"Do you trust me?" Katherine turns to Damon to ask this question. She sincerely wants to know if he will trust her. But should he trust her? Katherine knows she doesn't deserve any trust.
"No." Even though Damon is slowly falling for Katherine again, he absolutely does not trust her. She's as deceitful as he, and it would be reckless.
"Will you ever?" She hopes that one day he will be able too. Although she knows it isn't smart for him to do so.
"Do you trust me?" Damon asks, and Katherine knows her answer as well as he knew his.
"No." It's been five hundred years since she's done this: be honest. Katherine is free from Klaus, and in no danger anymore. She doesn't need Damon for anything other than companionship, and even though she's burnt this bridge many times before; could it be rebuilt?
It's been so long since they have been together again. After Katherine pretended to die in the tomb, Damon spent all those years loving her, and trying to save her. Then, when he found out she lied, he spent so many years trying to kill her. But how does he feel now?
For Damon, there's a mix of emotions running through his head. How can he believe her? He knows he shouldn't, and yet, a good part of him wants too. Katherine has always had that allure, even when he wanted to kill her; he couldn't.
Soon Damon is snapped from his thoughts by a bullet whizzing between their heads. Standing there in front of them, is Elijah.
"What are you doing here?" Elijah asks Damon. He came to kill Katherine, but not Damon. He loved her, and she lied to him. She deserved to die, and her life only caused others more strife. She was not worthy of redemption. No more chances.
"I could ask you the same question." Damon knows they have no way of killing Elijah, while he seems to have 12 sitting inside his gun.
Seeing Damon and Katherine together hurts Elijah in a way he didn't think it would. He had given up on Katherine, and still it offended him to see her with someone else. He had thought her incapable of truly loving someone else, but it seemed she had managed to do so, and with someone other than himself.
"She will only bring you pain. Let her die, I will spare your life." Elijah knows Damon has wanted to kill Katherine before, although now, given the chance, he seems hesitant. "It's not worth your time, just give her to me." Elijah tells Damon these things, and Damon knows its true. As long as Katherine is alive, others will suffer. Elijah continues, "Think of what she did to you, to Stefan, to Elena." He has struck a chord with Damon. The wound is still open and recent. Soon, he is being reminded of all the pain she brought to his life. She created a wedge between him and his brother, as well as terrorized the love of his life. "She is incapable of love." Elijah is so close to killing Katherine once and for all, now the only one standing in his way is Damon.
"That's not true!" Katherine screams at Elijah. After staying silent for all this time Elijah has been insulting her, her anger has boiled over. "I loved you! I did." Tears are welling up behind her eyes, as she thinks of the love she lost. Elijah is stunned silent, he is still intent on killing her, but has been stayed for the moment. "But I love myself more." With that, she is gone.
