I'm sorry for taking so long, again :)
I'm really excited for the Kalijah happening on the show now, I mean my OTP! Oh yeah, not really together atm, but I believe they will be! (:
I'm not super proud of this but hope you like it anyways :)
I was more than nervous when the actual day was upon us. Katerina had been quiet after our meeting the day before. So when the people started to come, I was having hard time to stay calm. I saw the scene when Klaus had his first talk with Caroline, I knew Caroline was trying to hide it, but I could tell she did like Klaus. My brother saw it too but it was harder to get her to admit it. And she did have a boyfriend. This kid called Tyler.
Stefan was here before Elena. That made Rebekah happy and I saw them talking, I didn't listen to then too much. I just wanted to know if Elena was coming soon after Stefan. They didn't talk about it. Frankly I got a little too much information about my sister's sex life.
Finn was being shady about his date for the night. I had a feeling that it was Sage. I had seen him going to the spots where he used to meet Sage. Soon I even saw a woman come to him. She was disguised so I couldn't tell if it was Sage or not. Then there was Kol, he was talking to Bonnie and Bonnie seemed to enjoy the attention. I'm not even sure if she knows who Kol is. I hoped he would behave.
I was still waiting for Elena to show up, because Katerina said she would come after Elena. I spotted Damon staring at the door. I also turned at the door and saw Elena smiling at me. Oh no, it was not Elena. It was Katerina. I moved to her faster than Damon could. He looked worried. "I am sorry. May I speak to you for a moment?", I said to "Elena" and was trying to hear if the real Elena was coming. She nodded and didn't say anything.
I moved with Katerina to outside of the mansion and saw Elena coming towards us. "This is bad. ", I said to Katerina. I moved fast to Elena. Katerina went hiding, but she was watching me.
"Good evening, Elena.", I said and she smiled. "Elijah.", her voice was happy and I could feel Katerina's eyes on me. I was glad Elena didn't see her so I took a deep breathe. I lifted my hand and put it on Elena's neck and her heart was beating faster. "Umm.. Elijah, what are you doing?", her voice was sort of soft as she lifted her hand to mine.
"Nothing.", I said and then took off her necklace and pulled her closer to me. "You came here and you talked with me about your meeting with my mother. You saw Damon and came outside with me.", I said quietly looking into her eyes. She repeated after me and I smiled with relief. I put her necklace back on and she came back to her senses. "What do you want me to do?", she asked and put her hand to mine. I got confused. "Just enjoy your evening.", I said and lifted her hand so I could kiss the palm of her hand.
"Of course I will, Elijah.", this wasn't normal, she wasn't acting like Elena. She was acting like.. Katerina? No, not really like her either. I turned my head to the direction where I knew Katerina was and then turned again to face Elena. "I've missed you, Elijah.", she said and I was getting even more confused. "Elena, what are you talking about?", I asked slowly and then our lips met each other and she kissed me. WHAT?
What did just happen? Elena Gilbert kissed MY Elijah! And the worst part was that Elijah didn't push her away, he was enjoying it and I felt tears in my eyes. I felt physical pain in my chest when I saw them getting closer and closer. Elena's hand was in Elijah's hair and I turned away.
"Katherine?", I heard a voice near me, it sounded like my voice did. So I looked up and saw a third doppelgänger. What the hell was going on? "Elena?", I said quietly, looking at the girl, it was like I was looking in the mirror, almost.
I pulled away from Elena, just to see another Elena with my Katerina. That was Elena, the real one. Then who was the woman I had just kissed. I turned back at the doppelgänger or whatever she was. "You're not Elena.", I said, she smiled. "Or Katerina.", she looked at me, there were something familiar in her eyes. Not in the color of them, I couldn't put my finger on it, but there was something. "No, I'm not neither one of them. You know who I am, Elijah.", I stepped away from her and Elena walked to me, leaving Katerina standing there. I looked at her, it was clear she was Elena. Then I looked at the woman who was certain I knew her.
I tried to think, who was she? There were only one other doppelgänger before Elena and Katerina and that was… It wasn't possible, was it? "Tatia?", I said slowly, not sure if it was right to speak her name. "Yes, my dear, Elijah. It's me.", she put her hands around me and I felt her body against mine. It felt good, but I forced myself to move away from her.
"Let's make the circle whole.", I heard hurt in Katerina's voice when she stepped beside me. I never meant to hurt her, I loved her! "Katerina..", I started and looked at her, looking exactly like the other two women. "I am sorry, I..", what was I going to say? I thought it was you? That was not going to help me now.
"You know, this is not a good idea to stand here where everyone can see us.", that was Elena, she nodded to the three of us to move to the other side of the mansion, so no one could see three Elena's, as the people in this town would think of the sight. Unless we were talking about my family or the Salvatore's gang.
"So you are Tatia and you're Katherine?", Elena said and they both shook their heads. "Wrong. I'm Tatia.", she said to Elena and opened her hair. "Does this help?", she smiled and then looked at me. "You're in some kind of trouble.", Elena whispered to me, even though all of them heard her. "I sure am.", I said and I could not think of Klaus. Both Tatia and Katerina were not on the right side of him. And even Elena, she was just a blood bag to him.
"You do know Klaus is here.", I said to Tatia and she nodded. "Do you know Klaus is here?", Elena looked at Katerina, there was tension between them too, most likely because of Stefan Salvatore. "Yes, I do know he is here. And he'll kill me if he finds out that I'm here, but..", she turned her head to me.
Tatia looked both of us when I smiled to Katerina. "I knew he'd be here too, but I came for you, Elijah. Even if that meant I would get killed by Klaus. I had to come. I miss you", Tatia smiled at me, and I was suddenly getting really tired, this was so overwhelming, so I had to sit down, this was starting to mess with my head, big time!
"At least you're not here because of me.", I said to Elena who kind of blushed when I said it. "Well you are the reason I decided to come here. Not so much about your mother wanting to see me. But I wanted to talk to you about it first. I don't want you to think that I would betray you. I wouldn't do that, Elijah."
"I could give you some tips for running from an Original.", Katerina said, bitterly. "Okay, stop it!", I moved to Katerina, took her hand. "Don't you dare think that I'd stop loving you, I couldn't do that even if I wanted to and I most certainly don't want to!", I pressed her hand against my chest. "I may have loved Tatia in the past and I'm deeply sorry that I did not push her away. But the love I had for her was not real, It was an illusion. I loved the thought of love. Not until you came along I felt the real thing. You are the only one I love. Always and forever, my dear Katerina", I looked her in the eyes and smiled. I meant every word. I didn't want to lose her.
Tatia looked at Elena like she'd know how much that hurt. Elena shook her head. Elena did not know how it felt not to be the first choice. Tatia should ask Damon, he did know how it felt.
"Will you forgive me, Katerina?", I looked her deeply in the eyes, not trying to compel her, just wanting her to answer me. She did not move her eyes from mine. There was a long silence, only sound was Elena's beating heart.
"I forgive you, Elijah!", Katerina finally said put her arms around me, crushing me a little, but I didn't care. I was an original vampire; she couldn't crush me completely since I was stronger than her. Elena coughed, a little. I don't know if she felt uncomfortable or maybe she was she happy that Katerina wasn't after her man anymore.
Katerina had told me about her and Stefan, about how she tried to convince him that she loved him. She also told me that she did not love him, not anymore. She had loved him back in 1864. But even though she had loved Stefan, she never stopped loving me. Katerina tried to get Stefan to help her, so she lied, a lot. It was a long run so we did get where we were today. But I too, never stopped loving her.
