Time (Kalijah)

*1492*



Well, the streets are empty where we used to run

And the cars are all on fire

Yeah, we fall like leaves in the garden of

Eden…

Eden…

Now remember how it felt being in the sun

When I heard the ancient choir

In the dead of night like an angel

Singing…

Singing…



        It was a beautiful day, as she and Elijah played chase.

        “You’re meant to catch me,” she said with a laugh.

        “Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over,” he replied.

        They went and sat on a bench. She spoke of love to him and then said, “True love is not real unless it is returned. Do you agree?”

        “I do not believe in love, Katerina,” he replied.

        “That is too sad for me to accept, my Lord. If we cease to believe in love, then why would we want to live?”



Yeah, time doesn’t love you anymore

But I’m still knocking at your door

Honey we can run forever

If forever it’s what’s in store

Oh

Time

To take me home

On a tree in the garden

I carved your name

In a word is spelled desire

Like an ocean deep with the waters

Heaving

Heaving



        Katerina ran through the woods, having fled with the moonstone, having found out what they were and what Klaus wanted; needed to do to her during the ritual.





        After escaping and turning into a vampire, she arrived at her Bulgarian village, only to find her village slaughtered, including her family. She ran to where her mother lay and wept over her.



*American Gothic*



And the love pours down like a waterfall

And I can’t escape the tide

Here’s my hand, baby take it or

Leave it

Leave it

‘Cause time doesn’t love you anymore

But I’m still knocking on your door

Honey we can run forever

If forever it’s what’s in store



        It was a beautiful day, as she and Elijah met under a gazebo in Pennsylvania.

        “I’ve missed you,” he said.

        She smiled. “As have I.”



Oh

Time

To take me home

Home, home…

Now we’re too young to recognize

That nothing stays the same

Promise I won’t be the one to blame

‘Cause time doesn’t love you anymore

But I’m still knocking on your door

Honey we can run forever

If forever it’s what’s in store



        They stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place.

        “It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded, wanting him to stay.

        He rested a hand on the side of her face. “Katerina.” For a moment, he looked at her. Then he said, “Goodbye, Katerina,” once he’d kissed her on the forehead. Then he was gone, but he wasn’t leaving her for good. He just had to once again, put his family before her.



*Always and Forever*



Oh,

Time doesn’t love you like I love you

So take me home

Home, home…

Let me hear you say

Let me hear you say



        It was a dismal night, as they stood in the plantation house, talking on his balcony, after he’d brought her to the house after getting her away from the witches. She was somehow pregnant with his child.

        “I will always protect you, Katerina,” he promised her, a hand on the side of her face.

        She smiled, knowing that he would never break promises.

        A moment later, they kissed.
