Say It Now (Kalijah)


*American Gothic*



Can…

We work this out

I don’t wanna close the door, before the sun goes down

(Before the sun goes down)

We can’t…

Let this go too far

I’ll do anything to meet you anywhere you are

(Anywhere you are)

‘Cause it doesn’t matter anymore

Who was right or wrong

If we could only find the words we lost before

What we have is gone…

Say it now

Find a way to say it now



        It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alleyway.

        “Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused her.

        “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. I love you.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “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.

        She watched for a moment, before catching up with him and put a hand on his arm.

        He looked at her hand on his arm, then her, then her arm, and then her again.

        She let go, getting the hint.

        “Goodbye, Katherine.”

        She watched, as he walked away.



Don’t be afraid to say it now

Everything we’re keeping inside

Don’t wait just let your heart speak

Don’t waste another heart-beat

‘Cause we’ll never know ‘til we let it out (let it out)

Say it-Say it now

(Say it, say it)

My heart…

Is wearing thin…

I don’t wanna fight a war that no one’s gonna win



        It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him in Pennsylvania.

        “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—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.”

        “How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?”

        “Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me too.”



(No one’s gonna win)

All this time we’ve grown apart

Looking for an end

If I’m the one that’s holding on and holding back, here’s how we begin

We gotta

Say it now

Find a way to say it now

Don’t be afraid to say it now



        She and Elijah stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He’d just told her that he was leaving town.

        He rested a hand on the side of her face and she pleaded for him to stay, saying, “It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”

        “Katerina.” For a moment, he looked at her. Then he kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.” Then he was gone.

Everything we’re keeping inside

Don’t wait just let your heart speak

Don’t waste another heart-beat

‘Cause we’ll never know ‘til we let it out (let it out)

Say it-Say it now

(Say it, Say it)

No more getting lost between the lines

Can…

We work this out

I don’t wanna close the door, before the sun goes down

(Before the sun goes down)



        It was a beautiful day, as they played chase with each other.

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

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

        They went to sit on the bench next to each other and she spoke of love.

        “True love is not real unless it is returned. Do you agree?” she said.

        “I do not believe in love, Katerina.”

        “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.

        It was a dismal night, as Katerina Petrova stood by a table of food. She was soon introduced to Klaus and Elijah and gave a bow to both of them.

        “It’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said.

        “My pleasure,” Elijah replied.

        Klaus took her hand and kissed it. When she called him Niklaus, he said, “Please. That’s what my mother calls me. Call me Klaus.”

        She gave a smile at them both, but was more intrigued with Elijah. She felt like she could trust him, even though they had only just met.



‘Cause we’ll never know ‘til we let it out

        It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate, as Elijah and Katerina played chase. She stopped running and gave a laugh, saying, “You’re meant to catch me.”

        He stopped as well and replied, saying, “Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”

        They gave a smile at each other, before going to sit on a cement bench.
