I'm taking a walk through the woods, when I smell the scent of another vampire. So I follow it and before long, I see an unfamiliar vampire walking away from Elijah.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPUHr46Kzo
At vamp speed, I throw him to the ground and stake him with a stake. Then I'm instantly kneeling down at Elijah's side. I smell vervain, but I don't care. It's Elijah. I pull the dagger out of his chest and toss it to the ground. His wound quickly heals, but he's still unconscious. I lightly pat his right cheek with my hand to wake him up.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTrqeQw0GQ
"Elijah," I call. "Wake up. It's me."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMXSR9vUCA
After a few minutes, he slowly wakes up, and I smile down at him in greeting.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFAWrkndFo
"What happened?" I question, though I'm sure I can guess.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXfQmuTSvv
"He called himself Judas and said he was sending a message to my brother. I don't know what the message was. He wouldn't tell me."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd22zCkw7E
"Well, then we'll never know. I killed him," I inform him.
"Well done, Katerina."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6FR1bQxHG
I get to my feet, and then help Elijah to his.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQDd0eM9Qd
"Are you okay?" I ask him.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD3jRqGNrx
"Not to worry, Katerina. I'm okay."601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSijELt8hwz
I smile and he smiles back.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGnXO60kVF
"What do you say I walk with you?" I ask.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipBVShtqIZ
"That would be very kind," he replies.

So we walk side by side silently for a while. Sometimes, the silence between us says everything. Elijah and I don't need words. We only need the smallest gesture, or to look into one another's eyes, to know what we want or need; and if either one needs help, we'll be there for one another. That's how our relationship works.
Once outside the Mikaelson place, we say our farewells and I head home to the boarding house. It's not much of a home, but it has extra rooms for me to stay in. It's not much of a home, because Damon and Stefan show me physically and verbally that I'm not welcome. What choice do I have, though? I can't be homeless.
