Hey guys. So first of all, English isn´t my mother tongue, so please don´t be rude, if I made some mistake. Just write me and I will correct them. Thank you ;)
Well this fan fiction is about Katherine Pierce and Elijah Mikaelson from the Vampire Diaries. I love them both and I really love Kalijah!

So let me know what you think about the first chapter. If you liked it, I will go on writing!

Chapter 1 - The Meeting

Once more she was all alone. Taking care of herself.

No one who tells her how to behave. And of course no more running away and hiding from Klaus. The man who chased her for so many centuries.

Now that she's human again, thanks to the oh so lovely Elena Gilbert, her doppelganger, who of course can't be compared to her, yeah they look the same, well nearly, Katherine has a better taste of fashion than Elena and always knew how to be attracted to men, but she wasn't her. Not at all.

But anyway, after she was forced to take the cure, she left Mystic Falls as soon as it's possible for a human. She had to find a save place for her, before someone, especially Klaus, finds out that she became a human again.

Here in Paris she started a new life, a human life. She rent a small apartment and enjoys her life. No one would look for her here. Beside that here are so many people, living and visiting, that even if someone was looking for her, he wouldn´t find her easily.

'Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep , p...', Katherine pushes the Snooze button, 'uh shut the fuck up'. She looks at the clock and jumps out of bed. 'Damn it, it´s already 10.' She should've been back by now. Like every morning Katherine puts her sports clothes and her running shoes on and goes for a morning run, to stay in shape, what isn´t so easy anymore.

But now she couldn´t run her regular route to the Eifel Tower and back, because there would be so many annoying tourists, that it would take hours for her to even get there.

She puts her earphones in and leaves the house. Starting to run through some smaller streets in her neighborhood. It was a nice quiet part of the city, not far away from the Louvre, but without many tourists. Sometimes you see some lost ones, but as fast as they lost their way into this quarter, as fast they leave it again.

She runs through a small street, in America it would´t be called a street anymore, but here in Paris ...

Suddenly something hit her shoulder and she looses her balance. Everything happened so fast, that she first realizes when her knees touch the ground, and she feels the warm blood running down her legs.
'Pardon, mademoiselle. I didn't see ...'. She looks up and looks directly into the eyes of the man she knows way to good. 'Katerina? What are you doing here.' He helps her up and waits for an answer. 'What does it look like? I was out for a morning run, until you run into me, Elijah!' She couldn't stop wondering how he has found her here. She tried so damn hard to get rid of her route, so that no one could follow her. 'How did you find me here?' She ignores her hurting knees and tries to stand as strong and self confident, as Katherine Pierce did way back than when she was a vampire.
'Found you?' He gives her a confused look. 'Sorry to disappoint you, but I wasn't looking for you. After Elena told us, she killed you, I didn't accept to see you ever again.' A sad glance goes through his eyes, but as fast as it appeared as fast it also disappeared again.

Katherine doesn't know what to say. This Elena bitch told them, that she, a weak little girl, has killed her? Ridiculous! 'Seriously? And you believed her? I´m really disappointed. I thought you would know me better Elijah.' He gives her a little smile, this kind of smile, she felt in love with, the first time she saw him in 1492.

'Indeed, I didn´t believe her at the beginning, but after I watched out for you and couldn´t find you, I had to believe her. But I´m glad to see you alive. Tell me why you are on a run again? I thought you quit this part of your life?' He gives her a curious look. She´d love to trust him, like she did many years ago, but life taught her that now one can be trust, not even your beloved ones. She gives him her cute little smile 'Ah you know me. I´ve got bored and needed a change.´ Gosh Katherine, once you lied much better. And she sees that Elijah doesn´t believe her, but she doesn´t care. `Katerina, you are still

bleeding?´ She follows his eyes to her knees. That´s a thing she couldn´t deny. How should she explain this to him? He would tell Klaus everything. And she has to run again. She has no options. What should she do? ´Seems so, but I don´t know why do you care. It´s none of your business!´ He shakes his head. ´You are right. It´s none of my business, but it´s unusual for a vampire, to bleed for such a long time.' Damn it, he already knows it. I can see it in his eyes. ´Stop playing with me Elijah, what do you want from me?´ He gives her knees a short thoughtful look before his eyes fixes hers. ´How?´ Katherine gives him a questioning look! `Kathrine, don´t fool me. I can hear your heartbeat. You have scratches on your arm, your knees are still bleeding and`, his hand reaches to her cheek and touches her softly,´your skin is warm.´ She doesn´t move. His hand softly touches her face and it felt like hours for her when he touches her. Suddenly he takes his hand back. And her thoughts get clearer again. In the look in his eyes she can tell that he really didn´t know, but this doesn´t mean that she can trust him. `Well I´m human ag...`He interupts her . `Katherine, for gods sake. How?´His voice gets louder, and she could see the anger in his eyes. `The cure. Elena gave it to me, when we faught. When I woke up she was gone and I was human.' Sometimes his eyes told you more than a thousand words, but right now Katherine doesn´t get his glance. But she doesn´t know what to say. `You know what this means, don´t you?`What does Elijah think? She does know what this means, why else would she run away. `Sure, I´m not safe anymore. Like the first time we met! Klaus will hunt me again, to get my blood, because I´m the only human doppelganger again.' He gives her a thoughtful look. `You are right, but I didn´t mean that. Elena rescued you!`

`She did what? You are kidding me right?` He shakes his had. `She told us she killed you, so that you can start all over again. It would be so easy for her to tell us, especially

Klaus, that she gave you the cure, and she knows exactly what that have meant for you, but she didn´t. And after you passed out, she could´ve killed you , but she didn´t. `

This couldn´t be true. He tries to protect her action. `Seriously? She didn´t do it for me, she did it only for herself! Anyway, that doesn´t mean anything anymore. I´m dead as soon as you tell Klaus about our little chat. I guess I should go now and finish my unfinished business, before he visits me.`She turns away, when Elijah reaches out and helds her arm tightly. `And I think you should know me better, to know that I won´t call him. `What did Elijah just said. She turns slowly to him. `You won´t?` He shakes his head again and slowly touches her cheek softly with his hand. `My sweet Katerina. Why do you believe the worst in people. You need to learn how to trust others.`Now it was her turn to interject him. She moves a step back, so that his hands can´t touch her again. `I´ve trusted you and where did it led me? I was running from your family. I had to fear for my life. You are the reason I lost the faith in people.´ He moves a step forward. `Katerina, please don´t. I know that Klaus is a really impulsive person, but do you really think, I would´ve watch him hurting you? So please, let me help you. I swear to you I won´t tell him about our little meeting here.` She couldn´t believe her ears. Why should he help her? She,who cost him so much pain. `Why would you help me?´ Her eyes show her skepticism clearly. And she isn´t sure if she´s ready for what he´ll tell her. Once she loved him and she can´t deny that she has still feelings for him, but she doesn´t see any future for them both.

His faces changes, and his eyes get softer. `I hope that my beloved sweet Katerina is still inside you. Just hiding behind this Katherine facade. And maybe I´ll be able to get my Katerina back.`She couldn´t believe her ears once again. `You must be kidding. I am who I am, and nothing and no one will change me.` The softness leave his eyes. `Don´t be like that. Not to me. I know that this isn´t you and I...` She gets angry and her voice gets louder. `Leave me alone and don´t you dare getting in my way.`She turns around and starts running as fast as her feet are carrying her back home.

The whole way home, she accepted Elijah stopping her, but when she finally reached her door, she dares watching back and doesn´t see him. She opens the door and enters her apartment. After a while her pulse and nerves calm down and she gets a shower. She couldn´t stop thinking about Elijah and his words `get my Katerina back.´ Thinking about the way he said it, gives her still some creeps over her arms. What does he think. Their past is much to complicated to forget everything and start all over again.

After her shower she makes some phone calls, to get some business done.

The whole day she couldn´t stop thinking about Klaus coming for her and about Elijah.
