A/N: Of course I couldn't not mention his relationship with Katherine at some point.
~ Little Pieces of Nothing ~
She said she didn't want to be saved.
She allowed herself to be recaptured after he freed her. She watched with cold, indifferent eyes as he died in the dirt.
He was reborn from her blood, and he molded himself into a monster in her image. Somewhere along the way, he forgot her betrayal as he turned all of his hatred toward his brother, who was still around for him to torment in turn.
Having forgotten that she didn't want to be saved, he made it his mission to find a way to unseal the tomb. Eventually, he succeeded, and-
She wasn't there. She was never there.
A hundred and fifty years worth of false hopes came crumbling down around him.
He did finally see her again, but she didn't want to play with the old broken toy she'd left in the dirt so long ago. He gave her the power to break his heart again, and she gleefully ground it beneath her heel as she told him it was his own fault for ever believing that she could have wanted to be with him.
