Katherine stood in front of the mirror. She was wearing a white dress and just a little make-up. She looked just beautiful. When she was a little girl she always imagined how the day of her marriage would be. Now it was completely different. There were no guest , only she and him – but that was okay , as long as he was with her Katerina was just happy. She couldn't remember a day when she was that happy before and it was true – maybe the wedding day was the happiest day in a womans life.
Elijah was standing right in front of Katerinas room waiting for his fiancée to go with him to the little church where they wanted to marry. Of course without family , because Klaus or Rebekah – they would never accept someone like Katherine as a part of their family. A few minutes later Katherine was done and walked out of the room slowly. As Elijah saw her he didn't know what to say "You're so beautiful" he said and walked a few steps closer towards her , kissing her deeply "I love you so much" he added.
Katherine smiled and returned his kiss with passion "I love you even more" she said "Come one , we should go. I don't want to miss my own wedding" she said
Elijah smiled and nodded taking her hand while walking with her along the street to the church "I don't wanna miss it too. Well at least I don't want my bride to wait for me too long" he told her.
A few minutes later they arrived at the church where the priest was already waiting. He was compelled not to wonder about their marriage without guest , so he just smiled friendly as he saw them entering the church. Katerina and Elijah stepped further until they stood in front of the priest , who began to talk even though they both didn't care for it. They were too distracted by each other but then the priest asked if Katerina wanted to become his wife. She didn't hesitated , she just said "Yes I want to". She was still holding Elijahs hand as the priest asked him if he wanted to be her husband.
Suddenly the door opened and they both turned around. Klaus. "You !" Klaus shouted angry and looked at his brother "You left your family for this slut !". The hybrid walked further until he stood right in front of Elijah "Someone like you doesn't deserve to live !" he said and without hesitating he stabbed the white oak stake into his brothers heart. With this last words Klaus left.
Elijah fell down to the ground , while his skin turned grey. Katerina knelt down next to him , holding his hand tight "Please….dont die…please " she was crying . She cried like she never did before , but it was too late – he was dead. Katerina wanted to pull out the stake , hoping it would help him but suddenly he began to burn…his body…everything was burning. Even though she was still crying she let go of him. She had to watch him die ? She couldn't….no…she couldn't live without him. She didn't know what to do , but then she just took of the bracelet with protected her from the sun. The sun which was shining through the windows into the church made her skin burn and she just placed her head on Elijahs chest. Even though she was screaming in pain she couldn't stop crying. It took a few minutes until she died too. They were gone , but at least they died together.
Katerina woke up. She didn't know where she was, but everything felt better. It seemed like all her problems and fears were gone. "Finally you're here too" a voice said. She looked up .Elijah. She stood up fast and kissed him. A kiss full of passion , love and happiness to see him again "I thought we are dead ?" she asked then
"We are…we are ghosts" he answered
For a moment Katerina was shocked but then she was sure that this was better than living in fear forever "I love you" she whispered
"I love you too" he just answered and pulled her in his arms.
Maybe that wasn't the life they always wanted , but there were no problems anymore. They could be together forever, without having to fear anything or anyone.
