Watching Damon completely reject her and Katherine hurt Elena deeply, she knew why he had done it and could even understand it but it hurt all the same. She also felt like the worse kind of person for causing him to feel this way, for putting him through so much pain. She found herself craving Katherines touch, she was jealous of her past self for having something she wanted, needed, so badly. Caroline went after Damon leaving Katherine and Past Elena alone, Past Elena turned to face Katherine, Elena could see the same pain of rejection in her past self's pain as she felt but also and happiness or sorts, "im glad we're not hiding anymore, but i feel kind of selfish making them unhappy so i can be happy". Katherine wrapped her arms around Past Elena and brought her into an embrace "its not selfish to be happy, it's childish be angry at others for seeking what makes them happy" she said placing a light chaste kiss on Past Elenas lips. "How quickly can you pack?" Past Elena ask excitedly, she was practically bouncing, Katherine shrugged "maybe a couple of days" Katherine said, Elena could feel Katherines cheeks strain against the smile that was coming to the surface. When Past Elenas face dropped Katherine chuckled "i could leave this very second" she said and the grin came back instantly "but i will need some clothes" Katherine finished as she looped and arm around Past Elenas waist "well you dont really need clothes" Past Elena said suggestively. Katherine nodded in faux agreement "sure i'll just run around Mystic falls naked, the pair burst with laughter and they walked up to Katherines apartment.
As she watched Katherine step towards the apartment door Elenas vision began to fade and she was pushed back into the darkness momentarily.
She was in the dark for a matter of seconds before a new image was brought forward, Katherine was stood in front of Elenas house dragging a suitcase up the path towards the door. She saw her Past self standing at the foot of the stairs her own suitcase in hand "hurry up" she teased before dashing up the stairs, Katherine giggled closed the door and dropped her suitcase before running up after her. When Katherine got to the top of the stairs, Elea could see her past self stood in her bedroom doorway with her back to Katherine, there was something about the way she stood that set off alarm bells, her posture was rigid, if she was a cat her hackles would be raised.
Katherine walked up to Past Elena and looked over her shoulder, sat on the bed brushing the creases from his suit was Elijah Mikaelson. "Ah Katherine, Elena finally i trust your trip was pleasant" he said as got to his feet, Katherine step forward putting herself between Past Elena and the Original "what are you doing here Elijah?" she demanded. Elijah sighed "yes well i suppose there not point in dragging this out so i'll skip the pleasantries and cut right to the chase". Without a word he strode forward and locked eyes with Katherine "don't move" he ordered, Elena felt all of Katherines muscles go stiff, Katherine strained against the hold but it was no use she was completely powerless, the fear Katherine was feeling made Elenas blood run cold. Elijah moved out of Katherines view and came back holding Past Elena by the back of her neck, he locked eyes with Past Elena and gave her the same order, "I am very sorry about this ladies, but over my many years i have fallen into debt with many people, one such individual has contacted me and to clear my debt i must do him one favour". He paused to correct his suit before continuing "unfortunately i have been given the task of making sure neither you nor anyone else in your group remember this relationship". Tears began to stream down Katherines cheeks, desperation fueled her to attempt to free herself from the compulsions hold, but it was no use. "Im very sorry" Elijah continued "to tell you the truth i find this very distasteful but it is what Damon asked of me". Elijah locked eyes with Past Elena and whispered the words which would separate her from Katherine, once he was done Past Elena drooped to the floor seemingly unconscious. Elena could never have imagined the storm of emotions she was feeling from Katherine, hurt, betrayal, hopelessness, anger, sadness and other emotions to mixed up to identity. Elijah scooped Past Elena off the floor and placed her carefully on the bed, "i am very sorry for this Katherine, but now this is the kindest thing to do" with that he locked eyes with Katherine and began to order away the memories and emotions. Suddenly the storm of emotions raging and frothing inside of Katherine subsided, disappearing completely, Katherine's body unfroze and she fell forwards into Elijahs arms. The darkness took her away from the scene. For once Elena was thankful to it.
A new image was brought before Elena, Katherine was in Stefans room laying in bed, Elena felt pain all over, she felt like death, the door to the room opened and Elenas Past Self came into the room. "You wanted to see me?" her Past self asked, she stood at the end of the bed making sure she kept her distance, Katherine began to cough violently and motioned for Past Elena to come over which she quickly did grabbing a tissue for Katherine to use. Katherine reached out for the tissue, "i wanted to apologize to you Elena, for all the thing ive done to you, i was jealous and selfish" Katherine paused to cough into Elenas tissue and motioned for Past Elena to come closer. When she was close enough Katherine lashed out grabbing Past Elenas head and shouted "Jaryakat a zem, daryeet acz", and swirl of darkness filled Katherines vision and when i cleared she was no longer in the bed but standing looking down at Katherines body. A smug smile began to emerge on Katherines new face but it was interrupted when a strange feeling began to take her over, a rush of images and memories came flooding into Katherine brain. Katherine dropped to her knees and hung her head in her hands, the storm of emotion Elijah sent away had returned and fresh tear fell like a waterfall down Katherines cheeks. A buzzing interrupted Katherine sobbing, her phone sat next to her dying body, Nadia was calling her. Katherine struggled to her feet her every limb shaking, she picked up the phone and held it up to her tear soaked face.
