It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood on the clock tower facing the clock, ready to commit suicide so she didn’t have to live through the pain of dying of old age. She was ready to die, unlike the first time she’d been human.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ogVKK7tyB
She closed her eyes and stepped off, not knowing that Elijah was coming back for her.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxi0jKCpWT
When he saw her falling from the clock tower, he blurred over and caught her from hitting the sidewalk.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhl1UaQVHJ
When she felt herself be caught, she was curious as to who, out of all the people who hated her, had stopped her from killing herself, so she opened her eyes, only to see Elijah. He was back, which was a surprise to her.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QczIGjZ1t
He set her on her feet and looked at her.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB0k9AWlXK
“Katerina,” he greeted, not needing to ask her why she’d tried to kill herself. He knew that she was dying of old age and knew that she was bound to try and kill herself. He knew it was because she didn’t want to be in pain. He understood that and her. He’d known her for 500 years and no matter what, loved her unconditionally, even though he’d left her to help Klaus in New Orleans six months ago.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrG0CYdmv6
“What are you doing here, Elijah?” she questioned, acting as if she didn’t want him to be back.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlALTxgocd0
“I came to help you. I heard what happened,” he replied. “Just because I left doesn’t mean I don’t care about or love you.”647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEozvFWmLb3
She was silent at that. She couldn’t deny that she liked what he’d said, because she still loved him, too.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxsXK7pwRz
She put gentle hands around his neck and gave a smile.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdZmoPqj89
“I love you, too,” she replied, before they kissed.

It was a beautiful day in an alleyway after they’d argued and he had started to leave, as Katherine walked up behind him and put a hand on his arm, stopping him.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X8y5E9q8j
“Wait.”647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexG0RjWOXv
He stopped and looked at her, before looking at her hand on his arm.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxj19marMS
She took her hand off and he looked at her again, before saying, “Goodbye, Katherine.” Then he left, leaving her standing there alone.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLobd49ZGsx
647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5js8YQFWy
647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLBvOc2V2Q
That night, she walked up to him on the street, stopping him from going any further, when she stood in front of him.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmP5Ikdplg
“What do you want?” he asked, as if he wasn’t interested in what she had to say.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbYO5gRlJh
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying 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.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVz8u01a9w
“You have the cure,” he stated.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmueUSBn0d
“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 took his hand, palm up, and set it in his hand, before closing his hand. She still held his hand, though. “I need you to trust me. I want you to trust me, just as I’m trusting you.” She let go of his hand and adjusted her purse that was slung over her shoulder. “You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3QUoeGGXb
He watched silently, as she walked away, before looking down at the cure for vampirism in his hand.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine walked down the stairs with a duffel bag and her purse, talking on the phone, letting Elijah know that she had decided to try and find a way to be saved. At first, because everyone in town hated her, she had wanted to just wait to die. Since Elijah had expressed how much he loved her and didn’t want to lose her though, she had changed her mind.

It was a dark night, as Katherine ambushed Elena in the school hallway, throwing her against a set of lockers.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB73MJQ3yBe
“Happy graduation, cupcake.”647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9I7Z8nP3Y
Elena got up and through a locker door at her, but Katherine avoided it and grabbed the wooden part of an abandoned mop in the hallway, breaking the wood part in half. She approached and started hitting her every few minutes on the back with it, as Elena started to crawl away from her.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3SQLLeIhK
When Elena was on her back and Katherine was digging into her neck with the wooden stick from the mop, Elena thought fast, not wanting to die.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKewj4KxMq
As Katherine pulled the stick out and was about to strike towards her heart and said, “Bye, bye, little girl,” Elena shoved the cure down her throat, which made her black out and become human.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts0RWH5G2q
“Have a nice human life, Katherine,” she said.

It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed, dying of old age, hair gray, and wrinkles showing. As she lay there, Elijah came in and sat on her bedside to be with her in her last moments, just in case the witch he’d assigned to save her life didn’t succeed. No matter what, he wasn’t going to leave her side. He wouldn’t let her die alone.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxjena0XtN
She gave a smile, as he sat down on her bedside.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgBbppmfz
He smiled back, although it hurt him to see her like this.

After Elijah’s witch had succeeded in saving her life, Nadia told her at a restaurant one day that Tyler had bitten her. Nadia knew that Klaus’ blood was the cure and Katherine wanted to save her, but was afraid of what Klaus would say when she asked. Because Nadia knew how much her mother had suffered because of Klaus, she didn’t want the cure. All she wanted was for her mother to be happy.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7000zBMTmH
In the end, Katherine had to watch her long lost daughter die and desiccate from the bite. It broke her heart into a million pieces.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbs7ke2wZ8
As she fell to her knees by the couch in overwhelming grief and cried, Elijah came up behind her to kneel by her. When he did, she put her arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder, accepting what comfort he could give her.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ45uJLImC8
He put arms around her in comfort, silent, letting her cry, not having anything to say. There was nothing to say that would make her feel better. He knew that only time would heal.
