Katherine looked at him and didn't know what to say. "I…" she hesitated, but then she nodded slightly "Yes…" she said
Elijah looked up at her and stood up slowly. He knew that she didn't expected it, but he had to ask her before it was too late. While standing up he put the ring on her finger carefully.
She looked at him "But…what are you going to do now?" she asked. She was sure that he would go back to his siblings, to protect them, but she couldn't come with him. Klaus and Rebekah – they both hated her and would kill her when there would be a chance for it.
"I will stay with you. We will leave this town tonight. We won't tell anyone…just leave" he said and looked at her. "You and me. So will you come with me ?"
She looked at him. The last moments made it almost impossible to hold back the humanity and the feelings inside her "I just told you that I will marry you – of course I'm coming with you. But what about your family ? There will be consequences if they find out"
"Don't worry. We will hide as long as they try to find us…and at the moment my siblings are distracted by our father" he explained "Well , now go and take your stuff…we will meet here at 8 o'clock again. I hope you will be there"
Katherine nodded slightly "Goodbye..see you later" she said, then turned and left. She still couldn't believe what just happened. What he did. She couldn't even believe that she just agreed to marry him. She wondered about herself. Everytime he was around she seemed to behave different. When he was there she just forgot about her problems and about things that hurt her. Everything she could think about was him. She loved him more than anything, even though it was three years ago that she had been with him.
Elijah walked back to the place where his siblings used to stay. As he arrived he noticed that they weren't at home. For sure they were on a hunt to feed on some humans, but he didn't really care. He needed to take some things before going back to meet Katherine. She would marry him. The girl he loved for centuries would become his wife. He couldn't believe it. While thinking about it a small smile appeared on his lips. After taking some stuff he went out of the house and looked around to make sure that Rebekah or Klaus weren't close. He was glad that nobody was at home, because it would have been difficult to explain where he was about to go. Elijah walked back into the town to the place where he wanted to meet Katerina. It was almost 8 but she wasn't there yet.
Ten minutes too late Katherine arrived "I'm sorry…but your father was around and I had to hide for a short while before I could leave" she said and looked at him. Even though she was too late, she couldn't help but smile as she saw him. He gave up his family for her. She knew that Elijah always wanted his family to be back together and now he gave up everything just to be with her. Nobody ever did something like this for her before.
Elijah nodded "Of course. I understand." He said then smiled "Well come one , we should better leave before my father finds us here" he said and took her hand before leaving with her.
They weren't sure where to go , but they decided to walk through the woods because nobody would expect them to be there. It was less dangerous than walking along the streets and they prefered to be alone to talk about what happened.
3 months later they had a new home and a new life. Everything seemed to become perfect just as they wanted it to be. They were together, so they had something like a new family. In a few days they would be married…nobody would be able to separate them anymore…everything would be fine….
