"Better you die than I"

Katerina would have been disgusted by the very thought of saying such a thing, but yet she had said it not long ago to Elena. But she could always argue that she was Katherine, psychotic, heartless Katherine.

She could argue that Katerina had died at the sight of her slaughtered family. The raging guilt for it was her fault – she ran so he killed them – and the unbearable urge that had stayed for over eighty years to find her daughter; but the fear of Klaus discovering her and killing her…. She just couldn't. It was torture, the pain of everything just became too much. So she turned it off

And it stayed off for four hundred and twenty years. But keeping it off became so difficult when she saw Elijah again.

It had started as just being of mutual use to each other but as they got closer things changed, and it was 1472 again. She felt Katherine Pierce start to slip away and it terrified her. He wanted to find his Katerina and she wanted nothing more than to be her again.

But as she sped away from the cave and heard the unmistakeable crack of a neck breaking, panic shot through her and she fell back into her safe blanket. How could she possibly tell him of what she had done? He would never trust her again.

And his trust is what she craved for most in the world.
