AN - Hey guys, so I know this is really short but I wanted to give you something while I worked on the current day plot. I'm having a lot of fun writing this AU and I hope you are enjoying it, although not much has happened yet. Reviews are always wanted, and just let me know if anyone seems too OOC because I know how that can ruin a fic. As always, I don't own any of the characters from The Vampire Diaries. Hope you enjoy this little teaser!
August 20th 1864:
"I want to be with you forever." Katherine whispered to Elijah who lay next to her in the bed. "Turn me."
Elijah rolled over to face her and propped his head up. "You don't understand what you are asking for, Katherine. Eternity. It's not something to be taken lightly. It's a curse."
"I don't want to be just a human anymore. Humans are weak. They don't know what power is. But you do." She brushed a stray hair away from his face. "I can see the power you have, the things you know, the things you have seen. That's what I want."
Elijah sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed, standing up. "No, Katherine." He looked back at her, imploring her to understand. "It has been torture. The pain I have had to endure. The heartbreak. And my brother would never allow it. He . . . he is selfish. For me to turn you . . He would see that as a betrayal." He finished his speech and turned to pull on his pants and shirt. "I won't do it Katherine. I won't give this curse to anyone, especially you." This was final.
