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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAQWO4RIY5Eb
She closed her eyes and stepped off, not knowing that Elijah was coming back for her.836Please respect copyright.PENANABMrUjBnnSl
When he saw her falling from the clock tower, he blurred over and caught her from hitting the sidewalk.836Please respect copyright.PENANAywOeTPDP9i
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAVA3eVqQE5w
He set her on her feet and looked at her.836Please respect copyright.PENANAafnV6DQ6Yk
“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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAGnts2XZlfq
“What are you doing here, Elijah?” she questioned, acting as if she didn’t want him to be back.836Please respect copyright.PENANAqFVwILTTZd
“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.”836Please respect copyright.PENANAqIdbdaNe3b
She was silent at that. She couldn’t deny that she liked what he’d said, because she still loved him, too.836Please respect copyright.PENANANGwprmZ31Q
She put gentle hands around his neck and gave a smile.836Please respect copyright.PENANArOALebhfNH
“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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAdwtS1yp1hq
“Wait.”836Please respect copyright.PENANAmtnoqybUtV
He stopped and looked at her, before looking at her hand on his arm.836Please respect copyright.PENANAieSfU1ttGt
She took her hand off and he looked at her again, before saying, “Goodbye, Katherine.” Then he left, leaving her standing there alone.836Please respect copyright.PENANAl1zSp3hwri
836Please respect copyright.PENANAW6oq0NnyJ9
836Please respect copyright.PENANApGRSMCXpy3
That night, she walked up to him on the street, stopping him from going any further, when she stood in front of him.836Please respect copyright.PENANAEKjTGLT9QZ
“What do you want?” he asked, as if he wasn’t interested in what she had to say.836Please respect copyright.PENANArmg5Az4GRB
“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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAFFa1xu696B
“You have the cure,” he stated.836Please respect copyright.PENANATYhCmb8Cqz
“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.”836Please respect copyright.PENANAdxBOEdPycd
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAX7YMaDpYLW
“Happy graduation, cupcake.”836Please respect copyright.PENANA6QY92xKRRP
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANA9B02rY2iri
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAI1dISYoLen
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAK3PUUqXUiv
“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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAWSdeHuLOUq
She gave a smile, as he sat down on her bedside.836Please respect copyright.PENANAVOmw8ui7Qx
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANArg9iSSzKXi
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAnNQkZvrvBO
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAETe1ObvHAa
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.
