21 Guns (Kalijah)


*As I Lay Dying*



Do you know what’s worth fighting for

When it’s not worth dying for

Does it take your breath away

And you feel yourself suffocating

Does the pain weigh out the price

And you look for a place to hide



        It was a dismal night, as Katherine, having been bitten by a werewolf the night before, walked around town during the festival, weak and sweaty and hallucinating. She wasn’t in her right mind, as she stumbled through the crowd of partiers. She was dying from the bite, but knew that Klaus wouldn’t cure her unless he had a good reason to. That reason would most likely be Elijah.



*England 1492- Flashback/Hallucination*



Did someone break your heart inside

You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

You and I

When you’re at the end of the road

And you’ve lost all sense of control

And your thoughts have taken their toll

And your mind breaks the spirit of your soul



        It was a beautiful day, as Katerina ran through the woods with the moonstone, running from Elijah and some humans whom wanted her back to help Klaus break the curse. Klaus needed her to die in a ritual to break it though, and she’d rather not die.

        She tripped over a twig and fell to the ground, but was okay.

        “Katerina, it’s pointless to run! Klaus will find you wherever you are!” he said, loud enough for her human ears to hear.



*1492- Mikaelson Estate- Flashback/Hallucination*



Your Faith is on broken glass

And the hangover doesn’t last

Nothing is ever built to last

You’re in ruins

You’re in ruins

You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

You and I



        It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate, as Elijah and Katerina played chase.

        She stopped running and gave a laugh as she said, “You’re meant to catch me.”

        He smiled and said, “Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”



*Present*



Did you?

Did you try to live on your own

When you

When you blacked out the house and home

Did you?

Did you stand too close to the fire

Like a liar looking for forgiveness

Promise storm

When it’s time to live and let die

And you can’t get another try

Something inside this heart has died



        She lay on the ground, too weak to go anywhere now. She hoped that someone that didn’t want her to die would find and help her. She didn’t want to die, but she didn’t have any strength left to ask for help.

        She closed her eyes, tired and weak and burning up. She knew she’d been a bad person for centuries. She just hoped that someday she may be forgiven for that, whether she lived or not. She didn’t think that she would live though. She knew she was very close to joining the Other Side with all her deceased friends. She wanted so much for this pain to go away, though she would never admit to anyone but herself and Elijah how much pain she was in, or that she was in any pain at all.

        Meanwhile, Elijah had found out that she had been bitten by a werewolf, so he was out looking for her.

        After an hour or two, he finally found her on her back on the ground, a ways away from the festival. He knew the way she looked, she didn’t have much time left.

        He blurred to her side.

        “Katerina.”

        He gently got to his feet with her in his arms and blurred towards home. He just hoped that she’d make it.

        Once home, he gently layed her down in his bed, before going downstairs to go and try to convince Klaus to cure her.

        As she lay there, she could feel the darkness closing in, but she didn’t fight it. She was too weak and in too much silent pain to fight against it. Besides, she figured that it was her time. Plus, to her, death would be kind. At least she wouldn’t be in anymore pain if she died.





        When she woke up an hour later, she saw that she was in Elijah’s bed and she was no longer dying, which meant that Elijah had found her and Klaus had actually cured her. She knew that without Elijah, he never would have cured her. He would have just let her die.
