Gone Girl (1st revised version)/Le Grand Guignol
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce drove to New Orleans, her daughter, Nadia Petrova, in the passenger’s seat, pale, weak, and out cold. And as she drove, she called someone on her phone.
Elijah Mikaelson was at home in Klaus’ room, when his phone went off. And when he looked at the caller ID, he saw that it was Katerina.
“Katerina,” he greeted her. “This isn’t a good time.”
“I need your help. My daughter is dying. Tyler bit my daughter, Nadia Petrova.”
“I was unaware that you had a daughter.”
“I gave birth to her before I met any of you. You have to help me convince Klaus to cure my daughter.”
“I promise you that she will be cured. I won’t let her die.”
“Thank you, Elijah.”
They hung up.
When they arrived, it was a beautiful day in New Orleans.
Kat went around the car and opened the door, as Hayley came out to help her.
“Do you need any help?” Hayley asked her.
“Yes. Please. Help me get her inside.”
Once she was in bed in a room, Nadia started to come to. And when she did, she saw her mother seated on her bedside, a pregnant lady standing not far from them.
“Where are we?” she half-whispered.
“New Orleans. Elijah promised that he’d get the cure for you.”
“Why would he even bother?”
“Because we go way back, and even after a few centuries, we have something. Elijah would do anything for me.”
“We should stay then if he means so much to you. You haven’t been happy for centuries. You deserve it.”
“I’m happy with you, too. We’ve finally found each other.”
Elijah walked in and gave the cure to her.
“Thank you, Elijah.”
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now, I must tend to a family matter.”
He kissed her left cheek, before vanishing out of sight.
Kat smiled, before giving her daughter the cure, which Nadia took.
“I should go. I’ll be in the Bayou if anyone needs me,” Hayley informed Katherine, before leaving the room.
Kat watched her go, before looking at her daughter whom had drunk the entire cure and had sat up in bed.
“Welcome to New Orleans, Nadia,” she said to her with a smile.
Elijah Mikaelson was at home in Klaus’ room, when his phone went off. And when he looked at the caller ID, he saw that it was Katerina.

Under (Kalijah)
Don’t bury me
Don’t lay me down
Don’t say it’s over
‘Cause that’s what sent me under
Under
Under
I died
Every time you walk away
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia at the Mikaelson Mansion as Katherine Pierce watched Elijah Mikaelson, her love of 500 years, walk away after choosing his family over her, yet again. She didn’t show it, but it hurt her deeply that once again, he hadn’t chosen her. Her unbeating, vampiress heart was broken in two. After everything she had done, she realized that he had lost his faith and hope in her.
Don’t leave me alone with me
See
I’m afraid
Of the darkness
And my demons
And the voices
Saying nothing’s going to be okay
I feel it in my heart
Soul
Mind that I’m losing
Six months later, a very human and dying Katherine lay asleep in a guest bedroom at the Salvatore boarding house, stuck in her memories. The first was of finding her family slaughtered and crying over her ma’ma’s body, before fleeing to escape Klaus.
You
Me
You’re abusing everything I have to live
Don’t bury me
Don’t lay me down
Don’t say it’s over
‘Cause that’s what sent me under
Underneath the ground
Don’t say those words
I wanna live with your worse combunder
Only you can send me under
Under
When she had died, Elijah got a call from Caroline Forbes and Elijah came for her body and, upon returning to New Orleans, he buried her in the cemetery and consecrated her bones, having learned that she had been descended from Travelers.

If I Die Young (Kalijah)
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river
At dawn
Send me away with words of a love song
It was a dark night in New Orleans, as Elijah Mikaelson got ready to leave Mystic Falls, Virginia to try and save Katerina Petrova, his love of 500 years. It didn’t matter that he had broken up with her. He still was very much in love with her, and his love could never die. He had done everything for her, but she wasn’t who she used to be anymore. Last time he had seen her, she had lied to him, yet again. That had been enough for him, and he had walked away. Even though he had hope for her, he needed to be there for his family, so he had left her in Mystic Falls. She had been a vampire when he had broken up with her. He had just heard from Mystic Falls though, that she was human and had taken a tragic turn for the worse. He may have broken up with her, but he knew he had to save her, no matter what. It was his flaw. He saw something or someone that needed fixed, and he couldn’t help but try and fix it or that someone. Even though it was Katerina’s fault for becoming human, it wasn’t her fault for dying of old age. No matter what, she didn’t deserve this. No one did. He hoped that he wasn’t too late to save her. He still loved her, after all.
When he entered the Salvatore boarding house and found his way to the room she was in, he knew she didn’t have much time left. She was weak from dying and he saw Damon on her bedside, tormenting her in her head. He wanted to rip his heart out, but he didn’t. He was better than that.
He walked in.
“Enough.”
Damon stopped and turned around to see Elijah, now on his feet.
“Who called you?” he asked.
“Someone named Nadia. Now, if you’d be so kind as to leave, I won’t harm you for tormenting her on her deathbed.”
Damon left, and Elijah went to sit on her bedside.
He took her hand in his and looked down at her.
“Katerina,” he greeted.
Hearing her human name, she opened her eyes and looked up to see Elijah.
“You came.”
She smiled.
He smiled back.
She rested a gentle hand on the side of his face.
“I was afraid I’d be too late to say goodbye.”
“I’m a fighter, and I was waiting for you. I wasn’t going to die without seeing you for the last time.”
“I wish I could stop this, but I know now that I’m too late to help you.”
“By being here with me, you’ve helped me enough. You being here gives me peace. Promise me, Elijah, that when I’m gone, you’ll take good care of Nadia. I never got to be a mother she deserves, but she needs to go to New Orleans with you. She never knew her father and you would be the best father she could ever ask for. Just take care of my daughter.”
“I promise I’ll take care of Nadia,” he promised. He hadn’t realized Nadia who had called him was Katerina’s daughter. He’d find out how it was possible later.
“Thank you. I love you, Elijah.”
“I love you, too, Katerina. Always and forever.”
She smiled and then closed her eyes.
His heart broke, knowing he was too late. Just a little too late. He wanted to cry but wouldn’t. Not now. Not here.
He silently left the room and he and Nadia went to New Orleans, where they buried her in the cemetery.

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…
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.

And we can learn to love again…
Apologize (Kalijah)
*England 1492, Cabin*
I’m holdin’ on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearin’ what you say
But I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
While Rose and Elijah were arguing, Katerina Petrova, seeing no way out but death, and seeing that there was a rope hanging from the ceiling, hung herself by length of rope.
Rose and Elijah looked to see what she had done, which stopped them arguing.
But wait…
You tell me that you’re sorry
When Katerina woke up, she saw that she was on the bed with Elijah standing over her, and sat up in bed, realizing that she was in transition to become a vampire.
“Why’d you do it? I would’ve helped you escape.”
“No. You would’ve helped me run and that wouldn’t have been enough,” she replied.
They got to their feet and Rose tried to kill her with a stake, but she put the old woman who owned the cabin, in front of her which resulted in Rose accidentally staking the woman.
“Don’t you see? She used your love for her against you,” Rose said.
“I’m sorry. Forgive me,” Katerina said to him, before feeding from the woman. Then she through the woman’s body at Rose and fled from the cabin at vamp speed.
*Pennsylvania, 2013/2014*
Didn’t think I’d turn around
And say…
That it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late…
I said it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late, too late, oh, oh
Katherine Pierce snapped Elena’s neck from behind and looked at Elijah.
“Sorry, I got held up.”
“You killed Jeremy Gilbert.”
“Yes, Elijah, I killed Jeremy Gilbert, a bombshell I’m sure she just couldn’t wait to drop on you. Ironic, since she supposedly doesn’t care about anything.”
“Well, I care. Do you honestly feel nothing for this girl, a girl fated to live the same life that you’ve endured? And now you’ve just taken away the last of her family, just as yours was taken away from you.”
“Uh, why are you looking at me like I enjoyed it?” she questioned, and then he started walking away. She followed him. “Jeremy was collateral damage. I was doing what I had to do to survive.”
He stopped and looked at her.
“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. I love you. Elijah.” He pulled his face away and she put her hands down. “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 that I ever will.”
He began to walk away, and she followed him again.
“Wait. You gave me your word that you would talk to Klaus. I can’t make a deal without you."
He stopped and looked at her again.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She watched, as he walked away from her.
*Night*
Elijah was walking down a sidewalk, when Kat approached him.
He started to pass her, but she stopped him with a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
“What do you want?” he asked her.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive 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 small black box out of her purse.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“Yeah. And I can show 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.”
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man.”
She took his hand and put the box in it, holding hers over it. “Because 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. You don’t owe me anything. I’m gonna let you decide where we go from here.” She passed him and walked away.
He opened it and looked at the cure, and then closed it and crossed the street, where Rebekah was perched on his parked car.
*Mystic Falls, Mikaelson Mansion, 2014*
I’d take another chance
Take a fall, take a shot for you, oh, oh
It was a dark night, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah at the Mikaelson mansion.
“Be smart, Elijah. Klaus is stark raving mad, not to mention completely irredeemable. Leave him to set off on this new adventure, and let’s you and I go on ours. I have lost so much of my life to Klaus. So, have you,” she said, as she looked up at him. He had just told her that he was leaving to help Klaus in New Orleans. She rested her hands soothingly on his arm. “It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
“Katerina…” He placed a hand on her cheek and drew his face to hers, before kissing her forehead. “Goodbye.”
She stood there silently after he had vanished, upset about his choice, and felt that it was Elena’s fault.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer/House of the Rising Son*
It was a dismal night, as Katherine walked towards the plantation home where the Mikaelsons were staying at in New Orleans. It had been a long and hellish summer for her, not knowing if one of her supernatural enemies would come around the next corner. Because she had been so angry that she had tried to kill Elena, Elena had shoved the cure for vampirism down her throat. Now Katherine was human, homeless, hungry, tired, and dirty. Her hair hadn’t seen a brush all summer and she had been a vampire for so long, she didn’t know how to be human. Now she saw herself as a worthless, weak, slow, and fearful human. She kind of was. Supernatural beings were stronger and faster than humans, and she was afraid. Now she was about to ask an Original for help. She hadn’t been able to reach Elijah, so she was going to her worse enemy; her greatest enemy, for help and protection. She had thought about what deal she would make with him and figured it would work.
She stood outside and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened to reveal the devil in disguise. A very angry and worked up Klaus. Rebekah and Hayley were in the background, Hayley getting her breath back, and Rebekah looking angry at Klaus.
“I can’t get a hold of Elijah, so I’m coming to you for help. You’re the most powerful thing on earth, and I’ve gotten myself in the worst-case scenario. I’ll make a deal with you,” she said, before he could say anything.
He gave an amusing smile, amused that the once powerful vampire was now a worthless human.
“You are the most hilarious sight,” he said, chuckling.
He stepped aside, and she walked in.
He closed the door and they faced each other.
“I’m out of here. Try not to kill the Wolf Girl,” Rebekah said, before leaving.
Hayley went to her room, while Klaus and Katherine talked in the parlor.
“I’m glad you find my misery so amusing,” Kat commented.
“It’s not every day I find my former doppelgänger on my doorstep,” he replied. “What deal do you want to make, luv? I have an old friend to take down.”
“It’s simple, really. I help you make an army of hybrids and in return, you give me protection. In the end, you let me have my happiness with Elijah, and give me freedom from you.”
“You raise a high bargain. I like it. Deal.”
So, in the end, Elijah was saved, and Klaus let them have their happiness.
*The Casket Girls/50 Days of Grayson*
It was a dark night, as Kat headed down the stairs to get something to drink. Everyone at the compound was asleep after everything. Davina had attacked Klaus, Marcel, and Elijah so she had had to talk Davina out of it. After that, everything had been quiet.
Suddenly, halfway down the stairs, pain surged from her left arm and traveled to the left side of her chest. She put a hand on the left side of her chest. She didn’t know what was happening but assumed this was it.
A moment later, she tumbled down the stairs and everything went black.
A few minutes later, Elijah came home from having a drink at the bar, only to see her on the floor on her back.
“Katerina.”
He was instantly at her side.
*Après Moi Le Delunge/ 500 Years of Solitude*
Elijah stood in a hallway, as he watched the doctors try to revive her. He couldn’t lose her. Not when they had only just begun to have the life they had always wanted together. She was his hope and light. He couldn’t bear the thought of the world existing without her in it.
Twenty minutes later, they revived her, and she was sent to bedrest at home. The doctors didn’t think she’d make it through the night.
I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it’s nothin’ new, yeah!
I loved you with a fire red
Now it’s turnin’ blue
And you say…
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid
Knowing she was close to death, it broke his heart. He was afraid to let her go for the very last time, but he couldn’t do anything but watch her die. All he could do was spend time with her during her last moments.
He sat down on her bedside and gave her a smile.
She smiled back.
“I’m sorry you have to watch me die. I know how much it hurts,” she told him.
“Close your eyes, Katerina.”
“But I want to see you.”
“You will.”
She closed her eyes, as did he, and he went inside her head, giving her the happiest moment that he could, until she finally died.
He left her head.
It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late.
I’m holdin’ on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearin’ what you say
But I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
While Rose and Elijah were arguing, Katerina Petrova, seeing no way out but death, and seeing that there was a rope hanging from the ceiling, hung herself by length of rope.
Rose and Elijah looked to see what she had done, which stopped them arguing.

“No. You would’ve helped me run and that wouldn’t have been enough,” she replied.
They got to their feet and Rose tried to kill her with a stake, but she put the old woman who owned the cabin, in front of her which resulted in Rose accidentally staking the woman.
“Don’t you see? She used your love for her against you,” Rose said.
“I’m sorry. Forgive me,” Katerina said to him, before feeding from the woman. Then she through the woman’s body at Rose and fled from the cabin at vamp speed.

“Uh, why are you looking at me like I enjoyed it?” she questioned, and then he started walking away. She followed him. “Jeremy was collateral damage. I was doing what I had to do to survive.”
He stopped and looked at her.
“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. I love you. Elijah.” He pulled his face away and she put her hands down. “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 that I ever will.”
He began to walk away, and she followed him again.
“Wait. You gave me your word that you would talk to Klaus. I can’t make a deal without you."
He stopped and looked at her again.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She watched, as he walked away from her.
*Night*
Elijah was walking down a sidewalk, when Kat approached him.
He started to pass her, but she stopped him with a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
“What do you want?” he asked her.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive 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 small black box out of her purse.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“Yeah. And I can show 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.”
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man.”
She took his hand and put the box in it, holding hers over it. “Because 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. You don’t owe me anything. I’m gonna let you decide where we go from here.” She passed him and walked away.
He opened it and looked at the cure, and then closed it and crossed the street, where Rebekah was perched on his parked car.
*Mystic Falls, Mikaelson Mansion, 2014*
I’d take another chance
Take a fall, take a shot for you, oh, oh
It was a dark night, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah at the Mikaelson mansion.
“Be smart, Elijah. Klaus is stark raving mad, not to mention completely irredeemable. Leave him to set off on this new adventure, and let’s you and I go on ours. I have lost so much of my life to Klaus. So, have you,” she said, as she looked up at him. He had just told her that he was leaving to help Klaus in New Orleans. She rested her hands soothingly on his arm. “It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
“Katerina…” He placed a hand on her cheek and drew his face to hers, before kissing her forehead. “Goodbye.”
She stood there silently after he had vanished, upset about his choice, and felt that it was Elena’s fault.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer/House of the Rising Son*
It was a dismal night, as Katherine walked towards the plantation home where the Mikaelsons were staying at in New Orleans. It had been a long and hellish summer for her, not knowing if one of her supernatural enemies would come around the next corner. Because she had been so angry that she had tried to kill Elena, Elena had shoved the cure for vampirism down her throat. Now Katherine was human, homeless, hungry, tired, and dirty. Her hair hadn’t seen a brush all summer and she had been a vampire for so long, she didn’t know how to be human. Now she saw herself as a worthless, weak, slow, and fearful human. She kind of was. Supernatural beings were stronger and faster than humans, and she was afraid. Now she was about to ask an Original for help. She hadn’t been able to reach Elijah, so she was going to her worse enemy; her greatest enemy, for help and protection. She had thought about what deal she would make with him and figured it would work.
She stood outside and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened to reveal the devil in disguise. A very angry and worked up Klaus. Rebekah and Hayley were in the background, Hayley getting her breath back, and Rebekah looking angry at Klaus.
“I can’t get a hold of Elijah, so I’m coming to you for help. You’re the most powerful thing on earth, and I’ve gotten myself in the worst-case scenario. I’ll make a deal with you,” she said, before he could say anything.
He gave an amusing smile, amused that the once powerful vampire was now a worthless human.
“You are the most hilarious sight,” he said, chuckling.
He stepped aside, and she walked in.
He closed the door and they faced each other.
“I’m out of here. Try not to kill the Wolf Girl,” Rebekah said, before leaving.
Hayley went to her room, while Klaus and Katherine talked in the parlor.
“I’m glad you find my misery so amusing,” Kat commented.
“It’s not every day I find my former doppelgänger on my doorstep,” he replied. “What deal do you want to make, luv? I have an old friend to take down.”
“It’s simple, really. I help you make an army of hybrids and in return, you give me protection. In the end, you let me have my happiness with Elijah, and give me freedom from you.”
“You raise a high bargain. I like it. Deal.”
So, in the end, Elijah was saved, and Klaus let them have their happiness.
*The Casket Girls/50 Days of Grayson*
It was a dark night, as Kat headed down the stairs to get something to drink. Everyone at the compound was asleep after everything. Davina had attacked Klaus, Marcel, and Elijah so she had had to talk Davina out of it. After that, everything had been quiet.
Suddenly, halfway down the stairs, pain surged from her left arm and traveled to the left side of her chest. She put a hand on the left side of her chest. She didn’t know what was happening but assumed this was it.
A moment later, she tumbled down the stairs and everything went black.
A few minutes later, Elijah came home from having a drink at the bar, only to see her on the floor on her back.
“Katerina.”
He was instantly at her side.
*Après Moi Le Delunge/ 500 Years of Solitude*
Elijah stood in a hallway, as he watched the doctors try to revive her. He couldn’t lose her. Not when they had only just begun to have the life they had always wanted together. She was his hope and light. He couldn’t bear the thought of the world existing without her in it.
Twenty minutes later, they revived her, and she was sent to bedrest at home. The doctors didn’t think she’d make it through the night.
I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it’s nothin’ new, yeah!
I loved you with a fire red
Now it’s turnin’ blue
And you say…
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid
Knowing she was close to death, it broke his heart. He was afraid to let her go for the very last time, but he couldn’t do anything but watch her die. All he could do was spend time with her during her last moments.
He sat down on her bedside and gave her a smile.
She smiled back.
“I’m sorry you have to watch me die. I know how much it hurts,” she told him.
“Close your eyes, Katerina.”
“But I want to see you.”
“You will.”
She closed her eyes, as did he, and he went inside her head, giving her the happiest moment that he could, until she finally died.
He left her head.
It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late.
The Girl Who Waited (Kat's POV)
My name is Katherine Pierce and I’m a former vampiress. I have had a very hard life for 500 years, because I chose to run instead of being sacrificed in a ritual by a hybrid named Klaus Mikaelson who prefers to be called Klaus. For 500 years, I ran and stayed one step ahead of him. In the meantime, his elder brother, Elijah Mikaelson, and I were in love, but because of Klaus, we couldn’t be together. Klaus is so paranoid that his siblings will leave him; break the promise they have kept for 1,000 years, “We stick together, always and forever,” that people who his siblings fall for, he kills. I’ve made many enemies that have kept me from being happy and having a life that I’ve always wanted. I thought Klaus was the worse I could and would ever encounter, but I was wrong. There was an immortal by the name of Silas. He killed me, but I came back to life somehow. He killed me because he needed the cure for vampirism and it was inside of me, because Elena Gilbert, my doppelganger, shoved it down my throat on Graduation night when I was so angry that I tried to kill her, because I hate her for getting the life I always wanted. Now, because I screwed Elena over, I’m dying of old age. The cure did something to me. I can’t digest vampire blood and I assume I’m dying of old age because I turned 500 years ago. You want to know what the worst part is? I’m alone in this. I’m surrounded by those that hate me and Elijah doesn’t know what happened to me. If he did, he’d be here, right? So now, all I can do is wait. I wait for his return but know it may be too late and I may not be able to be saved. This is the story of a girl that waits for her long-lost love to return.
It’s a dark night in the Salvatore boarding house, as I lay in bed. Nadia has just left the house, made that I’d rather die than be in her body as a Traveler. Stefan has left too after giving me some peace, and Damon is trying to make me miserable. Why must he do this? I didn’t do this when I was a vampire and he was dying from a werewolf bite. He goes in my head, first visiting my nightmare from 500 years ago when I first turned; the night I found my family and village slaughtered in Bulgaria. Then he goes in my head, making me think that Elijah came for me, but it’s really just Damon. All I want is for this misery to end and Damon won’t stop. I demand him to get out of my head, but he doesn’t.
After what feels like an eternity, it stops, and I open my eyes to see Elijah at the doorway and Damon finally gone; probably scared off by Elijah.
“Elijah?” I question, wanting; needing to know that it’s really him.
“Katerina,” he greets, as he sits on my bedside.
I rest a gentle hand on the side of his face, looking at him.
We smile at each other.
“You came,” I say.
“I did. I’d like you to go to New Orleans with me. There’s a witch there that can help you.”
“You know I’d go anywhere with you.”
“Then let’s go.”
I smile.
On the way to New Orleans, I think about how Elijah finally came back for me. I’m also wondering what will become of me once I’m cured of this. Will Klaus kill me? Will I have to flee from the Mikaelsons again? Will I be safe in New Orleans, me being human again? Will Elijah alone be enough to protect me? Will Elijah and I finally get a chance to be happy together?
After we arrive in New Orleans, we head to the cemetery where I’m introduced to Davina Claire. Then she does a spell and I’m cured. I’ll stay human as long as Elijah’s willing to protect me and give us another chance.
That night, after everything, he decides to get back together and the others, including Hayley, decide to put up with me being here. This makes me happy. I finally got a part of my life I’ve always wanted.

Don't Wanna Miss A Thing (Kalijah)
*1492*
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
It was a beautiful day in England on the Mikaelson estate, as Katerina Petrova stopped playing chase, when Elijah did.
"You're meant to catch me," she said with a laugh
"Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over."
He smiled.
She sat on a bench, and he sat next to her.
"True love is not real, unless it is returned. Do you agree?" she asked him.
"I do not believe in love, Katerina," he lied, not wanting to get close to her, knowing her death would break a part of him if he allowed himself to care.
"That is too sad for me to accept, my Lord. Life is too cruel. If we cease to believe in love, then why would we want to live?" she replied.
*American Gothic-Night*
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever, and ever
It was a dismal night at the Mikaelson house in Mystic Falls, as Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other. He'd just told her that he was leaving town to help Klaus in New Orleans, though he hated leaving her after being there for her for 500 years.
"Please, Elijah. It's our turn," she begged.
"Katerina," was all he could say. He kissed her on the forehead. "Goodbye, Katerina."
Before she knew it, he was gone.

Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time, yeah, yeah, yeah!
It was a beautiful day in Pennsylvania, as they stood in front of each other under a gazebo.
"Katerina," he greeted with a smile. "I've missed you."
She smiled.
"As have I."
They kissed passionately. It had been a while since they'd been able to do this, much less be alone without Klaus' intervention. They wished they could stay like this, but they were in two different worlds. He had loyalty to his family. He felt that he had to sacrifice happiness to be the big brother. She couldn't fully be in his life because of Klaus. He'd wanted her dead for 500 years. This was for her safety, whether they liked it or not.

Like I'm Gonna Lose You (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows
We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone
Woke up in tears
With you by my side
Breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
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.
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love
Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
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."
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know
So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
And I'll make the most out of the minutes
And love with no regrets
Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no
We're not promised tomorrow
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

It was a dark night, as the doctors tried to revive her at the hospital. She'd been found at the bottom of the stairs and brought in, after she'd had a heart attack.
Twenty minutes later, she was finally revived, and they put her on bedrest. The doctors didn't think she'd live the rest of the night.
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you

It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed at the Salvatore boarding house, on bedrest. She was resting, but then felt someone sit on her bedside. Curious as to who would come see her on her deathbed, she looked, only to see that it was Elijah.
He gave a smile, and she smiled back.
"You're here," she greeted.
She rested a hand on the side of his face.
"Katerina," he greeted back. There wasn't much to say, since she was dying, and they hadn't seen each other since she'd watched him walk away. She understood though, he knew. She knew that family came first to him. Just because he left, didn't mean he didn't still love her. He hated to see her dying, but that was the curse of being a vampire. Outliving someone you love that's not a vampire. She was a vampire, but her anger had gotten her into this situation, when she'd tried to kill Elena. Elena had shoved the cure down her throat, since she didn't want to die. "Close your eyes," he told her.
"But I want to see you," she said, her hand now off his face and back on the bed.
"You will," he assured her.
She closed her eyes and he went inside her head, giving her a peaceful dream world.
*1492/Dream World*
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time

Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
It was a beautiful day, as they played chase with each other.
"You're meant to catch me," she said with a laugh and a 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.
When he gave her a peaceful dream world, it was the moment in 1492 that they had connected, even though he hadn't wanted to connect with her, but had fallen for her from that moment on.
They shared a moment and kissed.

"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
*500 Years of Solitude*
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
It was a dark night, as the doctors tried to revive her at the hospital. She'd been found at the bottom of the stairs and brought in, after she'd had a heart attack.
Twenty minutes later, she was finally revived, and they put her on bedrest. The doctors didn't think she'd live the rest of the night.
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
And I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed at the Salvatore boarding house, on bedrest. She was resting, but then felt someone sit on her bedside. Curious as to who would come see her on her deathbed, she looked, only to see that it was Elijah.
He gave a smile, and she smiled back.
"You're here," she greeted.
She rested a hand on the side of his face.
"Katerina," he greeted back. There wasn't much to say, since she was dying, and they hadn't seen each other since she'd watched him walk away. She understood though, he knew. She knew that family came first to him. Just because he left, didn't mean he didn't still love her. He hated to see her dying, but that was the curse of being a vampire. Outliving someone you love that's not a vampire. She was a vampire, but her anger had gotten her into this situation, when she'd tried to kill Elena. Elena had shoved the cure down her throat, since she didn't want to die. "Close your eyes," he told her.
"But I want to see you," she said, her hand now off his face and back on the bed.
"You will," he assured her.
She closed her eyes and he went inside her head, giving her a peaceful dream world.
*1492/Dream World*
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
It was a beautiful day, as they played chase with each other.
"You're meant to catch me," she said with a laugh and a 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.
When he gave her a peaceful dream world, it was the moment in 1492 that they had connected, even though he hadn't wanted to connect with her, but had fallen for her from that moment on.
They shared a moment and kissed.
Because You Loved Me (Kalijah)
*Pennsylvania*
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all
It was a beautiful day, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah.
"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."
*New York-1525*
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
After realizing that she was in danger and had found out where, he'd entered the abandoned warehouse and slaughtered the vampires who'd wished to, and had harmed her.
Afterward, he blurred to her side and pulled out the stake, once knelt by her, and with her against him, he bit his wrist to save her, since she was almost fully desiccated.
He put his wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat, saving her life.
*Pennsylvania*
You gave my wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
It was a beautiful day, as Elijah spoke on the phone. Stefan had said that Rebekah had joined the good guys. After Elijah told him how much she despised Katherine, Elijah gave a threat to him.
"If anything whatsoever happens to Katerina, I will descend upon Elena."
*500 Years of Solitude*
You were my strength when I was weak

You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
It was a dismal night, as the doctors tried to revive her. She'd just had a heart attack tonight at the boarding house.
As the doctors tried their best, Caroline, having a good heart and knowing how much she meant to Elijah, called him and explained what he'd missed, and what had happened.
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
After she was revived and he'd gotten to town and the hospital, he sat on her bedside, knowing that he couldn't save her. She was dying and he couldn't heal her. The one person he knew he should be able to save, he couldn't. All he could do was to stay with her until the end, and try to give her peace.

Say Something, I'm Giving Up On You (Kalijah)
A/N: Based on "Say Something, I'm Giving Up On You," since it's perfect for them, considering Elijah technically gave up on her.
Say something
I'm giving up on you...
*Pennsylvania-Daylight*
Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other, as they half talked, half argued.
"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 and looked up at him. "I love you." She dropped her hand, when he turned his face away. "You don't believe me."
"I want to, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you?"
He turned around and started to walk away.
"Wait," she said.
"Goodbye, Katherine," he said.
*Pennsylvania-Night*
Elijah was walking down the sidewalk, but stopped when Katherine walked over to him, purse slung over her shoulder.
"Elijah," she said.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"To tell you that you're right. I've ran for so long 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 wanna find out."
"I only hope you can find a way back to yourself one day," he replied.
She took his hand, holding out, and set the vial of the cure in his hand, and closed his hand. She still held onto his hand, though.
She looked at him.
"I want you to trust me, just like I'm trusting you. I'm going to let you decide where we go from here." She let go. "You don't owe me anything."
She turned around and walked away.
I'll be the one
If you want me to
Anywhere
I would've followed you...
*Mikaelson Mansion-Mystic Falls*
It was a dark night, as Katherine looked up at Elijah after he had told her that he was leaving to go help Klaus in New Orleans, technically breaking up with her.
"It's our turn, Elijah. Please," she begged him, trying to get him to stay.
He kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodbye, Katerina."
A moment later, he vanished.
Say something
I'm giving up on you...
*For Whom The Bell Tolls*
It was a dark night, as Katherine sat on a cement bench in the woods, absolutely devastated that she was dying of old age. Wes Maxfield had given her an x-ray, looked at it, and told her that she was dying of old age. He had given her six months to live. Just when she got a part of her life back, Nadia, something had to happen. She couldn't help but let the tears fall. Killing yourself when you had no one was one story, but dying unwillingly when you had a daughter to connect with after 500 years was a different story.
She picked up her phone, knowing one person who would always come to her rescue and, if need be, comfort her. He was in New Orleans, but she needed him now, more than ever.
As she waited for him to pick up, she hoped he would come to her aid.
"Katerina," he answered.
She couldn't stop her voice from breaking.
"I screwed up. Now I'm human. I'm dying, Elijah. I need your help."
He had never heard her so broken in all the 500 years that he had known her. He never saw her as someone to cry at all, either. She had always been strong, but now she wasn't. He couldn't blame her for breaking down. He hated that she was dying, but he was happy that she was human. Maybe the Katerina he had fallen in love with all those years ago would finally surface. One could only hope.
"I'm busy right now, but I promise that I will come as soon as I have a chance to leave," he replied. He just hoped that it wouldn't be too late by then.
"Thank you," was all she could think to say.
They hung up and she put her phone away.
And I
I'm feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all...
*Fifty Shades of Grayson*
It was a dark night, as she walked down the stairs at the Salvatore boarding house, on the phone with Elijah who had called to say that he was on his way and to ask her how she was doing.
Suddenly, a sharp pain started up her left arm and traveled to the left side of her chest. She put a hand over the left side of her chest. Her phone fell from her hand, as it began to feel as if she couldn't breathe.
"Katerina?" he said, afraid that he was going to be too late.
As he listened with vampire hearing, his hope shattered, as he heard her heart slowing.
A moment later, he heard what sounded like her tumbling down a set of stairs. Then there was silence.
He hung up and raced the rest of the distance to get to her.
And I
Will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl...
*500 Years of Solitude*
Katherine lay in bed that night, weak, knowing that she was going to die sonner rather than later. Despite that, she was happy. Elijah was there and that's all she wanted.
She smiled at him from where he was seated on her bedside.
"Close your eyes, Katerina."
"I want to see you," she protested.
"You will," he assured her.
She closed her eyes and he went inside her head, giving her their happiest moment. It was England 1492 when they had played chase and had had a heart to heart about love.
When her heart and breathing stopped, he came out of her head and kissed her forehead.
Say something
I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere
I would've followed you
Say something
I'm giving up on you
And I
Will swallow my pride
You're the one I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something
I'm giving up on you...
In the end, he lost his Katerina but he realized, just a little too late, that he had been wrong not to stay with her. If she had lived, he would've given her another chance, because Katerina was worth saving, no matter what the cost.
Say something

I Don't Deserve You (Kalijah)
*Dead Man On Campus*
You're the first face that I see
And the last thing I think about
You're the reason that I'm alive
You're what I can't live without
You're what I can't live without
And you never give up
When I'm falling apart
Your arms are always open wide
And you're quick to forgive
When I make a mistake
You love me in the blink of an eye
It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood on the clock tower, facing the clock, ready to commit suicide, so she didn't have to live through the pain of dying of old age. She was ready to die, unlike the first time she'd been human.
She closed her eyes and stepped off, not knowing that Elijah was coming back for her.
When he saw her falling from the clock tower, he blurred over and caught her from hitting the sidewalk.
When she felt herself be caught, she was curious as to who, out of all people who hated her, had stopped her from killing herself, so she opened her eyes, only to see Elijah. He was back, which was a surprise to her.
He set her on her feet and looked at her.
"Katerina," he greeted, not needing to ask her why she'd tried to kill herself. He knew that she was dying of old age, and knew that she was bound to try and kill herself. He knew it was because she didn't want to be in pain. He understood that and her. He'd known her for 500 years, and no matter what, loved her unconditionally, even though he'd left her to help Klaus in New Orleans six months ago.
"What are you doing here, Elijah?" she questioned, acting as if she didn't want him to be back.
"I came to help you. I heard what happened," he replied. "Just because I left, doesn't mean I don't care about or love you."
She was silent at that. She couldn't deny that she liked what he'd said, because she still loved him, too.
She put gentle hands around his neck and gave a smile.
"I love you, too," she replied, before they kissed.
*American Gothic*
I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway after they'd argued and he had started to leave, as Katherine walked up behind him and put a hand on his arm, stopping him.
"Wait."
He stopped and looked at her, before looking at her hand on his arm.
She took her hand off and he looked at her again, before saying, "Goodbye, Katherine." Then he left, leaving her standing there alone.
That night, she walked up to him on the street, stopping him from going any further, when she stood in front of him.
"What do you want?" he asked, as if he wasn't interested in what she had to say.
"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. And I don't want that to happen." She took his hand, palm up, and set it in his hand, before closing his hand. She still held his hand, though. "I need you to trust me. I want you to trust me. Just like I'm trusting you." She let go of his hand and adjusted her purse that was slung over her shoulder. "You don't owe me anything. I'm going to let you decide where we go from here."
He watched silently, as she walked away, before looking down at the cure for vampirism in his hand.
*Fifty Shades of Grayson*
You're the light inside my eyes
Give me a reason to keep trying
Give me more than I could dream
And you bring me to my knees
You bring me to my knees
Your heart is gold and how am I the one
That you've chosen to love?
It was a dismal night, as Katherine walked down the stairs with a duffel bag and her purse, talking on the phone, letting Elijah know that she had decided to try and find a way to be saved. At first, because everyone in town hated her, she had wanted to just wait to die. Since Elijah had expressed how much he loved her and didn't want to lose her though, she had changed her mind.
*Graduation*
I still can't believe that you're right next to me
After all that I've done
I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you
It was a dark night, as Katherine ambushed Elena in the school hallway, throwing her against a set of lockers.
"Happy graduation, cupcake."
Elena got up and through a locker door at her, but Katherine avoided it and grabbed the wooden part of an abandoned mop in the hallway, breaking the wood part in half. She approached and started hitting her every few minutes on the back with it, as Elena started to crawl away from her.
When Elena was on her back and Katherine was digging into her neck with the wooden stick from the mop, Elena thought fast, not wanting to die.
As Katherine pulled the stick out and was about to strike towards her heart and said, "Bye, bye, little girl," Elena shoved the cure down her throat, which made her black out and become human.
"Have a nice human life, Katherine," she said.
*500 Years Of Solitude*
You're the first face that I see
And the last thing I think about
You're the reason that I'm alive
You're what I can't live without
You're what I can't live without
And you never give up
It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed, dying of old age, hair gray, and wrinkles showing. As she lay there, Elijah came in and sat on her bedside to be with her in her last moments, just in case the witch he'd assigned to save her life didn't succeed. No matter what, he wasn't going to leave her side. He wouldn't let her die alone.
She gave a smile, as he sat down on her bedside.
He smiled back, although it hurt him to see her like this.
*Gone Girl*
When I'm falling apart
Your arms are always open wide
And you're quick to forgive
When I make a mistake
You love me in the blink of an eye
I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you
After Elijah's witch had succeeded in saving her life, Nadia told her at a restaurant one day that Tyler had bitten her. Nadia knew that Klaus' blood was the cure and Katherine wanted to save her, but was afraid of what Klaus would say when she asked. Because Nadia knew how much her mother had suffered because of Klaus, she didn't want the cure. All she wanted was for her mother to be happy.
In the end, Katherine had to watch her long-lost daughter die and desiccate from the bite. It broke her heart into a million pieces.
As she fell to her knees by the couch in overwhelming grief and cried, Elijah came up behind her to kneel by her. When he did, she put her arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder, accepting what comfort he could give her.
He put arms around her in comfort, silent, letting her cry, not having anything to say. There was nothing to say that would make her feel better. He knew only time would heal.
You're the first face that I see
And the last thing I think about
You're the reason that I'm alive
You're what I can't live without
You're what I can't live without
And you never give up
When I'm falling apart
Your arms are always open wide
And you're quick to forgive
When I make a mistake
You love me in the blink of an eye
It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood on the clock tower, facing the clock, ready to commit suicide, so she didn't have to live through the pain of dying of old age. She was ready to die, unlike the first time she'd been human.
She closed her eyes and stepped off, not knowing that Elijah was coming back for her.
When he saw her falling from the clock tower, he blurred over and caught her from hitting the sidewalk.
When she felt herself be caught, she was curious as to who, out of all people who hated her, had stopped her from killing herself, so she opened her eyes, only to see Elijah. He was back, which was a surprise to her.
He set her on her feet and looked at her.
"Katerina," he greeted, not needing to ask her why she'd tried to kill herself. He knew that she was dying of old age, and knew that she was bound to try and kill herself. He knew it was because she didn't want to be in pain. He understood that and her. He'd known her for 500 years, and no matter what, loved her unconditionally, even though he'd left her to help Klaus in New Orleans six months ago.
"What are you doing here, Elijah?" she questioned, acting as if she didn't want him to be back.
"I came to help you. I heard what happened," he replied. "Just because I left, doesn't mean I don't care about or love you."
She was silent at that. She couldn't deny that she liked what he'd said, because she still loved him, too.
She put gentle hands around his neck and gave a smile.
"I love you, too," she replied, before they kissed.
*American Gothic*
I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you
It was a beautiful day in an alleyway after they'd argued and he had started to leave, as Katherine walked up behind him and put a hand on his arm, stopping him.
"Wait."
He stopped and looked at her, before looking at her hand on his arm.
She took her hand off and he looked at her again, before saying, "Goodbye, Katherine." Then he left, leaving her standing there alone.
That night, she walked up to him on the street, stopping him from going any further, when she stood in front of him.
"What do you want?" he asked, as if he wasn't interested in what she had to say.
"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. And I don't want that to happen." She took his hand, palm up, and set it in his hand, before closing his hand. She still held his hand, though. "I need you to trust me. I want you to trust me. Just like I'm trusting you." She let go of his hand and adjusted her purse that was slung over her shoulder. "You don't owe me anything. I'm going to let you decide where we go from here."
He watched silently, as she walked away, before looking down at the cure for vampirism in his hand.
*Fifty Shades of Grayson*
You're the light inside my eyes
Give me a reason to keep trying
Give me more than I could dream
And you bring me to my knees
You bring me to my knees
Your heart is gold and how am I the one
That you've chosen to love?
It was a dismal night, as Katherine walked down the stairs with a duffel bag and her purse, talking on the phone, letting Elijah know that she had decided to try and find a way to be saved. At first, because everyone in town hated her, she had wanted to just wait to die. Since Elijah had expressed how much he loved her and didn't want to lose her though, she had changed her mind.
*Graduation*
I still can't believe that you're right next to me
After all that I've done
I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you
It was a dark night, as Katherine ambushed Elena in the school hallway, throwing her against a set of lockers.
"Happy graduation, cupcake."
Elena got up and through a locker door at her, but Katherine avoided it and grabbed the wooden part of an abandoned mop in the hallway, breaking the wood part in half. She approached and started hitting her every few minutes on the back with it, as Elena started to crawl away from her.
When Elena was on her back and Katherine was digging into her neck with the wooden stick from the mop, Elena thought fast, not wanting to die.
As Katherine pulled the stick out and was about to strike towards her heart and said, "Bye, bye, little girl," Elena shoved the cure down her throat, which made her black out and become human.
"Have a nice human life, Katherine," she said.
*500 Years Of Solitude*
You're the first face that I see
And the last thing I think about
You're the reason that I'm alive
You're what I can't live without
You're what I can't live without
And you never give up
It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed, dying of old age, hair gray, and wrinkles showing. As she lay there, Elijah came in and sat on her bedside to be with her in her last moments, just in case the witch he'd assigned to save her life didn't succeed. No matter what, he wasn't going to leave her side. He wouldn't let her die alone.
She gave a smile, as he sat down on her bedside.
He smiled back, although it hurt him to see her like this.
*Gone Girl*
When I'm falling apart
Your arms are always open wide
And you're quick to forgive
When I make a mistake
You love me in the blink of an eye
I don't deserve your love

Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you
After Elijah's witch had succeeded in saving her life, Nadia told her at a restaurant one day that Tyler had bitten her. Nadia knew that Klaus' blood was the cure and Katherine wanted to save her, but was afraid of what Klaus would say when she asked. Because Nadia knew how much her mother had suffered because of Klaus, she didn't want the cure. All she wanted was for her mother to be happy.
In the end, Katherine had to watch her long-lost daughter die and desiccate from the bite. It broke her heart into a million pieces.
As she fell to her knees by the couch in overwhelming grief and cried, Elijah came up behind her to kneel by her. When he did, she put her arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder, accepting what comfort he could give her.
He put arms around her in comfort, silent, letting her cry, not having anything to say. There was nothing to say that would make her feel better. He knew only time would heal.
Down (Kalijah)
*Monster’s Ball*
I don’t know where I’m at
I’m standing out the back
And I’m tired of waiting
Waiting here in line
Hoping that I’ll fine
What I’ve been chasing
It was a nebulous night in an alley, as she stood not far from the vampiress after finding her after she’d grazed the vampire’s heart that day, thinking she was the enemy.
“Who are you?” Katherine asked her.
“My name is Nadia Petrova and you are my mother,” she said.
Katherine looked at her silently, shocked that somehow, fate had intervened and brought her daughter back to her.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
I shot for the sky
I’m suck on the ground
So why do I try?
I know I’m gonna fall down
I thought I could fly?
So why did I drown?
It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the driver’s seat, injured after the car crashing into a streetlight pole. She’d been trying to get away from Mystic Falls so that Silas couldn’t get to her, but had managed to crash a car that she’d stolen from a road.
Meanwhile, Elijah Mikaelson had just arrived back in town to check up on his Katerina. He’d ignored several of her calls this summer and recently, not wanting to speak to her or see her. She hadn’t left any messages, but now that she hadn’t been answering her phone when he called back, he was worried and had the feeling that something had or was about to happen. If something ever happened to her after he’d left her to fend for herself, he’d never forgive himself. She was his world and he loved her for who she was, no matter what. If she died while he was in New Orleans, he didn’t know what pieces of him would still be intact, if any would be left. It would shatter him into a million pieces if she were dead. Despite everything she’d done, he loved her. He loved both the good and bad parts of her, just as she did with him.
Half an hour later, once on a desolate street, he saw a wrecked car that had crashed into a street light pole. He saw that there was still someone inside, but not moving. Due to smelling the mixed scents of human, blood, and Katerina, he knew who it was.
No, he thought to himself.
He vamp-sped to the driver’s side and forced the crinkled, dented, and jammed door open. He assessed her condition with his eyes and saw that there was blood on either side of her head, some scrapes and scratches, and her lower stomach was bleeding from a shard of glass protruding from it. He pulled the shard of glass out and tossed it on the floorboard, before gently resting his hands on either side of her head.
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her, not knowing how she was human or if she could digest vampire blood.
Hearing a familiar voice through the darkness that surrounded her, she fought against the darkness and when she woke up a few minutes later, she was met with Elijah’s worried face.
“Elijah?” she questioned weakly, very weak from blood loss.
“I came back to check on you, since you weren’t answering my calls back. I’m glad I did. Can you digest vampire blood?” he replied.
“I don’t know. Elena shoved the cure down my throat shortly after you left me, since I was upset and took it out on her and tried to kill her.”
He wasn’t happy that she’d tried to kill Elena, nor was he happy that Elena had shoved the cure down her throat, but he didn’t show it.
As he gently slid an arm under her legs and his other under her, she began to go under.
“You’re going to be okay, Katerina. Just stay with me. I’ll protect you, but you have to fight for me,” was the last thing she heard, before she plummeted back into the darkness.
Elijah gently pulled her out of the wreckage and picked her gently up in his arms, before blurring towards the Mystic Falls hospital.
After pacing in the waiting room for a few hours, a doctor finally came in to tell him that the surgery went great and she was in a recovery room, but she had a concussion, so it could be a day or so before she woke up. He thanked her and went to her room to stay with her. He knew Katerina. She was a fighter. It wouldn’t take too long for her to wake up. He figured anyway. He could only hope that the odds were in their favor.
The next afternoon, when she woke up, he gave a smile, knowing that she’d be okay. He could only hope, anyway. The cure had been shoved down her throat. Since it had never been taken before, they didn’t know if there were any side effects to it.
She smiled back.
“You saved my life. Thank you.”
“I will always save you, Katerina, no matter what,” he replied.
A moment later, they kissed.
*500 Years of Solitude*
You never know why
It’s coming down, down, down
Not ready to let go
‘Cause then I’ll never know
What I could be missing
But I’m missing way too much
When do I give up
What I’ve been wishing for?
It was a beautiful day at the Mikaelson mansion, as she lay in bed. She’d had a heart attack last night and now she was on bed rest until the very end, Nadia at her side. Nadia wanted her to live instead of letting herself die, but she had just found her weeks ago. She didn’t want to do that to her. She didn’t want to lose her, so she was choosing death.
After hours had passed, Elijah came to her bedside with a way to save her. He had a witch in New Orleans doing a spell that would reverse the dying of old age at a rapid pace side effect of the cure.
So, after the spell had been finished, she was a healthy human again.
*Fifty Shades of Grayson*
I shot for the sky

So why do I try?
I know I’m gonna fall down

So why did I drown?
You never know why
It’s coming down, down, down
Oh, I’m going down, down, down
It was a dismal night at the Mikaelson mansion, as Katherine went downstairs for a drink, Nadia in the parlor.
Once she’d cleared the stairs, she stopped, a hand on the left side of her chest, pain having travelled up her arm and all the way to her chest. It was like she couldn’t breathe. Then everything went black and she collapsed.
When Nadia heard a noise, she went to investigate and found her on the floor.
When she knelt by her, she realized that she’d had a heart attack. So, after getting her to the hospital, she told Elijah on the phone, who then said he’d be there as soon as he could.
*Dead Man On Campus*
I can’t find another way around
And I don’t wanna hear the sound
Of losing what I’ve never found
I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try?
I know I’m gonna fall down
I thought I could fly
So why did I drown?
I’ll never know why
It’s coming down, down, down
It was a nebulous night, as Katherine closed her eyes, ready to end her suffering of dying of old age, not wanting to go through all of that. She’d been told by an expert on vampires that she can’t be fixed. She was aging and it couldn’t be helped. She then stepped off.
As she fell to the ground below, she hoped Nadia and Elijah would forgive her.
When she felt like someone had caught her, she opened her eyes to see Elijah.
He set her on her feet.
“What are you doing, Katerina?” he asked of her.
She knew he meant to be asking why she would be committing suicide, when he was here for her.
“Because I’m dying of old age and it can’t be stopped. I went to an expert. I don’t want the pain of dying of old age,” she explained.
“I promise you, Katerina, we will find a way. We always do,” he replied.
“Then save me,” she said.
“You know I will,” he replied.
*No Exit*
I shot for the sky

After Nadia died of Tyler’s bite at the Mikaelson mansion because she didn’t want Katherine to have to sacrifice anything for Klaus to cure her, all Katherine could do now was to sit by the bed on the floor and cry. Elijah was there, but all he could do was hug her in comfort. There were no words to say.

It Happens In A Blink (Kalijah)

Teach me to number my days
And count every moment
Before it slips away
Take in all the colors
Before they fade to grey
I don't want to miss
Even just a second

It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?
It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink
Katherine, human, was heading down the stairs, but stopped, feeling pain travel up her arm and to her chest. She put a hand over her heart and realized that this might just be it. Time had finally ran out for her. Then she fell the rest of the way down the stairs and everything went black.

It was a beautiful day, as Katerina played chase with Elijah.
She stopped running and laughed, as she said, "You're meant to catch me."
"Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over," he said, also stopping.
They sat down on a bench together.
She began to talk to him about love and then said, "True love is not real, unless it is returned. Do you agree?"
"I do not believe in love, Katerina," he lied.
"That's too sad for me to accept, my Lord. If we cease to believe in love, then why would we want to live?"

Katherine was at the hospital, the doctors trying to revive her after her heart attack. After hearing that she was dying of old age and had just had a heart attack, Elijah was on his way back to Mystic Falls. If anything happened to her, he didn't know what he'd do. He loved her no matter what, even if he had left. If she truly was dying for good, he needed to be there in her last moments, or however long she had left to live.
Slow down

About half an hour later, Elijah got to the hospital and now stood in the hallway, watching as they tried to revive her. He hoped that she'd come back. It couldn't end this way. Not if he could help it. Their last moments together couldn't be when he had told her goodbye.
Please, come back to me, Katerina," he thought, as he watched.
A few minutes later, they finally succeeded in reviving her.
When he was told that she may not make it through tonight, he took Katerina home to the Mystic Falls Mikaelson place, and stayed at her bedside in his room.

As she layed in bed, she was stuck in the memory of when she'd given birth to Nadia, and when her father had torn her from her arms and given Nadia up, all because of having her out of wedlock. The memory changed though, to later in 1492. It was a field on the old MIkaelson estate in England, where she and Elijah had played chase by the trees, and she'd spoken of love with him. It wasn't exactly a memory, though. She realized that he was in her head, which she knew most likely meant that she was close to death. She felt like she was ready, though. She'd lived for 500 years in fear of Klaus, and had done many terrible things. She was ready to face whatever was waiting for her, no matter where she was going to end up at.
She approached Elijah.
"I guess this is goodbye then. For good this time," she said.
"I believe it is," he replied.
"Well, if it is, at least you're here. That's all that matters. I've lived a very long time as you know, and I've done many things I'm not proud of. If it's my time, then I'm ready," she told him. "If I end up on the Other Side, then I won't truly be leaving. I'll be around when you need me to be," she promised him. "Tell Klaus that all is forgiven, when you return. And thank you. For being here with me. I know how much it hurts to watch me die, and not be able to do anything to stop it. But I'll still be with you," she then said.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
"I wished that we still had more time. I'm sorry I hurt you. It was never my intention."
"You don't have to apologize. All is forgiven. Family comes first. I get it. Family will always come first, and that's how it should be, but learn to live a little or else you'll miss it," she replied, before kissing him, which he returned.
A few minutes later, when she died, he left her head and kissed her on the forehead.

He loved her no matter what, even if he had left. If she truly was dying for good, he needed to be there in her last moments, or however long she had left to live.
Slow down
Slow down
Before today becomes
Our yesterday
Slow down
Slow down
Before you turn around
And it's too late
It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
About half an hour later, Elijah got to the hospital and now stood in the hallway, watching as they tried to revive her. He hoped that she'd come back. It couldn't end this way. Not if he could help it. Their last moments together couldn't be when he had told her goodbye.
Please, come back to me, Katerina," he thought, as he watched.
A few minutes later, they finally succeeded in reviving her.
When he was told that she may not make it through tonight, he took Katerina home to the Mystic Falls Mikaelson place, and stayed at her bedside in his room.
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?
It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?
It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink
As she layed in bed, she was stuck in the memory of when she'd given birth to Nadia, and when her father had torn her from her arms and given Nadia up, all because of having her out of wedlock. The memory changed though, to later in 1492. It was a field on the old MIkaelson estate in England, where she and Elijah had played chase by the trees, and she'd spoken of love with him. It wasn't exactly a memory, though. She realized that he was in her head, which she knew most likely meant that she was close to death. She felt like she was ready, though. She'd lived for 500 years in fear of Klaus, and had done many terrible things. She was ready to face whatever was waiting for her, no matter where she was going to end up at.
She approached Elijah.
"I guess this is goodbye then. For good this time," she said.
"I believe it is," he replied.
"Well, if it is, at least you're here. That's all that matters. I've lived a very long time as you know, and I've done many things I'm not proud of. If it's my time, then I'm ready," she told him. "If I end up on the Other Side, then I won't truly be leaving. I'll be around when you need me to be," she promised him. "Tell Klaus that all is forgiven, when you return. And thank you. For being here with me. I know how much it hurts to watch me die, and not be able to do anything to stop it. But I'll still be with you," she then said.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
"I wished that we still had more time. I'm sorry I hurt you. It was never my intention."
"You don't have to apologize. All is forgiven. Family comes first. I get it. Family will always come first, and that's how it should be, but learn to live a little or else you'll miss it," she replied, before kissing him, which he returned.
A few minutes later, when she died, he left her head and kissed her on the forehead.

Introduction
You know how people talk about death and dying? They say that your life flashes before your eyes right before you die. For me though, that’s not what I saw as I lay dying. There was pain and then all I saw was my elder childe, Damon Salvatore, and my ex-boyfriend, Elijah Mikaelson. Then there was darkness, though I knew I was most likely going to die if I wasn’t already dead. Who am I you ask? My name is Katherine Pierce, formerly Katerina Petrova. This is how I died.
It was a dark night at the Mystic Falls hospital, as Damon stood outside a room, watching the doctors try to revive her after her heart attack at the boarding house. He wished he had been there, because if they couldn’t revive her, she would’ve died alone and possibly in pain.
Finally, after twenty minutes, they were able to revive her, and she was settled into a recovery room.
Damon was never good at farewells, so he didn’t want to watch her possibly die. Besides, even though he cared about her and would always love her, her heart would always belong to a certain Original in a suit. And that’s exactly who he called.
“Damon. What a surprise,” Elijah answered.
“Well, if it isn’t my favorite Original. I wouldn’t be calling if it wasn’t important, but I thought you should know since you care about her so much.”
Elijah knew who he was referring to at that last part.
“Tell me. What has happened?”
“Katherine was pretty much angry at the whole world on Graduation night, so she took it out on Elena who shoved the cure down her throat. After Silas drank her blood, we found out that the cure did something to her. Time is catching up with her. She’s human and dying of old age. She had a heart attack tonight at the bottom of the stairs. I found her and took her to the hospital. They were able to revive her, but they don’t think she’ll make it through tonight.”
“Thank you. I’m on my way,” Elijah replied to the elder Salvatore.
They both hung up and Elijah sped to Mystic Falls to be with his Katerina. Even if he couldn’t save her and had to watch her die, he would, for once in his life, choose her above everything else. She was his world; his love of 500 years. She was everything to him and more. And if she was truly on her deathbed, then he would at least get to see her one last time to say goodbye, no matter how deep it hurt him.
An hour later, he walked into her hospital room and went to stand at her bedside. It broke his heart, seeing her this way, but at least he could say that he had seen her one last time; that that night he told her “Goodbye, Katerina,” and had left her for his family, wouldn’t be the last time he had seen her.
He sat on her bedside and held her right hand in his left one.
“Oh, Katerina,” he said. “I’m sorry. Please, forgive me. I would’ve come sooner, but I did not know until tonight. I’m here now, Katerina. You are not alone. I am here until the very end, my beautiful Katerina. I promise that I will not leave you. I give you my word. You and I are together, always and forever,” he promised her.
He looked down at her, as he promised her that.
In the end, he stayed with her until the end and buried her in the New Orleans cemetery. It grieved him that she was forever dead, but now she was at peace. He hoped she was at peace, anyway. She had had 500 years of torment, grief, despair, sorrow, and heartbreak. She didn’t deserve that on the Other Side. And that, he believed, was the end of their epic love story. In the end, his promise, always and forever, had broken what should have been a long-lasting love.

A Drop In The Ocean (Kalijah)
*American Gothic*
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain
As I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
'Cause you are my heaven
I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me
Pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go
It was a beautiful day in a Pennsylvania alleyway, as they stood in front of each other.
"I was doing what I had to to survive," she defended, being told by Elijah that he knew that she had lied to him.
"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he accused.
"No. Of course, you're not a means of survival." She rested a hand on the side of his face. "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. Elijah."
He turned his head away.
She put her hand down.
"You don't believe me," she realized.
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 to him and put a hand on his arm.
"Wait."
He stopped and looked at her, before looking at her hand, and then her again.
She let go, getting the hint.
"Goodbye, Katherine," he said.
She could only watch, as he walked away, knowing she'd lost his trust.
*American Gothic-Mikaelson Mansion*
As my train rolls down the east coast
I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain
As I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
'Cause you are my heaven
Misplaced trust in old friends
It was a nebulous night, as they stood in front of each other. He'd just told her that he was leaving town to help Klaus in New Orleans.
"Elijah, please. It's our turn," she pleaded, but he didn't heed.
"Goodbye, Katerina."
He kissed her on the forehead and then was gone.
*Dead Man On Campus*
It was a dismal night, as a human Katherine stood on the clock tower, ready to end it all. She didn't want the pain of dying of old age. She didn't even have anyone that cared, apart from Nadia. She couldn't be the mother Nadia wanted, though. What could she give her? A few months of mother-daughter bonding, and then tears and heartache over her death? She wouldn't do that to Nadia. Who knew if Elijah would care. She refused to call him. He'd left, after all, so why should she bother telling him anything?
She turned to face the clock, and stepped off the ledge, eyes closed.
*England-1492*
Never counting regrets
By the Grace of God I do not rest at all
New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain
As I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
'Cause you are my
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
It was a beautiful day, as Elijah and Katerina played chase on the Mikaelson estate.
"You're meant to catch me," she said with a laugh.
They stopped.
He looked at her.
"Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over."
He sat on a bench and she sat next to him.
*A Miracle*
Now, now
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
Now, now
Heaven doesn't seem far away
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain
As I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
'Cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven
It was a dark night, as a vampire fed from her. Normally, she would've fought, but not when she knew she'd die anyway.
Elijah was driving into town, having heard what was happening to her. Though he'd left, he still loved her. He was determined to save her. He owed it to her for ultimately abandoning her, leaving her alone. He didn't wish any harm upon her. Even if she couldn't be saved, he wouldn't leave her to die alone. He knew her well. She probably felt alone right now. He didn't blame her.
He stopped the car a distance from the scene and got out, recognizing her.
As everything began to go black, she didn't know if it was real, but she saw Elijah there.
"I think you've had quite enough. Let her go," she heard him say.
She felt fangs leave her neck and felt herself in his arms, before everything went black.
He gently picked her up and, after getting her in the passenger seat, drove her to the hospital, knowing from Caroline that she couldn't digest vampire blood. He just hoped she'd make it.
"Stay with me, Katerina," he said, though he didn't know if she could hear him.
A few hours later, he was seated on her bedside, waiting for her to awaken.
