Love in War

Hunting a witch

Katherine's POV

+

"Ride off into the sunset?!?!" I screamed into the phone on which I was currently talking to Stefan who told me that Klaus thought I would rather have a romantic day with Elijah than search fpr the witch who could possibly be the last hope in saving my best friend and sister.

+

Currently, me and Elijah were on our way to our destination on an airplane, buissness class mind you. "Well yeah, that's what he said" Stefan says with an unsure voice.

+

"Its bad for my skin you know" I said clearly getting off topic.

+

" That is exactly what I told him!" he exclaims with a hint of proud in his tone

+

"Well be rest assured I am not going to do that......atlest not until I fiond that witch and cure caroline that it" i said with a smirk.

+

"O-okay thats it i am not listening to anymore of your talking, are you sure you are not day drunk?" he asks

+

"No, i am never drunk, nor day or night" I say to him proudly.

+

"As if" he mutters and before I could protest he says "well I got to go, Caroline seems to be having a nightmare and by the looks of it this one is bad" and then hangs up.

"how was your talk with Stefan" Elijah asks me and I jump in surprise to hear his voice.

+

"I thought you were sleeping, you scared me to death" I said holding my hand to my heart.

+

"you are already dead Katerina" he says with an amused expression and my stomach does flips on hearing my real name come out of his lips.

+

"well ok then Mr. Obvious, do you know where we are going?" I ask him.

+

"Yes, we are going to Finland" he says with a grim expression.

+

"Oh!" is all i can say while thinking about how cold it is going to be there

+

"Yes, Katerina, Oh!" he says mimicking me in a very bad accent I didn't even have.

"Well, how are we going to find her, we possibly can't go around asking people if they know how to perform black magi or if they know how to lift that-that spell that Caroline has" I say to him ain hope of getting an answer.

+

"procidat deceptionem naeniam" Elijah says picking up a newspaper from the compartment infront of him.

+

"What?" I ask him completely baffled by what he.

+

"the name of the incantation or spell as you like to call it is 'procidat deceptionem naeniam' and it is an illusion spell, very tricky to perform but, not very hard to lift, well at least for a witch who practises black magic" he says finally looking at me.

+

"well then how are we going to find her, like I said we cant necessarily announce it off rooftops" i say again.

+

"I know that, thats why asked ahead of time and got a list of places where the magic is high and witches could live" he says.

+

"Wow!, you really planned it" I say impressed, I knew that he was sophisticated but I didn't know he had thought ahead this much.

+

"well i am going to sleep, after all I need my beauty sleep" I said jokingly.

+

"Nonsence, you look beautiful as you are, Katerina" he says while reading the newspaper he had takenout earlier and I was glad because I was blushing like a tomato.

+

"Thank you" i say softly.

+

"Youre very welcome, now sleep it is going to be hours since we arrive there" he said and before i could respond to him, I succumbed to sleep

+

+

"Wow!!" i said looking at the road ahead of me, Finland was truly beautiful. I had always loved the snow and the trees and forest gave it an eerie but mysterious look.

We were currently in a car, on our way to the hotel to change and freshen up before we went to look for the witch.

+

"Yes it is, I remember when I last came to Finland, it was merely a place that snowed a lot" Elijah says smiling out at the window and I instantly felt jealous of the window....yes an effing window, this man was going to be the death of me.

+

Whenever I was near him I always craved his attention, he was the only one who could ignite the fire in me, the only one who ever came close to my heart, then I ran as I always did, away from my problem.....my demons....him.

+

After him I promised I would never fall in love with someone again, and for a time I thought I had achieved that goal, but then I found out how wrong I was. I never fell in love because I was already in love, all those years ago, for centuries, for 500 years, my heart belonged to Elijah and Elijah only and that thought scared me.

+

Because like what Damon Salvatore once said ' I've been in love. Painful, pointless, overrated' it was true and I was determined not to fall or die because of it.

+

I Katherine Pierce was a survivor, not even Elijah could make me anything less, but the one and only person for whom I would die for was Caroline, she maybe not my sister but she, Stefan and Kol were the closest thing I had to a family.

+

And Hell be dammed, I would not let anyone hurt them.

+

+

"My legs are paining" I complained for the fifth time. It had been 3 hours since we went out looking for the witch and still we were not able to find her. To matters worse, Elijah had said that we couldn't use our vampire speed since it could draw suspicion.

+

"We can stop if you want to, maybe get something to eat while where at it, you must be awfully drained from the drive" Elijah says with concern in his eyes.

+

"Now that you mention it, I am very hungry" I said smirking.

+

"No killing Katerina" he said dryly.

+

"Ok-Ok, but what if someone sees me" I said quickly, I had never been one to hide my true nature and hide but I was in a country I didn't know without reinforcements so I had to take some precautions.

+

"I am here, no one will see you drinking from me" he said like it wasn't a big deal and I stood there gaping at him.

+

"You might want to close your mouth, my dear Katerina" he said trying to hide his smile but failing miserable at it.

+

Unintentionally I thought about Elijah's blood and licked my lips, thinking about how sweet or bitter it would be.
