A Thousand Years

Summary: Set in S1, 2, and 5.

*Fool Me Once*

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

It was a dismal night in the woods, as Damon stood there, deep in though and grief, thinking she was dead after opening the tomb and not finding her there. Little did he know, she was never in the tomb in the first place.

*As I Lay Dying*

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything, take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

It was a dismal night, as Katherine arrived with the cure. When she did, she saw that he was just moments from death by werewolf bite. He was sweaty, pale, and his eyes were closed. She didn't like seeing him this way.

She approached and put the vial to his lips and, when he felt the blood go down his throat, he freely drank the rest.

She set the empty vial on the end table and rested a gentle hand on the side of his face.

When he opened his eyes, she didn't show it, but she was relieved.

"You came back," he said.

"Of course I came back. I owed you one," she replied.

She took her hand away.

Damon didn't know what she meant by that, but didn't say anything.

*1864-Woods*

And all along, I believed I would find you

Time has brought you to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

It was a dark night in the woods, as human Damon stood just inches in front of her, her back against a tree.

"Why must you run from me?" he asked her.

"Because I know that you will chase," she replied with a smile.

"Then let me chase you forever," he replied.

*I Know What You Did Last Summer*

I have died everyday, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

And all along I believed, I would find you

Time has brought you to me

I have died everyday, waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

It was a nebulous night, as she stood in front of him in the living room.

"What are you doing here, Katherine?" he asked her.

"I'm human. What happens when word gets out that I'm a human now? I can't protect myself. I'm weak and I'm slow. Please, just...help me," she replied, clearly pleading with him and desperate.

He turned to leave, but she put a hand on his shoulder.

He turned back to her.

"Deep down, there's a part of you that doesn't want me to die," she told him.

He couldn't say anything against that, knowing that she was right. He hated how alike they were. She knew him as much as he knew himself and, sometimes, better than he knew himself. Despite hating her, a part of him still cared.
