Indeed, we are all so fragile.

Our life is like a thin branch of a tree, which can be broken by a strong wind at any time. Oh, and eternity isn't so eternal anymore when you're just a mere, despicable mortal.

I've been a vampire for over five hundred years, but now it all seems completely pointless.

It's pointless that I became human.

It is senseless that I suffer excruciating agony.

It is senseless that agony has continued for exactly five years.

It is pointless that I exist at all.

All I wanted now was to shake off that pain, that agony that seemed to cling to my body like a second skin.

Did I really want to live? Probably even the most self-loving person would want to die after experiencing such suffering.

When I woke up in the morning, I looked at the soft pink ceiling in my room.

As soon as I opened my eyes, as soon as I came back from the realm of dreams, the pain returned.

It was good to see a happy Klaus in a dream. My heart was beating at an inhuman speed with happiness seeing his smile.

Klaus, where are you? Please answer my call...

Tatia, turning me into a human and magically binding me to Klaus, said he was seeing visions of me. So he knows where I am, he sees how I'm suffering, he sees that I've been in a deep depression for five years and I can't seem to get out of it.

It should hurt him so much more, that's why the agony is so unbearable...

I felt a sting in my neck, so I wanted to tear off the patch again, the wound itself. I sat down and looked around. I was alone in the room, but Bonnie's paralyzing charm had been removed. I could move.

After putting on a light, silky robe, I left the room and looked around. It was quiet and peaceful at home. It seems that there is not a single person.

Maybe I'm still dreaming?

"Katherine," I heard Raphael's quiet voice at the bottom of the stairs, and when I went down she gently took my hand. She looked at me with a worried look.

"Don't start," I muttered in displeasure and got out of her grip and went in the kitchen.

I opened the fridge. I was about to grab the blood packet, purely out of habit, but I stopped halfway. I grabbed a packet of orange juice and poured it into a glass. I looked out the window at the lake water glistening in the sun as I drank the sour bitter drink.

Wondering what time of year it is?

For the past five years, I was completely uninterested in what was happening around me. From the looks of it, it's probably early spring.
