It was a dismal night at the Mikaelson place, as a human Kat fought against Julian. To avoid him from harming the Salvatores, she’d lured him here. She’d always loved Damon, but Elijah was the one for her. She didn’t want them dead, so her plan was to get rid of Julian. Just in case she failed though, she’d brought him here. She knew Elijah wouldn’t fail. He was an Original, after all. That, and if Julian killed her, she knew he’d rip Julian’s heart out.
After half an hour of fighting, Julian rammed the sword into her, killing her, which Elijah arrived in enough time to see.
“No!”
Elijah immediately blurred towards him and, before Julian could pull the sword out of her to use it on Elijah, Elijah ripped his heart out.
Elijah pulled the sword out of her and tossed it to the floor. He then knelt at her side and gently pulled her into his arms.
“Katerina,” was all he could say.
He looked down at her in grief, but after a few minutes, he composed himself, not letting himself break down. He had to get her out of the Phoenix stone. Having found out about Freya through Rebekah and Klaus in New Orleans, he called Freya, needing her help.
Once he told her everything, she agreed to help, and left town to go to Mystic Falls.
Elijah gently layed her down on the kitchen table and awaited her arrival.
Do you really want to know
Just how long we’ll last
Will all of the bad times pass?
How can we make things right?
Ooh and why, why is the world so unkind?

Meanwhile, Kat woke up to find herself in the cabin the night her parents were slaughtered by Klaus.
She got to her feet, realizing this. She wouldn’t give in to whatever it wanted to do to her. Besides, she already knew what happened to them was partly her fault, but also partly Klaus’ fault. She’d ran and he’d slaughtered them.
She turned around to leave, only to see her father.
“It’s all your fault, Katerina. Everyone you cared about died because of you. You killed your family. You killed Pearl and Anna. You killed your friends. You killed Emily. You killed your parents. All of ours deaths are on your hands.”
“No,” she denied. “I was doing what I had to to survive.”
“You lost yourself along the way, Katerina. You say that so you don’t have to feel guilty for getting your friends and family killed. You need something so you can sleep at night, so you tell yourself that, because the truth is too painful. Everything you touch dies.”
She couldn’t deny the part about losing herself and that she’d killed people. She’d lost herself. She’d even killed some she didn’t have to kill. She’d thought at the time though, that she was doing what she had to. Survival had been everything to her. Her father was wrong about Pearl and Anna, though. She hadn’t had any hand in killing them. That had been just John.
“You’re wrong,” she denied, disagreeing with the parts that were wrong. Then she left the cabin.
A moment later, she was in Mystic Falls at the Mikaelson place. She recognized what was happening. This was when he’d chosen between her and Klaus. In reality, he’d chosen her, but this was another version.
She watched, as Elijah walked away. Then he was gone and Damon was suddenly there.
Damon approached her.
“My love was never enough for you, was it? Now you’ve lost the one person that would’ve done anything for you. You hurt everyone around you. You’ll never change, Katherine. You ruined me and neither of us can take that back.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I was trying to protect you. Elijah would never leave and I’m not naive. I know that I’ve hurt people. I have regrets. I wish I could’ve been there for you, but I was different as a vampire. I can’t take back the bad I did, but as a human, I get a second chance. I have my true love and I’ve already changed. I always loved you, but Elijah has always been the one.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I’m so sorry, Damon.” She put her hand down.
“Then prove that you regret everything and let go. I’ll help you find liberation. Let go of everything holding you back from being who you really are, deep down.”
“Never,” she stubbornly replied.
“You’ll break soon enough, Katherine. It’s just a matter of time.”
We surely can find peace of mind
If we only see the light
Can’t you see that?
Can somebody tell me why?
Why do our dreams go wrong?
Why can’t we all get along?
Oh where did we start?
Oh and tell me when
When will we ever learn
There’s nowhere else we can turn
The truth is in our hearts
Here we are together

Meanwhile, Freya and Elijah were by the table he’d layed her on.
Elijah silently watched, as she did what she could to bring her back. It had to be as soon as possible, since she hadn’t dealt with a lot of things she’d done. He knew she had regrets, but things she’d done and that she’d had to go through, she hadn’t dealt with it, apart from when his brother had killed her family. She’d always ignored her past, instead of dealing.
Sometimes the road gets hard to travel
Sometimes the pain’s too much to bare
Sometimes when life seems to unravel
That’s the time oh to say
We’re gonna make it anyway
Can’t you see that?

After a few hours, Freya finally got her magically back into her body.
When Katherine woke up, she was in her and Elijah’s room, Elijah seated on her bedside.
She sat up.
“You did it.”
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“Of course, Katerina.”
They smiled at each other and then kissed.
