Mirrors (Kalijah)
Aren’t you somethin’ to admire?
‘Cause your shine is somethin’ like a mirror
And I can’t help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
It was a dark night in New Orleans, as Katherine Pierce, newly turned human, sat in the wrecked car, blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass in her left side, a wound on her right thigh, blood on and around her and on her from the damage the crash had caused, pale from massive blood loss.
Meanwhile, Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest of the Original siblings, left the bar after a drink.
On his way home, he smelled the familiar scents of Katerina and blood, so he went to investigate, wondering why she would be in town.
A few minutes later, he saw her. As soon as he did, he knew she was human.
“Katerina!” he said, as he raced towards the dented and crinkled car, heart sinking. If she died because he hadn’t been there for her, he would never forgive himself.
As soon as he forced the door open, he knew she had lost a massive amount of blood.
He rested a gentle hand on the right side of her face.
“Katerina?” he called to her. “Katerina.”
He gently turned her head to look at him and saw how pale she was with eyes barely open to slits and glassed over. And with vamp hearing, he could hear her slow heartbeat, but he couldn’t hear her breathing.
“Stay with me, Katerina,” he said, as he gently slid his right arm under her, crook of arm supporting her head. With his free hand, he took the shard of glass out and tossed it to the ground, before sliding his left arm under her legs, gently pulling her into his arms.
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I’m always
Parallel on the other side
‘Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there’s no place we couldn’t go
Just put your hand on the glass
I’ll be tryin’ to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you now
I’m lookin’ right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a place that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I’ll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin’ back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It’s like you’re my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn’t get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it’s clear as this promise
That we’re making two reflections into one
‘Cause it’s like you’re my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren’t you somethin’, an original
‘Cause it doesn’t seem merely a sample
And I can’t help but stare
‘Cause I see the truth somewhere in your eyes
I can’t ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the same
Half an hour later, he was pacing in the waiting room, hoping not to lose her. This was his fault. He had left her once again for his family and hadn’t even made sure she was okay. The way he had left, he could still see the hurt in her eyes when he had chosen Klaus over here. She had begged him to stay and what had he done? He had left her hurt and alone. And sometime between him leaving and now, the cure had been shoved down her throat. He knew she loved being a vampire and knowing she was human, it was the only thing he could think of that would make sense. Why couldn’t he of answered her calls six months ago? Who knew what kind of Hell she had been through. And now, after the condition she was in, he may not ever get to apologize to her. For all he knew, she could’ve died because of his ignorance. He had been a jerk after looking out for her for 500 years. Just because he had left, didn’t mean he didn’t care. Elena had gotten in his head that she was a monster. Now, because of his actions, she had been stuck with those who wanted to see her dead. She had been hurt by his actions and alone. For all he knew, she could’ve been running scared and hopeless without anyone to turn to.
I’m so sorry. Forgive me, Katerina. You’re a fighter. I need you to be strong and fight. I don’t want to lose you. Please, Katerina. Don’t leave me.
‘Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I’ll be tryin’ to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you now
I’m lookin’ right at the other half o me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I’ll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin’ back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It’s like you’re my mirror
My mirror staring back at me

And now it’s clear as this promise
That we’re making two reflections into one
‘Cause it’s like you’re my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is History
Tomorrow’s a mystery
I can see you lookin’ back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you now
Finally, after a few hours, a doctor came to tell him that they had to revive her once, but she was recovering now. It was just the matter of her waking up. If she healed like normal, she would be fine, but right now, it was slow progress. Every organ in her body was failing. Then the doctor said that he could see her and, if he wished, he could take her home with him. Just like everyone in New Orleans, she knew who and what he was.
He thanked her and then went to her room, closing the door behind himself.

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
You are, you are the love of my life
Now you’re the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it’s already gone
And I can’t wait wait wait wait wait to get home
Just to let you know, you are
You are, you are the love of my life
Girl you’re my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You’re my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are, you are the love of my life
He went and sat on her bedside, thankful that she was still alive, but knew that she was dying. Not wanting to lose her, he bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal and save her, hoping the cure hadn’t made it impossible for her to digest vampire blood.
A few minutes later, he took her wrist away which instantly healed, and looked silently down at her.
He rested his hand in hers.
“Forgive me, Katerina. I abandoned you. I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry. I’m here for you now. I’m not leaving. I’m right here.”
A couple hours later, when she slowly woke up and saw where she was and who was there on her beside, she smiled.
“Elijah.”
“Katerina,” he said with a smile, thankful that she would live and be okay.
In the end, he took her home to where they all lived at, and she and Elijah got back together.
