With Tatia trusting Rekebah, the woman went overboard, giving Tatia a full makeover to match the times. Her hair was cut, her clothes were simple, she wasn't sure what she liked yet so Tatia had tons of different styles to try out.

Tatia found she loved pants, jeans especially, but she wouldn't dare wear them out of the room. She might be in a different time, didn't mean she was a different person, not yet at least. Rekebah had left her to go out, so she was laying across the bed, flipping the channels on the magical device that Rekebah called a television.

There was a black and white movie on, she got interested in it and sighed when she head the knock. Tatia went to the door, paused to open it, then paused, she peeked through the peephole and smiled. Suddenly she couldn't open the door fast enough, "Elijah!"

Elijah actually had come to see his sister. As much as Rebekah had tried to insist on her brothers coming to visit, neither he nor Niklaus had been inclined to hurry over to see their old flame. His brother because he was otherwise occupied with a new girl and Elijah because he still felt the overwhelming guilt that stemmed from Tatia's death more than a millennium ago. He certainly hadn't been expecting such a modern looking woman to open the door. And, though she appeared more like Elena than ever, the way she greeted him made it perfectly clear that it was not the latest doppelganger.

"Tatia." His response was soft, eyes troubled with more than a hint of sadness.

Her eyes looked him over, a slight frown dawn on her lips, "It's I" she informed him because she had other women who looked like her, she still didn't truly believe it, but why would Rebekah lie? "I would invite you in, but I do not have an..." she paused, different times, different rules, "would you like to come in?" she asked as she stepped back for him to enter.

His reaction to seeing her was troubling, they were in love...or she is. She wanted to wrap her arms around him, steal a kiss, but years have gone by for him, for his faimly, Rebekah had stressed that. "Rebekah went out."

	A nod. "I could tell it was you the moment you opened the door," he answered. For all that there were others with her same face, they were all such different women. Elijah stepped in. "Undoubtedly my sister is also responsible for your updated appearance." Of course Rebekah would have taken on a new project. "...how much has she told you, Tatia?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes, she took me to the trading post and bought me very strange items," she agreed with a nod of her head, she smiled pleasantly at him, he knew who she was and not this Kathrine.

Moving back to where the tv was, she turned the tv off, "She informed me that my blood helps your family turn into vampires?" she shrug her shoulder, " then you've with your family have been alive all these years..."

	He took a deep breath, trying to decide how to tell Tatia how she had died. Because he did feel the need to unburden his soul to her. To confess his sins and see if she would still be so eager to show her affection. "If she told you all of that, then you are aware that you have been dead for quite some time to us. Did my sister mention how you died?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes," she confirmed, "she did tell me I've been dead," She frowned when he asked if she knew how she died and shook her head no, "Elijah," she said wearily, "I don't want to know how."

In the world of uncertainty like the new world was, death happened often. Her eyes looked up at him, "I'm not dead now, in this places that seems like a dream, I might end up going back, I rather not know if I do. I don't want to number my days to death."

	"But it was my fault," Elijah answered, voice soft. Eyes were full of so much guilt and remorse. She could have lived a much longer life if only he'd been able to possess some semblance of self-control. She could have had a long and fruitful life. Been happy with someone. Had more children. "Tatia..." (Reply to this) (Parent)
