"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" Elijah accused, as they stood in front of each other in an alleyway in Pennsylvania.
"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.
"You don't believe me."
He looked at her.
"I want to. It's my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don't know you. I don't think I ever will." He began to walk away, but she caught up with him and put a hand on his arm. He looked at her hand and then her a couple of times, giving her the hint to let go.
She got the hint and let go.
"Goodbye, Katherine."
She could only watch, as he walked away.

It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place. He'd just told her that he was leaving town and going to New Orleans.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
"Please, Elijah. It's our turn," she pleaded with him.
"Katerina." He looked at her for a moment, before kissing her on the forehead and telling her, "Goodbye, Katerina." Then he was gone.

They can only do harm
Four years later, after he'd given up on Klaus and he knew that Klaus no longer needed him, Elijah tried to get a hold of Katerina, only to find out that while he'd been in New Orleans with his family, Katerina had died rapidly of old age after the cure had been shoved down her throat.
He stood in his dark room and finished a shot glass of Bourbon, before throwing it against a wall in silent anger. Why had no one told him what was happening to her? Why hadn't she told him? If he had known, he would have been there for her, even if he couldn't save her. It was better than her dying with those who hated her, waiting for her to die. He was angry that no one had told him and mad at himself for leaving without even calling to make sure she was okay.
