Give Me A Reason (Kalijah)

*1492, England*



Right from the start

You were a thief

You stole my heart

And I your willing victim



        “Are you so foolish as to care for her?” Klaus asked Elijah. “Love is a vampire’s greatest weakness, and we are not weak.”

        Elijah knew he was right, but his heart already belonged to Katerina. He couldn’t help it.



*1492, England-Mikaelson Estate*



I let you see the parts of me

That weren’t all that pretty

And with every touch you fixed them



        It was a beautiful day, as Elijah and Katerina sat on a bench, discussing love.

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

        “I’m sorry, but that’s too sad for me to believe, my Lord. Life is too cruel. If we cease to believe in love, why would we want to live?”



*Pennsylvania*



Now you’ve been talking in your sleep

Oh, oh

Things you never say to me

Oh, oh

Tell me that you’ve had enough

Of our love

Our love



        Elijah began to walk away after telling her goodbye, this time using her present-day name, Katherine.

        “Wait,” she told him. “You promised you’d talk to Klaus. I can’t make this deal without you.”

        He looked at her, and then continued to walk away.



*Pennsylvania-night*



Just give me a reason

Just a little bit’s enough

Just a second, we’re not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again



        “I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me, too. I need you to trust me. I want you to trust me…just like I’m trusting you,” she told him.



*Mikaelson Mansion*



It’s in the stars

It’s been written in the scars on our hearts

We’re not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again



        “It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she begged.

        “Goodbye, Katerina,” was all he said, before disappearing.



*New Orleans-6 Months Later*



        Elijah stood there at the door, seeing a very human and disheveled Katerina on the Mikaelson doorstep.

        “Come in.”

        She walked in and he closed the door. No matter what, he still loved her, and would do anything for her.



I’ll fix it for us

We’re collecting dust

But our love’s enough

You’re holding it in

You’re pouring a drink

No nothing is as bad as it seems

We’ll come clean

Oh

We can learn to love again

Oh

We can learn to love again

Oh, oh

That we’re not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again…
