Elijah walked back to his brother and looked at him "So, I see that what you said was the truth. Love is a vampire's greatest weakness. I should always remember that"

Klaus nodded "You will get through it. I can't understand what it is about that makes you love her that way. Of course she is beautiful, but other girls are more beautiful and not that selfish. She will never love anyone but herself." He said and shrugged.

Elijah looked at him "So now there are just the two of us left ? Where is our lovely sister?" he asked

"Rebekah is still in Mystic Falls. I suppose she likes that town, I couldn't convince her to come with me, but im sure she will miss us soon and follow us"

"That might be possible. So what are we going to do now ?" he asked.

Klaus shrugged "I don't know. I think I will go to New Orleans. Will you come with me ?"

Elijah nodded "Yes but not yet. I've got to do something before. We'll meet there in a few days"

"Fine. See you brother" Klaus said and left .

Elijah wanted to stay there a little longer. He couldn't just leave. Even though he talked to Katerina on phone he wanted her to look into his eyes and tell him that she didn't care. He shook his head. Why did he still believe in her. She was a liar and she prove it again. He sighed . Elijah still remembered when he saw her for the first time. An innocent human girl who was alone and didn't know much about the world.

Katherine was walking around in the woods. She was afraid. Not of Klaus. Not of Elijah. She was afraid of what could happen to Elijah if she didn't keep on walking. One hour later she stopped to rest for a while. She was tired and she had no idea where she was – also no idea where to go. The wound on her leg was almost gone and it didn't hurt anymore, but somehow she would prefer if she would have died because of it. Because she wouldn't have had to hurt Elijah and break her own heart. He wouldn't trust her anymore , even if someone would tell him the truth , he would always have doubts in her. Even though, she stood up and continued on walking as she reached an old house in the middle of the woods. It seemed like nobody had been there for centuries, but she decided to go inside anyway. It was late and she still needed a place to sleep. From the outside the house seemed old, but inside there was still furniture inside it . Of course everything was old, but good enough to stay there for a while. A little later she sat down and leaned back closing her eyes. She was tired , so it took just a few minutes until she fell asleep.

Elijah wasn't sure if he should try to find the woman he still loved, but he couldn't let her go without seeing her once again. He hesitated for a moment, but followed her scent a little later. He could smell in the air that she was far away, so he began to run in vampire speed , to find her before she was too far away. He knew that she always used to run from everything, but usually she just moved to another town , but she never ran into the woods without a reason. Everything seemed strange and he couldn't imagine what could have been a reason for her to behave this way. Anyway. 2 hours later he reached the house in the woods. He could smell Katerina scent inside, but he couldn't see any light. He went in slowly and looked around as she noticed her sleeping on the couch. The moonlight made her look even more beautiful as he went a few steps further and whispered "Katerina…wake up"

It took a short while until Katherine woke up, but she was too tired to see the different between her dreams and reality. She stood up slowly and looked up at him "Elijah…" she didn't know what to say.

"Is it true? What you told me. Do you really don't care for me ?" he asked and looked directly into her eyes , to make sure that she had to do the same.

Katherine looked up into his eyes . Could she lie to him, now that he stood right in front of her ? They were alone. Klaus wouldn't notice it "I…i…no I don't care.." she whispered , but as she turned away , the moonlight made it possible for him to see that she had tears in her eyes.

He stepped a little closer and pulled her in his arms softly "What is wrong with you Katerina ? Tell me what happened to you "

She looked down, leaning against his body slightly , "Nothing happened…but we can't stay together. You have to leave" she said as a single tear was flowing down her cheek.

Elijah let go of her and looked at her. He had never seen her that sad and it was terrible not to be able to help her "I will leave tomorrow" he said "Go back to sleep now"

Katherine nodded and sat down in the couch again. Even though everything she could think of was the man she loved , she fell asleep fast. She was tired because they last few day had been really exhausting. After falling asleep it didn't take long until she had nightmares like always. She was trembling while sleeping and whispered words of fear and of pain.

Elijah still stood in the room and watched her. Of course he knew that she didn't wanted him to be too close, but she couldn't just watch her suffer even in sleep. He sat down next to her and pulled her closer. He watched Katerina as she rested her head on his chest. Carefully he covered her with a blanket and watched her.

Katherine could feel him being close. The moment that she felt his arm around her , her nightmares disappeared and she could sleep more calm. She felt him kissing her softly, but she was sleeping to deep to return it.

Elijah noticed that she felt better with him around her. He held his arms around her and stroked along her body softly, while falling asleep together with her.

Katherine woke up and looked around for Elijah. The sun was shining into the room and it seemed to be around 9 o'clock the next day. He was gone. But had he really been there or was it just a dream. She didn't even know,but even if he had been there he was gone now .

Early in the morning Elijah had left the house . Katerina had asked him to leave when he came there in the night. He still didn't know why she didn't wanted to be with him because she seemed to be happy when she saw him. He sighed. Anyway he had to respect her wish , he shouldn't stay around her ...
