So anyway as you know if you read my other stories I like P.O.V's so I decided to have a crack at Elijah's mind. This is in the spin off intro episode of The Originals. The only scene with Katherine and Elijah interacting in the whole episode. Read it and weep. Or not...

I wanted to say something else to sway her decision with an extended hand but Rebekah already left through the door with a close. I leaned my head forward with a sigh. I truly wished she said consented for family. My head was so conflicted I didn't hear another presence behind me.
"She's right" I heard behind me. I turned around to find Katherine sighing, with arms folded, with her head turned to where Rebekah left to then turn back to join my sight.
I'm little surprised she managed to be around Rebekah at all. She looked at me with her deep brown eyes. I'm glad she was here.
"Be smart Elijah" Katherine urged me. "Klaus is stark raving mad, not to mention completely irredeemable. Leave him to set off on this new adventure. And let's you and I" she continued stepping closer to where I stood "Go out on ours. I have lost so much of my life to Klaus" she said looking deep in my eyes "so have you."
She tilted her head to the side while keeping my attention. I guess truly hoping to see if her words got through to me. I slightly nodded. She wasn't wrong. I have done so much in name of my brothers happiness. But he's still my brother. My only living brother. That hasn't been turned to dust and ash.
Katherine then laid her hands and caressed the tops of my shoulders.
"It's our turn. Elijah please" she begged with her eyes casted down.
I truly wish that this. This woman. That my Katerina is truly here with me. Reassuring me these things. But I can't help but feel those words of spite the changed Elena had said.
'Sweet peasant girl you fell in love with way back when is dead and she's not coming back' echoed Elena with such honesty and no remorse at the hurt it was bringing me to hear. The words were still lingering there in the back my mind.
I really wish I can ignore what she said but what if Katerina really does leave and break my heart again behind my back. I don't think I could take it.
This might hurt me much more then it will hurt you.
"Katerina" I murmured to myself. Lifting my head and looking into her eyes once more. Without a thought I held her cheek within my palm to bring her closer to me. She held onto that hand and passed it over my arm, welcoming me in. Allowing me to take in her beauty. Those perfect dark brown curly locks framing her angel like face. I almost wanted to kiss her lips but at last minute I changed my mind and settled by a sweet kiss on the forehead because one kiss from her and I will come undone.
I wanted this. Being near her, like this for so long, her looking at me like this, so tenderly with my name at her lips. I blinked twice just make sure it wasn't a dream. But my mind is made up, I have to do the right thing. I rested my forehead on hers and then whispered "Goodbye".
Leaving her warm embrace to be there for my brother. He needs me more.
Family. Always and forever.
Turning once again my back to my one and only love Katerina.
