I write best when I have prompts. So my challenge to myself is to fill the box. If you comment and pick a prompt/pairing, I'll write it. Otherwise, I'll try to fill them out myself.

After she has the baby, her parents stop talking to her. They do not put her out as she feared they would, but they do not acknowledge her presence. All communication is done through intermediaries, such as her sisters, and when she attempts to speak directly to them, they turn their backs.

When her eldest sister tells her how their father has found a man willing to take her as a wife, she knows she cannot say no and risk befouling the family name any worse. She asks her only brother, three years older than she, what she should do; he presses what little money he can spare into her palm and gives her simple but explicit instructions.

"Run fast. Run far. Don't get caught."

As she runs in the woods outside Klaus's home, she repeats the words like an incantation, tripping over her feet, her adrenaline making her clumsy.

She chants the words while fleeing Ireland in the 1600s, rumors of Elijah's arrival reaching her.

She whispers the words like a prayer while hiding in Shanghai, huddled beneath the floor of Pearl's home as Klaus's men walk above her.

The night she narrowly escapes immolation in Mystic Falls, Katherine is running down the road when she comes across the bodies of the brothers who loved her. They will rise the next day, and she wants to wait, wants to take them with her, wants someone to keep her company.

But then she hears movement in the woods, and self-preservation kicks in.

One-hundred-and-forty-five years later, when Klaus compels her to deliver the blood to Damon and leave the apartment, the words reappear, pounding in her brain. The moment Damon has been saved, she steps out into the moonlight, inhales deeply, and begins to move.

Run fast. Run far. Don't get caught.

This prompt was so Katherine. She's always on the run and doesnt care who she leaves behind. Thanks for this.

When I first read the prompt, I immediately thought of Katherine, so I'm glad you felt the same.
