*The Return*
Can…
We work this out
I don’t wanna close the door, before the sun goes down
(Before the sun goes down)
We can’t…
Let this go too far
I’ll do anything to meet you anywhere you are
(Anywhere you are)
It was a dismal night, as they made out in the Salvatore boarding house living room. He’d made up his mind to kiss her, instead of killing her, for the moment. Now they were making out, here against the wall.
‘Cause it doesn’t matter anymore
Who was right or wrong
If we could only find the words we lost before
What we have is gone…
Say it now
Find a way to say it now
Don’t be afraid to say it now
Everything we’re keeping inside
Don’t wait just let your heart speak
It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other.
“I have a question. Answer it and it’s back to fireworks and rockets red glare. Answer it right and I’ll forget the last 145 years that I’ve spent missing you. I’ll forget how much I loved you. I’ll forget everything and we can start over. This could be our defining moment, because we have time. That’s the beauty of eternity. I just need the truth, just this once.”
“Stop. I already know the question and its answer. The truth is…I’ve never loved you.”
She left the boarding house, as her words sunk in, though she’d lied to him to protect him.
Upset at what she’d said, he threw an empty shot glass at the fireplace and it shattered into pieces.
*As I Lay Dying*
Don’t waste another heart-beat
‘Cause we’ll never know ‘til we let it out (let it out)
Say it-Say it now
(Say it, say it)
My heart…
Is wearing thin…
I don’t wanna fight a war that no one’s gonna win
(No one’s gonna win)
All this time we’ve grown apart
Looking for an end
If I’m the one that’s holding on and holding back, here’s how we begin
We gotta
Say it now
It was a dismal night, as Damon lay in bed, dying, and only moments from joining the Other Side.
Katherine walked in with the cure in hand and put the vial of the cure to his lips, making the blood go down his throat, curing him and saving his life. She rested a hand on the side of his face.
When he looked at her, he said, “You came.”
“Of course I came. I owed you one.” She took her hand away and then walked out of the room, leaving him to ponder on what she’d meant by that.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
Find a way to say it now
Don’t be afraid to say it now
Everything we’re keeping inside
Don’t wait just let your heart speak
Don’t waste another heart-beat
‘Cause we’ll never know ‘til we let it out (let it out)
Say it-Say it now
(Say it, Say it)
No more getting lost between the lines
Can…
We work this out
It was a dismal night at the Salvatore boarding house, as Damon stood in the living room, finishing a shot glass of Bourbon, standing by the drinking table.
“Katherine,” he said, but it wasn’t a greeting. He’d once loved her the most, but he hated her. He’d hated her since she’d returned and had told him, “The truth is…I’ve never loved you.”
She finished her shot glass of Bourbon she’d helped herself to.
“You’re going to have to cut me off soon. My tolerance is a joke now,” she said. She then said, “It’s just so…glorious,” putting on a fake smile.
He couldn’t help but notice how she looked as a human now. She wasn’t the Katherine he’d known for 145 plus years. He knew she was trying to hide her feelings for the moment, but she couldn’t do that with him. As much as he hated to admit it, they were alike in more ways than one. After all, she’d made him in her own image. He hated her, but couldn’t help but feel for her now.
“You’re miserable,” he stated.
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up. Your nails are chipped. You’re a sad miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.”
He bit his wrist and held it out to her.
She put a hand around his arm, thinking about it, before looking at him.
“Go ahead. Drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bite the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on,” he encouraged.
She took her hand off his arm.
“I can’t, okay?” she admitted. “No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”
“And that would be tragic,” he commented.
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, a hand on his chest and her right one resting on his arm.
“What are you doing here, Katherine?” he asked her, not wanting her playing on his feelings she was dead on right about.
“There’s someone chasing me,” she told him.
“Then run. Run far away.”
“Damon, you don’t understand,” she reasoned. “I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself! I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon! Please, just…help me,” she pleaded and begged with him.
“Fine,” he said, though he wasn’t sure if it was a promise or not. He hated her, but a part of him wanted to protect her. He didn’t know why. Maybe it was because she was human now.
I don’t wanna close the door, before the sun goes down
(Before the sun goes down)
Say it now
Find a way to say it now
Don’t be afraid to say it now
It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the car after having tried to run when Damon had tried handing her over to Silas. She was quite injured from crashing the car into a streetlight pole, though she tried her best to stay awake, which she knew she was miserably failing at doing.
Everything we’re keeping inside
Don’t wait just let your heart speak
Don’t waste another heart-beat
‘Cause we’ll never know ‘til we let it out (let it out)
Say it-Say it now
(Say it, Say it)
‘Cause we’ll never know ‘til we let it out
(Say it, say it now)
Say it-Say it now
(Say it, Say it)
After realizing something was wrong, Damon went in search of her and found her in his crashed car about forty minutes later.
Please, be okay, he thought, and blurred to her side of the car. “Katherine!” he said, and finally got the jammed door open, but she didn’t move. He looked her over and saw how injured she was. She’d lost a lot of blood and there was blood on either side of her head. Her lower stomach was bleeding heavily and a shard of glass had opened her leg artery. He knew he had to get her to a hospital soon, or she’d die from her injuries alone. She was very pale. He didn’t want her to die, though; Especially, when this was his fault.
He gently pulled her into his arms and blurred to the hospital.
A few hours later, he was seated on her bedside after she’d survived surgery. He was waiting for her to wake up, since she’d be okay now. He didn’t know what he’d do if he’d lost her, but he also didn’t know why he suddenly felt this way towards Katherine. Human or not, she was still the same person that had hurt him.
