Thank you so much for the reviews, follows and favourites, I love hear what you think of my story the good and bad so please keep it up
Chapter 2: some people just want to watch the burn
To say that Ava Mikaelson was reeling from what happened the day and night before with Landon Kirby would be an understatement as Wyatt could feel the anger radiating from her from the other side of the dorm room they shared at their school as he began to worry about what she would do as he thought about how she had barely slept the night before due to her constant tossing and turning since he knew that her brain would be hard to turn off after everything that had happened between Landon flirting with her before kissing her to him stealing a knife leading to the bus had been on being incinerated including everything and everyone on it. Soon Wyatt decided to see how she was to find that she was no longer in bed but rather standing by the window in their room now fully dressed as she wore a white tank top underneath a white and blue striped short sleeved shirt that she left open, a pair of ripped jeans which were rolled up at the ankles to show off her black Chelsea boots. She also wore her long blonde waves in a two loose braids, she also wore light brown smoked eye makeup with a beige lipstick. Wyatt slowly got out of bed to look out of the window to see what was capturing her attention so much as he realised the jocks from the local Mystic Falls high school were vandalising one of their vans as he remembered that they were due to play against the stallions which was their schools team later that day
" you know I should go there and make them pay for that" Wyatt said knowing that the two schools had long and hard rival when it came to playing sports and to working along side each other
" please don't, one of being in trouble is enough for now otherwise mom or dad will be here yelling at us before we know it" Ava said moving away from the window as she thought about their reaction
" you know you really didn't have to take all of the blame for using dark magic to track Landon down, although I'm sure Josie and Lizzie appreciate it" Wyatt said thinking about how Ava had said it was her alone who did it
" I kind of pushed Josie into doing it and Lizzie would have done it if it meant being with you for a while, I felt bad. Plus Landon was my fault, I deserve to take the blame" Ava said making her bed as she talked
" yeah but I'm not sure that mean that you deserve a meeting with Emma Tig, the most annoying guidance counsellor ever" Wyatt said knowing that neither of them liked her perky attitude
" that's true, I could really do with that but it could be worse and we both know that" Ava said thinking about how Emma or Alaric could ace called one of their parents to tell them about their use of dark magic
" so what's the plan?" Wyatt said as he headed over to his wardrobe as he began to pick cloths out of the day as he looked over at his desk chair where his clothes for the football later sat waiting for him
" for Emma? To be as honest as I can be to get the hell out there as quickly as I can, I'm not in the mood for her psychologically babble about my inner soul" Ava said with an edge to he voice that Wyatt didn't like
" I actually meant for Landon and the knife but it's good to see you have a plan for that too although you might want to take it down a notch or two" Wyatt said knowing that this situation was getting to her
" well I'm going to try a normal tracking spell or something to work out where he is and track him down... then we'll see" Ava said knowing that she had already planned ahead for how she was going to deal with Landon
" hopefully that'll be sooner rather than later so we could get past all of this and get the knife back" Wyatt said wondering what the knife could do or why it held supernatural importance to their history
" yeah, although I wonder why the knife. Like we know nothing about it so why that object out of everything else in the library?" Ava said knowing that it was one thing that had been bugging her
" I don't know, maybe he knew more about it then we do or maybe he felt connected to it. I mean it would made sense if he was supernatural right?" Wyatt said knowing there was a lot they didn't know about Landon
" I don't know, it's possible though I guess but it depends on what supernatural being he is" Ava said wondering if that was the case then someone at the school would have learned about the knife before now
" I guess it's one of the things that we can ask him when we catch him" Wyatt said knowing that she would notice his use of the word when instead of if since he knew that they didn't have an option
" yeah because that what I want to do when we catch him... have a nice little chat with the liar who stole from us. I should go before Emma comes looking for me" Ava said after checking the time
" well a fun therapy session with the weirdo quack. If you want to talk afterwards then I'll be about getting ready for the game today" Wyatt said before she nodded and left their room to go downstairs
Soon Ava found herself in the familiar office of the school guidance counsellors office as she looked around thinking about the amount of times that she had been here over the years since Emma always wanted to check in make sure she was okay which would be nice if it didn't sound so patronising to Ava and make her what to want to throw up with how perky Emma could be. Ava had already tried every trick in the book when it came to Emma's sessions from not speaking to being withdrawn and snarky however this time she had decided to go with the truth and just go with how she was feeling as she sat across of Emma as she looked over to where the window in the office was
" 'no legacy is so rich as honesty'. When Shakespeare wrote that, he obviously didn't know what I know about teenage boys" Ava said thinking about how teenage boys become something else
" what do you mean?" Emma said wondering where she was going with this one since she knew that there was always something more than what Ava was saying as she tried to work her game out
" well I mean I know there are guys with integrity who lead with truth and everything but I've just never met any of them except for Wyatt and my dad, they don't count so..." Ava said thinking about Landon and Roman
" I see you've decided to double down on your nihilism this morning" Emma said noting her attitude this morning as she began to wonder if she should talk to Wyatt about his sister and her current behaviour
" I'm trying to follow Shakespeare's advice and be rich with honesty" Ava said being blunt as she changed her attention from the window to Emma as she wished she could leave as soon as possible
" why don't you start from the beginning?" Emma said knowing that Ava definitely had a story or two to tell although she wondered which story she would get today depending on her current mood
" of my short lived but horrific romances with liars? I mean is it consider a plural when it's just two, two very bad experiences" Ava said knowing that she tended to keep her heart close to her chest to protect it
" I was thinking more of your decision to perform black magic on school grounds last night" Emma said knowing that this was the real reason for the meeting although she liked to check in with the twins
" maybe we could hold off on this little chat until I catch the guy I was trying to find by using black magic, I mean that was the whole reason why I used it" Ava said wondering why she was being picked on
" why are you focused on finding Landon Kirby?" Emma said knowing this couldn't just be about him lying to her or messing with her head as she knew that was usually a trigger for her to act out
" because the longer that Landon Kirby is out there then the greater the chance is that he'll tell people about this school and the weird people that go to it" Ava said trying to protect everyone inside it
" you know there's a beacon that alerts me when someone uses black magic, you knew you'd be caught" Emma said wondering why Ava would continue to go through with it despite this knowledge
" maybe I figured that I could do find him and apologise later when it worked. We lost the trail and now I'm being interrogated like I'm the criminal but go ahead, take your time. I mean it's like I have anything better to do" Ava said showing that she was getting more and more on edge
" did anyone with the spell? Like Wyatt or Cassie?" Emma said knowing that her brother was usually her go to when it came to getting into trouble and using magic together since they were stronger together
" no, Wyatt was busy with Lizzie Saltzman at the time and I'd never involve Cassie in black magic" Ava said knowing that she wanted to keep her baby sister as sweet and innocent as she was just now
" Ava, you're a student meaning this isn't your fight" Emma said knowing that she had a habit of picking fights where they were none or putting herself in the middle of them whether she should or shouldn't
" it's absolutely my fight, Emma. Landon was here because of me, he had access to the knife he stole because of me, we're at risk of exposure because of me and you can tell me that it's because complicated family issues or whatever if says in my file but I'm going to track him down" Ava said making it more of a warning than anything else
" and what happens when you do?" Emma said seeing that she was clearly not thinking about peaceful methods to make him pay for lying to her and stealing from the school like he had last night
" hey, I'm sorry to interrupt because I know this is important but I have possible location on Landon" Alaric said after he knocked on the door since he knew this was where Ava would be right now
" oh what a shame, I have to go but don't feel the need for a follow up appointment" Ava said full of sarcastic and boredom as she stood up from the chair as quickly as she could before Emma protested
" I'm guessing that your appointment with Emma went as well as they always go" Alaric said knowing that sometimes he wished that Ava needed someone to talk to that wasn't someone related to her
" yeah you're the one who keeps assigning me to see her so... is Wyatt coming too or is he staying to play in the game? I mean we're going to find him today right?" Ava said as her mind began to race
" yeah we're going to day and if Wyatt wants to come then he can which judging from your current mood, I'm thinking that he probably will" Alaric said noticing that something about her seemed off
" in that case, I'll meet you in the car because I just can't deal with this amount of school spirit today" Ava said wincing at the amount of school cheer and colours that was going around them just now
" I'll bring coffee and see if Cassie has been baking so that we might have something that will perk you up a little" Alaric said before they went their separate ways as he wondered was going on with her
Ava tried to avoid as many people as she possible could as she could feel her eyes rolling to the back of her head by the amount of times she had rolled her eyes at the amount of school pride the school were showing for a football game that they were going to lose since they all lost on purpose in order to seem like a normal school despite how much they hated the Mystic Falls high schoolers and wanted to nest them just once to shut them up. All of this made her look forward to being able to sit in silence on her own in the car before Alaric and Wyatt caught up for her since it would give her a moment alone to sort out her feelings and thoughts that were currently swirling around in her head however when she got to Alaric's car that was currently sitting outside of the school, she saw a set of legs coming out from underneath it as she wondered who it was and what they were doing.
" seriously? Just one moment alone is all I wanted... hello?" Ava said as she kicked the feet belonging to the legs underneath the car as she wondered who it was as she decided not to be nice about it
" hey, you're Ava right? You were the girl there that night they bought me here, the one that Landon likes?" Raphael said not noticing or knowing what his words would do to her as she simply nodded
" that would be me apparently. What are you doing?" Ava said wanting to get past any talk of Landon liking her since it just made what he did sting and made her want to make him pay for it just grow
" adjusting the sway bar" Raphael said showing her the tools as if it explained everything as he wondered if her tough icily attitude was just for show or if it was who she was really was inside
" this may be a dumb question but was it broken?" Ava said knowing that he was their main suspect to try and stop them from going after Landon since he was his best friend making her think this was his move
" it is now. Listen you're going after Landon so if you want this car to work then I'm going with you" Raphael said trying to think of everything he had heard about the Mikaelson twins and their abilities
" you're trying to make a deal with me? Force my hand into letting you come with us? It's not going to happen, you stay out of it. Your friend is a liar and thief" Ava said with pure undeniable anger in her voice
" come on, he took a stupid knife" he said thinking that her reaction to what Landon did was a little unwarranted and overkill as he thought about how he had just taken something completely worthless
" nothing in this school is a stupid anything or did the werewolves and vampires walking around school grounds tell you that this wasn't a normal school?" She said wondering how he didn't get the urgency
" look he's my best friend and you... well you seem vengeful" Raphael said thinking that Ava looked like a little blonde ball of anger and fire as he thought that despite her small height she could defend herself
" do I now? Maybe that has something to do with what Landon did after he left here, let me show you something. Close your eyes" she said gently placing her hands in his temples to show him the scene on the bus
" what the hell was that?" Raphael said recoiling away from her slightly as he tried to process what he had just seen as he looked at her seeing that she wasn't fazed by what she had just seen at all
" your best friend did that to a bus full of people on route 29 last night and right now I am the only who knows how to find him so me the stupid engine thingy" Ava said beginning to lose her temper with him
" no, I am not getting you go and do god knows what to Landon. I am coming with you otherwise I keep the engine thingy and you stay here" Raphael said taking a step closer in an attempt to intimidate her
" you do not want to test me! You know I have actual magical powers right?" Ava said thinking about the nifty little spell that Bonnie Bennett had taught that caused werewolves and vampires to get bad headaches
" and I have a long history of anger issues" Raphael said showing Ava that he only knew about her witchy side and not her other side including her werewolf side as he thought he was more dangerous
" but you're not the only here who with that particular history in their file and I really hope that wasn't a threat towards my sister" Wyatt said from behind Raphael now wearing a pair of black ripped and a red tshirt along with a simple grey hoodie as he wondered what he had walked in on
" he can come" Alaric said following behind Wyatt with a bag full of his hunting thing that he usually kept in his office since he had no idea what they would need but he liked be prepared just in case
" I'm sorry he can what?" Ava said really wishing that he had said anything other than that since she couldn't be bothered with being around someone she didn't know or trust with everything else going on
" he knows Landon, he'll be an asset and we need all the help we can get so fix the car and hop in... oh and put a shirt on, she's the wrong kind of girl for you to try and impress with your muscles" Alaric said to Raphael knowing that Ava didn't fall in love especially with pretty boys like him
" we leave you alone for one minute and you get into a fight almost immediately, is that like a special talent of yours?" Wyatt said knowing that she seemed more hostile than normal as they got into the car
" must be what makes me so special, please tell me Cassie made her famous peanut butter cookies?"Ava said knowing that the only thing to keep her going was her little sister's baking
Wyatt spend the whole car ride there talking to Ava about Cassie and their little brother Nate who had recently sent them a picture along with their monthly care packages from their parents since he wanted to make her feel slightly happier if not lighter since she seemed hell bent on revenge and finding Landon in a way that was definitely worrying him right now as he caught the dark look that would come across her face when she thought no one was looking. Soon Alaric stopped by the woods near route 29 where they had found the burned bus that Landon has been on as they all got out of the car as Ava looked around trying to wonder why Landon stayed in the area of the scene of his crime rather than running for this as Wyatt voiced her concerns.
" I don't get it, I mean why is he still out here when he has a whole day ahead of us and could be anywhere" Wyatt said as they headed into the woods to start looking for signs of Landon
" that's what I was thinking too, maybe he's gotten cocky and doesn't think that we'll find him or even look here" Ava said as she swept a rogue piece of blonde hair out of her eyes as she walked
" maybe he's still out here because he doesn't have a reason to run" Raphael said trying to defend Landon who had always protected him and looked for him since they both knew what it was like be a foster kid
" logic that would be perfectly believable if he hadn't... you know ran" Ava said sounding bored of the conversation as she spoke with such sarcasm that she could give their mom a run for her money
" wait... shh, do you hear that? Someone's here" Alaric said as he began to hear the sound of someone walking on the crunchy fall leaves as he began to towards the noise as they all looked at each other
"I'm assuming we've to run after him. Why is it I am always wearing skinny jeans when he does this?" Wyatt said before all three of them began to run in the same direction as Alaric had to catch up with him
" guys, easy now... it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you" Alaric said as he tried to slow them down as they saw that he had found a woman since he didn't want them to scare the woman away
" were you on the bus? Can you tell us what happened? Is she a survivor? " Wyatt asked the woman wondering if she could shed some light on what happened and if it was Landon's fault or not
" smells like it, do you smell that? She reeks of smoke" Raphael said looking to Wyatt who he assumed was a werewolf as Wyatt tried to suppress a smirk at the fact he was oblivious to Ava's werewolf status
" I think she's in shock, look I need to get her to the police so she can get some medical attention. Why don't you three go ahead?" Alaric said knowing that they wouldn't just go back to the car and wait
" what if we find Landon?" Wyatt said knowing that he was more likely to follow orders than Ava was right now as he knew that she already had plans for what to do if they found landon but not what
" don't engage, we don't know how dangerous Landon is... and for Ava and Raphael's sake, I'll repeat don't engage" Alaric said knowing that Ava wasn't one for listening to orders if she had a better idea
" he's not dangerous, I know Landon and he wouldn't hurt a fly... what exactly happened on that bus?" Raphael said wondering if there were any signs that it was Landon who caused the bus to go up in flame
" no one really knows, it's like something incinerated it from the inside. It was horrible" Wyatt said thinking about the sight they had seen on the bus as she thought about all of the innocent people
" look wherever he did, I know there's a good explanation" Raphael said showing that he had way more faith in Landon than either of them had for him as he wondered why Ava seemed hellbent on finding him
" why? What makes you so sure that he's such a good and a complete slim ball like he seems?" Ava said as she stopped walking and turned her anger into him as she wondered what he knew that she didn't
" he's the most loyal friend that I've ever had, he was there for me on the worst day of my life. After my girlfriend died, he was the only thing that kept me going" Raphael said remembering the guilt he felt
" we understand what it feels like to take a life by accident, I can't imagine what it'd be like to have it be someone you love" Wyatt said thinking about how they didn't know the man they had killed
" just let me get that knife back for you and then we can hear him out okay?" Raphael said more to Ava than to Wyatt since she seemed less likely to let Landon speak his truth before jumping the gun
" I appreciate the passion but maybe you should exert some of it to making new friends, preferably ones that aren't going to lie or steal from us" Ava said without any emotion making Wyatt worry
" so I can be as popular and as well liked as you? You know I've been at the school for two days and I've already heard all about you, Ava Mikaelson, and you're sunny disposition" Raphael said viciously
" hey easy now, like you've said you've been at the school for two days and you know nothing about us or what we've been through so until you do then you can't judge us or her" Wyatt said stepping in
" I'll get you the stupid not stupid knife and the answers you want, I promise" Raphael said with the same tensity and anger in his voice as before despite his words seeming softer and kinder almost
" and why should I believe you?" Ava said knowing that she wasn't about to make the same mistake twice when it came to unknown random teenage determined to learn from her past mistakes
" because I don't lie" Raphael said simply since he sensed that this was some kind of deal breaker for her as he thought about what Wyatt had said about him not knowing what had happened in their past
" that's what you're going with... come on, everybody lies but if you want to prove you're different then go ahead. He's in the root cellar, you have three minutes to do this your way" Ava said pointing behind her
" wait, the headmaster said don't engage" Raphael said showing that he was still very new to the school by being worried about what Alaric would do to them for disobeying his orders on this one
" 2.59, 2.58, 2.57..." Ava said as she looked at her phone as she set the timer on it and began to count down to show him that he was wasting time that he could be spending talking to his best friend
" dude, I'd go if I was you because she is not messing around right now" Wyatt said knowing that he'd be lucky if he even got his three minutes as Raphael took the hint and began to run into the cellar
" he should really be less trusting and start asking the right questions like what we are, that way he'd know that we would be listening in" Ava said gesturing to her ears for him to use his werewolf hearing
" Raf? Holy hell, how did you find me?" Landon said below hem as they used their supernatural hearing to listen in for the best time to enter and make their move as they stood by the root cellar door
" well at least we know that the little liar is in there for sure now" Ava said shaking her head as she thought about how she had been somewhat trying to convince herself that he hadn't done all of this
" what is going on with you? And don't spin some crap with me about how this is about him stealing from the school because it's more than that" Wyatt said finally having enough of her attitude
" maybe I just don't like being lied to or people messing with my head like boys seemed to think is okay... last night after you left us alone, Landon kissed me then stole the knife and ran" Ava said explaining what all of this stung a little
" there's a lot of crazy witchy people looking for you including that Ava girl that you apparently like so much and there's a bus full of burned up people-" Raphael said remembering how he would talk about her
" yeah but Aves... Landon isn't Roman and every guy isn't out break your heart" Wyatt said knowing that Roman had done some amount of damage to her since she blamed herself for what happened
" that wasn't me!" Landon said remembering how he had seen the bus burst into flames as e ran from it after the knife had began to glow as he wondered how Raphael knew about that or why he thought it was him
" that sounds our cue" Ava said rather than replying back to his comment about Roman or guys breaking her heart as she knew that they had way mor pressing issues to deal with than her heart
" fine but this isn't over...if it wasn't you then who was it?" Wyatt said entering the root cellar first in case things took a turn for the worst since his first instinct was always to protect his twin from danger
" wait, you said three minutes" Raphael said since he had barely had a chance to even try things his way yet as he saw the anger and the pain flash through Ava's face before she was able to compose herself
" yeah well like I said people lie... corpomis impetu" Ava said using her magic to pin Landon up against the root cellar wall without really giving him time to respond to Wyatt's question about the knife
" Ava, you coming on a little strong don't you think? What happened to using yours words and not magic?" Wyatt said trying to use humour to cover how bad this was as he used the same phrase their mom would tell them as kids with powers
" where's the knife?" Ava said ignoring the other s as she kept her sole focus on Landon as she reminded herself that he would probably say anything he could to get away from her magical grip
" I don't have it, I must've dropped it when I ran" Landon said wondering how this could be the same sweet girl with the tough exterior from last night that he had been so desperate to kiss now full of hate
" you seriously expect me to believe that? I mean was that before or after you burnt the bus?" Ava said since she ad noticed that he hadn't really denied that as much as he had to still having the knife
" that wasn't me I swear, I barely got out alive" Landon said thinking about how if he hadn't decided to run away from the bus in time then he would have ended up just like the other people on the bus
" Wyatt, do something! Come on, Ava" Raphael said trying everything he could to try and get Ava to let him go as he watched how Wyatt stood still watching his sister carefully as he wondered what he was doing
" last chance then who the hell was it?" Ava said stepping closer to where Landon was currently being pinned to wall as she showed that she wasn't messing around as they all wondered what she would do next
" Ava, I'm telling you the truth okay? I wouldn't lie, not to you... there was this girl" Landon said thinking about how he had never forgotten her or forgotten his feelings that he had for the mysterious girl
" Ava, let him go now!... wait, you're saying that a girl did that to the bus? She what? Breathed fire?" Wyatt said as he broke Ava's focus on her magic causing Landon to slump down to the floor
" that's exactly what she did, the knife began to glow so I ran and that's when it happened" Landon said as Raphael crouched done to where he was sitting to make sure he was okay after begin pinned
" I don't believe anything you say" Ava said refusing to let herself to fall into that trap again as she began to shake her head and pace slightly as she knew that he would try to worm his way back in
" Ava, you have every right to be mad at me but I am telling you the truth! Come on, man. Help me out here" Landon said begging Raphael to help him out as he tried to step closer to Ava for her to step back
" I believe him" Raphael said knowing that he could see Landon's pain over the fact that Ava didn't believe him and was clearly hostile towards him as he knew that Landon wasn't the person she was making him out to be
" you believe him that a fire breathing woman burned the bus alive? I'm sorry but do you know how rare that is?" Wyatt said knowing that there were certain types of witches that were extinct now
" and Landon just happened to be speared in order to tell us this little tale?" Ava said thinking that it was all a little too convenient for her liking as she noticed how Wyatt had placed himself in front of her
" he told you that he ran" Raphael said wondering why she was so focused on trying to make him into the bad guy and ignore everything that he was saying to support the fact that he was innocent
" and he conveniently lost the knife on the way here?" Ava said as she tried to confront them as she aggressively walked up to them before being gently pushed back by Wyatt who was trying to calm her down
" she kept coming at me like she was going take it from me, she was burning everything in her path" Landon said with the same amount of passion as he tried to get closer to her as Raphael held him back
" you want to explain to me what you were doing stealing the knife in the first place?" Ava said refusing to back off as Wyatt and Raphael held them back as they exchanged a look of concern at his tense this was getting
" I don't even remember stealing it and I remember everything that happened last night" Landon said discreetly hunting to the fact that he remembered how they had had a moment and the perfect kiss
" of course you don't, how about pretending to be compelled and leaving anyway?" Ava said as Wyatt realised that him leaving didn't help her feel any less hurt or abandoned as it all began to make sense
" that was to avoid being thrown back in the werewolf dungeon!" Landon said wondering why she was pursuing him so hard and why things between them were so heated as they fought against the other
" I know you're upset and everything and you both have this grr thing going on but it's actually a transitional cellar" Wyatt said trying to use humour to lighten the mood slightly since it was tense
" still a small space, he has a thing about small spaces" Ava said in a small voice as some of the fight left her as she thought about what he had said about his past involving his old foster families
" Ava, you have to understand that Dr Saltzman has already told me that the school wasn't going to let me stay and if he thought that I'd talk then he'd lock me back up. There wasn't a good ending for me but I did not want to steal from you and I don't want a fire breather chasing me, I'm sorry for all of it and for hurting you" Landon said getting softer and softer the more he talked
" listen he's not lying, I know him so if he says that there's a fire breathing woman running through the woods then there's a-" Raphael said backing Landon up as he noticed the way Ava and Landon were looking at each other
" there's a fire breathing woman running in the woods... wait, did I or did not say don't engage?" Alaric said running into the root cellar interrupting Raphael and accidentally backing up Landon's claims
" it's fine, he's only dangerous if crappy apologies and excuse can kill otherwise I think we're good" Ava said taking a step away from Landon as she thought about what had just happened between them
" looks can be deceiving which is something I've just learned I guess" Alaric said thinking about how he had thought that he was safe with the woman right until she was trying to steal his phone and watch
" what is going on? I mean are we really saying there's a fire breathing woman out there?" Wyatt said as he noticed that Ava had decided to move closer to him which meant future away from Landon
" turns out that our bus refugee is a pryromancer" Alaric said more to Wyatt and Ava since he knew that they would know what that meant more than Landon or Raphael would since they're newer
" what's a pryromancer?" Landon said looking to Ava for answers since she was still the person that he trusted when it came to the three of them and when it came to all of this supernatural things
" a fire breathing witch... oh my god, Ric! She wants the knife" Ava said as the realisation hit her as she began to connect the pieces of the puzzle in her head as she looked between Alaric and Wyatt
" okay, well where is it?" Alaric said looking between the four teenagers hopping that one of them would hand over the knife since the image of the woman breathing fire at him was still in his head
" I lost it in the woods, I was running around in circles all night trying to find a place to hide" Landon said known that he had spent his night worry that the fire breathing lady was going to find him
" well then let's find it before she does... woah guys, stop! Look, we don't want any trouble" Alaric said as they headed outside to try and find the knife before seeing that she was waiting for them as he tried to protect the teens
" what does she want?" Raphael soda as the woman opened her hand and thrust it towards Landon as if expecting him to place something into it making them all wonder what was going on now
" I don't know" Landon said unconvincingly as Ava rolled her eyes at his last attempt to lie to them as she realised what was going on as she knew that she couldn't trust anyone who wasn't her family
" maybe she wants the knife you said you don't have... you want to tell me one more time about how he's telling the truth?" Ava said first to Landon then to Raphael as if to prove her previous point
" ummm I think we have bigger issues to fry right now... by the way that was an accidental pun" Wyatt said as he noticed that there was something going on with the woman as her anger increased
" back in the the cellar... go, go,go" Alaric said as he ushered the teens back into the cellar as he recognised the familiar signs of the witch about to use her fire breathing powers on them
" where the hell is it? You're better telling me than Ava because something tells me that she is ready to kill you at this point" Wyatt said knowing that his sister had a thing about people lying and betraying her
" I'm sorry I panicked" Landon said handing the knife over as Raphael looked at his best friend as if he suddenly didn't know who he was since he had been saying all day how loyal and trustworthy he was
" what the hell, Lan?" Raphael said not being able to believe what was going on with his best friend as he wondered what had gotten into him since all of this seemed like him anymore as he looked to Ava
" Ava, the doors. We should do it together, it'll help boost the magic and make the spell stronger" Wyatt said seeing that the fire was beginning to burn through the door as he worried about the witch
" adiucatur... okay so that's a quick fix and it won't last long so we need to figure out our next move soon" Ava said as her and Wyatt used their combined magic to make the fire disappear and restore the door
" all right, I need a cell phone" Alaric said knowing that he needed to call Dorian to try and figure out make about this witch including how they should deal with her since he was at a lost on how to do it
" take your pick" Landon said before gesturing over to the pile of weird and random possession of people including cell phones as they all turned to look at him wondering how much they really knew
" what is all of this?" Wyatt said as he walked over to the makeshift table to get a better look at the weird collection of items as he wondered what the point was of stealing someone else's ID
" it's from the people on the bus" Raphael said as he looked at one of the ID card as he recognise the man looking back at him from the memory that Ava had shown him o Landon being on the bus before
" I didn't bring it here, I-" Landon said beginning to protest his innocence before Ava cut him with her sharp tongue and deadly look as Wyatt realised that whatever calmness she had been in before was over now
" I am warning you if he says 'I swear' one more time, I'm going to melt him" Ava said to Raphael said as Wyatt took that as his hint to take her as far away from everyone else as he could in the small space
" hey it's me, please tell me you have something" Alaric said to Dorian on the phone which he placed on speaker phone for those who didn't have supernatural hearing as he knew they needed to go
" connection sucks, where are you?" Dorian said since he was struggling to hear him clearly as he wondered if he was underground or in a cave or somewhere with terrible cell phone service
" a root cellar full of contraband that our pickpocket Landon Kirby claims he didn't steal since he apparently he doesn't steal except all of this is happening because he stole" Ava said fed up of the lies
" there's a fire breathing witch outside, can you prioritise your rage?" Raphael said as he thought about the amount of damage she would be able to do with all that rage if she focused it not the right people
" how about you focus on your wayward teen and I'll focus on mine okay?" Wyatt said not liking the way that Raphael was talking to Ava as he thought about how she was just trying to protect herself
" dragon... she's a dragon! She steals treasure, breathes fire, hides loot in her liar. She isn't a pryromancer, she's a-" Dorian said all of a sudden as he brought the conversation back on topic
" dragons don't exist or look like normal people" Alaric said thinking that this suggestion from him was ridiculous since there had to be somethings that didn't exist even in their word of the bizarre and weird
" there was a time that we would have said that vampires don't exist" Dorian said knowing that there was a lot that they were all still ignorant about when it came to the world that they lived in
" a lot of people still think we're a myth or that our kind is" Wyatt said thinking about how being a tribrid was still rare enough to be considered impossible since the others were all related to him like Ava was
" Okay fine, she's a human dragon. Now what?" Alaric said reluctantly agreeing that what he was saying was true although he still doubted it since it still seemed impossible even for them
" in anything I've ever read-" Dorian said trying to come with some solutions to how they could handle a dragon as he wished once again that he had better resources so that he had a wider range to search
" in fiction!" Alaric said knowing that he hadn't come across anything in his life as a history teacher that ever pointed to the fact that dragons were real as he couldn't believe that this was happening
" the way to take down a dragon... well you'll need a buttload of courage and a sword" Dorian said as Ava looked to the knife that Wyatt was holding as she realised everything came back to that knife
" what about a knife? I think I have an idea, I can go out and use my magic against her long enough for the werewolves of the group to knock her out and stab her with this" Ava said leaving Landon out of it
" seems as good as anything else we're going to come up with, go ahead but be careful" Alaric said as he moved aside for Ava to walk out of the root cellar to face the dragon long enough for the others to come
" hey! Didn't anyone ever tell you that smoking bad for you?... I know quitting is hard, scutan!... thank god, it took you long enough" Ava said as she used her magic to distract the dragon long enough for Raphael to hit her with a rock
" sorry, I couldn't find a rock" Raphael said as he turned to her as if it explained why he had been late in arriving for his part if the plan as she wondered if that meant that Wyatt was going to be late for his part
" seriously? There's literally a lair full of heavy objects and you're searching the woods for a stupid rock? Boys are dumb" Ava said rolling her eyes as she thought about how narrow minded he was
" Ava, not the thing to focus on right now. Do your thing!" Raphael said as he noticed that the dragon was starting to get up as Raphael realised that she was so focused on everyone else's flaws
" I got it, just leave the magic to me and I'll leave whatever it is you do to you" Ava said before using her magic to throw the dragon back again in time for Wyatt to come it of the root cellar along with knife
" you should seriously talk to Emma about your social skills and team work during your next appointment" Wyatt said as coming out and using the knife to stab the dragon as part of this plan
" thank you, I'll make sure to raise those issues and who said I had a next appointment?" Ava said knowing that she would refuse if someone suggested that she keep seeing Emma every single day
" come on, there's always a next appointment where we're concerned" Wyatt said knowing that Emma always made it a point to try and reach out to them to make sure that they didn't feel or think they were alone
" you three all right? Well done, we should give her a proper burial so see if any of you can find a shovel" Alaric said looking down at the woman as he took the knife out as he knew she deserved that much
" umm Ric, your borrowed phone is buzzing and I'm willing to bet that it's our worried researcher" Ava said knowing that Dorian never let anything go that seemed fascinating to him which this was
" hey, I found it. There's a soft spot, that's how you kill it" Dorian said as he looked up from his book hoping that the team were doing everything they could to fulfil their yearly game plan of losing
" well a knife in the heart did the trick" Alaric said looking down to their currently dead dragon lady which he still refused to believe that was what she was since it seemed so unlikely and ridiculous
" huh okay, so much for research" Dorian said as he thought about how he would spend his life hidden away in his books if he could researching all things supernatural that he didn't yet know about
" wait, what were you reading? Game of thrones?" Wyatt said after watching Ava, Raphael and Landon head back into the root cellar to look for a shovel as he decided to hold back to hear the rest of this
" puff the magic dragon actually" Dorian said making them both laugh since they knew that rehire wasn't a lot of information to research when it came to dragons and on how to defeat them
" look this is just doesn't make any sense, it has got to be something else... nope, it's a dragon all right. I've got to call you back" Alaric said as he turned his attention back to the woman to see it replaced with a dragon
" you have got to be kidding me? This cannot be real" Wyatt said unable to believe the imagine in front of him as he thought about how his auntie Rebekah would tell him stories about princesses and dragons
" Wyatt, Ric? What's goin- oh my god" Ava said after her magic had sense that something was going on as she ran up the stairs to the door of the root cellar followed by Raphael and Landon to see the dragon flying
" was that a-..." Landon said finding himself still stunned by the world that he suddenly found himself in as he thought about how his best friend was now a werewolf and his crush was a mysterious tribrid
" a dragon? Yeah and not a human one like the one from before but an actual fire breathing flying dragon" Wyatt said wondering what had caused its transformation from human to dragon form
" you guys should go, get to the car and get out of here" Ava said turning to Landon as she began to worry about him despite the fact that she didn't want to as she knew that he was the most at risk here
" us, why? Shouldn't we all get out of here?" Landon said stepping closer to her as he resisted the urge to touch her waist since he felt the need to bring comfort to them both simply by touching her
" not really, we're more equipped to dealing with this than you two are which is saying something because this is beyond even us" Wyatt said thinking that this was weird even for them to see
" plus you're human and the one that she wanted since you had the knifes Landon... I couldn't stand it if something happened you and I didn't try to prevent it" Ava said trying to play it cooler than she felt
" what will you two do then?" Raphael said to Wyatt and Ava since it seemed like they had a plan or at least an idea as he knew that Landon was able to pitch up a fit about leaving Ava behind after that comment
" I have an idea, I mean she wants the knife so she's going to be back" Ava said knowing that she would be ready for her when she did as she thought about the spell that was currently in her pocket
" all right, you two go to the car and I'll meet you there... you wake up with a death wise or something?" Alaric said looking to Ava as he knew that something had been off about her all day
" maybe but that might just be the thing that saves us" Ava said knowing that she was definitely not thinking the way that she usually did as she thought about how she had planned to use this spell
" all right, it's coming back so now what?" Alaric said as he notified that Wyatt looked to be as much as in the dark about her plan on how to deal with the dragon as he was right now as he wondered why
" now you should take cover" Wyatt said knowing that while he didn't know the plan that his sister had in store for them that Alaric should be protected since he knew that he had to do it for Lizzie's sake
" then tell us what we're meant to explain to your daughters that all that's left of you is hot ash?" Ava said knowing that she was definitely playing the dirt card by bringing Lizzie and Josie into this
" the Dad card? That's a low blow but fine, just be careful please" Alaric said thinking about the phone call he would have to make to Peyton or Klaus to inform them of of their children's death if this went wrong
" you mind telling me what the plan is because clearly it's something bad?"Wyatt said knowing that Ava had wanted Alaric away from them for more than just his safety as he wondered how bad it was
" yeah it's bad and he really wouldn't approve of us using this. I mean if the knife didn't work then maybe the death spell will" Ava said taking the page from her dark spell book out to show him
" the death spell?! Are you kidding me?... fine, it's not like we have a lot of choices but later we are going to talk about this" Wyatt said wondering why she just had the death spell in her pocket
" tenebris anima vestra contundito mortom et canteret spiritum, frange vitam nalite corde et terra esse ad. tenebris anima vestra contundito mortom et canteret spiritum, frange vitam nalite corde et terra esse ad" they said together as they held hands and began to chat as the dragon got closer to them
" Ava? Ava! Come on, wake up... where did you come from? Why do you want this so badly? What's do special about it? Say something!" Wyatt said getting roe desperate after his twin passed out after the spell
" not the time for talking, Wyatt. What's wrong with Ava?" Alaric said after stabbing the dragon just under chin as he noticed that she was laying on the ground passed out from whatever spell they did
" I don't know, she just passed out after the spell. I think it was too much for her but her werewolf healing should kick in soon" Wyatt said hoping and praying that he was right about that last part
" very true so you can both stop worrying about me because I'm fine which is more than I can say for her, I guess that was the soft spot huh?" Ava said as she scrambled to her feet with the help of Wyatt
" you could say that.. hey, what is this? This is earth magic, guys!" Alaric said as he picked up the page from the spell book that she had dropped after passing out as Wyatt knew this was going to be bad
" this wasn't an earth magic problem and you should know that Wyatt didn't know anything about it, he only performed the spell to help me out" Ava said knowing she hadn't been fair to her brother
" damn right I didn't know anything about it otherwise I would have talked you out of it long before now" Wyatt said knowing that there were just certain types of magic that you didn't mess with
" we don't allow dark magic! It gets inside your heart and poison your mind" Alaric said thinks about all of the good witches being turned into something else entirely due to using dark magic like this
" not to mention that we always said that we wouldn't touch anything in grandma Esther's spell book or did you forget everything she did to our family?" Wyatt said knowing they had better role models
"Now I looked the other way last night cause I knew you were upset but this is a death spell... a spell you couldn't have known you'd need to use on a dragon which means you had other plans for it"Alaric said as he began to come to the realisation of what she had planned for that spell and who it was for
" seriously? You were thinking about using it on the human after everything we went through after we triggered our curse?" Wyatt said getting more angry at his sister as he wondered who she was
" he stole from us and lied, he endangered everyone at school by going there and babbling to god knows who!" Ava said almost trying to justify what she had been planning on doing to him
" Landon did something stupid maybe even evil and we won't know until we learn more but he's still a kid just like you, Ava. This constant distrust of people and paranoia, this is your father or at least how he used to be. This can't be you, I won't allow it" Alaric said thinking of how Klaus used to be before Peyton
" for once I actually agree with him. This isn't you, this isn't my sister because she would never do this to someone" Wyatt said thinking about how upset and wreck with guilt they had been over their first kill
" now I want both of you to bury her and I'll see you back at the car" Alaric said knowing that he needed a moment alone to process this as he pulled his phone to call two people who needed to know this too
Once Ava and Wyatt had finished burying the dragon lady in complete silence since Wyatt was still mad at her and Ava was thinking about what Alaric had said about her becoming the Klaus mikaelson that everyone had come to fear as well as hate over the centuries, they went back to the car where Alaric was waiting for them as they saw that Raphael and Landon were gone all except for a letter from Landon addressed to Ava as she realised that once again she had been abandoned by another guy in her life as she tried to fight back all of her anger as she climbed into the back of the car letting Wyatt ride up front for a chance since she wanted to be alone and further always from Alaric after his comment. She silently red his letter again and again on the way back to the school and snuck away to their dorm room since she wanted nothing more than to just be alone and absorb everything that happened throughout the day. Just as she was about to gather her things to go for a shower and head for bed, Wyatt came in and she knew from the look on his face that he wanted to talk about it all
" Wy, I'm exhausted and just really want this day to be over with" Ava said as she took out her blonde hair out of its braids as well as began to take off her jewellery and makeup as she talked to him
" I know but come on, you know how bad this is right? I mean using dark magic to track someone down is one thing but using a death spell is something else completely" Wyatt said sitting on his bed
" I know and I know it was maybe a little extreme but I just got so angry and I wanted to make sure that no one ever hurt me like he did again" Ava said knowing that her thinking at her plan had some serious flaws
" who? Roman or Landon? Because there was moments today where you let yourself be and if he ever comes back, I think you should explore your feelings for Landon but you can't keep letting Roman to control what happens now" Wyatt said getting fed up having the same conversation with her
" if I let myself the yeah I could probably fall head over heels for this guy, I mean I had a massive crush on him two years ago before everything happened" Ava said thinking about the her two years ago
" oh and one more thing, don't ever plan a move like that without me again. We're twins, you've got my and and I have yours" Wyatt said knowing that was the part that really hurt for him was that she didn't tell him
" we always said that we were in all of this together, that we're two sides of the same coin. I'm sorry o lost sight of that" Ava said as she walked over to him as he pulled her into a much need hug, just them there was a knock on their door
" hey I know that a lot happened today that we still need to discuss but I figured I would give you the heads up and let you know that I called your parents. They should be here in the morning" Alaric said informing them as he poked his head through the door before disappearing again leaving them stunned
