Just one more moment
That's all that's needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of healing
Time to be honest
This time I'm pleading
It was a beautiful day in an alley in New York, as they stood in front of each other, half arguing and half talking.
"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he questioned.
"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 moved his face away, and she dropped her hand. "You don't believe me."
"I want to. It's my disease. I just keep on 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."
She felt helpless and desperate to make him stay with her, but knew she couldn't, as she watched him walk away.
That night, when she handed the cure over to him, that was the first sign of trust that she had been willing to give him, and that he hadn't seen in a very long time. As she had told him, he didn't even owe her anything. She was letting him choose where they stood with their relationship.
Please don't dwell on it
'Cause I didn't mean it
That night, Elijah chose to follow Klaus to New Orleans, so he told her goodbye and kissed her on the forehead.
After he had left, she was heartbroken and angry and, thinking Elena had said something to Elijah that had screwed everything up, Kat tried to kill her, but she got the cure shoved down her throat, turning her human.
Six months later, she died and was taken somewhere that wasn't the Other Side. It was a hellish prison world.
I can't believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter 'cause I made it up
Forgive me now
Every day I spend away
My soul since I love
Gotta be some way I can make it up to you now
Somehow
It was a dismal night in New Orleans, as Elijah walked, heading for home after a few drinks. He was unhappy at Niklaus for everything but was staying due to the prophecy and Aurora. She hated Elijah for compelling her not to go with them back then but hated Klaus for moving on.
He stopped, seeing a girl on the sidewalk. He hadn't expected to see her in town as long as he and Klaus were here, nor had he expected her human. He knew she had to be human, smelling the blood.
By now you know that
I'd come for you
