Hey there, I'm back with a new chapter once again... And please note, that I have changed some things in the chapters 2 to 4. They're only little changes but the consequences are pretty important! So I suggest you to reread at least Elijah's part of chapter 2 & 4 and Katerina's of chapter 3. (If you started when Hayley didn't gave Elijah the ticket in chapter 2 you can skip rereading and proceed directly...)

Chapter 5 - Katerina
The first thing I knew was I was not dead. At least I couldn't believe in death I would feel someone softly stroking my hair and Elijah pleading me not to leave him. With large effort I opened my eyes. When they adjusted to the candle light I looked up into Elijah's beautiful face. A small smile of relief illuminated it as he realized I wasn't dead. I sat up and looked around trying to figure out where I was, but failing. So I asked the Original next to me. "Currently you're on my bed. Now that you're awake I would appreciate if you could drink this." He said, handing me a bowl with something that looked pretty much like a combination of herbal tea and soup. I took a few sips finding I liked the taste. When I sat down the empty bowl Elijah looked at me with a glance I couldn't read. "I am sorry Katerina" the Original said in a low and soft voice. "I am sorry I was to late 500 years ago and I am sorry I have almost been to late today." He was about to say more apologies but I gently placed my finger on his lips to silence him. "Sh" I murmured "it's okay. It was my fault most of the time. I should have had trust in you. I still can't believe it took me five centuries to come back to you." I stopped, taking a deep breath because what I was about to say now would either make me find happiness I believed forever lost for 500 years or it would break me forever. "Обичам те повече от едно цвете на дъжда, повече от една риба на морето. Обичам те като луната обича слънцето и искал тигрица обича другарите си. Обичам те повече от хиляда думи би могъл да каже. И би ли ме помоли да си тръгне, да тичам до мен краката ми вече не се носят и да чакат там за вас, аз ще го направя, дори ако то е десет пъти по десет години. Защото аз съм твой." Elijah's eyes widened and slowly he brought his face closer to mine, until his lips brushed over mine ever so softly I almost couldn't feel it with my human senses.
Chapter 5 (maybe I should just write the character...) - Elijah
The taste of her lips was incredible. She tasted much like her scent. She tasted of the sea he sailed more than once before the invention of plains, and she tasted of the wind that always surrounded the cliffs and that so much meant freedom to him. And she tasted of flowers, of all the flowers they saw on their walks through whole fields of them. It was like finally, after 500 years of traveling he came home again. That always had been the reaction he had on her. Only seeing her made him feel better and simply touching her made his day a good one. And kissing her was like coming home. Of course he had kissed her a few times during the last five centuries but it had been different. It had been Kathrine. Now it was Katerina. His Katerina, his Bulgarian angel. When he broke the kiss, he brought one of her hands to his lips and softly kissed her palm. Her hand still close to his lips he replied on her earlier words: "И аз те обичам, Катерина, моята любов, моят ангел. И ако аз трябва да ви отпрати, щях да те намеря, дори ако това ще ми струва десет пъти по десет години. Защото аз съм твой." Elijah saw a small smile curving his beloved one's lips as she heard his confession of love. For the next few seconds the two of them stayed silent, totally satisfied with only looking into each others eyes and drowning in the moment. Then someone Knocked on the door and said moment was gone. With an angry sigh Katerina lied back in the cushions and Elijah, while facing the door, lowly growled before he asked "Yes?" And he heard the well-known voice of a certain werewolf answer.
Chapter 5 (I ... oh forget about it) - Rebekah
When she came home again after her meeting with a witch, who had become a dear friend for the time the Originals stayed in the city, she not only smelled her brothers one true love (she never thought she would ever call someone that way, especially her) but could also tell with her vampire hearing that a certain future mama-wolf was stupid enough to be blind for the fact that Elijah felt love only for Katerina Petrova. "You know, if you are lucky he won't even bother opening the door and ignore you. But if you're not, be aware of the fact you interrupted something - and if it's simply watching her - with his Katerina", the blonde Original mimicked her brothers tone with the last two words, as she walked by. In that moment said brother opened the door, making Rebekah smile mischievously. "I would stay brother dears, and watch you dealing with mama-wolf but unfortunately I have no popcorn and await a few calls so I'll take my leave." With those words the Original left for her rooms.
So, chapter five's done now and I have to re-adjust the maximum of chapters I guess... So all-in-all there will be 7 to 9 chapters instead of 7 to 8 for I will add a chapter for the Hayley-drama...
Much Ado About Nothing is by the fabulous William Shakespeare.
About the Bulgarian: Once again I only had Google translator so please be kind with the faults in it (but tell me none the less ;))
The first means:
I love you more than a flower the rain, more than a fish the sea. I love you like the moon loves the sun and like a tigress loves her mate. I love you more than a thousand words could ever say. And would you ask me to leave, to run until my legs no longer carry me and wait there for you, I'd do it even if it takes ten times ten years. For I am yours.
The second means
And I love you, Katerina, my love, my angel. And if I had to send you away, I'd find you even if it would cost me ten times ten years. For I am yours.
