*1492*
And I’ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind
And I’ll use you as a focal point
So I don’t lose sight of what I want
And I’ve moved further than I thought I could
But I missed you more than I thought I would
And I’ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me

“Are you so foolish as to care for her?” Klaus inquired of his brother.
“Of course not,” Elijah answered.
“She is human. Her life means nothing. Love is a vampire’s greatest weakness and we are not weak. We do not feel and we do not care,” Klaus reminded him.
“We did once,” Elijah replied.
Klaus was silent for a moment, remembering, before saying, “Too many lifetimes ago to matter.”
*American Gothic*
Talk some sense to me
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I’ll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take

It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused.
“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. I love you.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “Elijah.”
He turned his face away and she put her hand down.
“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 him walk away for a moment, before catching up with him and stopping him with a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He looked down at her hand on his arm, then her, then her hand again, and then her once again.
She let go, getting the hint.
“Goodbye, Katherine,” he said, for once in his 500 years of knowing her, not calling her her human name.
This time, as he walked away, she let him go.
That night, she found him and stood in front of him.
“What do you want?” he inquired.
“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’d like to find out.”
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?” he questioned.
“Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me, too.”
Oh I’ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind
Oh and I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

After she gave him the cure, showing him that he could trust her, she told him that she’d let him decide where they stood, and then walked away.
He stood with the cure in his hand, and watched her walk away.
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

Later that night, they stood at the Mikaelson place, him in front of her. He’d just told her that he was going to New Orleans. He rested a hand on the side of her face, as she pleaded with him to stay.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
“Katerina,” he said, looking at her. Then he kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
A moment later, he was gone.
