*American Gothic*
I’m watching myself
Drifting away
A vision so darkened
I cannot stay
I’m reaching out wide
Trying to catch myself before I fall
Too little too late
Can you save me?
Where do we go when we walk on light?
Who do we call at the edge of night?
Carry me close like the tear drops in your eyes
All I can give you is memories
Carry them with you and I’ll never leave
It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other.
“What do you want?” he questioned her.
“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?” he replied.
“Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me too.” She took out the cure.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“Yes. 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 put the cure in his hand. “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 going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He watched as she walked away.
I’ll lay my head down
But when I lay my head down
Don’t let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won’t let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don’t let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
So let me freeze time
Before it turns cold
Later that night, he stood in front of her at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls.
He rested a hand on the side of her face after having told her that he was leaving town.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded with him.
“Katerina.” He looked at her for a moment, before kissing her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
A moment later, she stood alone after he’d vanished.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer/House of the Rising Son*
The moments go by
And life goes on
The torturous stars
Are taking every breath I wish I held
The love in my heart
Is never ending
Where do we go when we walk on light?
Who do we call at the edge of night?
Carry me close like the tears drops in your eyes
All I can give you is memories
Carry them with you and I’ll never leave
Elijah was heading home, when he smelled the mixed scents of Katerina, human, and blood. He was curious, so he followed the scents, which soon led him to a car that had crashed into a streetlight pole and was nearly totaled. He could see that Katerina was still inside. Knowing she was injured, he realized that she was human. With that conclusion, he realized that between the time he’d left her and now, someone had gotten an idea to shove the cure down her throat. He knew how much she loved being a vampire. He knew that to her, being human was far from being a gift.
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the jammed door open.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“Katerina,” he called. “Can you hear me, Katerina?”
When he didn’t get anything, he gently pulled her into his arms and out of the wreckage. He then blurred her home, since there weren’t any working hospitals. He didn’t know if she could digest vampire blood, so he wasn’t going to take the chance. His only chance in saving her life was Rebekah. He didn’t have any other choice. He figured that she wouldn’t kill her though, since she was human and he still loved her. Just because he’d left, didn’t mean he didn’t still love her. He would always love her.
I’ll lay my head down
But when I lay my head down
Don’t let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won’t let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don’t let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
Once home, he gently layed her down in his bed and called for Rebekah. As he layed her down, though he didn’t know if she could hear him or not, he told her, “Stay with me, Katerina.”
You can’t see me
But you still feel me
I only live in your memories
I mean something
Your everything
You lay me down
Take me there
Don’t let me go
Half an hour later, she was tended to by Rebekah, so Katherine would be okay now.
He sat on Katerina’s bedside and rested a hand on the side of her face and his other on top of her hand.
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. I should’ve made sure you were okay.” If anything had happened to her while he’d been away, he’d never forgive himself. He knew now that he never should have abandoned her. She couldn’t survive without him; Especially, as a human. She needed him now more than ever.
Hold me in your beating heart
I won’t let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don’t let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
After she recovered and they sorted things out between one another, they got back together, so all was well between them.
