*500 Years of Solitude*
He said, “Let’s get out of this town.
Drive out of this city, away from the crowds.”
I thought heaven can’t help me now
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins

It was a beautiful day, as a human Katherine lay in bed, dying of old age. She was lost in memories, as she lay there. She felt like she was ready to die though. After the life she’d led as a vampire, it was only right for it to finally be her time. Besides, there was no way out. She couldn’t be fixed, because time was finally catching up with her and she would be going where she knew she deserved to go. She would either find peace on the Other Side, or she would be going in another direction due to all the sins she’d committed as a vampiress. She was fated not to live long as a human. If there was a way to stop it, she would, but she didn’t have a choice in the matter. Nadia would have to live the rest of her vampiress life without her and try to be happy, because Katherine knew that she would never get to spend a long enough life with her daughter.
*England- 1492*
My one condition is
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh,
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh.

It was a dismal night, as Katerina Petrova stood by a table of food. She was soon introduced to Klaus and Elijah and gave a bow to both of them.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said.
“My pleasure,” Elijah replied.
Klaus took her hand and kissed it. When she called him Niklaus, he said, “Please. That’s what my mother calls me. Call me Klaus.”
She gave a smile at them both, but was more intrigued with Elijah. She felt like she could trust him, even though they had only just met.
*Tomb*
I said, “No one has to know what we do.”
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound

She looked at him from within the tomb, when she saw him appear. She didn’t know what his intentions were, but she knew that half the time his loyalty was to Klaus, so she was indecisive whether she could trust him or not. She didn’t know in this century what he wanted or what he was doing in Mystic Falls.
Elijah sensed what she was feeling and said to her, “I’m glad you have a good sense to be frightened, Katerina.”
*American Gothic- Mikaelson Mansion*
Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
And when we’ve had our very last kiss
My last request is
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh,
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh

Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other, Katherine not knowing what Elijah would choose. But then he informed her that he was leaving town to help Klaus in New Orleans. She didn’t want him to leave, but she couldn’t do much. There was only one thing she could do to try and make him stay.
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded.
“Katerina,” he said. He kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
She watched, as he walked away.
*American Gothic- Day*
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
You’ll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around

Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other, half talking and half arguing with one another.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he needed to know.
“No. Of course you’re not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.” She put her hand down when he turned his face away. “You don’t believe me.”
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.”
She watched for a moment, as he walked away, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm, stopping him.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand, then her, then her hand again, and finally her once more.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
*Mikaelson Estate- 1492*
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just pretend
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your (just pretend, just pretend)
Wildest dreams, ah-ha ho
In your wildest dreams, ah-ha ho
(even if it’s just in your wildest dreams) ah-ha
In your wildest dreams, ah-ha

It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate, as Elijah and Katerina played chase. She stopped running and gave a laugh, saying, “You’re meant to catch me.”
He stopped as well and replied, saying, “Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”
They gave a smile at each other, before going to sit on a cement bench.
