"You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not."

- Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

Elijah Mikealson was noted as the most modest and honourable of all Originals. His flaw though was love... worst than Klaus himself when it came to Caroline. See if it's one thing Klaus had accomplished unlike Elijah it was to never fool himself into loving a Petrova ever again especially learning how Tatia toyed with the once close brothers during their human stage.

Maybe that's what made Elijah not as feared compared to Klaus... he was more tolerable, patient, and if he felt like it towards his colleagues understanding. While Klaus view next droppleganger Katerina Petrova or later know as Katherine Pierce as the formula to break his curse.

Elijah saw his once beloved more than a object for his brother... she was an innocent human with emotions and dreams clueless of the dangers of the supernatural whose life would soon fall apart and change her into someone else.

Perhaps Elijah was a fool for falling in love all over again to the Tatia-look-alike... or more of a fool for being a coward and throwing the opportunity to someday start a future with them. A future where Katerina wouldn't any longer have to run in fear of Klaus and Elijah feeling the deep rooted pain in wanting her presence near again.

That would have been the case then 500 years later when the next droppleganger Elena Gilbert came around. Klaus broke his curse and his attention was drawn on using the blood of Elena to create his so-called hybrid army he'd use in replacing the family he'd grown up with.

"Be smart Elijah. Klaus is stark raving mad, not to mention completely irredeemable. Leave him to set off on this new adventure. And let's you and I go out on ours. I have lost so much of my life to Klaus. SO have you. It's our turn. Please Elijah..."

It could have happen right at the moment which was within the tip of their fingers... all Elijah had to do was say the word and it was sealed. Sometimes it's better to set aside "family first" especially if there is less to no progress and take advantage on "true love" while the time is right.

Time... what a foolish contemplation. Elijah would've think time was now expandable for decades to come until it's end. Katernia and him roamed the earth as immortals... they could meet up and rekindle again if the time was right.

But no... call it fate or destiny but either or were wicked indeed.

"Wait you do know what happened to Katherine right?" Caroline questioned while Elijah and her enjoyed some small talk. Specifically on Elijah's interest on wanting to acquaintance himself with the young hard-headed blonde vampire who backfired his younger brother's belief of "love as a vampire's weakness".

Unknown to Caroline she was recalling the event when Katherine's days would be numbered.

"What do you mean by that Miss. Forbes, what happened to Katerina?" Elijah had asked as he set his cup of tea down on the dinning table. It was early in the morning before the sun was ready to rise. Caroline set her tea down, biting her lower lip as she observed to clueless look on Elijah's face.

"You have no idea do you... Klaus nor Rebekah told you the reason they were stopping by Mystic Falls?" Elijah sat there in silence as his eyebrows furrowed... as an uncomfortable feeling set in ready to burst.

Caroline gave Elijah a small sad smile as she shifted her eyes away. "Elijah... Katherine's been death for almost a year and a half now. The cure ended up speeding her age and well... she kicked the bucket."

Once Elijah finally heard of Katerina's demise it was as if everything Elijah held upfront shattered. Time seemed to stop and suddenly Elijah was re encountering past precious memories of his time with her starting from 1492 to the last time he saw her in 2012.

After that news Elijah had kept himself occupied when it came to any family business personal or public that needing dealing with in Orleans never failing in exposing the agony behind his mask.

His relationship with the late hybrid Hayley Marshall didn't work out in the end. It had drastically fallen apart as it had built up. Thought to his credit Elijah had moved on with someone that wasn't a reminder of a brunette curly beauty droppleganger.

Yet his Katerina was more than a pretty face and droppleganger. She was a warrior and survivor who was in no way a damsel in distress and could take on any "shit" than come her way.

Now she was gone for good... either damned in hell or forgive enough to pass her through heaven. At times like these Elijah let his mask crumple in solitude late in night crying out to his once beloved of their cursed love all because of his foolishness in not fighting hard enough to make it a reality and now he'd have to pay that price for the rest of his eternity.

Elijah and Katerina. They were perfect for one another in their own way but too good to be true.

Okay this was pretty sad and heart wrenching for Elijah! I totally like butchered him up and tossed him in the abyss! Though I have to say this was a pretty good drabble for Kilijah fans and well anyone who appreciates this! So does this past as angst love? So darling chhavi I hope you enjoy this!
