England 1492

" I really don't see where the problem is , Katerina. " Elijah said as he placed a small kiss on her forehead. They were laying under the sheets on the bed in his chambers and Katerina was sulking and complaining about the gift he gave her in the morning. " You said you like that horse, right ? "

" I said it was beautiful but I didn't said that you have to buy it for me. " She said not looking at him. Two days ago Elijah took Katerina in a small village because she was feeling awfully alone and bored in the castle and he decided to cheer her up by taking her to see some of the world out there , but he couldn't go very far from the house because Klaus wanted to keep an eye of his precious doppleganger. On the way back they passed by a green meadow full of horses who was feeding there and a little white horse caught the eye of his Katerina. She looked so happy just seeing the horse and Elijah was amused how little things like that always seem to impress her so he found the owner of the horse that night and he bought it.

" It's just a horse and it's a gift, besides I gave you far more expensive gifts . "

" That's the problem, I start to feel like some cheap whore. " She said annoyed. " Everyone think that I'm with you because of your money and your brother treat me like I'm trash. " He always looked her like she was some lamb before slaughter wich made her stomach turn.

A sigh escaped his lips . " He is just complicated person, Katerina. " Maybe more of a crazy person, she tought. " And you shouldn't care what people think , the only thing that matter is that I love you. "

" I just wish I could give you something, too. " She said sadly and seeing her sad made him feel sad too.

" Teach me your language. "

" What ? "

" Teach me bulgarian, it will be your gift for me. "

" Are you being serious? " He noded . " Okay, what you wanna know ? " She said, getting closer to his face.

" How is love in bulgarian ? "

" Любов. " Elijah tried very hard to say it corectly but it came out like " lower " which made Katerina laugh . " Don't laugh at me . '' He said by smiling. She looked so beautiful when she was happy, but then again in his eyes she was always beautiful. " Say something else. "

Katerina thought for a little to find a word that won't be difficult for him and then spoke " Щастие. " Elijah made a weird face completely lost at the word and it made him feel like a little boy trying to learn how to speak. " I won't be able to say it even if my life depends on it. " He kissed her nose and she smiled again. This time her smile made him remember what was going to happen on the next full moon, she was going to be killed because of his brother's egoistic wishes and he couldn't let that happen but he still couldn't find a way to cancel the sacriface. He had spoken to a young witch named Mary who promised to ask the spirits to spare the life of the doppleganger . Elijah saved her from a fire when she was little girl and altough she was loyal to Klaus at that point she was ready to risk for her savior.

" I don't think you are motivate enough to learn something, My Lord . " Katerina broke free from his embrace and moved to the other side of the bed which got Elijah confused and she smiled at his expression. " For every word you learn you got the right to get closer to me.

" Then I will never be able to touch you again , my love . " He pulled her closer ignoring her protest and look her in the eyes. "

" You wanted to learn bulgarian and now you're quiting after two words . I didn't knew you give up so fast , My Lord. "

" But it's very hard , why don't you tell me about your childhood instead ? " He wanted to know more about her life in Bulgaria but that seemed a touchy subgect to her and every time he mention it her face fell and she didn't say a word.

He assumed that she will have some good childish memories after all.

" My childhood doesn't worth telling , there's nothing interesting in it . " She tried to hold back her tears but one roll down her check.

" Hey , don't be upset, Katerina " He whiped the tear away of her face and huged her . " Everything is okay. "

" I just miss my family so much , I miss my home. " She said in his shoulder. " Don't you miss your sibings, Elijah ? The home you once had . "

" My home is you and it will do everything to keep it . Everything. " Even if he had to betray his own blood.
