Katherine let out a harsh breath, shifting slightly to get more comfortable. The rock wall of the tomb was not comfy at all, and her wrist was beginning to get raw with how much she had tugged at the chain that held her. She rubbed her hand over her forehead, standing up. Esther couldn't afford her running off to tell everyone where she was keeping Elijah, so she had elected to keep her chained beside him. After all, she was useful.
She winced as she reached the end of the chain and it jerked her arm back. Swallowing, she reached out to barely brush her finger tips along his jaw. This was as close as she could get to him, and it frustrated her. She wanted, no needed, to be closer to him. To get him out. He was in pain, his own mother had done this to him. Suddenly, Katherine was sporting mother of the year, at least where Esther was concerned.
"Elijah...please wake up," she whispered softly. "I need you to wake up...I need you..."

Elijah had lost track of time and could barely remember what day it was. His head was pounding and all he wanted to do was rest, but his mother and Finn would never allow that. His body continue to slump and hang from the chains that bound his wrists. The steel had cut into his skin leaving deep thick red gashes around his wrists. Sweat coated his brow from the loss of blood that he had experienced and for the lack of energy his body had.
With the image of Tatia still in his mind, a hallucination that his mother had given him. His mind was in a whirl of past memories and unable to focus on anything clearly. He heard a voice - Tatia. Hearing her voice telling him to wake up, that she needed him.
He raised his head slowly and opened his eyes, groaning as he pulled on the chains again and winced at the steel cut in deeper to his skin "...K-Ka-Katerina?" he mumbled raspy.

Katherine had almost given up. She had almost admitted defeat and allowed her hand to fall to her side. Her head bowed as she focused on her feet. She would kill them. Some way, some how, she would kill them. She felt her eyes begin to burn with tears, and she shook her head slightly, blinking them away. Like hell she was going to let them see her cry.
Swallowing, she took a step back, and then froze. She raised her head as his chains rattled, and she let out a breath of relief. He was disoriented, weak, and in pain but he was alive. That was what mattered.
"Да, я здесь Илия," she said softly. Yes, I'm here Elijah.
Katherine stepped towards him again, pulling the chain tight as she struggled against it once more. She didn't care as it bit into her flesh, ignoring the pain. Her hand cupped Elijah's cheek, and she let out a shuddering breath through the pain.
"Ваш Катерина здесь, Илия. И я не уйду." Your Katerina is here, Elijah. And I am not leaving.

Elijah could barely make out what she was saying but he knew that he could hear her voice. It sounded muffled to his ears and to the point of being unrecognisable but he knew that it was her. Slumped against the chains hissing at the pulled at his wrists. He could feel her hand cupping his cheek and it felt warm. He shivered against the cool air in the tomb, his shirt was sweat clogged and dried blood of his victims still stained his shirt.
"...Katerina" he mumbled again. There was so many things that he wanted to say but his brain could not string two sentences together for him to speak. No one had noticed that he was missing, not even one that he could call brother "...K-Katerina" he muttered again.
No matter how hard he tried he could not break free of the chains that bound him. He only ended causing himself more pain and more blood loss which is what he expected his mother wanted from him. Make him weak so that he was more easily controlled.

Katherine's chest hurt. Seeing him in so much pain and not being able to do anything about it caused agony to spread through her. Tears slipped down her cheeks, and she took in a shakey breath.
"Shh," she said softly. "It's going to be okay. Y-you're going to be okay."
She swallowed, pulling her hand away slowly. Licking her lips she looked around briefly before finding what she needed. She walked over to the tomb wall, digging her palm against a jagged edge that stuck out, reopening the wound that had begun to close over. She hissed softly in pain, and then moved back over to Elijah.
"Here," she said softly. She gently placed the bleeding wound over his lips, allowing her blood to drip on his mouth.
"N-Niklaus and Hayley are looking for you. They....they'll find you."

Elijah could smell her blood and no matter how hard he fought to break himself out of this haze that his mother had put him in. He felt a wetness at his lips and could taste the blood as his eyes fluttered open and he could see Katerina "...Katerina" he mumbled against the palm of her hand.
Feeling drips of her blood in his mouth his tongue darted around to absorb the blood. He needed the energy "Katerina" he paused whimpering "What are you" he was cut off as he dropped his head and vomited blood. It sprayed everywhere and soaked his own shirt. He began convulsing as a blood froth foamed at his mouth and he vomited again.
Crying out in pain again as his body crippled and slumped with pain. With his full weight pulling on his chains again reopening wounds that had tried to close as his own blood trickled down his arms.

"Shh," Katherine whispered. "You need it."
She let out a gasp, jerking her hand away as Elijah vomit up the blood. She watched in horror as he convulsed in pain and could see the wounds along his arms reopen. She licked her lips, letting out a harsh breath.
"I'm sorry," she gasped. "I'm so sorry, I didn't..."
She turned her head away, squeezing her eyes shut tightly as a sob threathened to leave her lips. There was nothing she coukd do. She was literally going to have to watch him go through this and there was nothing she could do. There was one thing...she could distract.
"Just...Just listen to my voice...just focus on my voice," she said softly. Her hand raised to gently brush her fingertips against his jaw again.
"1492...the minute your lips touched my hand, I was falling for you and I didn't even know your name."

Elijah's body dropped and slumped pulling harder against his chains. He felt weaker than ever now and it wouldn't be long before he fell into darkness again. He could hear her voice and a small smirk rose on the corner of his mouth "...I-I remember" he groaned.
Tilting his head to lean on his upper arm as it hung above his head, his eyes rolled into the back of their sockets. "T-The...The music" he mumbled "I can hear it now" he hissed as another wave of pain took hold of him.
He dropped his head forward as more blood poured from his mouth but not as much as it had been before. Elijah was now standing in a pool of his own blood.

Katherine smiled faintly, but it was a worried, sad smile. She cupped his cheek, stroking his cheek. She swallowed, closing her eyes to stop the tears from falling from her eyes. She let out a breath, and then opened her eyes.
"You were always the kind one...h-humoring me when I was bored. Chasing me around the castle grounds...rolling around in the fields of flowers." She swallowed. Her fingers curled against his cheek, brushing her knuckles against his cheek.
When his head dropped forward she shifted to run her fingers through his hair, hating that she was an arms length away from him at all times. She let out a choked whimper.
"E-Elijah, please...you have...you have to stay awake. Please."

"....Katerina" he hissed through the pain, his teeth clenched together causing his gums to start bleeding from the intense pressure that he was putting on them. He just wanted all this pain to end, all he wanted was relief from the pain.
His mother had done something to him but he didn't know what it was. He let his head drop back so that his eyes was staring at the stone ceiling "I-I see you" he mumbled under his breath.
Letting his head fall forward he began coughing and spluttering blood again "I'm...I'm sorry" he groaned again. His eyes fluttered open and he could barely see Katerina in front of him but he could feel her hand rest against his cheek, running through his damp sweat clogged hair.
"...Tell Niklaus....Tell my brother....." he trailed out as he could no longer summon the words to speak what was in his mind.

Katherine shook her head violently. Her hands trembled as her fingers combed through his hair. She a sob escaped her lips and she tilted her head back to stare at up. Her eyes closed, and several tears slipped down her cheeks. After a moment, she let out a breath, looking back at him.
"I-I'll tell him..." She whispered. "Just..." She swallowed, choking down another sob. "C-Close you eyes...go to sleep...I'll b-be here...when you w-wake up."
She let out a breath, and closed her eyes. Any other time she would seek solace in the fact that Elijah couldn't really die. This was his mother however, Katherine wouldn't be surprised if she had a way to kill him.

Elijah closed his eyes and let what strength that he had been holding onto keep his legs from giving out from underneath him. With a groan, he let his legs slip and he hung mid air with only his wrists supporting him.
He heard Katerina's voice but it was muffled and he could not make out what she was saying to him, "I-I lov--" and his voice trailed off as he let darkness consume him.
Paralysed with pain he let it all fall away and fall into a place where he was numb and the pain could not touch him.

Katherine closed her eyes tightly as he finally went limp. The wounds around his wrists began to bleed more as the metal bit into his flesh more as all of his weight bore down on his wrist. She opened her mouth to take a breath, tears dripping from her upper lip. Despite knowing that there was nothing she could do, and that he wouldn't be able to tell that she was there, she refused to move away from him. Her body shook as she finally allowed herself to completely break down.
The words that he had started to say, but didn't finish she had already known. She had known, but being selfish she had wanted him to say them. She could have went eternity without hearing them if it meant that he would be unharmed and safe. She let out a pained cry, her fingers tightening in his hair briefly. She would be here....she'd be here every time he woke up. She'd be here to comfort him and take his mind off of everything.
