My Dear Katherine,
I do not mean to bother you while you’re on your hunt with Ruby, but I’ve come to some realizations and I do not think I can wait until you come home to tell them to you. It was your travel companion who opened my eyes, who made me realize the hard truth.
I love you, Katherine, and the way I let my family treat you, the way I let others treat you is deplorable, and for that I’m sorry, and I promise you, as of right now if anyone ever talks to you like that again, I’ll risk my relationship with them, risk everything to defend you, because you are my girlfriend and a real man, an honorable man would defend the woman he loves no matter what.
I’ve realized in my quest to make you ‘try’ with my family, I’ve done the one thing I should never, ever try to do: and that’s change you. That is unacceptable. This is not something a man of honor would do. Perhaps this ‘honor’ I carry around is just an act as Niklaus so often likes to point out.
I’ve also realized that ‘Katerina’ is dead and gone. The sweet peasant girl that I had feelings for in 1492 died 500 years ago, but here is the thing. I didn’t love Katerina, but I love you. You with all your faults and flaws, because let us face it, you are not perfect, darling. But then again, neither am I. The only thing I’m perfect at is being an asshole.
No more trying to impress people and to make a difference unless it is what you want. I’m not going anywhere and I’m not leaving you. The only way I’d ever do that is if you were unfaithful to me, and you never have been, and I have faith in you, faith in us that you will not hurt us.
My family my not like it, my family may never accept us, and while it would hurt me to lose any of them, especially my baby brat of a brother, Niklaus, but I love you, and I will no longer sacrifice my happiness to appease him or others. I will no longer allow them to talk down on you without having to deal with me.
I love you, Katherine Piece.
Be safe on your trip, dearest.
Yours Eternally,
Elijah Mikaelson
