Thanks again for the reviews, sorry for the delay in chapter, but sorry I was a bit busy. This plot line was head and head with another but I fond this one nicer and greater.
Also I will not be bring Caroline in, I was thinking about having Klaus as a nice-ish person. But no longer and I think Caroline grounds him and humanizes him, so no Caroline for you.
But I can tell you for certain there will be Matt and Rebekah for utter sureness. LOL go vote on my pole on my page please :)
Elijah watched his brother leave, his face emotionless and stony. The door that lead you from Katherine's bedroom slammed as Elijah listened and waited for the rapid thump of his angry half-hybrid-brother. The sound got quieter as Elijah knew he had gone out to feed and take his anger out on some poor innocent tourist.
He slowly walked to Katherine, trying not to frighten her. She truly looked broken. But she seemed to have calmed down.
"Let's get you cleaned up" Elijah softly whispered to her. She didn't meet his eye but nodded. She looked as if she had given up. She was resigned and empty. An empty y shell.
He took the thick royal red bathroom from the door and draped it over Katherine's shoulders; its soft, expensive cotton did not comfort her. He then headed over to the pearl white bath tub and removed the beaten bottles of shampoo and bath oils, Katherine had threw in her fit of rage.
The gentle gush of warm water swam into the bath tub filling the deafening silence in the room. Katherine sat against the end of the bath. Elijah slowly, each movement deliberate so she wouldn't see him as a threat, sat down beside her. The pearly outside of the bath refreshingly cool against his bare back.
They both sat there is silence, the filling of the bath was the only noise.
"I only have one regret in my whole life" Katherine whispered her voice hoarse and cracked
"Only one?" Elijah drawled softly not meaning to be cruel, just finding it hard for a vampire of her age to only have one regret.
"I feel guilt and pain for everyone I have killed and turned, I have ever since I have been turned human but...I would do it again, I wanted to live. Survival has to be taken it isn't given. But I only regret one thing" she said her voice thick and watery. Fresh tears spilled down her cheeks. Elijah's knuckles rubbed soothingly down her arm.
"What is this one regret?" he asks his voice kind and curious.
"Holding my girl. I should have tried harder to hold her, screamed more. As long as I've lived, I have carried that regret, I will carry it to my sooner-then-I-hoped grave" her voice made her sound lost. Made her sound like Katerina.
Elijah hooked an arm around her shoulder slowly drawing her to him.
"I am so sorry Kater-Katherine" he whispered catching himself.
"No that is my name. My birth name, I shouldn't hide from it anymore. I was Katherine, I was strong. I am no longer. You are right to call me Katerina" Katherine said her voice may have been watery but it never wavered.
Elijah didn't respond, he stood up and turned the tap off.
"You are not weak, you just no longer have the tools, Katerina" Elijah supplied softly. He let out a breath as Katherine unchanged, Katherine kept her eyes closed not wishing to see the bloodied rag. Elijah took it from the floor and left the room with it while she lowered herself into the bath.
Klaus' familiar heart beat could not be heard at all in the house. Elijah knew what he had to do.
When he returned to the dreaded bathroom Katherine was sat in the warm water that had eased her pain physically but not mentally.
"What do you think Klaus will do to me?"She asked.
"If I know my brother and unfortunately I do, he may allow you to try again, but..."
"Just say it 'Lijah, he is going to kill me" Katherine snapped. Elijah didn't respond.
"Do you...do you think he will make it a quick death?" She asked, not meeting Elijah's eyes, she had no chance at running now.
"He wouldn't make it a quick death, we both know that. But you are not going to die by Klaus' hands or commands"
Katherine let out a miserable snort.
"You are going to get out the bath get dressed, we are going to run Katherine. I am going to pick you over my brother" he said kissing her forehead, before getting up to get ready for their departure.
