*American Gothic*
I woke up before the sun
Chased your ghost across the yard
Through the fog and tumbling dark ‘til you were gone
Virginia
I can hardly breathe
I’ve forgotten how to sleep
And your face still haunts my dreams when I’m alone
So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Elijah stood in front of her at the Mikaelson place. He’d just told her that he was leaving town.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded with him, trying to get him to stay, but to no avail.
He rested a hand on the side of her face. “Katerina.” He looked at her in silence, before kissing her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.” Then he was gone.
*Graduation*
Yes
I’m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure it doesn’t matter at all
The things I gave away
They’re not coming back for me
Should’ve learned from my mistakes but I never do
As I lay here all alone I hang up before I call
And admit to all my faults to pass the time
So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
After Elena shoved the cure down her throat and she woke up, she left the school, aimlessly limping around, not knowing where to go now that she was human. She knew everyone would hate her more once Elena told them all that she’d tried to kill her. She had to get out of town, but she didn’t know where. She thought about Elijah, but she didn’t know if he’d want her in town or to protect her. He’d left after all. She thought about calling, but decided not to.
*Always and Forever*
Yes
I’m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure it doesn’t matter at all
There’s a place we used to go
Today I went alone
If there’s a message in this song
Well I don’t know
So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
After making up her mind, she went to New Orleans and walked through the streets in the French Quarter, asking around, trying to find someone that would know where the Mikaelsons were staying at. She needed to get a hold of Elijah, but she didn’t want to call, in case he was in the middle of something with Klaus.
Yes
I’m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure
So now I’m walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I’m imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Yes
I’m walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure
And I’d tell you that I miss you but I’m sure it doesn’t matter at all
After half a day of trying to get answers, she finally came upon an old witch friend of hers; Sophie. She got the address of where they were staying at and went over there. Then she knocked.
A few minutes later, there stood Elijah.
“Katerina?” he inquired, surprised to see her human.
“Elijah,” she greeted. Then she summarized what had happened to her, knowing he didn’t know what had happened. Then she asked him for protection and a place to stay.
“Of course, Katerina. I will always protect you. You know that,” he replied, and stepped aside.
She walked inside and he closed the door behind her.
