*1864- Woods*
I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching my breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Katherine and human Damon stood in the woods, her up against a tree.
"Why must you run from me?" Damon questioned her.
"Because I know that you will chase," she replied with a smile.
"Then let me chase you forever."
She made a cut by her collarbone.
"I won't feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it."
"I choose you, Katherine," he said, before drinking from the open wound.
*The Return*
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
It was a dismal night, as Katherine and Damon made out, newly reunited with one another, at the Salvatore boarding house in the living room.
*As I Lay Dying*
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith, karma comes around
I will spend the rest of my life
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Katherine walked in with the cure and then went to where he lay, just moments from dying from a werewolf bite. She put the vial of the cure to his lips, making it go down his throat to cure and save his life. Then she rested a hand on the side of his face, waiting for it to work.
He looked at her, feeling better.
"You came back."
"I owed you one," she said, before walking out.
*The House Guest*
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
You helped me see
The beauty in everything
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Damon was in bed, reading, when he was interrupted by Katherine. She got on the bed and crawled up to him until she was on top of him.
"You were hurt me today," she stated.
"Just a tad," he replied.
"You were very rough. Monstrous."
"You deserved it," he replied.
"I like this Damon," she said, just inches away from kissing him. She attempted to, but he put hands on either side of her face.
"Katherine, there are six other rooms in this house. Go find one." He pushed her and she landed on her ass. She gave a shocked face at being rejected by him yet again.
*Masquerade*
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Catch my breath
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down
After being vervained, she woke up somewhere unfamiliar and slowly got to her feet. She saw Damon just outside.
"Where am I?"
"Where you should've been all along," he told her.
"No. Damon. Don't do this to me," she pleaded with him, as he began to close the tomb.
"You need me!" she yelled when it was completely closed.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
It's all so simple now
It's all so simple now
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
(Catch my breath)
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
(Catch my breath)
Catch my breath (catch my breath), won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
It was a dismal night, as a human Katherine stood in front of Damon.
"I have enemies everywhere. What happens when people find out that I'm a human? I can't protect myself. I'm weak and slow. Do you have any idea what it's like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon. Just…please, help me," she pleaded with him.
