*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 night 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 friend

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.
