It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood on the clock tower, before jumping. She felt that she would never escape from time, so she figured that she would end it all. Besides, who would miss her? Elijah? He broke up with her. Klaus? Sure, he promised he would protect her, but how long before time finally killed her? Damon? Stefan? They hated her. Elena? Katherine had tried to kill her. Caroline? Katherine had turned her, which Caroline had never liked her for. Tyler? He hated her just as much as everyone else. Liz? She could care less about her. Rebecca? They never saw eye to eye. Jeremy? He had left her to die. Matt? He didn't care for her.
She expected to feel something hard like the sidewalk, but when she jumped, she didn't feel anything. So, wanting to know why, she opened her eyes to see that she was in Niklaus Mikaelson's arms.
Once he had set her on her feet, the silence broke between them.
"You know, you're making it difficult to keep you protected, Katerina."
"Well, I know you promised to protect me and all, but I will never out run time, no matter how much I want to, so why should I keep living? Why not just end this pain and suffering for good? I'm Katherine Pierce. I don't want to die in a bed of old age. I want to go out with a big bang," she replied to the Original werewolf-vampire hybrid.
Don't we all, he thought.
"Because your life means something; you have something to live for. You can't just kill yourself because of time, because then it will mean nothing. All those years of sacrifice to survive would not mean a thing if you ended your life."
"Why do you even care?"
"Because without you, I don't know what would happen to my brother. Besides, I am beginning to think that we are kindred spirits," he replied to the human.
She sighed and was silent, knowing he was right and that she was defeated.
"Why don't we get out of here, Katerina?"
"Where to?" she questioned him.
"How about a road trip to one of my favorite places in the world filled with music and culture?" he replied.
"New Orleans it is then," she said, before walking at his side. Maybe this wasn't too bad after all.
