Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
It was a dark night in New Orleans, as Katherine Pierce, newly turned human, sat in the wrecked car, blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass in her left side, a wound on her right thigh, blood on and around her and on her from the damage the crash had caused, pale from massive blood loss.
Meanwhile, Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest of the Original siblings, left the bar after a drink.
On his way home, he smelled the familiar scents of Katerina and blood, so he went to investigate, wondering why she would be in town.
A few minutes later, he saw her. As soon as he did, he knew she was human.
"Katerina!" he said, as he raced towards the dented and crinkled car, heart sinking. If she died because he hadn't been there for her, he would never forgive himself.
As soon as he forced the door open, he knew she had lost a massive amount of blood.
He rested a gentle hand on the right side of her face.
"Katerina?" he called to her. "Katerina."
He gently turned her head to look at him and saw how pale she was with eyes barely open to slits and glassed over. And with vamp hearing, he could hear her slow heartbeat, but he couldn't hear her breathing.
"Stay with me, Katerina," he said, as he gently slid his right arm under her, crook of arm supporting her head. With his free hand, he took the shard of glass out and tossed it to the ground, before sliding his left arm under her legs, gently pulling her into his arms.
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a place that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
