Kalijah is my new weakness, they are just amazing together. Three reasons to love them: 1. He couldn't take his eyes off of her when he was down at the tomb. 2. When Katerina was all doubtful with her relationship with Klaus, Elijah looked so hopeful. 3. When Elena pulled the dagger out of him, he immediately thought of Katherine.

Anyhu, on with the story.

Dear Mama,

I dearly hope this letter lands into your hands as I have doubts of Papa wanting any correspondence between me and the rest of the family. I hope you and the family are in good health, I have settled into my new life in England quite nicely, the local folk are extremely welcoming and considerate. With this all said and done, I do write bearing important news.

There is to be a union between myself and a Lord Niklaus. He is a charming man indeed; he has made sure that I am comfortable in his home and I couldn't be happier with my accommodations. Though mama, I do have my doubts; he does not seem to care for me at all. I know I would have been foolish as to decline his offer, but I do not love him mama. I know not if I will be happy with him. I fear I was too hasty on accepting him. Do not worry mama; I have not kept these feelings to myself.

Lord Niklaus' brother, Lord Elijah is a very agreeable man, his company is one I enjoy greatly and he certainly goes out of his way to keep me entertained. I feel like I can tell him anything; on one of our frequent trips to the gardens, I relayed these doubts to him and he was so sympathetic, and the way he looked at me then had my heart all in a flutter. Oh mama, I fear I am promised to the wrong brother. It is Elijah who brings a smile to my face when I see him enter the room; it is Elijah that I enjoy to read with every evening; it is Elijah who makes me feel truly cared for. Mama, it is Lord Elijah who I wish to be joined.

Before you fear that I have been so bold as to say this to him, I have not; I doubt I would have the courage to be so brass. All I know is that every time I see him, something inside me lightens and I cannot stop my smile, and I know he notices.

Once he did confess to me that he does not believe in love, but is he at the very least cares, should I risk the chance of losing Lord Niklaus? Of the two lords, I would rather be joined to Lord Elijah. Oh mama, I must speak boldly, I think I love him.

I know what you are thinking; Katerina Petrova, the most foolish girl who blindly falls into love, but mama, this time is different, Lord Elijah is different. He has begun to fill the whole in my heart that has tortured me since father took my daughter away from me. I never thought happiness would enter me again but it has, Lord Elijah has seen to that.

I fear he may never ask for my hand in loyalty to his brother, but I hope more than I have ever hoped that maybe he may. Would life grant me such happiness? Oh Mama, how I miss you and your reassurances, I beg you to respond to this letter. I need your guidance, I need your wisdom, and oh how I wish I was in Bulgaria as to be comforted by you.

Your daughter,

Katerina.

Katherine placed the letter back in its place in her drawer. She remembers all too well how she found her letter in her mother's possession; it must have only just arrived when Klaus paid his visit. The words written by a foolish human, who let her feelings guide her. But she could not deny that, even after five centuries, her feelings for a certain lord were unchanged. The memories flooded into her head, the childlike happiness, the innocence, the ignorance, the love. All because of one man. Elijah.

But unlike her human self, Katherine kept these feelings locked away in a room with no key; she believed he never cared and after her betrayal, if it wasn't for Klaus' ambition to find and submit her to a long and torturous death, Elijah would have most definitely killed her when they saw each other again in the tomb.

Little did she know that Elijah was standing by his window thinking of the same memories, the same feelings. But neither would say anything in the belief of the others indifference.

A/N This was rushed, but I hope you like it, I may continue this but right now it's standing as a oneshot.
