Listen To Your Heart (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
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*
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea
They’re swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams
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 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?”

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.

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.
