We Might Fall
*1492*
We should go to sleep now
You should stay the night
I’ll be up to watch the world around us live and die
Lying on the grass now
Dancing for the stars
Maybe one will look on down
And tell us who we are
We might fall, we might fall
We might fall, Hallie, we might fall
We might fall, we might fall
We might fall, Hallie, we might fall
I could learn to walk the link or learn to train the bears
Tell me are you crazy and did you mind the cold?
It was a dismal night at the ball, as she stood by a food table. She was here to meet someone.
Elijah came up to her. He was silent for a moment. She looked exactly like Tatia he’d loved, but she’d died.
“Forgive me. You remind me of someone,” he said, getting over the resemblance a moment later.
He introduced himself and she did a curtsey.
“Pleasure meeting you, my Lord.”
He took her hand and kissed it.
“The pleasure’s all mine, Katerina.”
*Bulgaria*
After fleeing from Klaus and turning, she returned to her village, only to find everyone slaughtered.
She entered the cabin, only to find her parents killed. She gasped at her father hanging from the wall with a sword through him, but didn’t grieve for him. Her mother, however, she ran to, and knelt on the bed by her, and saw that her throat was torn open.
“No, ma’ma,” she sobbed, and wept over her, before fleeing Bulgaria.
*American Gothic*
Tell me are you comfortable if comfortable at all?
We might fall, we might fall
We might fall, Hallie, we might fall
We might fall, we might fall
We might fall, Hallie, we might fall
Now that we are older I remember you
Reaching out to show me all the things that I must do
It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him on a sidewalk.
“What do you want?” he asked.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I—I’m starting to believe my own lies. I don’t even remember when we first met. And I want to find out.”
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?” he inquired.
“Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me, too.”
*500 Years Of Solitude*
Now that we are older, I remember youth
Now that we are close to death and close to finding truth
We might fall, we might fall
We might fall, Hallie, we might fall
We might fall, we might fall
We might fall, Hallie, we might fall
Katherine, human, lay in bed on bedrest, having had a heart attack the night before.
*3 Years Later*
After Elijah and Kol were bitten by Marcel, Rebekah hexed, and Freya poisoned, they were put in a sleeping spell and in coffins, until cures could be found and made.
Sha la la sha la la sha la la
Hey now
Sha la la sha la la sha la la
Heey
We might fall
After cures were made, they were woken up and cured.

Holding On For Him (Kalijah)
They say we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from and we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don’t care
And I said, what about Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
She said, “I think I remember the film
As I recall, I think we both kinda liked it”
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls at the Salvatore boarding house, as Katherine, newly turned human again, layed in bed in a guest room upstairs, knowing she wasn’t far away from joining the Other Side. She wanted to hang on just a while longer, though. If Elijah knew what was happening to her and was on his way, she didn’t want to die before he could say goodbye to her. She wanted him here. Just being in his presence always gave her some kind of peace. She couldn’t say why or how, but he gave her peace. Having him a part of her life made her have hope that she could have a chance at being forgiven. She had done such horrible things that she knew something horrible waited for her on the Other Side. She could make peace with that though, if she could be forgiven. It would be a relief to her just to see Elijah one last time. She doubted that Klaus had told him of her condition, though. He hated her with a dark passion. Worse than Damon did.
I see you, the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now it’s plain to see we’re over
And I hate when things are over
After waiting for him to show up and he didn’t, she took her last breath, not knowing what was going to happen next, or what Elijah felt about her now that she was dead.
When so much is left undone
They say we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from and we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don’t care
Two years later, she miraculously came back to life after surviving hell in the 1994 prison world with Kai. When she came back to life though, she was in terrible shape. Kai had done a number on her, but she had to get somewhere safe. Find Elijah. She had ended up in New Orleans, after all. And what better Mikaelson to go to than Elijah? They may have broken up, but he was still the noble brother.

When she was on a desolate street, her vision went dim from blood loss, and she leaned against a wall. Then everything went black.
Elijah was on his way home from the bar when, on a desolate street, he saw someone he had chased for 500 years. She was in terrible shape. There was a lot of blood and she was very pale. That made him realize that she was human. Having lost Gia and all his other lovers for 1,000 years due to Klaus, and still in love with her, he didn’t want anything to happen to her. Unlike others, he’d never wish death upon her.
He was instantly knelt at her side.
He gently slid an arm under her, crook of arm supporting her head, and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal and save her. He just hoped it would work. He didn’t know how she was human.
“Stay with me, Katerina.”
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away, which instantly healed.
He silently looked down at her, as her wounds healed, but she remained in the same state, her breathing slow from massive blood loss.
I can’t lose you, Katerina. Please, he thought.
He rested a gentle hand on the side of her face, hoping for her to wake up. He didn’t want to lose her. He couldn’t bear it. Even though he had broken up with her, she was his world. More so than Gia had been. She was the only girl, apart from Rebekah of course, who completely understood him and accepted all of who he was. Both the good and bad parts. She didn’t judge him, even though he always had chosen family above her.
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. Please, forgive me. You were right. It’s our turn. I just need you to open your eyes. If you can hear me, open your eyes, Katerina. Please,” he said, almost begging. He knew she had lost a lot of blood, but he thought that she’d be okay, anyway. She just needed time to restore her strength. If she woke up, she would still be weak.
A few minutes later, she came to, which relieved him.
“Elijah,” she greeted weakly.
“Katerina,” he greeted back.
She gave a smile, knowing he had saved her life.
He smiled back.
“Thanks,” she said.
“You’re welcome. Let’s get you home,” he replied.
As he got to his feet with her in his arms, she wrapped weak arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder, before closing her yes.
Later, after she woke up in his bed feeling better, she told him everything he had missed and assured him that he was forgiven, knowing how he felt about not being there for her.

Hard To Love (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
I am insensitive, I have a tendency
To pay more attention to the things I need
Sometimes I drink too much, sometimes I test your trust
Sometimes I don’t know why you stay with me
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway in Pennsylvania, as Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?”
“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.” She put her hand down when he looked away. “You don’t believe me.”
He looked at her. “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. Goodbye, Katherine.” He walked away from her.
I’m hard to love, hard to love
No, I don’t make it easy
I couldn’t do it if I stood where you stood
I’m hard to love, hard to love
You say that you need me
I don’t deserve it but I love that you love me, good
Katherine walked up to him that night, purse slung over her shoulder.
“What do you want?” he asked.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying that 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 set 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.
*Chicago 1945*
I am a short fuse, I am a wrecking ball
Crashing into your heart like I do
You’re like a Sunday morning, full of grace and full of Jesus
I wish I could be more like you
I’m hard to love, hard to love
No, I don’t make it easy
I couldn’t do it if I stood where you stood
I’m hard to love, hard to love
You say that you need me
I don’t deserve it, but I love that you love me, good
Love me, good
After finding out that Katerina had been taken when they were supposed to meet up, Elijah went in search of her which led him to an abandoned warehouse. He didn’t care why she’d been taken, but did care that she had been. If anything happened to Katerina, whoever took her would pay with their lives.
He entered the warehouse after ripping out the vampires’ hearts outside.
He blurred in front of her where she sat in a chair tied to it with vervain ropes. He could tell that she was weak, which he understood due to the vervain ropes. It would also weaken a vampire if the vervain was digested or injected.
He snapped the ropes in two, ignoring the pain, and got to his feet with her gently in his arms.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder, weak, but also not needing to say anything. They were so close and understanding with each other that they didn’t need to say anything.
*Present Day*
Girl, you’ve given me a million chances
And I don’t wanna take you for granted
I’m just a man, I’m just a man
I’m hard to love, hard to love
Oh, no, I don’t make it easy
And I couldn’t do it if I stood where you stood
I’m hard to love, hard to love
And you say that you need me
I don’t deserve it, but I love that you love me, good
You love me, good
You love me, good
Elijah was walking home from the only bar in town, but stopped when he smelled the mixed scents of human, Katerina, and blood. Wondering why she’d be in the same town as Klaus or even him, he followed the scents to a wrecked and on fire car with a clearly human Katerina still inside.
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the door open. He then blurred a distance away with her and gently layed her down on the ground.
“Katerina.”
She coughed, able to breathe again.
He sighed in relief, glad she was okay.

“What do you want?” he asked.

All I Need (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
I’m dying to catch my breath
Oh, why don’t I ever learn?
I’ve lost all my trust, though I’ve surely tried to turn it around
It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him.
“What do you want?” he asked in an irritated tone.
“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.”
He was speechless, not knowing what to say to that, until she brought something out from 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 set it in his hand and then closed his hand, and let his hand go. “You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He was silent, as she walked away from him.
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don’t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don’t tear me down
You’ve opened the door now, don’t let it close
It was a beautiful day in a Pennsylvania alley, as she watched him walk away from her, after seeing that she had lied to him.
*Dead Man On Campus*
I’m here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I’m only one step away from turning it around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don’t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
It was a dismal night, as she stood on the clock tower that overlooked the Mystic Falls town square. She was dying of old age and didn’t want the pain of dying. She wanted to rather die instantly than to die slowly, and she was Katherine Pierce. Katherine Pierce always got what she wanted.
She closed her eyes, back facing the ledge, ready to jump off the clock tower.
Suddenly, she stopped, something telling her to stop and to not do it. Katherine always listened to that feeling and voice, which right now, sounded a lot like her long-dead mother. She never shown it or admitted it to anyone, but even after 500 years, whether she was a human or vampire, she missed her mother. She’d always been close to her. Maybe that’s why most of the time it sounded like her mother, and the rest of the time the voice sounded like Elijah. They were the only people in her life she was ever close to, so it made sense.
She opened her eyes and stepped away from the ledge. Maybe it was a sign. Maybe someone would find a way to save her life. She could only hope and wait.
*500 Years of Solitude*
Don’t tear me down
Don’t tear it down, what’s left of me
Make my heart a better place
I tried many times, but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don’t break me down
I want to believe that this is real
It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed after last night’s heart attack, dying of old age. This time it showed. She had gray hair and wrinkles now. Since she had been told to rest, she was resting, stuck in memories of the past.
When she felt someone sit on her bedside, she opened her eyes and gave a smile.
“Katerina,” Elijah greeted with a smile back.
“Elijah,” she greeted. She rested a hand on the side of his face. “You came.”
“Of course I came,” he replied.
She smiled. She didn’t care if this was real or not, because it made her happy that he’d come to her deathbed.
*True Lies*
Save me from my fear
Don’t tear me down
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe
It was a beautiful day, as she ran through the woods, needing to get as far as possible. There was only one option. She had to find a car to steal and drive until she was miles out of Virginia. That meant she had to go somewhere else for protection. That meant New Orleans to Elijah. Surely he wouldn’t turn away her plea for protection.
Soon enough, she had stolen an SUV and was on her way towards New Orleans, Mystic Falls far behind her.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
Don’t tear it down, what’s left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
It was a nebulous night, as Elijah walked through the woods, aiming to go home. He had heard what was going on with Katerina and was planning on packing, so he could see her, or save her. He wanted to save her, but he would have to bring her here, and to one of the witches. He didn’t know if she’d want to come, since Klaus was in the same town. Plus, it seemed like she’d given up on being saved. If she couldn’t be saved, he’d still be there for her. She had no reason to be surrounded by those who despised, hated, and wanted her dead the most. She had the choice to come to him for help, and leave Mystic Falls behind.
When he exited the woods, he smelled human blood and Katerina, so he looked and saw an SUV with a streetlight bent over it, and both doors and sides of the car crinkled and dented. There was also shattered glass from the windows and windshield. She had somehow managed to get into a car crash. Now, he knew what the baby blonde vampiress, Caroline, meant when she said that she was a magnet for danger. Apparently, as a human, she didn’t know how to survive very well without someone to help and protect her.
“Katerina!” he said, blurring to the driver’s side door and forcing the door open, so he could see the damage.
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face, after seeing that mostly she just had some minor injuries, but she had a few bad injuries. There was blood on either side of her head, a bleeding thigh, and a wounded side.
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called.
She didn’t move or wake up, but she could hear him. She was happy despite the crash, knowing that he was here to save her.
“I’m gonna get you out of here, Katerina. You’re going to be okay. Just stay with me,” he said, as he gently pulled her into his arms, getting her out of the wreckage. Then he blurred home, having no option but to have Freya heal her with magic. There was no working hospital. There hadn’t been since 1918, when their father had burned New Orleans to the ground.
When she finally woke up, she was in Elijah’s room, with him seated on her bedside.
He gave a smile and rested a gentle hand on the side of her face.
“Katerina.”
She smiled back and sat up in bed.
“Elijah,” she greeted back. “Thanks. You saved my life.”
“Anything for you, Katerina.”
In the end, they got back together, and Freya reversed her dying of old age.
I’m dying to catch my breath
Oh, why don’t I ever learn?
I’ve lost all my trust, though I’ve surely tried to turn it around
It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him.
“What do you want?” he asked in an irritated tone.
“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.”
He was speechless, not knowing what to say to that, until she brought something out from 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 set it in his hand and then closed his hand, and let his hand go. “You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He was silent, as she walked away from him.
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don’t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don’t tear me down
You’ve opened the door now, don’t let it close
It was a beautiful day in a Pennsylvania alley, as she watched him walk away from her, after seeing that she had lied to him.
*Dead Man On Campus*
I’m here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I’m only one step away from turning it around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don’t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
It was a dismal night, as she stood on the clock tower that overlooked the Mystic Falls town square. She was dying of old age and didn’t want the pain of dying. She wanted to rather die instantly than to die slowly, and she was Katherine Pierce. Katherine Pierce always got what she wanted.
She closed her eyes, back facing the ledge, ready to jump off the clock tower.
Suddenly, she stopped, something telling her to stop and to not do it. Katherine always listened to that feeling and voice, which right now, sounded a lot like her long-dead mother. She never shown it or admitted it to anyone, but even after 500 years, whether she was a human or vampire, she missed her mother. She’d always been close to her. Maybe that’s why most of the time it sounded like her mother, and the rest of the time the voice sounded like Elijah. They were the only people in her life she was ever close to, so it made sense.
She opened her eyes and stepped away from the ledge. Maybe it was a sign. Maybe someone would find a way to save her life. She could only hope and wait.
*500 Years of Solitude*
Don’t tear me down
Don’t tear it down, what’s left of me
Make my heart a better place
I tried many times, but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don’t break me down
I want to believe that this is real
It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed after last night’s heart attack, dying of old age. This time it showed. She had gray hair and wrinkles now. Since she had been told to rest, she was resting, stuck in memories of the past.
When she felt someone sit on her bedside, she opened her eyes and gave a smile.
“Katerina,” Elijah greeted with a smile back.
“Elijah,” she greeted. She rested a hand on the side of his face. “You came.”
“Of course I came,” he replied.
She smiled. She didn’t care if this was real or not, because it made her happy that he’d come to her deathbed.
*True Lies*
Save me from my fear
Don’t tear me down
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe
It was a beautiful day, as she ran through the woods, needing to get as far as possible. There was only one option. She had to find a car to steal and drive until she was miles out of Virginia. That meant she had to go somewhere else for protection. That meant New Orleans to Elijah. Surely he wouldn’t turn away her plea for protection.
Soon enough, she had stolen an SUV and was on her way towards New Orleans, Mystic Falls far behind her.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
Don’t tear it down, what’s left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
It was a nebulous night, as Elijah walked through the woods, aiming to go home. He had heard what was going on with Katerina and was planning on packing, so he could see her, or save her. He wanted to save her, but he would have to bring her here, and to one of the witches. He didn’t know if she’d want to come, since Klaus was in the same town. Plus, it seemed like she’d given up on being saved. If she couldn’t be saved, he’d still be there for her. She had no reason to be surrounded by those who despised, hated, and wanted her dead the most. She had the choice to come to him for help, and leave Mystic Falls behind.

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.
*Mikaelson Mansion*
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.

My Heart Still Beats (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
Nobody said it was gonna be easy
But when I forgive
There are no strings attached
I was not gonna bring up your flaws in an argument
Not gonna risk on a counter-attack
When you first revealed your betrayal
My first reaction was “How dare you rob me of my trust?”
But not even this would be able to shake our foundation
‘Cause it was created by us
I can still see you
Front row point of view
We spent our entire relationship fighting each other
Our goals were exactly the same
She and Elijah stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alley, arguing.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused and asked her.
“Of course not. 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.” When he turned his face away, she dropped her hand. “You don’t believe me.”

She stood there for a minute and watched him walk away, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He stopped and looked at her hand on his arm, then her, then her hand again.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine,” he said, saying her name that she now went by these days, instead of her human name.
She watched, as he left.
*Mystic Falls- Mikaelson Mansion*
I put you through hell by demanding apologies
Even though I was the one causing pain
With your little mishap
The ball was in my court to prove I could be the stronger one of us
By taking over the role you so elegantly played those years
When I needed a rock
I can still see you
Front row point of view
It hurts
But I’m not about to give you up
Though broken
My heart still beats
It will not stop, stop
Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. Elijah had just told her in little words, as usual, that he was leaving to follow Klaus. That’s what he always did. He always chose to follow Klaus over her.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded with him.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“Katerina.” He closed his eyes and kissed her on the forehead. Then he was gone.
After he was gone, she was left with both anger and a broken heart, yet again. This time, she thought it was partly Elena’s fault for him choosing to leave her, so she left the house and picked a fight with her, only to get the cure shoved down her throat.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*

It was a nebulous night, as a human Katherine sat in the driver’s seat of the car that she’d stolen back in Mystic Falls, injured after crashing the car into a streetlight pole. She’d left Mystic Falls after turning human and had gone to New Orleans. She’d wanted to get to Elijah and ask him for protection. She didn’t know if she and Elijah would ever get back together, but that didn’t really matter.
As she sat there, injured, she could feel blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass protruding from her lower stomach, and a shard of glass in her thigh. She knew that she’d lost a lot of blood, so she knew that the shard of glass protruding from her thigh had opened up an artery. Although she’d lost a lot of blood, she was able to open the door and stagger out of the car. She used the side of the car to help her along, before she landed on the ground on her side.
Elijah was on his way home, when he stopped in a desolate area of the Quarter. It was late, so there wasn’t anyone there. He could smell the mixed scents of Katerina, blood, and human. Last time he’d seen her, she’d been a vampire still, but smelling the scent of human, he realized that she was human. He knew only one thing that could make a vampire human, which made him assume that someone had shoved the cure down her throat. He’d never wish anything to happen to her, so he followed the scent trail, only to find the crashed car and Katerina not far from it, injured, clearly human, and glass shattered around her and the outside of the car.
He blurred to her side and gently pulled her into his arms.
“If you can hear me, stay with me, Katerina,” he pleaded. Then he got to his feet with her in his arms.
Once at the compound, he layed her gently down on a table. Freya was already in the room, so he didn’t have to call her. He had her heal her, once the shards of glass were out of her. Then he gently layed her down in his bed and waited for her to wake up.
When she woke up, she saw that she was in Elijah’s bed, healed, and he was seated on her bedside. She realized that he’d gotten to her in time to save her.
She gave a smile, glad he’d gotten there in time to save her life. Then, after a little conversation, he promised to protect her and, a few weeks later, they got back together. So, they got their happy ending, after all.

*1492- Love*
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
It was a beautiful day with a soft breeze blowing, as Katerina sat on a cement bench outside, Elijah seated beside her, as they discussed love.
“True love is not real unless it is returned. Do you agree?” she said, looking at him.
“I do not believe in love, Katerina,” he lied, needing to not fall for her. If he fell for her, he wouldn’t be able to help Klaus break the curse set upon him, which involved her death.
“That is too sad for me to accept, my Lord. If we cease to believe in love, then why would we want to live?” she replied, not believing him.

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did
It was a dismal night in the living room, as Klaus pinned him against a wall in anger.
“Katerina has fled. What did you tell her?” he asked his elder brother.
“I told her nothing.”
“Do not lie to me!” Klaus yelled.
After some more arguing, Elijah promised to return her to him and Klaus promised Elijah that he’d dagger him if he failed.
*1492- The Search*
And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go and tell them
Tell them all I know now
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Elijah searched high and low for her to do as Klaus wanted done, but he had fallen for her already. Because of that, he betrayed his own brother to save her life, only for her to take matters into her own hands and turn into a vampire. Shortly after, he was daggered and Klaus slaughtered her entire village, including her family.

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worst
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know
And when all is done
There is nothing to say
And if you’re done embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be

It was a beautiful day in Pennsylvania, as they stood in front of each other in an alley. After arguing for about ten minutes, he walked away, her unable to stop him.
That night, on her way out of town, she handed him the cure and gave him a speech on how she didn’t remember who she was when they first met, but wanted to find out, and how much she wanted him to trust her, just like she trusted him.
*1492- “Spare her”*
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
It was a nebulous night, as they stood in the living room.
“Please brother, I ask of you to spare her,” Elijah said, already having fallen for her.
“Are you so foolish as to care for her? We do not feel. We do not care. Love is weakness and we are not weak. She is human. Nothing more. Nothing less. Her life means nothing,” Klaus said, reminding him to not fall in love with her and ultimately saying no to his plea.

It was a nebulous night, as they stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson house in Mystic Falls. She’d told him back in Pennsylvania that she’d let him decide where they stood. Now that he’d thought about it and felt that he had to follow Klaus to New Orleans, he knew his decision.
After telling her that he was going to go help Klaus in New Orleans, she tried to get him to reconsider, telling him that Klaus was “stark-raving mad” and “irredeemable.” She even asked that he leave Klaus to his own “adventure” and for them to go on their own together. He didn’t heed her plea, though.
He rested a gentle hand on the side of her face and said, “Goodbye, Katerina,” and then lightly kissed her on the forehead before leaving, ultimately breaking her heart and breaking up with her, leaving her for his brother.

He stood in his room with a bottle of bourbon in hand, an empty shot glass on his end table, the light in the room off, matching his mood. He’d just heard that she’d died six months ago. After finding that out, he was completely shattered. Now he was standing in his room alone, angry and upset, drinking from a bottle of bourbon.
He grabbed the empty shot glass and through it at the far wall, making it shatter into pieces, just as he was shattered. He felt just like the shattered shot glass did and worst.

Hello (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
Hello
It’s me
I was wondering if after all these years
You’d like to meet to go over everything
They say that time’s supposed to heal
Yeah
But I ain’t done much healing
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway in Pennsylvania, as she and Elijah met up.
He walked over to her to stand in front of Katherine.
“Katerina,” he greeted with a smile. “I’ve missed you.”
She smiled. “As have I.”
He rested a gentle hand on the side of her face and then took it away, before kissing her. She then kissed back.
*England-1492*
Hello…
Can you hear me?
I’m in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There’s such a difference between us
And a million miles
It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate in England, as he played chase with her.
She laughed saying, “You’re meant to catch me.”
He responded with, “If I catch you, then the game will be over.”
*500 Years of Solitude*
Hello from the other side
I must’ve called a thousand times
To tell you
I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’ve tried
To tell you
I’m sorry for breaking your heart
But it doesn’t matter
It clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore
Hello
How are you?
It’s so typical of me to talk about myself
I’m sorry
I hope that you’re well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It’s no secret that the both of us are running out of time
After turning human, she’d called Elijah a lot that summer, but he’d never answered. Now that she’d had a heart attack and was surrounded by those who hated her the most, she decided to try again, but he still didn’t pick up, so she decided to finally leave a message.
“Elijah, it’s me. I need you. I’m dying of old age and may not make it to see tomorrow. I don’t know where you are that you’re not answering me, or even when you will get this. I know you will probably be out for vengeance for Elena shoving the cure down my throat, but don’t. It’s my fault for trying to kill her in rage after you broke up with me. Don’t blame yourself. There’s nothing anyone can do to save me. By the time you get this, I’ll be dead. Just do me a favor. If you run into Nadia Petrova, I want you to look out for her just as you did with me. She’s my daughter that only my parents and village knew about. Dying sucks, but the best thing is that I was reunited with her. I got to know my beautiful daughter before my time was up, and I love her. I love you too, Elijah.”
After all of that, she ended the call.

After Elijah saw that he’d gotten a voicemail from her, against the part of him that was trying to move on, he listened to it and was glad that he had. He was angry and upset at what had happened, though. As soon as he’d finished listening to it, he’d called her but it had gone to voicemail. That could only mean one thing. She was gone; dead for good. Now his last memory of her would be her pleading to him to stay, and the hurt in her eyes when he’d chosen New Orleans and Klaus. He should’ve stayed, but he’d walked away, instead. Now, he’d never see her again, much less get to apologize.

I Need You (Kalijah)
It was a dark night as Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest Original sibling, watched Hayley Marshall from the balcony from his bedroom silently, as the pregnant werewolf sat on a bench and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, his phone went off.
He took it out of his suit pocket and saw it was Katerina.
“Katerina,” he greeted.
“Elijah,” she greeted back, not sounding like his usual Katerina.
“What’s wrong?”
“I need you. I’m dying. The cure got shoved down my throat. Since I turned 500 years ago, it’s killing me. Time is catching up with me.”
“I’m coming,” he said, before hanging up. He then went to his sister’s room where she was seated on her bed reading a girly magazine.
“I have to go. I’ll be back shortly.”
She set the magazine down and looked at him.
“Go where?”
“Mystic Falls. Katerina’s dying. I won’t be long. I’ll be back with her. Take care of Hayley.”
Before she could say anything else, he was gone.
An hour later, he walked into the room that she was in, to see her lying on her back in bed, a girl at her bedside whom he had never seen before. Katerina looked how she had the first time she was human, but yet she didn’t. He knew it was because she was dying and human. But it didn’t matter how she looked. He loved her all the same.
“Nadia, this is Elijah. Elijah, this is Nadia. She’s my daughter. She found me after looking for me for less than 500 years,” she introduced them.
“Nice to meet you. I’m glad Katerina has someone close to her other than myself,” he told Nadia. He then looked at his love life and said, “If you’d like, I could take you home with me. We can figure something out. I have to get home as soon as I can.”
“Thank you, Elijah. I’d love that.”
She looked at her daughter.
“Nadia, if you want, I’d love for you to come with me. After all, I did promise you that we’d leave this town as soon as we could. This is your chance to go somewhere you’ve never been before.”
“I’ll accompany you then. I’ll see what New Orleans has to offer.”
Elijah strode over to her bedside and Nadia stepped out of his way.
He gently picked her up in his arms and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
A moment later, he vanished from the room with her, Nadia at his right side, heading for New Orleans. After all, it was much quicker to get there using vamp speed than a car.
Once they arrived, he walked inside, invited Nadia inside, and headed upstairs. Then, once in a guest bedroom, he gently layed her down in bed and sat on her bedside, looking at her.
“I never should have left you on your own, Katerina. I thought you’d be safe. I’m so sorry. Please, forgive me.”
She rested a gentle hand on the right side of his face.
“You didn’t know what would happen. Elijah, I will always forgive you, no matter what. I love you.”
“I love you too, Katerina.”
She took her hand away from his face.
“You should go. You probably have something more important to do than to watch me slowly die. Besides, Nadia will be here to take care of me.”
He got to his feet, and then lightly kissed her forehead.
“I’ll be back later.”
She watched, as he left.
A moment later, Nadia came into the room and sat on her mother’s bedside.
Later that day, they got Davina to do a spell to help Kat, which was successful, and Kat and Nadia stayed with the Originals in New Orleans.
Suddenly, his phone went off.
He took it out of his suit pocket and saw it was Katerina.
“Katerina,” he greeted.

Not Meant To Be (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
It’s never enough to say I’m sorry
It’s never enough to say I care
But I’m caught between what you wanted from me
And knowing that if I give that to you
I might just disappear
It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other in Pennsylvania in an alleyway.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he asked her.
“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 head away and she put her hand down.
“You don’t believe me,” she stated.
He looked at her. “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.
She stood there for a moment, thinking about what he’d just said, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand on his arm and then her a couple times, so she let go of him, getting the hint. Then he looked at her.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
That night, she found him and went to stand in front of him, where he was on a sidewalk.
“What do you want?”
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I—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 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 to happen.” She set the vial of the cure in his hand and put his empty hand on top of the hand that held the cure, with her hands around his. “I want you to trust me. I need you to trust me. Just like I’m trusting you.” She took her hands away. “You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He watched, as she walked away and then looked down at the cure in his hand.
Nobody wins when everyone’s losing
It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, I can’t change your mind
I know it’s like trying to turn around on a one way street
I can’t give you what you want
And it’s killing me
And I, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be
Later that night, Elijah stood in front of her at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He loved her, but he couldn’t trust someone that would lie to him like she had today. He hated what he was about to do. He’d promised to protect her all those centuries ago, but he was so tired of figuring out if she was telling the truth or not. He was about to do the one thing that he hated to do to her. He had to leave to go help Klaus in New Orleans. He couldn’t stay, and family always came first for him. He always had to sacrifice love for family, no matter what. He always stood by his family, because of their vow centuries ago. Always and forever.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded, when he’d told her that he was leaving to go help Klaus out.
“Katerina.” He rested a hand on the side of her face, and then took it away and kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.” Then he was gone.
*Human Once Again*
It’s never enough to say I love you
No it’s never enough to say I try
It’s hard to believe
That there’s no way out for you and me
And it seems to be the story of our lives
Nobody wins when everyone’s losing
There’s still time to turn this around
You could be building this up instead of tearing it down
But I keep thinking
Maybe it’s too late
After Elijah left, her heart hurt and filled with anger, thinking that Elena had said something to Elijah in Pennsylvania when Elena’s humanity had been off, she ambushed her in the hallway of Mystic High. She then tried to kill Elena, but Elena shoved the cure down her throat, turning her human.
After the summer was over with, Katherine decided to go to her ex. He may have left her for Klaus yet again, but they didn’t need to trust each other for him to protect her from danger. Plus, having an Original on your side was usually a bonus. She needed him now more than ever, and figured that he’d protect her, no matter what. Besides, whether he left her or not, even if he didn’t love her, she still loved him. If their positions were reversed, she knew she’d do the same for him. So, she was going to go to Elijah for protection.
It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, baby, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be
After driving a car into New Orleans she’d hot-wired, she’d gotten into a wreck with a streetlight pole. So, now she sat in the driver’s side of the car, injured, everything going black. She was in pain, but it was starting to fade, as everything began to go black for her.
Elijah was walking, having left the bar after a few drinks, heading home, when, in a desolate area of New Orleans, he smelled the familiar mixed scents. He stopped in his tracks, smelling the scents of Katerina, blood, and human. Then, making up his mind and curious of why she was in town, he followed the scent trail.
Half an hour later, he found the source of what he was smelling. She was in a wrecked car, obviously injured, and it was apparent to him that she was human now, which he knew meant that someone had shoved the cure down her throat. He knew how much she’d loved being a vampire. He also knew her so well that he knew that being human was like a curse on her.
He blurred to the driver’s side and forced the jammed door open.
“Katerina.”
He scanned for what her injuries were, hoping she wasn’t too injured. He saw that there was a shard of glass stabbed into her thigh, which had opened up the artery in her leg. Her abdomen and lower stomach were also bleeding from a shard of glass, and there was blood on either side of her head. He also saw that she’d lost a lot of blood, since she was so pale with slow breathing. He pulled the shard of glass out of her lower stomach and tossed it to the floorboard, but didn’t bother with the other two. He figured the only reason she was still alive, was because the shards of glass were keeping her from quickly bleeding out. Careful of her injuries, he gently pulled her into his arms and then blurred home. Rebekah had been a nurse back in the day, so he figured that she could save her. He didn’t want to try vampire blood. No one had taken the cure before, so they didn’t know if there was any side effects to it. Also, there wasn’t a working hospital, due to Mikael in 1918, so he couldn’t take her to one. Rebekah was his only choice.
Once at the compound, he blurred her to a guest bedroom and onto a bed, gently laying her down, before calling for Rebekah. Then, after some convincing, she began to do what she could for Katherine, despite hating her for being able to run from Nik for 500 years, escaping him. She didn’t like that she didn’t get to get away from Nik, but Katherine had been able to. That didn’t mean she wanted Elijah to lose the love of his life, though. Besides, after the life she’d led as a vampire, she knew Katherine didn’t deserve to die from a mere car crash. So, she decided to save her life the best of her ability.
Half an hour or so later, Rebekah succeeded in saving her life and tending to her wounds, so Elijah moved her to his room and gently layed her down on his bed. Then he sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to, a hand on hers. After almost losing her tonight, he realized that he’d been wrong to leave her without a look back. If anything happened to her and he wasn’t there to save or try to save her, he’d never forgive himself. She was his world, despite the fact that he’d left her to her own. He’d thought that she’d be okay without him, but he knew now that he’d been wrong.
In the end, after she woke up, they rekindled their relationship, getting back together, once again, and he promised that he’d protect her, since she clearly needed protection and someone to be around to make sure she didn’t hurt herself on accident again.
It’s never enough to say I’m sorry
It’s never enough to say I care
But I’m caught between what you wanted from me
And knowing that if I give that to you
I might just disappear
It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other in Pennsylvania in an alleyway.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he asked her.
“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 head away and she put her hand down.
“You don’t believe me,” she stated.
He looked at her. “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.
She stood there for a moment, thinking about what he’d just said, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand on his arm and then her a couple times, so she let go of him, getting the hint. Then he looked at her.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
That night, she found him and went to stand in front of him, where he was on a sidewalk.
“What do you want?”
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I—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 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 to happen.” She set the vial of the cure in his hand and put his empty hand on top of the hand that held the cure, with her hands around his. “I want you to trust me. I need you to trust me. Just like I’m trusting you.” She took her hands away. “You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He watched, as she walked away and then looked down at the cure in his hand.
Nobody wins when everyone’s losing
It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, I can’t change your mind
I know it’s like trying to turn around on a one way street
I can’t give you what you want
And it’s killing me
And I, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be
Later that night, Elijah stood in front of her at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He loved her, but he couldn’t trust someone that would lie to him like she had today. He hated what he was about to do. He’d promised to protect her all those centuries ago, but he was so tired of figuring out if she was telling the truth or not. He was about to do the one thing that he hated to do to her. He had to leave to go help Klaus in New Orleans. He couldn’t stay, and family always came first for him. He always had to sacrifice love for family, no matter what. He always stood by his family, because of their vow centuries ago. Always and forever.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded, when he’d told her that he was leaving to go help Klaus out.
“Katerina.” He rested a hand on the side of her face, and then took it away and kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.” Then he was gone.
*Human Once Again*
It’s never enough to say I love you
No it’s never enough to say I try
It’s hard to believe
That there’s no way out for you and me
And it seems to be the story of our lives
Nobody wins when everyone’s losing
There’s still time to turn this around
You could be building this up instead of tearing it down
But I keep thinking
Maybe it’s too late
After Elijah left, her heart hurt and filled with anger, thinking that Elena had said something to Elijah in Pennsylvania when Elena’s humanity had been off, she ambushed her in the hallway of Mystic High. She then tried to kill Elena, but Elena shoved the cure down her throat, turning her human.
After the summer was over with, Katherine decided to go to her ex. He may have left her for Klaus yet again, but they didn’t need to trust each other for him to protect her from danger. Plus, having an Original on your side was usually a bonus. She needed him now more than ever, and figured that he’d protect her, no matter what. Besides, whether he left her or not, even if he didn’t love her, she still loved him. If their positions were reversed, she knew she’d do the same for him. So, she was going to go to Elijah for protection.
It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, baby, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be
After driving a car into New Orleans she’d hot-wired, she’d gotten into a wreck with a streetlight pole. So, now she sat in the driver’s side of the car, injured, everything going black. She was in pain, but it was starting to fade, as everything began to go black for her.
Elijah was walking, having left the bar after a few drinks, heading home, when, in a desolate area of New Orleans, he smelled the familiar mixed scents. He stopped in his tracks, smelling the scents of Katerina, blood, and human. Then, making up his mind and curious of why she was in town, he followed the scent trail.
Half an hour later, he found the source of what he was smelling. She was in a wrecked car, obviously injured, and it was apparent to him that she was human now, which he knew meant that someone had shoved the cure down her throat. He knew how much she’d loved being a vampire. He also knew her so well that he knew that being human was like a curse on her.
He blurred to the driver’s side and forced the jammed door open.
“Katerina.”
He scanned for what her injuries were, hoping she wasn’t too injured. He saw that there was a shard of glass stabbed into her thigh, which had opened up the artery in her leg. Her abdomen and lower stomach were also bleeding from a shard of glass, and there was blood on either side of her head. He also saw that she’d lost a lot of blood, since she was so pale with slow breathing. He pulled the shard of glass out of her lower stomach and tossed it to the floorboard, but didn’t bother with the other two. He figured the only reason she was still alive, was because the shards of glass were keeping her from quickly bleeding out. Careful of her injuries, he gently pulled her into his arms and then blurred home. Rebekah had been a nurse back in the day, so he figured that she could save her. He didn’t want to try vampire blood. No one had taken the cure before, so they didn’t know if there was any side effects to it. Also, there wasn’t a working hospital, due to Mikael in 1918, so he couldn’t take her to one. Rebekah was his only choice.
Once at the compound, he blurred her to a guest bedroom and onto a bed, gently laying her down, before calling for Rebekah. Then, after some convincing, she began to do what she could for Katherine, despite hating her for being able to run from Nik for 500 years, escaping him. She didn’t like that she didn’t get to get away from Nik, but Katherine had been able to. That didn’t mean she wanted Elijah to lose the love of his life, though. Besides, after the life she’d led as a vampire, she knew Katherine didn’t deserve to die from a mere car crash. So, she decided to save her life the best of her ability.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Break Even (Kalijah)
*Pennsylvania*
I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayin’ to a God that I don’t believe in
‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway, as they half talked and half argued.
“You killed Jeremy Gilbert,” he stated, before getting to his feet where he’d been crouching and thinking. He’d just found out that she’d lied to him.
She stood in front of him.
“Jeremy was collateral damage. I was doing what I had to do to survive,” she defended.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?”
“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 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,” he replied. “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.
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.
She took her hand away.
He looked at her saying, “Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
*Mikaelson Mansion*
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even
Her best days will be some of my worst
She stood in front of him at the Mikaelson mansion. He’d just told her that he was leaving.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
He kissed her on the forehead.
“Goodbye, Katerina.”
*Secrecy-1752*
She finally met a man that’s gonna put her first
While I’m wide awake
She’s no trouble sleeping
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…even…no
Katherine had just finished feeding and sending a human on her way after compelling her to forget that she’d been fed on by a vampire, when she sensed someone.
She turned around to see Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest of the siblings and the love of her life.
“Elijah,” she greeted, but was wary. They were in love, but his brother was her greatest enemy who wanted her dead.
“Katerina,” he greeted back, taking a step towards her to come out of the shadows.
“What are you doing here?”
“I had to see you. I can’t stay for long though.”
A moment later, they were kissing.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK
I’m falling to pieces, yeah, I’m falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
‘Cause she’s moved on while I’m still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…no
It was a nebulous night in New Orleans, as human Katherine sat in the wrecked car, injured. There was blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass was protruding from her lower stomach, her shoulder was dislocated, and another shard of glass was in the side of her neck. She could feel the pain from it and all her other injuries, but she was never one to show her pain unless it was Elijah there. She didn’t want to die, but knew she would. She knew she’d lost a lot of blood. Plus, her vision was going black quicker than she cared for. She couldn’t stay awake like she wanted; needed to. As everything went black for her though, and it became hard for her to breathe, she could vaguely hear a familiar voice.
Elijah was walking down a desolate street, heading home, when he saw someone inside a wrecked car. He stopped, ready to go over to help whoever it was, when he smelled the familiar scent of Katerina mixed with the smell of blood and human which came as a shock to him. He’d never known her to even remotely want to be human again, nor be in the same town as Klaus.
“Katerina?” he questioned, before blurring over to her side of the car.
He used vamp strength to force the jammed door open which worked, and that’s when he saw her condition. He pulled the small shard of glass out of the side of her neck and tossed it to the floorboard, before resting gentle hands on either side of her head.
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her. He knew she was on the verge of critical condition, but if he could keep her from going to sleep long enough for him to get her to the hospital, he was sure that she’d be okay. “If you can hear me, open your eyes, Katerina. Don’t leave me. Please.” He gave her a gentle kiss, hoping it would work. He loved her, no matter what. He couldn’t live without her.
After a few minutes of nothing, he slid an arm under her.
A moment later, she barely opened her eyes to see him.
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. I should’ve made sure you were okay.” He slid his other arm under her legs. “Stay with me. You’re gonna be okay. Just stay with me.” He knew it was hard for her to stay awake and that she was in pain, but he had to keep her breathing and this was the only way he could do so.
Once he had her gently in his arms, he blurred towards the hospital.
Elijah stood back so the doctors could take care of her and watched. He hated seeing her hurt, which was kind of ironic since he’d hurt her by leaving. Now he might not get the chance to apologize, much less have a second chance with her. They were taking her down the hall to try and save her life, but she was slipping through his fingers. He’d heard them say that she had some internal and external injuries along with a concussion and a collapsing lung. He didn’t need to be a doctor to know that she was dying. At the end of the day, it was up to her to decide whether to fight for her life or give up.
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK
I’m falling to pieces, yeah
I’m falling to pieces, yeah
I’m falling to pieces (one still in love while the other one’s leaving)
I’m falling to pieces (‘cause when a heart breaks it don’t break even)
Four hours later, he was seated in a chair by her bedside, his hand in hers. The surgery had went well, apart from losing her once during the surgery, but now no one knew if or when she would awake. He knew he should just let her go to take away whatever pain she might be falling in her coma, but he couldn’t. Besides, it wouldn’t be fair to just pull the plug before she had a chance to fight for her life. She was Katherine; his Katerina. She would go down fighting with all she had.
He looked at her, as he held her hand.
“Oh, Katerina,” he said, and then gave a sigh. “What has happened to you?”
Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I’m try’na make sense of what little remains ooh
‘Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
He knew this was his fault that this had happened. He hadn’t looked out for her after breaking up with her. He had even gone so far as to ignore every single call she ever made to him. She could be dead by now for all he knew, and he wouldn’t know it unless he got a call.
He rested a gentle hand on her forehead and kissed her hand.
“Forgive me, Katerina. This is my fault.”
I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayin’ to a God I don’t believe in
‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even
While she was fighting for her life and slowly recovering, he stayed by her side, only leaving when he needed some blood, hoping that she would live. He couldn’t lose her. This couldn’t happen. If she ceased to exist, he couldn’t live anymore. They were the best parts of each other.
*Torture- 1692*
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that’s gonna put her first
While I’m wide awake she’s not trouble sleeping
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…even…no
After getting vervained, she groggily and very weakly woke up to some guys she didn’t know, who obviously had been waiting for her to wake up, one of whom had a rod in hand. The next thing she noticed was that her wrists were chained together with a long piece of chain that was connected to the ceiling of the basement.
“What do you want?” she questioned weakly.
“We need to know where the Original hybrid is,” one replied.
“I’m not telling you anything. It’s best if I don’t. You’ll get yourselves killed,” she replied. Her other reason was to keep Elijah from danger.
She didn’t know how long it went on for, them torturing her for information she wouldn’t tell them, her growing weaker from it. Their torture consisted of vervain, sunlight, stabbing her with a rod, and at one point was bitten.
When she was weak, sweaty, and her vision was gray-blackish, she couldn’t quite hear what he’d said, but she could now see him killing them. Then, after some pain came from being stabbed with something for the last time, everything went black.
After his killing spree of a few wolves and vampires, he blurred over to stand in front of her. She was already desiccating with a stake in her and he could see a wolf bite on the side of her neck.
He pulled the stake out, tossing it to the floor, and gently lifted her head. He then used the vial of Klaus’ blood to cure her, saving her life, and her color began to return to normal. When that was done, he untied her from the chains and gently layed her down on the floor.
When she began to awaken, it relieved him, knowing that she would be just fine now.
He gave a smile.
*Playing Chase- 1492*
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK
It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate in England, as she and Elijah played chase.
“You’re meant to catch me.”
“Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”
*Present Day*
(Oh glad you’re okay now)
I’m falling to pieces
(Oh I’m glad you’re okay)
I’m falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other one’s leaving)
I’m falling to pieces
(‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even)
Oh it don’t break even no
Oh it don’t break even no
Oh it don’t break even no
After she was awake and fully recovered, she was released and he temporarily took her home with him, but a week later, they moved together to a small town where they could both start over without constant supernatural issues or drama. In the end, they got back together.
I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayin’ to a God that I don’t believe in
‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway, as they half talked and half argued.
“You killed Jeremy Gilbert,” he stated, before getting to his feet where he’d been crouching and thinking. He’d just found out that she’d lied to him.
She stood in front of him.
“Jeremy was collateral damage. I was doing what I had to do to survive,” she defended.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?”
“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 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,” he replied. “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.
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.
She took her hand away.
He looked at her saying, “Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
*Mikaelson Mansion*
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even
Her best days will be some of my worst
She stood in front of him at the Mikaelson mansion. He’d just told her that he was leaving.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
He kissed her on the forehead.
“Goodbye, Katerina.”
*Secrecy-1752*
She finally met a man that’s gonna put her first
While I’m wide awake
She’s no trouble sleeping
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…even…no
Katherine had just finished feeding and sending a human on her way after compelling her to forget that she’d been fed on by a vampire, when she sensed someone.
She turned around to see Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest of the siblings and the love of her life.
“Elijah,” she greeted, but was wary. They were in love, but his brother was her greatest enemy who wanted her dead.
“Katerina,” he greeted back, taking a step towards her to come out of the shadows.
“What are you doing here?”
“I had to see you. I can’t stay for long though.”
A moment later, they were kissing.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re OK
I’m falling to pieces, yeah, I’m falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
‘Cause she’s moved on while I’m still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don’t break even…no
It was a nebulous night in New Orleans, as human Katherine sat in the wrecked car, injured. There was blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass was protruding from her lower stomach, her shoulder was dislocated, and another shard of glass was in the side of her neck. She could feel the pain from it and all her other injuries, but she was never one to show her pain unless it was Elijah there. She didn’t want to die, but knew she would. She knew she’d lost a lot of blood. Plus, her vision was going black quicker than she cared for. She couldn’t stay awake like she wanted; needed to. As everything went black for her though, and it became hard for her to breathe, she could vaguely hear a familiar voice.
Elijah was walking down a desolate street, heading home, when he saw someone inside a wrecked car. He stopped, ready to go over to help whoever it was, when he smelled the familiar scent of Katerina mixed with the smell of blood and human which came as a shock to him.

I Won't Give Up (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
When I look into your eyes
It’s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there’s so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you’ve come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
Well, I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
And when you’re needing your space
To do some navigating
I’ll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
‘Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We’ve got a lot to learn
God knows we’re worth it
No, I won’t give up
I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
It was a beautiful day in Pennsylvania, as Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?”
“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.
She dropped her hand.
“You don’t believe me.”
He looked at her.
“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.
She caught up with him and put a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He stopped and looked at her hand, then her, then her hand, and finally her again.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She watched, as he walked away.
*Night*
It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him.
“What do you want?” he asked in an irritated tone.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying to survive that I—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, before looking down at the cure in his hand.
*American Gothic- Mikaelson Mansion*
I’m here to stay and make the different that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you’re still my friend, we didn’t burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I’ve got, and what I’m not, and who I am
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up, I’m still looking up
It was a nebulous night, as Elijah stood in front of her. He’d just told her that he was leaving town to help Klaus in New Orleans.
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded with him.
“Katerina.”
He kissed her on the forehead.
“Goodbye, Katerina.”
She could only watch, as he left. She didn’t show it, but it hurt that he’d just left her for Klaus, yet again. This time, she knew that Elijah had given up on her redemption. She knew he’d lost his trust in her. She could only hope that he’d come back for her someday.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
Well I won’t give up on us (No I’m not giving up)

God knows we’re worth it (and we’re worth it)
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
It was a dark night, as Elijah returned to town, having heard what had happened between Katerina and Elena. He knew he had to come back, knowing that she most likely felt alone and was afraid. She had many enemies and she’d loved being a vampire. Being a vampire had been everything. She needed help and protection and he’d be glad to give it to her. He may have left, but he still loved her with his whole heart. If anything happened to her, those responsible would regret harming her in any way, shape, or form. He’d die for her if it ever came down to it.
He stopped the car, seeing a wrecked car with her still in it, and blurred to her side of the car. He opened the door. There was some blood on the left side of her head and scratches in other places, but it looked like she’d be okay. She’d just blacked out was all.
He gently picked her up in his arms and set her in the passenger seat of his car. Then he began driving back to New Orleans.

Bad Day (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
It was a beautiful day, as Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alleyway.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused.
“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.”
He looked at her.
“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.
After a moment, she caught up with him and put a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand on his arm and then at her a couple times, which gave her the hint to let go, so she let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
‘Cause you had a bad day
You’re takin’ one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
That night, they stood in front of each other on a sidewalk, when she found him.
“Wait,” she said.
“What do you want?”
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I—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 answered him.
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?” he questioned her.
“Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me too.” She brought the cure out of her purse.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“I do. 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 to happen.” She set 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.”
She turned and walked away.
He watched, as she walked away, and then looked down at the cure in his hand.
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Will you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
You had a bad day!
Later that night, they met at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls and he informed her that he was leaving town.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded.
“Katerina.” He kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
A moment later, he was gone.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the passenger seat of the car which she’d accidentally crashed into a pole, injured badly. She’d caused the wreck when she’d tried to get as far away as she could from Silas. So now she was quite injured, trying to stay awake, which wasn’t working out for her very well. Everything was beginning to go black for her.
Ohh…holiday..
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that strong
And I’m not wrong
Yeahh
So where is the passion when you need it the most?
Ohh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
‘Cause you had a bad day!
Elijah had just returned to town to make sure that Katerina was okay, needing a break from the New Orleans drama and Klaus. So here he was. He was out searching for her and, after an hour of aimlessly walking around town trying to find her, he finally found her in a desolate area by the woods. She was in a wrecked car.
“Katerina!”
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the jammed door open. He then looked her over. There was blood on either side of her head and a shard of glass protruding from her lower stomach and another shard of glass in her thigh, which had opened up an artery. She was heavily bleeding and very pale. She was also human, which was a surprise, considering the last time he’d seen her, she’d been a vampire. He knew she loved being a vampire, which meant that someone must have shoved the cure down her throat. It was the only explanation he could come up with.
He gently pulled her into his arms and out of the wreckage and blurred to the hospital.
“Stay with me, Katerina,” he pleaded, though he didn’t know if she could hear him or not.
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room after watching them rush her down the hall to get her into surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay. It couldn’t end this way. Just because he’d left, didn’t mean he didn’t love her and care for her. He would always love and care for her.
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
When she was in the recovery room a few hours after, he went and sat on her bedside, waiting for her to wake up, though she’d just gotten out of surgery.
He rested a hand on the side of her face and another on her hand.
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. I should’ve made sure you were okay,” he apologized, hoping she’d hear him.
Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
It was a beautiful day, as Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alleyway.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused.
“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.”
He looked at her.
“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.
After a moment, she caught up with him and put a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand on his arm and then at her a couple times, which gave her the hint to let go, so she let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
‘Cause you had a bad day
You’re takin’ one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
That night, they stood in front of each other on a sidewalk, when she found him.
“Wait,” she said.
“What do you want?”
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I—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 answered him.
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?” he questioned her.
“Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me too.” She brought the cure out of her purse.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“I do. 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 to happen.” She set 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.”
She turned and walked away.
He watched, as she walked away, and then looked down at the cure in his hand.
