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.626Please respect copyright.PENANA4et9hIQ8cN
She closed her eyes and stepped off, not knowing that Elijah was coming back for her.626Please respect copyright.PENANAA1445c4L9F
When he saw her falling from the clock tower, he blurred over and caught her from hitting the sidewalk.626Please respect copyright.PENANAS624dTL2Pl
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAzwGtIAA9b0
He set her on her feet and looked at her.626Please respect copyright.PENANAhahumFag6T
“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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAkeu4OHUPgC
“What are you doing here, Elijah?” she questioned, acting as if she didn’t want him to be back.626Please respect copyright.PENANA9AaOEqsBLH
“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.”626Please respect copyright.PENANALwzWSQ7yOe
She was silent at that. She couldn’t deny that she liked what he’d said, because she still loved him, too.626Please respect copyright.PENANAk0QwGNvnoI
She put gentle hands around his neck and gave a smile.626Please respect copyright.PENANAbvIt68NJQk
“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.626Please respect copyright.PENANA3y1lyHXOJK
“Wait.”626Please respect copyright.PENANAWkxf7Vyta0
He stopped and looked at her, before looking at her hand on his arm.626Please respect copyright.PENANAOtFYbssnEF
She took her hand off and he looked at her again, before saying, “Goodbye, Katherine.” Then he left, leaving her standing there alone.626Please respect copyright.PENANAreUTc0c63E
626Please respect copyright.PENANABYf4UQT0Qe
626Please respect copyright.PENANAYkvpptrmzU
That night, she walked up to him on the street, stopping him from going any further, when she stood in front of him.626Please respect copyright.PENANAVXnlS4Fw8d
“What do you want?” he asked, as if he wasn’t interested in what she had to say.626Please respect copyright.PENANArfrMJxW4XZ
“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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAB7P6zG4VRO
“You have the cure,” he stated.626Please respect copyright.PENANAZSTeDNuofp
“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.”626Please respect copyright.PENANAMSZXzNcGJr
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAhpM6DAhFbI
“Happy graduation, cupcake.”626Please respect copyright.PENANAaJaGvRxmZa
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAd0lTBz583j
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANA3TkFYBvKiY
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAayveq3abEB
“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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAcB4StjT3V0
She gave a smile, as he sat down on her bedside.626Please respect copyright.PENANAnxHbwPaHXm
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAC8rqWSvcEj
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAcZNd3MNKVI
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.626Please respect copyright.PENANAKqKIKv8ggz
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.
