Hours seemed to pass by with every nerve that pulsed in the side of Elijah's forehead. He had never felt so anxious before in over a thousand years. With Katerina in and out of consciousness since the completion of the spell that rid Katerina of an unwanted visitor in the form of his elder sister Freya. Elijah had remained a constant vigil by Katerina's bedside, the only times he had left was to shower and change clothing.
But immediately he returned to the very spot that he had made for himself which was by her bedside. Unknown as to when she would rise permanently since the spell had drained every inch of Katerina's resolve and strength that she had been using to fight against his sister.
Raising his head as he felt her stir once again, unsure if she would fall unconscious again "Katerina" he whispered soothingly.

Katherine's eyes flicked rapidly beneath her eyelids. She'd been in and out of consciousness since Freya had been expelled, both her body and her mind exhausted. She stirred, the fog began to lift on her mind, and through the haze she heard her name. Her lips twitched into into a smile, and her eyes flicked open.
"Здравейте, Илия," she spoke in reply. Hello, Elijah. Her voice cracked slightly, and she cleared her throat. She winced slightly as she eased herself into a sitting position. Pressing the heel of her hand against her forehead, she rubbed at her temple.
"How long have I been out?" She asked, frowning. She raised her head to look at him, and tilted her head slightly at him. She reached up after a moment, trailing her fingers against his jaw. "Elijah..."

Elijah released the breath that he didn't know that he had been holding. She was awake and hearing her speak sounded like music to his ears. For days he had been sat next to her bed only leaving her when he absolutely had to. Feeling her hand trail his jaw, his body stiffened.
Lowering his head he attempted to smile knowing that she was going to be okay. But he couldn't even do that, he couldn't give her some attempt to show the raw emotion that was brewing inside of him. After a few moments he raised his eyes to lock an intensive gaze with her, his tongue flicked across his lips.
"A few days...It was to be expected" he answered her.

Katherine narrowed her eyes slightly as she felt him tense. Her brows raised as he looked away from her, and she leaned back slightly to brace her weight against the bed as she pressed her palms against the bed. She turned her head to look at him, and she pulled her lower lip between her teeth as he finally raised his head to lock gazes with her. She wanted to follow the path his tongue made along his lips, but his gaze kept her in place.
"Well...then I guess I should probably get up, hmm?" She pushed herself up, sliding to the edge of the bed. It brought her closer to him, and her knees brushed against his. Katherine tilted her head slightly, and raised her gaze to meet Elijah's. She licked her lips, and tilted her head again as she spoke.
"Unless you don't want me to?" Her lips quirked into a smirk.

Elijah's gaze flickered down to his own knees as he felt Katerina's brush lightly against them. He straightened himself so that he was leaning against the back of the chair. He turned from her for a few moments and then slowly turned to face her "You should rest Katerina" he told her.
Since Elijah had not been present during the spell he had not witnessed what had happened, but with the whispers from those who knew what had happened had reached his ears. They were all certain that Freya had been expelled from her body. But that did not mean Elijah would let his concern slack.
"...Such a spell performed on you shall require a few more days to fade Katerina"

Katherine rolled her eyes slightly. "Get possessed one time and it's like being back on square one. Fantastic." She mumbled under her breath. She swung her legs to the opposite side of his, pushing herself to her feet. Dusting herself off, she angled her head to look down at him.
Raising a brow, she spoke. "I'm fine, Elijah." She didn't wait for him to answer, striding across the room into the bathroom. She was fine except for the fact that she hadn't been awake for several days. He thought she needed to rest more? No. Standing in front of the bathroom sink, she leaned forward to put her hands against the counter. Raising her head, she stared at her reflection. Freya was gone. She had been awake once the spell had been completed, but had passed out shortly afterwards. She didn't feel the witch in her mind either.
A movement caught the corner of her eye, and she turned back to the mirror, frowning. As she watched, her reflection changed. Her hair turned flat and limp, loosing the healthy shine that it currently had. Her skin began to crack and tear away in patterns that reminded her dog teeth. She met her reflection's eyes, and she saw the dark shame looming behind, slowly coming closer. Golden eyes giving way to red...
Katherine let out a strangled noise in her throat, stumbling back away from the mirror to hit the wall behind her. She closed her eyes, trying to quell the panicked beat of her heart as her hand came to her throat. Her skin was flawless...perfect. Her eyes snapped open, and her reflection was back to normal. Reflecting only the terrified expression she had.

Elijah opened his mouth to speak but was cut off as Katerina got out of her bed. He shook his head knowing that it was pointless trying to talk her around from doing what she wanted. He had learned to both admire and grow irritated about that part of her. But she would not be Katerina if she did not defy him at every request her made of her. It was one of the reasons why he cared so much about her.
Remaining in his seat as he caught a glimpse of her heading into the bathroom. Giving her some privacy as she adjusted to being back in control of her body without the invasion of his sister Freya. He let his fingers tap away on the chair arm listening to the silence. There was no war happening inside these wall at current time, but Elijah knew it was only a matter of time before another enemy crashed in through their front door. Metaphorically speaking of course, although the witches did love their grand entrances.
Picking up on a rapid increase of a heart beat "Katerina?" he spoke calling out to her. Pushing himself out of his chair he made his way cautiously over to the bathroom. Still the rapid heart beat increased to a drum. Pushing the door open he found Katerina slouched against the wall.
Immediately he bent down next to her, tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear "...Katerina" he spoke worriedly.

Catching movement out of the corner of her eye, caused Katherine to jerk away from Elijah before she realized it was him. She licked her her lips, and raised her eyes to meet his. Opening her mouth to speak, she closed it before any words could actually come out. She turned her head away from him, and reached up to thread her fingers through her hair, and closed her eyes to try and block out the fear that was creeping through her. What had Freya done to her? She hadn't been plagued by these memories since Klaus had compelled her.
"I'm fine," she whispered after a moment. She opened her eyes, pulling her hands free from her hair. Pressing the back of her hand against her mouth, she pulled herself to her feet. There was no need to explain to him what was happening. He didn't even know about what she went through in Hell, and she wanted to keep it that way.

Elijah could immediately sense that something was awry and that caused the words that his sister spoke to become present in his mind. He could hear the venom of his sister words cause him to think of anything that she could do to leave a presence of her magic inside Katerina. Pushing himself to his feet as he prepared to help Katerina in any shape of form.
He tucked a loose lock of her hair behind her ear "...I admire that you defy me Katerina. But in this instance. I strongly suggest that you heed my request that you rest. My sister is quite talented when it comes to her ways of getting what she wants" he told her hearing her words of a threat against Katerina's life.

Katherine licked her lips, listening to his words. A smile tugged at her lips as he admitted to admiring her for her gal to defy him. She'd always been that way. Turning her gaze to look at him, she nodded her heaf slightly.
"Fine," she spoke. She stepped around him, and reached up to tug her shirt over her head. She flicked her gaze over her shoulder at him, and raised a brow.
"But not until I take a shower. Now...you can help or just stand there." She pursed her lips coyly, and shrugged. "Up to you."
She reached behind her with one hand to begin unhooking her bra as she stepped towards the shower to turn the water on.

Elijah stood transfixed watching her remove her clothing piece by piece and drop it to the floor. Her offer of him helping caused him to smile and that is when the inner battle began inside of him. Slowly the part of him that stood for nobility took centre stage and claimed him wholeheartedly as his body stiffened.
"...Tempting Katerina. But I believe your health is far more important" he assured her.
He took a last longing gaze at her before he turned on his heels and exited the bathroom leaving her alone. He knew that he had made a mistake but it was not the correct time. After witnessing her slumped against the wall it gave him all the information that he needed to know that something was wrong.

Katherine rolled her eyes as Elijah walked away, and glared at the water. Slipping the rest of her clothes off, she stepped into the shower. She wasn't fragile, she didn't need to be handled with kid gloves.
Running her hands over her face and hair as the water cascaded over her, she let out a harsh breath. The hot water helped to relax her muscles that she hadn't even realized was tight. She was tense.
Rinsing the shampoo from her hair, she turned around to face the water. She raised her hands to run under the water, and then froze. The water was running red, the consistency changing from thin to thick. She swallowed hard, watching as her skin blistered as if boiling. She jerked away, and pressed against the far wall. Closing her eyes, she let out a breath.
Opening her eyes slowly, everything was back to normal. She shook her head, turning thr water off. Grabbing a towel, she hastily dried herself off, and wrapped it around her. Stepping out of the bathroom, she found Elijah sitting back in the chair he had been when she had woke up.
Katherine licked her lips, and made her way over to him. Without speaking, she sat down in his lap, tucking her head under his chin as she tucked her legs under her.

After leaving the bathroom Elijah headed straight back into the bedroom and returned to the chair had become his home for several days. He knew that he had to be strong about this and could not give into Katerina's temptation. All he could hear was Freya's words going through his head and he could not shake them.
With his arm resting loosely on the chair arm, his finger resting on his lower lip. He could hear the water running from the shower, the wolves passing through the compound. He could also hear Hope crying from her nursery.
He knew that he needed to keep a distance from Hayley and Jackson. Elijah seemed to be lost in his own world as he raised his eyes to see that Katerina was now sitting in his lap. He had been oblivious to what was happening around him.
He wanted to speak but he couldn't find the right words to say at this moment.

Katherine felt him shift slightly, and she raised her head to look at him. She shook her head slightly, and let out a breath.
"You're right," she said after a moment. She licked her lips, and shook her head. She didn't want to admit she had a problem. She didn't want to admit that she had a weakness. But it was Elijah.

With his fingertips gently stroking her back in delicate motions. He listened to her heart beat using it as a focus point. Listening to her voice, admitting that his sister had done something to her had Elijah pull himself to attention. Tilting his head so that he could just see her face that hid behind her hair.
"....I was afraid...She spoke of such things that she would do...." he admitted to her.
Elijah was only told stories about his sister Freya as a small child, that she was claimed by a disease but now they knew the truth.
