*The Return*
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other. He'd just asked her for the truth about her feelings for him.
"The truth is…I've never loved you."
As her words sunk in, she walked out. As she did, she heard a shot glass being shattered. She knew she'd hurt him, but she had to so that he'd let her go. She was protecting him the only way she knew how.
*The Return*
I love the way you lie
Oh, I love the way you lie
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you'll always win
Even when I'm right
Katherine lay on her back, Damon's hand around her throat.
"Kiss me or kill me? Which will it be, Damon? We both know that you're only capable of one."
For a moment, he thought it through, before taking his hand away and kissing her. Then they kissed.
*Masquerade*
'Cause you feed me fables from your hand
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied
Damon had her pinned against a wall with a stake raised.
"I'm going to drive this stake right through your heart," he threatened.
"God, you're hot. When did you get so hot?" she replied.
*1864*
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Oh, I love the way you lie
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
'Til the walls are goin' up
In smoke with all our memories
It was a dismal night, as they ran through the woods, him chasing after her.
"Where are we going?" he questioned.
"Everywhere!" she replied.
*The House Guest*
It's morning, you wake, a sun ray hits your face
Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
So I can push you off me
Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
Run out of the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
Baby, without you I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Katherine lay on the table with Damon hand around her throat. She'd told him the truth that she'd known that the dagger would kill him.
"If it's any consolation, I'm glad that you're not dead," she said.
After a moment, he let her go and she got up.
Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills
Later that night, she went downstairs to get a blood bag, but then she sensed something, so she went into the cell, only to find the dagger coming out of Elijah by an invisible force.
"Hey!" she said.
It stopped coming out.
Just as a stake flew towards her, she said, "Damon!"
Hearing her yell for him, Damon blurred downstairs, only to find the cell door open, so he came rushing in, only to see Katherine with a stake in her and the dagger coming out, so he used a fire machine which made it stop coming out. Then he dropped it and went over to her to help her.
*The Sun Also Rises*
You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'?
I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
But together, we'll live forever, we found the Youth Fountain
Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refuse counsellin'
This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
'Cause with you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you I'm out of it
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Damon and Katherine were at the apartment, talking, when Katherine saw the werewolf bite. After he informed her that it was a werewolf bite, she said, "So, what? 145 years and no goodbye?
"For you? You don't get a goodbye," he replied.
"So you're just gonna die?" she questioned.
"Depends. Ever heard anything about a cure?"
She was silent, so he assumed she didn't know of a cure.
"Yeah, me neither," he said.
He began to leave but she stood in his way, knowing he was mad about her calling Jenna upon Klaus' request.
"Don't. Don't leave mad," she said.
"Us ending up on good terms is not exactly on my bucket list, Katherine," he replied, before leaving.
*The Reckoning*
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Oh, I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
"You're gonna get yourself killed! The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid," she yelled after him, as he walked away.
He stopped and turned to look at her.
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
She watched, as he walked away.
