„May you tell me what my father told you ?" he asked

Katerina shook her head slightly "No…you shouldn't know about it"

Elijah sighed "So at least tell me why you turned off your humanity again"

She looked at him "Humanity ? For what ? To be left alone again. I've noticed that I made a good decision when I turned off my feelings centuries ago. I never had to feel and I never had to get hurt. I prefer that way of living. So better go back to your siblings, they might need you more than I do Elijah" after ending her sentence she finished the drink and stood up to leave.

Elijah grabbed her by her arm tight so she wouldn't have the strength to walk further "Tell me what he wanted "

"He just asked me to do something for him. But don't worry I won't. Now let go of me !". It was true. Every time she saw him, her humanity tried to fight its way back into her life, but this time she didn't feel hurt. She was just too disappointed of him, which made her react that way.

Of course Elijah noticed that she was mad at him, but as long as she tried to hold back her humanity there was no sense in trying to talk to her. Even though he didn't let go of her "What consequences was he talking about ?" Elijah asked.

"Don't worry. It's nothing you should care about" , Katherine said and looked at him still without emotions "He just said that he would kill me…but it isn't that important". The vampire pulled her arm back and left the pub without turning back.

Elijah watched her as she left . It was unbelievable how much she changed since she turned off her humanity again. Now it seemed like she didn't care for anything , but he knew that it wasn't true. Deep inside she was different.

He stood up and followed her without hesitating "Wait Katherine!" he said loudly

As Katherine heard his voice behind her she turned back to him slowly "What do you want ?" she asked

"You will not let Mikael kill you !"

"That it nothing you should care about Elijah. He will kill me if I don't convince you to tell me where Klaus and Rebekah are hiding. And since I wont do that – it means that I will die " she said "Don't pretend to care for what I do."

"But I do care. And you would know that if you would turn on your feelings"

"Do you really think that I would turn them back on ? " she just laughed and shook her head

Elijah nodded "Yes I think so. You will turn them on because you miss being In love. You miss it too feel and you want to feel again. That's why you will turn them on again"

"I won't , everything I feel is pain. You was the reason for my decision not to feel anymore, and Im glad that it did it. You left me alone ! You hurt me more than anyone ever did !" she said "Go back to your family "

Elijah went towards her , grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, standing really close to her. He looked down into her eyes "Katerina , leaving you alone didn't meant that I don't love you. I still love you , just like it did 500 years ago" he said, still holding her close "Do you even know what you mean to me , how important you are ?"

She looked at him and hesitated. At first she didn't know what to say, but then she whispered "If you would love me….you wouldn't hurt me that bad. You would stay with me , no matter what…you would be there for me. You do not love me"

Elijah took a deep breath. He didn't expect to meet her that day, so he didn't really know what to do. But being that close made him think about the time they spent together and suddenly he felt that he couldn't lose her again " Katerina…I will stay with you and protect you. I will be there for you to prove that I love you…" he said and seemed to be really afraid of losing the one he loved forever. "I know that it might be too late…but…please turn your humanity back on" for a moment he hesitated .He wasn't sure if he made the right decision, but now he realized that he didn't want to be without her again. He knelt down and pulled out a ring he had bought for her years ago. Elijah looked up at her and said :"Katerina Petrova…everyday…for more than 500 years I thought of you and loved you.I don't want to live without you anymore…would you marry me ?"
