Summary: Set in S2. Based on "Battlefield" by Lea Michele.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42iihlrbSu
*Present- New Orleans*
It's easy to fall in love
But it's so hard to break somebody's heart
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Once lust has turned to dust and all that's left's held breath
Forgotten who we first met
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
We both know it's coming
Does illusion count for something we hide?
The surface tension's gotta break, one drop is all it takes to flood out this lie
You and I
We have to let each other go
We keep holding on but we both know
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Peace will come when one of us puts down the gun
Be strong for both of us
No please, don't run, don't run
Eye to eye, we face our fears unarmed on the battlefield
It was a nebulous night, as Katherine sat in the driver's seat after wrecking the car she'd stolen to get as far away from Mystic Falls as possible, injured quite a bit and pale from massive blood loss and her injuries. She was human now and everyone in Mystic Falls hated her, so she knew she couldn't stay in Mystic Falls. She knew New Orleans was safer, because Elijah would do anything for her. It didn't matter much that he'd left her for his brother.
*Pennsylvania- Day*
It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of one another. She'd broken their agreement from centuries ago to never lie to him, breaking his trust in her.
"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he inquired.
"No; Of course you're not a means of survival." She rested a gentle 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 looked away and she put her hand down.
"You don't believe me," she realized.
He looked at her.
"I want to. It's my disease. I 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 from her.
She caught up with him and rested a hand on his arm.
"Wait."
He looked at the hand on his arm and then at her.
She took her hand away.
"Goodbye, Katherine," Elijah said, and walked away.
*Pennsylvania- Night*
Katherine walked towards him, purse slung over her shoulder, and he began to pass her.
"Wait," she said, and stood in front of him.
"What do you want?" he questioned.
"To tell you that you're right. I've spent so much time lying and running 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 manage to do it, I'd lose you. And I don't want that to happen." She handed him the cure. "You don't owe me anything. I'm going to let you decide where we go from here."
He watched, as she walked away.
*Mikaelson Mansion*
We seemed like a good idea
We seemed like a good idea
No blood will spill if we both get out now
Still it's hard to put the fire out
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Feelings are shifting like the tide
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
We both know it's coming
Does illusion count for something we hide?
The surface tension's gotta break, one drop is all it takes to flood out this lie
You and I
We have to let each other go
It was a nebulous night, as they stood in front of one another.
"Elijah, please. It's our turn," she begged, once he'd told her that he was leaving to go follow Klaus to New Orleans.
"Goodbye, Katerina."
He kissed her forehead and then left.
*Present Day*
We keep holding on but we both know
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
Peace will come when one of us puts down the gun
Be strong for both of us
No please, don't run, don't run
Eye to eye, we face our fears unarmed on the battlefield
We seemed like a good idea
We seemed like a good idea
We seemed like a good idea
Elijah was walking home, when he smelled the mixed scents of Katerina, blood, and human. As soon as he smelled what seemed to be Katerina being human and injured, he followed the scent trail. If anything happened to Katerina, he'd never forgive himself.
When he saw her in a nearly totaled SUV, clearly very injured, he blurred towards the crash site.
"Katerina!"
Once there, he opened the door and looked at her. He could tell that she was quite injured, so he gently picked her up in his arms. He didn't know how she was human, so he could only do one thing. Have Freya heal her.
"Stay with me, Katerina," he begged, before blurring home.
After Freya healed her, he gently layed her down in his bed and waited for her to awaken.
A while later, everything was forgiven and she was just fine, so they got back together.
