She's got empires burning in her veins

Katherine O'dair. Witch. 17. For a girl of flames, you would {burn} the sky. What will you do when she d r o w n s?

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

Nothing?

[katherine--odair]

Nope. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

Can I do anything for you?

[katherine--odair]

I don't think so. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

I guess. It just doesn’t seem that way right now?

[katherine--odair]

Yeah, pretty much. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

I still didn’t help you. You don’t believe me?

[katherine--odair]

There was no way you could have. It's not that I don't believe you it's just...I don't know. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

I still should have tried more. It’ll get better, you know, it just takes a while.

[katherine--odair]

You did everything you could have. So i've been told. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

I don’t know.. How are you doing?

[katherine--odair]

Exactly, there was nothing anyone could have done. Fine I guess. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

There may have been something. It wasn’t just that. I couldn’t watch you do that to yourself..I knew how much you would blame yourself after, and I couldn’t help you. I thought it would help but as you saw it doesn’t work that well for me lately. 

[katherine--odair]

Like what? All the more reason that I don't blame you for doing it. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

Maybe, maybe not. I should have tried harder. It didn’t even help that much, and I had a feeling it wouldn’t yet I still did it. Don’t excuse me for it.

[katherine--odair]

You tried to compel me to turn it back on, I don't see what else you could have done. If I hadn't of said those thing or basically told you you would be better off with it flipped I doubt you would have done it, so if it's anyones fault it's mine. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

Kat, I wasn’t exactly on my best behavior either. I should have helped you more, but I took the easy way out. If anything I owe you.

[katherine--odair]

There was nothing you could have done to help me.  After all those things I said to you I don't blame you for turning it off.

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

Not for me. If you feel you need to for others, go ahead, but you don’t need to do anything for me.

[katherine--odair]

Maybe I don't need to but I want to.

A Day Without Me || Katherine + Nate

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

Sighing Nate looked away from her shaking his head once more. She had a point, if she hadn’t had his blood in her system she would have died, that or she would have just burned up along with her home. That Mai were the one thing that didn’t seem connected to his family, even if he and his siblings had not been around the Mai still would have with a vendetta against Sinclairs. “You were in most of those situations because of my family.” He said simply, the ritual, and everything with Isabeau could be brought back to his family.

“Good.” He grumbled stubbornly continuing to narrow his eyes at her. Deep down Nate knew she could use her magic against him to do whatever she wanted and even if he tried to prevent her she could likely succeed if she really wanted. He could only hope it wouldn’t come to that. “Would you like to try that for a while though? It may help your fever.” Getting into cold water wasn’t exactly something Nate wanted to do but if it helped her feel even a bit better he would. Seeing her smile and tell him she loved him caused the vampire’s smile to grow before it quickly fell as she frowned and looked down. “Hey.. come here.” He said softly reaching over to pull her into his arms. “It’s okay. We’re okay baby.” It would have been a lie if he said she hadn’t hurt him while she had her humanity off, but Nate had been around long enough to know that time tended to bring out the worst in people. And even if he wasn’t as bad off he still didn’t treat her like he normally did.

[katherine--odair]

Seeing his action, Katherine knew that he knew she was right. The thought almost brought a smirk to her lips. Sighing in frustration when he kept on, she realized how irritating it probably was for him when she constantly blamed herself for things.  Still she doubted this would make her stop doing just that. "Percy still would have come here for the ritual even if you hadn't come with him so I still would have gotten tangled up in that whole thing anyways.

Shanking her head, the brunette shrugged. "No, it's not so bad right now. Maybe if it gets worse later." Considering she hadn't been a vampire that long she still remembered what it was like to get sick and the fever wasn't much worse then one she would get when she had the flu although she had a sneaking suspicion it would probably get worse as time went on. Curling up next to him when he pulled her to him, she rested her head on his chest. "I'm so sorry about...everything. I don't know why I said those things. I didn't really mean any of it and I just- I'm sorry." 

[katherine--odair]

[haylee-crystalcove]

Katherine… I know. Trust me, I /know/ how bad it is. It was a mistake, I made that mistake when mine was off too. But it’s not… It does get b-better… A little….

[katherine--odair]

A mistake that cost people their lives. That doesn't sound very convincing, Hales. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

Why do you need to?

[katherine--odair]

Because i have to do something to make up for the stuff I did. 

[haylee-crystalcove]

Why? 

[katherine--odair]

Because I killed all those people. It's not right that i'm alive and none of them are. 

[haylee-crystalcove]

Do you wish you hadn’t? 

[katherine--odair]

I don't really know. 

[nathanael-darcy-deactivated2020]

You don’t need to make anything up to me. Just no more trying to off yourself. Deal?

[katherine--odair]

I kind of do though. But deal.
