It was a dismal night, as Katerina Petrova stood by a food table at a ball.
Elijah came up to her and was shocked for a moment, at the resemblance to a former doppelganger he’d loved that was no longer alive.
“Forgive me. You remind me of someone,” he said.
*American Gothic*
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Oh tell me you love me

It was a beautiful day, as they stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alleyway.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused her.
“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 dropped her hand.
“You don’t believe me.”
“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 began to walk away.
She watched for a moment, before catching up with him and put a hand on his arm.
He looked at her hand on his arm, then her, then her hand, and then her again.
She let go, getting the hint.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She watched, as he walked away.
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part

It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him in Pennsylvania.
“What do you want?” he questioned.
“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 want to find out.”
“How do I know this isn’t another lie? Katherine Pierce deceiving yet another man?”
“Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I’d like to think that you feel something for me too.”
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

She and Elijah stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. He’d just told her that he was leaving town.
He rested a hand on the side of her face and she pleaded for him to stay, saying, “It’s our turn, Elijah. Please.”
“Katerina.” For a moment, he looked at her. Then he kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.” Then he was gone.

She gave him a curtsy and he took her hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, my Lord,” she said.
“My pleasure,” Elijah replied.
