The Silence (Kalijah)
*Pennsylvania*
You lift me up and knock me down
I’m never sure just what to feel
When you’re around
I speak my heart but don’t know why
‘Cause you don’t never really say what’s on your mind
It’s like I’m walking on broken glass
I wanna know but I don’t wanna ask
So say you love me or say you’ll leave me
Don’t let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me or you don’t need me
Don’t let the silence
Do the talking
It was a beautiful day, as they argued in an alleyway after he found out that she lied to him and killed Jeremy Gilbert.
“Jeremy was collateral damage. I was doing what I had to to survive,” she told him.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he questioned.
“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. 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, and 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, and she took it away. He then looked at her.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch as he walked away, knowing that she was losing him.

You let me in but then sometimes
Your empty eyes just make me feel so cold inside
When I’m with you, it’s like rolling dice
Don’t know when or how you’re gonna make me cry
So, say you love me or say you’ll leave me
Don’t let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me, or you don’t need me
Don’t let the silence
Do the talking
It was a nebulous night, as they stood in front of each other. He’d just told her that he was going to go help Klaus in New Orleans.
She looked at him.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
He kissed her on the forehead.
“Goodbye, Katerina.”
A moment later, he was out of sight.
She stood there with silent tears in her eyes but refused to cry. Then the emotion of anger came. This was her doppelganger’s fault.
*Present Day-New Orleans*
It’s killing me, the silence
It’s killing me, the silence
The silence
It’s like I’m walking on broken glass
If this is the end, then please just make it fast
So, say you love me or say you’ll leave me
Don’t let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me, or you don’t need me
Don’t let the silence
Do the talking
It was a dismal night in New Orleans, as she sat in the driver’s seat, injured, in a lot of pain, pale from blood loss, and knowing she couldn’t just stay there and die, but her human body had other plans. She tried to stay awake, but it was useless. This was what she got for letting Elena beat her by shoving the cure down her throat, and for not paying attention and crashing the car. That was her last thought, before everything went black.
Elijah Mikaelson was heading home after a couple drinks at the only bar in town but stopped when he saw a car totaled with someone still inside. Smelling the blood and familiar scent, he knew all too well who it was, though he was shocked that she was human.
“Katerina!”
He blurred towards her side of the car and forced the door open, so he could get to her, and then rested gentle hands on either side of her head, as he scanned for what her injuries were. “Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her, desperate to save her if all possible. He doubted that he could though, with the injuries she had. There were some scrapes and scratches and blood on either side of her head. The worst injuries though were her lower stomach and a couple heavily bleeding thighs, one of which had a punctured artery. He was no doctor, but he knew that due to how much blood she was losing from it, she was bleeding to death. He didn’t know if she would live long enough for him to get her to the hospital. He could hear her breathing slowing.
This can’t be happening, he thought. He just lost Gia. He couldn’t lose Katerina. He gave her a kiss and rested his forehead against hers, closing his eyes. Please, Katerina. Don’t leave me. He took his forehead away from hers and opened his eyes. He then pulled her gently into his arms, careful of her injuries, and blurred towards the only working hospital.
The silence, the silence, the silence
The silence, the silence, the silence
You lift me up and knock me down
I’m never sure just what to feel
When you’re around
Ten minutes later, he watched as they rushed her down the hall to put her in surgery.
An hour and a half later, after surgery, he was seated on her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. She was lucky, as the doctor had told him. They’d lost her once during the surgery, but she was here, alive, the surgery successful. He didn’t know what he’d do without her existence. He’d broken up with her, but he was still very much in love with her. The only reason he’d been with Gia, was to try and move on, but he knew now that he couldn’t. Katerina was the one for him, no matter what she’d done or who she was these days.
A week later, she was released, and they got back together.
