Ava groaned and pressed her sweat covered temple against the dust covered floor, this was the same cellar that they had locked Elijah in.

She scowled; she had been trapped here all night and had woken up a few hours ago. Plus she was starving for blood and food.

"FUCKING HELL LET ME OUT" Ava shrieked and stumbled towards the cellar door. And rattled the handle "LET ME OUT. LET ME OUT" she slammed her hands against the wooden frame. "PLEASE DAMON I'M SORRY" the fairy slammed her head against the door, she was desperate to get out. The petite teen's desperation soon turn to rage and anger, what the petite teen was going was the same as starving a vampire of blood. "DAMON LET ME OUT…I HATE YOU SO MUCH" she swore and kicked the door.

"LET ME OUT-"

"Honestly Ava you're making so much noise. It's a bit early for that" Ava was breathless and frowned, and cocked an eyebrow

"Stefan? Get me out" she demanded. Stefan peered through the bars and smirked

"Question though" he drawled leaning against the door "did you know what Elena and Alaric had planned for me last night?"

"Yes" she said bluntly "now let me out" she snarled.

Stefan smirked "Well consider this payback I'm not going to let you out"

Ava scowled her hands balled into fists "Stefan-"she warned "let me out-"when she heard the vampire chuckling, she canted her head to the side "Fine remember you asked for this"

Stefan turned back just in time to see the fairy raising his hand. He gasped as explosions of pains ripped through his head, with enough force to send him onto his knees.

"Ava-"Stefan choked "stop-"

"Are you going to be a good little vampire and let me out?" Ava sneered when she didn't receive a reply her finger curled up even more causing Stefan to cry out.

"OK" he roared. She relented and rolled her shoulders

"Well chop chop" she clapped her hands. Stefan scowled and easily opened the cell door,

"What I don't get a thank you?" he asked as she shoved him aside

"Be grateful that I'm not after your ass" Ava scoffed she was fuming; her anger was targeting a raven head vampire who was responsible for locking her up in the first place. Stefan grinned following after her, it was only fair he had conducted a show for her and no she was going to do the same.

"Wait" they were a couple of feet away from the parlour. Stefan's vampiric hearing could pick up the sound

"What?" she asked getting slightly impatient

"Seems like someone has beaten you to the punch" Ava frowned as Stefan took the lead heading into the parlour. The fairy trailed after him, the scene that greeted them was Damon chained to the chair with a fire poker sticking out of his chest. Damon groaned when he saw that the fairy was out.

"What the hell happened to you?" Stefan asked laughter in his tone

Damon rolled his icy blue orbs "Whatever twisted ripper game this is leave me out of this" he groaned

Ava cocked an eyebrow, seems like she didn't need to inflict pain on the vampire "I didn't do this" Stefan smirked and moved forward "It's pretty messed up though?"

"Yeah" Damon groaned when his brother yanked the metal poker out of his chest. Stefan then ripped one of the straps that held the raven head's wrist down.

"Have fun Ava" Stefan pressed the metal pole into the fairy's hand. Damon's eyes widened when Ava took a step forward so that she was standing right in front of him.

"Ya know Damon you were very mean" she pouted "locking me in a cell. I didn't like that" she shook her head.

Damon exhaled "Ava just let me out please" he murmured.

Ava nodded "Sure…I'll let you out but first I need a drink" she smirked,

Damon's jaw clenched, unknown to the pair a very dead Mason Lockwood watched the scene on in utter confusion. When he returned from the other side it was like he was stuck in a parallel universe. Stefan and Ava were two completely different people.

"Now be a dear Damon and tell me where Rebekah put the rest of the blood bags." She leant forward and lightly slapped his cheek.

Damon swallowed and took in a ragged breath, he smirked "I chucked them-"the mocking grin that was on the petite teen's face faltered

"Oh you're bluffing. Now come on tell me" she demanded her hand clenched around the pole "I am not in the mood to be messed with." She sneered.

"Well listen dear I am not messing with you" Damon growled he had forgotten about the other person in the Boarding House who would let her out. "I took every single blood bag and tore the caps off" he taunted. Ava's eyes darkened "and then I poured it down the drain. There are no more blood bags anymore. Seems like you're going to have to make due"

Ava's lips curled "You're lying" she shouted

"No I'm-"Damon yelled out in pain when the fairy stabbed him right in the chest with the metal pole that just moments ago Stefan had pulled out.

"Where are they?" Ava spat, her heart was pumping hard and fast, Damon could see that the lack of blood was already getting her on edge.

"GONE" he roared.

Ava took a step back and paused feeling something beneath her foot. Damon licked his lips anxiously; he was only trying to help his girl. But Ava didn't see it that way. He watched as she scooped something up, a wide smirk came on to her face when she realised she was holding a very special ring. "Last warning Damon. Where are they?"

Damon remained tight lipped, the petite teen tutted and much to Mason's shock she threw the daylight ring across the room way out of reach.

"You asked for this" Ava smirked; she was incensed with uncontrollable rage. How could he do this to her? She wanted to make him suffer.

"Ava what are you doing?" he asked beginning to panic when she stalked towards the windows which at the moment was being covered by curtains.

"Where are they? Did you really throw them or-"

"They're gone" with a growl Ava threw the curtains apart bringing sunlight into the room. A dark smile appeared on her face when she heard Damon screaming in pain. She was intent on finding those blood bags and would rip the house apart to find them. She needed them and more-so she wanted them, Ava craved for blood.

"Good luck Damon" the fairy sneered and much to Mason's astonishment Ava turned on her heel and left. The werewolf took pity on the vampire and closed the curtains. Damon's eyes snapped open and swallowed. Perhaps locking Ava up had pushed her even more over the edge.


Ava let out a cry of rage; she picked up the expensive vase and threw it across the room. "Fucks sake" she muttered, the fairy had been slowly demolishing the rooms in the Boarding House trying in vain to find any blood bags. The petite blond was out for blood. Ava threw something else across the room yelled out in rage.

"Are you done with your tantrum yet?" Stefan smirked from the doorway. She spun around she was livid

"Don't mess with me" she growled and clutched her head, she was thirsty so thirsty.

"Ava come on a little blood-"Ava's scowl deepened and she ripped through Stefan's mind and shoved pass him as he fell to the ground. As soon as the fairy slammed her bedroom door shut, the pain lessened. Stefan sat up

"Ok she's not in the mood" he muttered.

Ava flopped down on her bed, god's sake she fumed the fairy pressed her palms against her eyes. "What the hell?" she muttered to herself, the petite teen never lost it like this before. All she wanted was some blood that was all.

It was simple really so why was it so difficult. Ava let out groan she needed to get out of this stuffy house. The fairy knew she needed to go somewhere public before Damon could lock her up again.

"God I'm icky" she huffed; Ava jumped onto her feet and kicked off her shoes. She was still in her clothes from last night. The fairy padded barefooted into her bathroom and switched the shower faucet and stepped under the spray of hot water. She shook her head, when the water hit the tub she felt like it was echoing.

Ava grabbed her washcloth and lathered it in her scented shampoo. She vigorously scrubbed her skin she did it harder and harder till her skin was a light shade of pink. When she was done she turned it off and quickly dried herself off.

The fairy wrapped the towel around her damp form, and swept into her bedroom, she slipped on her panties and bra and then rummaged through her closer. It was another warm day in Mystic Falls, so the blond opted to wear a white buttoned down top and a pair of skinny jeans.

Ava sat at her vanity table, and was about to brush her hair when she felt an odd feeling in her throat. The teen rubbed her throat and shook her head. She was thirsty but there were no blood bags here to sate her cravings. So she needed something else. The blond brushed her hair and decided to leave it loose.

When she was done Ava exited the house not even making a stop at the parlour, if Damon was or was not there she didn't really care.


Ava picked up her pace hearing the sound of familiar voices. Alaric glanced up and spotted the fairy, he noted that her skin was a tad bit paler and she seemed shifty.

"Ava" Jeremy greeted her, he was slightly unnerved about how to act around the petite teen.

"Jeremy. Are we just going to say each other's names?" Ava cocked an eyebrow "You don't mind if I join you right?" she didn't wait for a reply and pulled out a chair. "Good. So what you lot up to now? Huh? Anything interesting?"

"Erm-"

Just then Elena came to join them; she swallowed seeing Ava sitting there. She cleared her throat

"Hey Ava-"

"Hello human blood bag" Ava drawled, Jeremy frowned when he noted a look of hurt pass across his sister's face,

"Elena you called?" Jeremy said breaking the silence "was there something you needed?" bringing the doppelganger back on track,

Ava leant back and folded her arms across her chest, an air of indifference sat around her. She pulled down the barriers of her mind wanting to know where Rebekah was, she was sure that the Original most likely had a sash of Klaus's blood hidden somewhere. She was brought out of her musings by the brunette

"Right Jere, I need your help with something" Elena said placing a heavy bag into the table. "I've been going through Stefan's old journals-"

"Isn't that just nosey?" Ava cocked an eyebrow

"It can help him" Elena snapped, the blond merely rolled her milky green orbs "anyway every single time he's gone off the rails, he's best friend Lexi has been the one to bring him back" she explained.

"So where is she now-"

"Dead, Damon killed her" Ava murmured

"That's why you want me to reach her don't you?" Jeremy questioned

"Ding, ding, ding Jeremy you're not that dumb. Kind of shocking you failed your Algebra test" Ava sniped.

"What? You failed-"

"Don't start" Jeremy huffed and turned to the fairy "And stay out of my mind Ava"

"Fine it's not that interesting anyway" Ava murmured, twirling one of her curly locks around her index finger.

"I just thought that if I knew how she did it then I could help Stefan" Elena uttered

Jeremy sighed "I don't even know if she is on the other side."

Ava frowned and leant forward the other side? "Is that what they call it?" the brunette asked

"That's what Anna calls it, there's not an official brochure or anything" Jeremy shrugged his shoulders,

"So what is it? Some sort of supernatural purgatory or something?" the hunter asked

"Anna said it's like being here with us, except we can't see her, interact with her she's all alone" Jeremy explained feeing sad for his former girlfriend

"Aww" Ava said mockingly "how sad, you can't rendezvous with your ghostly girlfriend"

"Vicky could interact" Alaric stated brushing over the awkward silence "she blew up my car"

Ava perked up "She did what? Oh damn I missed it" she licked her lips and reached forward picking up the glass of ice cold water and picked it up, the others watched as Ava hungrily downed the glass of water.

"Thirsty Ava?" Alaric asked

"You've got no idea" Ava quipped

"Well Vicky had help from a witch on the other side. Anna is doing all of this by herself" Jeremy said

Alaric cleared his throat, a breeze washed over them giving them all a small relief from the burning sun "I'm just saying maybe we learned our lesson in summoning dead people"

"Alaric is saying don't summon Lexi, she wasn't exactly happy when she left now was she?" Ava sighed and idly rubbed her throat; she grabbed another glass of water and downed it. Alaric, Elena and Jeremy all exchanged looks. Ava tapped her foot against the concrete floor and bit her bottom lip. God she wanted blood.

"Do you even think it's possible to contact Lexi asked?" Elena asked noting the edgy tone to the fairy

"I don't know" Jeremy admitted "I didn't have an emotional connection to her. I've never even met her"

"Could we just drop it please?" Alaric asked he had a bad feeling about this whole summoning the dead thing.

"No I can't drop it Ric" Elena argued "I don't know what else to do"

"Don't we have enough dead vampires in our past to be thinking that they could be sitting here watching us?" the hunter declared.

"Aww are you scared of a ghosty whosty?" Ava taunted "I thought you were meant to be a badass hunter?"

Elena shook her head and noticed the look on Jeremy's face and frowned "Is Anna here right now?" she asked

"No-"Jeremy lied "damn it's so hard lying to her. I'm going to check my work schedule" he rushed off.

Ava smirked and leant back "What?" Elena asked seeing the expression on the fairy's face.

"Your brother is lying to your face." She stated bluntly,

Elena opened her mouth about to ask the petite teen what she meant but someone else appeared

"Hey guys" Stefan smirked taking Jeremy's vacant seat. "Ava you've been a very bad girl-"he noted the confused look on Elena's and Alaric's face, so he decided to fill them in "Ava stuck a fire poker in Damon's chest, and if I'm right she also threw his daylight ring across the room"

Alaric and Elena were both stunned at this "You did what?" the doppelganger breathed.

"He wasn't being nice and he deserved it. And I don't understand why I'm explaining myself to you. So back off" Ava sneered

Stefan chuckled "So how comes I haven't been invited to the family summit?" he asked he spotted his old journal and picked it up and flicked through the pages "hmm all these words" his eyes skimmed the pages "I forgot how much I use to care"

"I didn't" Elena stated. Stefan's eyes met hers

"Shows how pathetic you really are Elena" Ava said coldly, Alaric missed the old Ava, he wondered what Damon's plan was to get her back. This wasn't the bright, exuberant teen he had the pleasure of knowing.

"You know what Elena? It's best not to torture yourself with memories of the past" Stefan stated "it's best if we all just move on and accept the things the way they are."

Alaric glared at the vampire "You don't have to be here Stefan or you Ava-"he didn't miss the look of hurt flashing across the brunette's face, and it was because of these two.

Ava clutched her chest where her beating heart resided "Wow Alaric how rude are you?"

Stefan moved closer to the table "You're right Ric I don't but Elena and Ava are both here and I've been assigned to protect them. Besides there's going to be a lot of people tonight-"he was referring to the fact that tonight was the night of illumination "there's going to be a lot to eat" he chuckled "I'm kidding, I'm kidding-"

"Oh but then we would have a show" Ava pouted. Stefan stood up and ruffled the fairy's hair

"See Ava's got the right idea. Loosen up" he said before leaving.

Ava stretched her arms above her head "I can't drop it Ric" Elena stated. The fairy sighed and also got onto her feet.

"Where are you going?" the history teacher asked

"Away from you dullards" Ava smirked "I'm a bit hungry and hell of a lot thirsty. So goodbye" with that she flounced off into the Grill.


"Barman" Ava called, she was sitting in the Grill at the bar leaning against the hardwood counter

"Ava you want your soda-"

"Actually I fancy a scotch on the rocks" she smiled serenely, Steve the barman chuckled

"Yeah no dice honey-"

"I said give me a scotch on the rocks, and keep them coming" the fairy instructed. The man's eyes were glazed over and he did just as she instructed. Ava heard the sound of her drink being set down in front of her. Her hand closed around the glass tumbler and picked it up taking a sip.

She sighed feeling the fiery liquid sliding down her throat; it felt so good and curbed some of her aching craving. There was no sign of Rebekah still and the fairy was getting anxious.

"Really Ava underage drinking?" Damon asked sliding up beside her.

"And what's it to you?" she cocked an eyebrow, the vampire scowled

"You are my concern"

"Right you love me" she mocked him, and shook her head "now either go away or shut up" her annoyance was spiked when she heard the stool besides her scraping against the hardwood floor.

"You're really staying here?" she groaned

"Looks like it" Damon smirked and swiped the glass of amber liquid out of the fairy's hand. Causing Ava to grit her teeth. He could tell he was getting under the petite teen's skin. Damon looked over his shoulder hearing a familiar voice. "Alaric" he called the hunter over

"I have enough of vampire today so-"

"Oh come and have a drink with me" Damon cajoled him, "Ava doesn't mind does she?"

Ava clenched her fists "No the more the merrier" she scowled

"We've got troubles-"

"No you got troubles" Alaric snapped glaring at the vampire, he didn't forgive Damon for killing him "I don't care, we're not friends anymore I don't like you"

"You do realise you sound like a five year old. I don't like you" Ava imitated the hunter's voice. Damon shook his head "Yeah but remember when you did like me? And we conspired to kill Uncle Mason Lockwood?"

Alaric's brows knitted together not understanding why the vampire was bringing this up "Yeah and?"

"He's still a little pissed" Damon answered.

Ava bit her bottom lip she connected the dots "Is that why I and Stefan found you all tied up?" she questioned.

"Yep" Damon replied "and thanks for helping with that" he drawled.

"You're welcome princess" Ava smirked

"Wait help?" Alaric frowned leaning against the bar

"Ava's form of helping was to shove the fire poker back into my chest" the vampire said gruffly. The hunter nodded and sighed, he wanted the old Ava to come back, and he missed her.

Ava sipped her drink and felt the cold drink sliding down her throat. Damon took the vacant seat beside whilst Alaric opted to stand. They ordered drinks and the vampire and hunter was both irked when another drink appeared in front of the fairy.

"Are you controlling him?" Damon frowned

"Yep" she smirked, "they're my puppets Damon I can make them do what I want" the raven head vampire was oddly reminded of himself when he first arrived in town. And was about to pick up his drink before someone else snatched it up first.

Alaric frowned "Mason" he breathed

"God I miss whiskey" the deceased werewolf uttered and downed the drink. The fairy perked up hearing the familiar voice.

"Oww-"Damon cried out when Mason smashed the empty glass against the other man's head. "Now do you believe me?"

"Totally" Ava nodded "so hot Mason is back in town"

"You're different" Mason noted

"Yet I still carry a torch for you." She drawled "So werewolf how about treating me to a drink?"

Mason frowned and looked over to Alaric, the hunter shook his head "Ava is off the rails" he murmured.

"Got that right" Damon gritted his teeth seeing the many messages he was getting about the necklace. "I'm never going to hear the end of that damn necklace" he muttered shoving his cell into his pocket.

"One of you will pay for this right?" Mason asked picking up his shot he didn't wait for a reply and downed the fiery liquid "cheers"

"Skip to it" Damon sniped "I killed you, you want revenge. Get in line"

"Actually" Mason sat forward, the patrons of the Grill carried on as normal "I want an apology" Alaric snorted. Whilst the fairy scoffed at that.

"He killed you." She empathised "and that's all you want? I know a neat game. Vervaine and darts"

"Ok no" Damon shook his head and looked over to Mason, as if the werewolf was insane, "You want a what?"

"Good luck with that" Alaric murmured

"Don't you have a family to haunt?" Damon questioned "Your nephew is a mindless hybrid minion"

"That's why I'm here" the werewolf announced "to help Tyler"

Damon smirked "Well sorry to break it to you buddy, but Tyler can't be helped. At least not whilst Klaus is alive" he added "which is like always"

"Not unless you can find a weapon that can kill him" Mason pointed out.

"There is no…"he trailed off, Damon's eyes narrowed on the other male and canted his head to the side "what do you know?"

Mason grinned and leant forward "I know that you need to apologise" he uttered.

"You got to be kidding me" Damon sneered.

"Are you incapable of remorse" Alaric snapped and whispered "Ava is right there, unlike her you have your humanity on. Apologise" he hissed.

Damon steeled himself knowing that history teacher was right "You're right. I didn't have to kill you; I do a lot of things that I have to do."

There was a moment silence, as Mason stared at the vampire. Ava idly rubbed her throat, she was thirsty and the two glasses of alcohol hadn't actually sated her thirst.

Mason chuckled and stood up "That's good enough, meet me at the old Lockwood cellar. Bring a shovel. Come alone" he added

"What? So can you bury me alive?" Damon scoffed

"Don't tempt me" Mason called over his shoulder.

Ava sat up and picked up her drink "Be tempted Mason" she yelled after him. "Sammy" she called the barman "Another drink if ya don't mind"

"I do mind" a familiar voice drawled, Damon's and Alaric's jaw dropped seeing the familiar face. "Now Ava honey I'm all good of you having a good time. But you're taking it too after"

Ava's milky orbs widened "Gran?"

"Surprise" she said in a sing song voice. "Now come on. We've got work to be doing. Namely getting ridding of that sire bond you have to that dick of a hybrid. And your taste for blood" she added.

"You can do that?" Damon asked hope rising within him.

"Of course dear" Claudine smirked "And thank goodness you and her got it together" she added "pity she's a bit psycho at that moment. Ava come—"

"I am not moving" Ava sniped "now go away. You're good at that" she spat bitterly

Claudine whistled "The hybrid got her good-"

"Yeah and we don't know how to get her back" Alaric muttered downing the rest of his drink.

"Well fairy magic may be of some use" another voice added into the conversation, Damon frowned seeing a tall looking man; he had blond hair and stood over six feet.

"Who are you?"

"Someone to come and help. Now Ava move" the man ordered

"No go away" Ava scowled raising her glass to her lips. But the blond haired man grabbed her wrist.

"Hey-"Damon growled

"Come-"

"I said no-"the vampire stepped up to the man and the tall man sneered down at him.

Claudine sighed and shook her head. She could see that things were beginning to heat up. So decided now was the time to intervene

"Damon" she called "you guys have that cellar in your house right?"

"Yeah why-"

"Oh my god" the trio of men all gasped when the elderly woman grasped the back of Ava's head and slammed it hard against the bar effectively knocking her out.

"Oh what the hell?" Damon snapped rushing towards his girlfriend.

"She's just knocked out. Now come on Xavier, we have some cleansing to be doing" Claudine said cheerily

Xavier rolled his eyes and easily scooped her up, much to Damon's irritation; he stepped in front of the man holding onto his fairy.

"Who the hell are you buddy?" Damon growled not at all appreciating the way the man was holding onto Ava, a shot of possessiveness flew through him.

The man smiled charmingly "I'm Ava's father. Now if you don't mind I'm going to fix my daughter" he shouldered pass him and exited the Grill.

"That's Ava's dad?" Alaric gaped after the pair, the man had slicked back blond hair and had the aura that showed you didn't want to mess with him.

"Yeah he's a hottie right?" Claudine asked, "Anyway when you're done with that Lockwood come back to the Boarding House. Ava is going to need you" she kissed the vampire on the cheek, and hurried out after her son-in-law and grand-daughter.

"Ava's dad?" Damon blinked

"Yeah" Alaric smirked "He can so kick your ass"

The vampire sent the hunter a scathing look, but Alaric merely raised his glass and drowned its contents.


Ava groaned feeling a steady pounding in her head. She went to touch her sore temple but found that she couldn't. It took her a moment to get her bearings and realise that she was strap down to a chair.

"What the hell?" she croaked

"Sorry about the head bashing dear. You were giving me a headache" Claudine stepped forward

"And your attitude wasn't helping" the fairy froze hearing the second voice it's been years since she heard that deep dulcet tone.

Ava swallowed "Daddy?" she whispered.

Xavier smiled and knelt down in front of his daughter "Hello baby girl. I missed you-"the vulnerable look vanished

"Well I don't miss you" Ava snapped "Now let me the fuck out of here" she shouted. Claudine glowered at her granddaughter, as Xavier's expression hardened

"Language-"

"Fuck you" the petite teen spat.

"Your mother-"

"You're all dead. So go back to your little sunny world and leave me alone" Ava snapped and tried to free her wrist but all she achieved was cutting the rough ropes into her delicate wrist.

"Not until you have your light back" Xavier growled, and grasped his daughter's face and closed his eyes concentrating. Ava could heard a melodic chanting and felt explosions after explosions ripped through her mind. The fairy screamed.


Ava gasped as tears rolled down her face. Xavier pulled back on his assault "Ava-"

"I'm sorry" the fairy cried "just stop, just stop, just stop-"she begged.

Claudine steeled herself, hating to see her granddaughter this way "What do you want Ava? What do you want-"

Xavier joined, since they were all of Fae so they could peer into each other's minds "What do you want Ava? What do you want?"

"Ava-"

Ava's fingers dug into the wooden arm rests. Her body jerked upwards, it felt as if something was being pulled from deep within her. "Ava-"

"I WANT BLOOD" Ava bellowed her whole body shuddering, she was covered in sweat and her hair was stuck to her face. "I WANT IT. JUST GIVE ME IT" she hollered.

"Xavier again-"Claudine commanded causing the petite teen to jerk

"No dad please. I promise just one more bag and then no more." Ava pleaded and screeched in pain when he ripped through her mind again. Claudine chanted as did her son-in-law.

The petite blond cried out and her eyes snapped open, there was no milky overlay. Instead her eyes were pitched black.

Ava's body shook she growled, fury, anger and rage tore through her. She didn't understand why they were doing this "LET ME OUT" she roared. And didn't care when the ropes dug deeper, all she could hear was chanting getting louder.

Claudine glanced over her shoulder when she heard the creaky cell door open. In stepped in Damon, he had returned from the small outing with Mason, and decided to check the cave out with the others tomorrow. But for now he knew that Ava needed him.

He took in the sight of her and couldn't help but feel a large pang go through his sight out Ava, she was pale and letting out small pants of air.

"How's it going? This cleansed? Is it working?" Damon asked

"Hmm-"

"Damon?" Ava called out "I'm sorry…please they're hurting me. Help me-"Damon balled his fists up.

"No Ava they're helping you-"he started.

Ava snarled "FINE. I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP. EVER SINCE YOU CAME INTO TOWN YOU RUINED MY LIFE" she screamed

Claudine grasped onto Damon's hand and squeezed "She doesn't mean it. We're driving the blood out of her system."

"PLEASE I PROMISE I'll BE GOOD. JUST LET ME OUT" a sob tore from her throat

"Don't listen son" Xavier murmured clasping onto Ava's cheeks

"Please" Ava begged "I'm sorry. I'll be good. I'll change I'll be better. Just help me" she sniffed and yelped in pain when a stabbing pain tore into her mind and her heart. Something was slowly breaking within her.

"I am helping you princess" Damon said sincerely

"No please just help me. Make it stop" Ava pleaded her eyes were brimmed with tears, "I'll change. I won' hurt you anymore"

"Ava I'm helping-"

"NO YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE NOT HELPING ME" Ava shouted "YOU DON'T LOVE ME. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HURTING ME. I HATE YOU"

Damon swallowed and watched as Ava's father and grandmother once again started their chanting. He watched on in amazement when he saw something that appeared to be a dark essence leaving her body.

"It's working-"Damon murmured

"She can feel Damon; she gets the hurt the pain. Ava is feeling again" beads of sweat also covered Xavier's and Claudine's face. Things were getting intense; Damon could tell they were closer to getting the real Ava back.

All three faes gasped and Ava cried out her body jolted upwards. "What's wrong?" Damon demanded "You-"

"We were close. But she's filled with darkness" Xavier ran his large hand through his thick blond hair "that hybrid-"

Claudine clutched her heart and Xavier did the same. Causing the vampire to panic "What?"

"Time is running out" the elder woman murmured, she could feel the pull. They had managed to curb Ava's cravings for the hybrid but haven't given her light back.

"You can't leave her-"

"Who said we would" from out of the shadows stepped out Faith Xenia, Damon's eyes zeroed in on the newcomer, he could immediately tell that this was Ava's mother. She looked like the teen just a slightly older version, but her eyes were different, the vampire realised that Ava had her father's eyes.

"Finally decided to show up?" Claudine asked

"Don't start mom" Faith rolled her eyes "now shall we give our girl her light back?"

"Something we've been trying to-"

"Shut up mom" Damon shook his head, yeah he could tell that they were related and that Xavier and Faith were Ava's parents, he could see both of them shining through her.

He watched as the three faes gather around Ava and held their hands. Damon was enthralled feeling the fairy magic in the air, it was light, airy and oh so special. He heard there chanting, but unlike the witchy chanting that he had seen beforehand. This was something else completely different.

Damon watched as light was poured out of their pores and into Ava. He was forced to shield his eyes when a white, bright light bathed the room. When it died down he removed his arms.

"Ava?"

"Damon?" she frowned, Ava blinked and felt something changing inside her….no something was being put right inside her. She no longer felt a hole in her heart. Nor the blood lust anymore. She just felt like herself.

"Ava-"

"Gran?" Ava swallowed

"Hello baby girl" Xavier knelt down in front of her, Faith did the same "We want you to know we are so proud of you-"

"You Ava are special" Faith stroked the sticky curls away from her daughter's face. "Know that we love you"

"Always." Claudine kissed her cheek.

"We have to go-"Xavier hummed, "our doorway is closing"

"No don't" Ava cried out "I don't want to lose you-"

"You would never lose us" Faith said fiercely "don't cry Ava-"but the teen couldn't stop, tears rolled down her face

"We will always be watching over you. And one day we will meet again" Ava felt her parent's hugging her. She sniffed. Claudine walked over to Damon and surprised the vampire by hugging him.

"Thank you for doing what I asked Damon" she saw the confused look on his face so added "For looking after my baby. Goodbye Damon Salvatore" Damon smiled and hugged her back.

"I will always look after her" he whispered

"I know, her body should reject the hybrid's blood. Like she does with all blood." Claudine stepped away.

"Why?"

"Why can't Ava have blood? It's a form of protection for our kind. You saw what happened before" The pull in their guts were getting stronger, the elderly woman walked back over to Ava to give her some final advice. "Ava…don't drink too much and if you're doing the dirty wear lace-"

"Claudine-"

"Mom-"Xavier and Faith scolded.

"Goodbye Ava"

"Bye"

Ava swallowed feeling their warmth leaving her, she slumped in the chair "They're gone?"

Damon frowned and nodded and moved forward "They are" he easily tore the ropes off of her wrists. He saw her lower lip wobbling and sighed "You can cry-"with that Ava broke down in tears.

Damon wrapped his arms around her and she did the same to him. Ava pressed her face into the crook of his neck and cried.


Ava sighed as she dried herself off; she had gotten change and was now wearing her flannel shorts and her camisole. She padded barefooted to Damon's room and as soon as she stepped over the threshold she was swept up and chucked onto the bed.

"Damon you ass I was-"she felt the vampire straddling her waist.

"Welcome back Ava" Damon whispered into her ear, she pulled back and pressed her temple against his.

"Good to be home" she smiled. He used his thumb to wipe away her tears and gently pressed his lips to hers, this kiss was filled with love and tenderness, something he hadn't shared with her for a while.

He pulled back and kissed her throat and nipped on her shoulder. Damon lay down beside her; Ava snuggled into his side and rested her head on his chest. He felt at peace now as he held Ava in his arms.

"Damon?" Ava murmured

"Huh?" he ran his hand down her back, stroking the sliver of skin that was exposed

"After all that we've been through you think-"

"Nothing has changed between us Ava. I love you and I will choose you always" he said sincerely causing the blond to smile

"Good…but I was actually wondering…can I have a puppy now?" Ava asked and yelped when he pushed her off the bed. "Is that a no?"

"Ava-"

"Please-"

"No-"

"Oh" Ava pouted causing the vampire to roll his eyes and grasped her hand and pulled her back to him.

"No pouting-"

"But a puppy could be very beneficial" she started, Damon chuckled and pulled the covers over them, he could see the fairy's eyes drooping and knew that she was exhausted. He held her to him, and wrapped his arms around her. Ava yawned

"Just think about it" she mumbled closing her eyes. Damon's lips stretched into a smile and he inhaled her scent. "Oh and Damon?"

"Are you ever going to fall asleep?" he asked

"Just wanted to say…I love you" she drifted off to slumber land. Damon grinned

"Love you too" he kissed her temple and soon also drifted off.
