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.
