It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other in Pennsylvania, arguing after Elijah had found out that Katherine had lied to him.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused.
“No.” She rested a hand on the side of his face and he turn his face away, so she dropped her hand. “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. Elijah.” When he turned his face away and she put her hand down, she added, “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.”
He turned around and began to walk away, but she caught up with him after a moment and rested a hand on his arm. That made him stop, look at her hand, then her, and then her hand again.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine,” he said, before walking away from her.
She watched, as he left.
That night, she handed him the cure for vampirism to show him that he could trust her. She let him choose where their relationship stood and he later broken up with her that night, leaving town for good to follow his family to New Orleans. She felt like he’d abandoned her when he did that, so she took it out on her and her doppelganger shoved the cure down her throat, turning Kat human.

After being turned into a human, she’d went to New Orleans to the compound to Elijah. She knew that no matter what, he’d protect her with his life. And so, as predicted, he promised her that he’d protect her with his life, as usual.
The next night, she’d gotten into a car crash, which Elijah soon found out, since he’d gone searching for her when he couldn’t get a hold of her.

When Elijah arrive at the wreck, he blurred to the wreck and Katerina. She lay on her side. He had to make sure she was okay. He didn’t know what he’d do without her. They completed each other. They were two halves of a whole.
He knelt at her side and saw how injured she was, so he gently picked her up in his arms and blurred her to the hospital.
A few hours later, she was in a recovery room and would be okay.
