerina, I don’t know if you can hear me, but I’m here. I’m not leaving. I will never leave you again. I promise. I never should’ve left. I hope you can forgive me someday.”



Yes I’d come for you

No one but you

Yes I’d come for you

But only if you told me to

And I’d come for you

No one but you

Yes I’d come for you

But only if you told me to

I’d fight for you

I’d lie it’s true

Give my life for you

You know I’d always come for you

No matter what gets in my way

As long as there’s still life in me

No matter what

Remember you know I’ll always come for you

You know I’ll always come for you



        In the end, a few months after Klaus had disposed of Aurora by sealing her in the Garden, she woke up from her mild coma just fine, and she and Elijah got a second chance.
