*American Gothic*
I'm watching myself
Drifting away
A vision so darkened
I cannot stay
I'm reaching out wide
Trying to catch myself before I fall
Too little too late
Can you save me?
Where do we go when we walk on light?
Who do we call at the edge of night?
Carry me close like the teardrops in your eyes
All I can give you is memories
Carry them with you and I'll never leave
It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other.
"What do you want?" he questioned her.
"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?" he replied.
"Because I meant what I said about my feelings for you. And I'd like to think that you feel something for me too." She took out the cure.
"You have the cure," he stated.
"Yes. I can shove this down Klaus' throat and try to kill him, but even if I managed to do it, I'd lose you. And I don't want that to happen." She put the cure in his hand. "I need you to trust me. I want you to trust me. Just like I'm trusting you. You don't owe me anything. I'm going to let you decide where we go from here."
He watched, as she walked away.
I'll lay my head down
But when I lay my head down
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won't let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
So let me freeze time
Before it turns cold
Later that night, he stood in front of her at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls.
He rested a hand on the side of her face after having told her that he was leaving town.
"It's our turn, Elijah. Please," she pleaded with him.
"Katerina." He looked at her for a moment, before kissing her on the forehead. "Goodbye, Katerina."
A moment later, she stood alone after he'd vanished.
