It was early in the morning when Elijah woke up. At first he couldn't remember what happened and where he was, but as he saw the sleeping beauty, lying right next to him in the bed he remembered what happened. Even though he was happy to see that she was there with him, there were also worries on his mind. He knew that she was bitten by that werewolf and of course Klaus wouldn't help her. While she was still sleeping he slightly moved away the blanket which covered her, to take a look at her wound. He took a deep breath as he saw that it had become even worse and he needed to do something. He stood up and put on his clothes. He took a piece of paper and wrote "I will be back soon. Please don't leave this house" on it before placing it next to her in the bed. He softly kissed her forehead then left the house to find Klaus.
Katherine woke up almost one hour later. She wanted to get up as she felt her wound hurt much more than it did the day before. Finally she got to stand, even if it wasn't easy. The bite was becoming bigger, which meant that she was about to die and her time was almost gone. She looked around for Elijah as she saw the note. She picked it up and read it, hoping he would return soon. She knew that werewolf bites would make her have hallucinations and honestly she didn't want to be alone when it began. Katerina put on her clothing as she looked into a mirror not far from her. She was weak. Her skin was pale and her eyes seemed to have a slight red color. How long would it take until she would die? How much time did she have left?
A little later Elijah walked along the streets of the town. He was sure that his brother was trying to find him, but he didn't care. Everything he wanted was Niklaus blood to heal Katerina. In return he would give his brother something he had found in Katherine's jacket. He was sure that she didn't know about him taking it, but it was the best for her. Just as he expected it didn't take long until Klaus stood right in front of him.
"Brother you still dare to come to this town, after betraying me and taking the girl with you?" Niklaus asked.
"I'm not here to have a dispute with you Niklaus. I'm here to make a deal with you. Since Silas will torture you and you need the cure, I've got something from Katerina you might be very interested in. But of course I want something in return and I would agree if you'd give me some of your blood."
" The cure?" he asked and seemed interested "Give it to me and I'll give you a little blood"
"I'm not a fool. At first give me blood then you will have what you need. You have my word" he replied.
Klaus wanted their deal to take a little longer, hoping that Katerina would die while Elijah wasn't there. "Fine." He said and took a small bottle while biting his arm. Slowly the blood dropped into the bottle. "Show me the cure!"
Elijah moved his hand into his pocket and took out the cure, holding it carefully. "Here it is" he said. "Now give me the blood !" he told him, because he knew that it wouldn't take long until the woman he loved was dead.
While Elijah was trying to get Klaus' blood for Katherine she was still in the house. She walked back to the bed slowly. Every second she felt worse, so she laid down on the bed and covered herself with a blanket. She looked at her watch, hoping that Elijah would return soon. She closed her eyes for a moment as she suddenly had to cough. It was impossible for her to stop coughing. As she opened her eyes again she could taste her own blood and felt that she was afraid. She didn't want to die, but now she wasn't even able to fight death. While thinking about that she felt her head hurting and she could feel a strong kind of pain. She was trembling, crying and screaming in pain. She never suffered that way before. Tears were flowing down her cheeks as she quietly begging for death. For redemption from all of this.
