This was the last thing that I’ve thought I’d get from you; your compassion. Did you find her?
Yeah well, it was buried deep in here somewhere. Yes, I did.

Thank you, I guess. I hope I’ll see you around, Damon. And not with Elena.

You’ve already told me you don’t care if I live of die. I can’t blame you though. I didn’t make it easy on you. I strung you along for so many years, I guess that’s my punishment.
Look, Katherine. Of course I care if you die - You don’t deserve that… Especially not at the hands of that maniac.

I can’t, Damon, okay! I’ve tried it all, it doesn’t work. It didn’t work six hundred years ago when I was human, it won’t work now. Not after what I just did. Maybe I’ve lived enough. Not even vampires last forever.
Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’ve lived enough… And if you really believe that then there’s nothing I can say that will stop you thinking that, is there?

I know you would’ve. But I couldn’t let you get hurt. I couldn’t do much about it either. When Klaus wants something, he usually gets it. Thank you, Damon but that doesn’t change things. It doesn’t make them better. At the end of the day, you’re still going to fall in love with Elena and I’m still going to die.
Well you’ve certainly changed. The Katherine I knew would fight. Hard. I don’t believe that you’d give up this easily - especially about Klaus. He’s an Original yes, but even Originals have their weaknesses. You just have to find it and exploit it.

That’s your problem, Damon. What matters is that I know how I feel and I know what I want. I couldn’t put you at risk. Klaus wanted me dead, he still wants that and he probably will try to kill me after knowing what I did.
If it makes you feel better, I left Elena at a house, outside Georgia. I’m on my way back to Mystic Falls.
You know if you had done things differently and asked for help with the whole Klaus thing, I would have helped. As much as you’ve hurt me and the people I care about, I don’t think you should die.
