Giggles and laughter could be heard from Damon's room.

"Damon seriously dude we-oof-"she grunted for the third time she had almost made it out of the bed but before she could Damon's arm snaked out around her waist and hauled her back beneath the covers. He pulled them over so they were shielded from the rays of sun

"We should carry on" he straddled her hips he saw her opening her mouth about to no doubt ruin the moment so he decided to cut her off. Her protest turned into a moan, when he kissed her on the lips. He groaned when the fairy put up a fight. A battle of dominance occurred between the pair. But Damon eventually won,

"Ok-ok-oh-"she gasped when he lightly bit down on her neck and the soothed the stinging by running his tongue over it. Ava was in complete bliss, she could feel everything now and she appreciated that even more so.

Damon trailed his lips down her collar bone and tugged the fairy's camisole to reveal even more skin. "Whoa-"she choked when she felt his nose nuzzling in between her breasts. "Ok-ok-stop please-"she called out. Immediately Damon's assault stopped, he moved back so that now he was hovering above her he could see that her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were slightly hazy

"Ava you ok?"

Ava squeaked out a "Yes…just too much-"

"Of me and my sexy moves-"Damon smirked; Ava shoved him off the bed sending the vampire crashing off of the bed.

"Ok so-"she squealed when his hand clutched her ankle and he pulled sending her also tumbling off of the bed. Ava landed on something hard but not hard like the ground. "Good thing this mushy thing was here-"

"That mushy thing is me-"Damon grunted "and your elbow his digging into my chest-"

"Oops" Ava smiled sheepishly and sat up, his hands grasped her hips her blond locks flowed around her and the ends tickled Damon's face.

"You don't look very sorry" his thumbs rubbed against the sliver of skin that was exposed.

"Well what do you want me to do about it?" she cocked and eyebrow. Damon's lips morphed into a large grin, he sat up causing Ava to shift so that now she was on his lap. Her legs rested on either side of him.

"Well I know a way you can make it up to me-"he purred into her ear, and then proceeded to whisper dirty, dirty things into the fairy's ear. "So what do you think?" he pulled back loving the feeling of his fairy in his arms.

"I think you are some….fucked up weirdo" Ava scrambled onto her feet and accidentally kneed him in the crotch.

"Oww-"Damon groaned as the blond stormed off. "Where are you going?"

"Away from you hopefully Elena's fridge would be full. You're weird-"

"I was being sexy" Damon shouted still on the floor.

"No creepy" Ava yelled back and the vampire rolled his eyes, but couldn't help and smile and flopped down onto the ground. Yeah he definitely had his Ava back.


Ava dried herself off and wrapped the towel around her form before stepping out into her bedroom. She felt refreshed and rummaged through her dresser pulling out her lacy bra and panties. She slipped them on and moved on to her closet. She opted to wear a pink dress and buckled the belt on; she padded barefooted out of the room.

"Rebekah?" she called opening the vampire's room door "Hello? Huh she's gone" she shrugged her shoulders and hurried back to her room and slipped on her shoes and grabbed her cane.

"Damon?" she skipped down the stairs and sighed not hearing the vampire's reply "Fine…well I'm leaving so don't bitch later" she slammed the front door shut and hurried down the path. She'd be taking the bus to the Gilbert place.

"Ava-"

"Morning Earl" Ava grinned and climbed up the stairs,

"You seem brighter" the bus driver drawled

"I feel it. So to Elena's place?"

"Sure I'll yell your name when we're on her road"

Ava nodded and walked towards the back of the bus. She sat down and internally groaned when she smelt a nasty smell.

"Yo pretty-"

"Go away Stevie" Ava shifted away from the bum that was sitting behind her.

"I'll go away if you suck me off-"

"Dude" the fairy exclaimed "we're on a freaking bus. You sick shit-"

"Alright how about a hand job-"the bus drove over a bump causing them all to jolt forwards

"Alright I know someone who would give you a hand job" Ava smiled sweetly, Stevie perked up

"Ya mean it?"

"I do this person is -EARL YOU'VE GOT A PERVERT ON THE BUS" Ava shrieked and lurched forward when the bus came to a screeching halt

"I'm so going to kick your ass" the elderly man grumbled.


"Bitches I'm here" Ava waltzed into the Gilbert house. And dumped her cane by the front door, "so where's the good food-"

Alaric and Elena frowned at each other seeing the fairy skipping into the kitchen, the doppelganger narrowed her eyes "Go away Ava"

"How rude" Ava frowned "mean bitch…now where's Jeremy's pop-tarts huh?" she didn't wait for a reply headed into the pantry.

"Wait Pop-tarts?" Elena jumped off of the stool that she had been sitting on and headed towards the pantry just as Ava emerged from it, clutching on to the box of treats.

"Yeah…just so you know you can't have any and-"she grunted when Elena launched herself at her friend

"Oh my god Ava. You're back" Elena laughed.

"Yeah…erm…so I got the feeling I was a major bitch to you. Sorry about that btw that stands for-"

"I know what it stands for" Elena grinned

"So we're cool?" Ava asked

"Definitely, in fact to show how cool we are here-"the brunette hurried off but returned a second later shoving something in to the petite teen's hands.

Ava felt around and her eyes bugged out "An un-opened box of pop-tarts?"

"Just bought them" Alaric supplied zipping up his duffle bag, they were going to be visiting the caves

"Oh wow-thank you" Ava grinned "Now does Jere-"

"No so come on. We're got some caves to visit" Alaric trailed after the two female teens and had just shut the door before he heard

"WHO ATE ALL MY FREAKING POP-TARTS"

"Oh damn Jeremy's going to be pissed…and Ava just threw the box away" he muttered seeing the disgusted look on the fairy's face and literally threw the box in the doppelganger's face.


"Oww" Ava yelped when she tripped over another fallen branch, she, Elena and Alaric were heading towards the caves but since it was in the woods he had to park a couple of feet away.

"Ava come on-"Elena sighed

"Shut up Elena" the fairy sniped getting onto her feet "It's hard for some people" she grumbled smoothing down her dress.

"By the time we get there it'll be dark" Alaric muttered the pair had stopped walking so the fairy could catch up

"No it won't" Elena shook her head, they both winced when Ava once again fell "Ok you're right-"

"Good so I'll deal with Ava" he handed he doppelganger the duffle-bag, which held lights and other items he thought that they would need. He trudged over to the fairy and pulled her onto her feet.

"Alright Ava how do you want to do this?" Alaric asked

Ava whistled "Wow Ric, I know you're happy to have me back…but dude I am not sleeping with you" Alaric balked and shook his head "Eww no-"

"Wait are you saying sleeping with me would be eww?" Ava huffed.

"No I meant-"

"So you would sleep with me?" the fairy cocked and eyebrow, Elena groaned and palmed her face

"Well-"

"Dude I'm seventeen you're like older than my dad" Ava scrunched up her nose in disgust, the hunter looked over his shoulder at Elena, the brunette just shook her head

"Just give her a piggy back ride" Elena said exasperatedly.

"Oh piggy back. Come on Ric hop to it" Alaric turned around and Ava climbed onto his back, when he was sure she had a secure hold he walked.

"Faster-"Ava instructed and kicked him

"Ava-"Alaric growled

"What? It works on horses. And Elena wants to get into these caves so faster-"the fairy kicked him once again.

"We're here" Alaric declared and without further ado he dropped her so that she landed on her bottom and headed inside

"Ava?" Elena said switching her torch on

"What?"

"You deserve that" the brunette grinned and followed after the hunter.

"Meanie" Ava muttered and trailed after them, she held her cane out and places a hand on the wall, and she could hear Alaric's and Elena's shoes hitting the ground. So knew which direction they were going in.

Ava shivered it was cold down here, on the ride over here; Elena had brushed her hair and tied it up for the petite teen. The fairy could hear the sound of dripping and carried on walking, she felt the rough texture of the wall

"So the Lockwoods had really no idea that these tunnels are underneath their properties?" Elena asked shining the light around the dark caves; she looked over her shoulder and saw that Ava was there.

"Careful where you shine that thing bats hate the light-"Alaric warned.

Both Ava and Elena came to a stop "Wait what?" Elena asked her eyes widening

"Oh my god, bats? Bats? Can I keep one?" the fairy asked excitedly, she was desperate to have something living with a beating heart in the Boarding House, preferably something cute.

"I doubt Damon would let you keep a bat" the history teacher scoffed

"Oh but he's a vampire and-"she froze when she felt something travelling down her back "oh shit-"

"Ava-"a voice whispered causing Elena to yelp and Ava to jump. The fairy screamed and out of instinct smacked her cane against the other person.

"Oww-"Damon yelped "I think you broke my nose" he clutched his bloodied nose.

"Damon?" Elena relaxed and was somewhat mollified that Damon had got he deserved.

"Who else-"

"Gave me a freaking heart attack" Ava clutched her chest. The vampire clicked his nose back into place

"Such a scaredy cat" Damon snickered

"Just ignore him, that's what I do" Alaric commented.

"She can't do that." the vampire laid a swift kiss on the fairy's cheek "she's my sexy ass girlfriend-"

"And If you're such a good boyfriend can I-"he grabbed her hand guiding the petite teen forward so she was in the cavern,

"No you're not having a bat as a pet-"Damon cut her off.

Ava pouted and kicked a rock over. "Never getting a pet" she grumbled

"So wait" Elena frowned "you really can't get in?"

Damon shook his head and made sure to keep an eye on Ava, "No seems like even the ancient Lockwoods, was anti-vampire"

Ava frowned hearing him "What do you mean ancient?" Damon grabbed Ava's hand leading her forwards

"See for yourself" Damon told Elena as Alaric stepped further into the cavern with the doppelganger on his heels.

Damon helped Ava down the path and gently pushed her forward "Well this is far as I can go" he uttered. Ava remained near the vampire knowing that there was no point of even going further since she couldn't see what was there.

"What is it?" Ava asked as Damon slid down against the wall, she took a step back feeling something rodent like running over her foot and cringed. She yelped when she tripped over a loose rock and fell through the gap landing in Damon's lap.

"Well I guess you're staying here then?" Damon smirked. Ava rolled her milky green orbs and rested her head against his shoulder, he placed his arm around her waist and his other hand came up so that his index finger was twirling one of her curls.

"So what is it?" she repeated her question, as Elena's eyes roamed the caves walls.

"Cave drawings" Alaric explained "as far as I can tell it's a story. In simple archaeological terms, it's a really, really old story"

"And you say you got a degree-"she was cut off when Damon placed his hand over her mouth shutting the teen up.

"Listen to the story princess" he crooned into her ear. Ava huffed and nodded, she leant back to get more comfortable. "So Ric get on with it"

Alaric nodded "Well that there, is the moon cycle" he explained "the man the wolf-"

"A werewolf" Elena stated holding her torch up,

"Yeah" Damon called out "The Lockwood diaries Pictionary style-"

"Even then they were playing Pictionary?" Ava cocked an eyebrow

"Ok, no" Alaric shook his head "and no we're not going to play Ava-"he said seeing the teen opening her mouth.

"Gosh, you think they would bend over backwards for me. Now I'm not a psycho bitch anymore huh? But Noooo I don't get a puppy and Elena is shit at giving me proper pop-tarts. And Ric dropped me" she ranted. She paused mid-way through realising that Damon seemed to be shaking and rolled her milky green orbs "you're laughing" she pouted "did I ever tell you how much of a jerk you are?" she idly stroked the pads of her fingers against the back of his and

"And did I ever tell you how cute you are" he teasingly pulled her hair.

"Suck up" Ava muttered causing the vampire to smile. Elena looked away from the obviously loved up couple, it all was so messed up. Before the summer that was Stefan and her but now…

"So wait" Elena frowned realising something. I thought that the Lockwoods came over with the other founders" she looked at her guardian

"Hmm" Alaric set his bag down on the floor "maybe the Lockwoods did, but according to these wolves have been here for a long, long time, longer than that"

"How long?" Ava asked curiously

"Long" Damon replied "show Elena Ric" he nodded towards the other walls.

Alaric walked over to another wall "Names" he announced "they're not native, they're written in runic in Viking script"

Ava shifted and placed her elbow on Damon's propped up knee "Didn't Rebekah mention something about Vikings?" she asked

"Wait you paid attention-"

"Shove off Damon-"

"Make me" he poked her causing the blond to squeak

"If you two are quiet done" Alaric spoke over the bickering couple "this name here, well it translates into Niklaus"

Ava canted her head to the side at that "Klaus then?" she murmured feeling her skin crawl at the mention of the Original, Damon noted this and wrapped his arm around her waist hauling her closer to him.

"There are Elijah and…Rebekah" the history teacher revealed,

"So these are the names of the Original family?" Elena asked stepping closer to the wall.

"Yeah" Alaric nodded "carved into a cave that's been here way before the founding of Mystic Falls. Or even the entire new world for that matter."

"Wait this has got to be one of Klaus's fakes" Elena shook her head.

"That's what I said" Damon murmured, his breath washed over the fairy's ear

"It could be true" Alaric agreed "but the last name up here makes us think otherwise"

Ava's brows furrowed together, as Damon rested his chin on her shoulder "What's the name?" she asked

"Mikael" Alaric answered.

Ava's eyes widened and Elena dropped her hand to her side "Mikael as in the vampire hunter who knows how to kill Klaus?" the doppelganger asked baffled

"Yep" Damon smirked, he wanted to kill the hybrid after everything he's done to them "I like to call him Papa Original"

"No way" Ava breathed "this sounds like such a soap opera"

"You got that right, come on" Damon pushed himself and Ava up so that they were on their feet.

"Where are you two going?" Elena asked seeing the vampire leading Ava out

"Well I owe Ava some breakfast have fun" he called over his shoulder.


Ava was now sitting in Alaric's loft; Elena and Damon were practising fighting techniques whilst the history teacher was studying the pictures that he had taken of the cave walls.

The fairy bit into the apple and chewed whilst listening to Alaric "These images tells us a story" he explained "to learn the story you have to decipher these images and –Ava you're getting apple juice all over them" he scolded

"Oops-"and blushed when spray the pictures of bits of apples. "Oh let me clean that up"

Alaric watched wide eyes as the fairy knocked several pictures onto the ground as she wiped the table.

"You know what Ava? Go stand in the corner and don't touch anything-"

"But-"

"Now" he said sternly.

Ava pouted and walked over to the other side of the room, mumbling something about mean teachers.

"And you're dead" Damon announced

"Give me a break I'm new-"

"Well the vampire who is snapping your neck won't be giving you one" he cocked an eyebrow "Unless you're into all that kinky stuff-"Elena glowered at him and sauntered over to Alaric. "Ava want a go?"

"Sure I can kick your ass" Ava grinned and skipped over to him "Ok so kick yeah-"without waiting for a reply she swung her leg out at him. He easily caught her leg "try again sexy." Ava rolled her eyes and used her fists "the ghost of Christmas past, Mason-"he batted her wrist away. The fairy huffed and "said the cave can lead us to a weapon that can kill Klaus" he dodged out of the way just managing to avoid being hit in the face.

"But doesn't Mikael have a weapon?" Elena asked and watched as Damon grasped Ava's flying fist

"Yes-"Ava attempted to get it out of his grip but it was too strong "so that might mean, the wall would lead us to Mikael" he finished off. "Who we already found and lost-"Damon tugged Ava hard and swung her around so that her back was flushed against his chest.

"Bam…you're dead" he purred and lathered her neck in kisses, causing the fairy to laugh. Damon nipped her skin and pulled back and dropped a chaste kiss on her lips.

"These images at the very least might tell us what that weapon is" Alaric uttered as Ava moved over to him and Elena. Damon followed after her.

"Then all we have to do is find out what they mean" Elena nodded. The fairy hopped onto the stool and swung her legs back and forth.

"Fine, fine" Damon called out "if I'm being irritatingly optimistic like you two. How do you suppose we do that?"

"Well if the story is about the Original family living here." Elena started "we go straight to the source"


Ava licked her lips and trailed her fingers over a picture that ironically read the name Niklaus "Meaning Rebekah. Oh goody we've got another story time with an Original" she quipped

"So what?" Ava asked, she had just been dropped off at the Boarding House after school and was talking to Elena on the phone "she didn't say anything about her dad?"

The blond grabbed the doorknob and groaned finding out that the door was locked.

"No, she got spooked and ran off" Elena replied and was confused when she heard the fairy swearing "Ava what's wrong?"

Ava kicked the door "Bloody hell. Of all the times they leave the freaking door wide open its locked when I don't have keys" she huffed "Elena-"

"Look can you call me when Rebekah comes around or see if you can get anything out of her?" Elena asked

"Fine, fine. Bye" she hanged up and shoved her cell into the pocket of her dress and shouldered her messenger back and folded up her cane. Ava knocked onto the door and sighed when there was no answer "Great how the hell do I get in?" she mumbled to herself, the fairy recalled that the Damon's bedroom window room was wide open. Looks like she was going to be doing some climbing.

So with that thought in mind Ava climbed up the wooden ladder that was nailed to the wall, it was surrounded by ivy and leaves. She trudged up the steps and felt around feeling the stone landing. Ava hauled herself up and after a couple of minutes she was clinging onto Damon's window. She threw her bag into the room.

"Nearly there" she grunted and pushed herself through the window. She cursed loudly when the window slammed shut effectively trapping her.

"You've got to be kidding me" Ava grumbled and wriggled, oh god she hoped no one was around to see this, because if they did all they would see was her a pair of legs hanging out of the window, she mentally slapped herself it was windy and she didn't wear tights.

"Come on" she pushed herself forward but it was no use the fairy was stuck. Ava had been hanging there for five minutes before she decided to give it one more go. She surged forward and swore "why is it always me?" she snapped.

"Well this is a sight" Rebekah drawled appearing in front of the fairy. "Quiet a predicament" she smirked in amusement it was a funny sight. There was Ava stuck in the window.

"Can you just help me out Rebekah?" Ava asked. The Original frowned and blurred towards the fairy and grasped her chin so she could see the smaller teen's eyes.

Rebekah's deep blue eyes zeroed in on her eyes she chuckled "My brother's hold on you has gone. Now how did that happen?"

"You reall-"

"The sooner you speak the quicker your out of this particular predicament" Rebekah drawled.

Ava huffed and tried to push herself up but she was being pinned down. "Fine it was fairy magic" she answered. The Original nodded seems like Fae magic was stronger than she first thought.

"So now will you help me out?" Ava asked

"Sure one minute" the petite blond frowned in confusion, her ears perked up hearing a clicking sound. "What the-wait are you taking a picture of me?"

"Of course" Rebekah smirked and pressed the button making sure to save the picture, "did you know Ava that you've got a YouTube channel? That clip when you were getting stunned…was hilarious-"she laughed.

Ava frowned "Just get me out-"she huffed, the Original rolled eyes and meandered over to the trapped fairy. Without further ado she pushed it up and stepped aside, watching as the petite teen landed ungracefully on the floor.

"Thanks…and she just walks away" Ava muttered and hurriedly got onto her feet. She headed off to her room to dumped her bag when she felt her cell vibrating.

"Hello?"

"Sexy-"

"Jesus I don't know a sexy stop ringing freak" she snapped and hanged up. "Loser" she pulled her hair free out of its ponytail so her hair fell around her shoulders. Ava had just flopped down on her bed and closed her eyes. She swore under her breath when her cell rang again

"Hello-"

"Sexy-"

"Oh piss off dick stop ringing-"

"No it's me. Damon" he shouted to stop her from hanging up on him again.

"Oh Damon hi" she grinned hearing his voice. "How're you doing?"

"Lovely Ava" he chuckled "anyway just called to tell you that I and Stefan are going to be home late"

Ava hummed but frowned "Stefan? Didn't you say his locked up-"

"And now I let him out. So if there's any problems call me ok?"

"Ok"

"I mean it any little issues" Damon said seriously.

Ava licked her lips and placed her arm over her temple "I know" she sighed "not a child Damon. I know how to look after myself-"

"Yeah tell me that when there isn't an Original hanging around" Damon scoffed; he smiled hearing her laughing there was a pause "So Ava…"

"Yep?" she hummed

"What type of underwear are you wearing-"

"Ok bye Damon" she hanged up on him and rolled over pressing her face into her soft pillows and yawned. Her eyes drifted closed.


Ava was jolted awake when loud music blasted through the house; she had taken a small nap and rubbed her eyes.

"What the?" she yawned and stood up, stretching her arms above her head. And followed the sound of the beating music, it was coming from the parlour. "Rebekah?"

"Ava you're up"

"Kind of hard not to be when the music is this loud"

"Right…you've got drool on your face"

Ava hastily wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "Champaign?" the Original offered. The fairy's eyebrows shot to her hairline, thinking wasn't it a bit early to be drinking

Just then the front door opened and the doppelganger walked in "Ava?"

"Elena?" Ava countered "You brought food?"

"No" Elena scoffed

"Hey" Rebekah greeted the brunette "what's up?" she asked cheerily placing the Champaign in the ice bucket.

"You invited me over" Elena stated

"Huh…weird I thought she hated you" Ava told her telepathically

"Hmm same…but I spoke to her before" Elena replied, and knew that the fairy heard her when the petite teen inclined her head. "You called to talk" she added on.

"Alright girls" Rebekah called "have at it" she instructed. Elena's eyes widened seeing five compelled teens who were all wearing different dresses

"Wait you invited random girls in to my house?" Ava gaped "I was supposed to do the inviting. Bitch" she muttered "What are they doing here?"

"Twirl please" Rebekah instructed and the five girls did just that.

"You compelled your own private runway show?" Elena asked

"I need a homecoming dress" Rebekah said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Ava do you-"

"Oh no Caroline has got my dress sorted" Ava shook her head

"Right so…Elena pick one" the Original looked at the doppelganger.

Elena shook her head in annoyance "I'm not here to help you shop. I'm here because I want to know why you don't want us to wake up Mikael"

Ava scoffed "Damn Elena…be a bit more subtle" she muttered knowing that the Original probably wouldn't appreciate the way she had spoken to her. It was proven when Rebekah smiled sweetly and then blurred behind a compelled girl pulling her hair aside

"I said pick one" the vampire snarled her fangs were unleashed

"The red one" Elena rushed out.

"There" Rebekah smirked "that wasn't so hard was it? Go away and remember nothing-"

"Wait tell them to hide the pieces of the broken vase" Ava added on. She could feel both women's stares on her

"You broke a vase?" Elena looked at her friend

"Yes I break stuff Elena it's not a secret so…vampy can you ya know…"Rebekah rolled her eyes and waved the five girls off. She sauntered over to where the Champaign and picked up a glass. She then stalked towards Elena causing the brunette to back up.

"Elena?"

"It's ok…" Elena attempted to sooth her

"You do not threaten mean" Rebekah sneered "you will learn what I will allow you to learn is that clear?" there was a tense silence. Elena nodded

"Crystal clear" Ava piped up, ok perhaps Damon was right…she wasn't exactly safe with an Original lingering around.

There was a resounding sound of silence before Ava heard heels clicking away "Wait did she just threaten you and then walked off?" she asked

"Yes" Elena replied "and you broke another vase-"

"Forget that" Ava spoke over "what is it with Originals starting stories and then walking off" she huffed and moved forward holding her hand out. She felt her palm brushing against a cool bucket

"Ava no drinking" Elena said sternly seeing the blond taking the whole bottle

"Oh come on" Ava whined "Story and Champaign sounds like a good night to me" she wagged her eyebrows up and down. Elena shook her head and snatched off of her.

"Come on" she called the teen.

Ava huffed and trailed after her "Such a buzzkill" she muttered under her breath.


"How fun us this?" Rebekah exclaimed opening the door to Stefan's room. Ava rolled her eyes and strolled into the bedroom

"Not really been here tons of times" the smaller blond declared. Elena lingered in the doorway clearly no longer comfortable in being in her boyfriend's room.

"We shouldn't be here" Elena murmured not at all bothered by the fact that Ava was here. This was her home after all.

"Of course we should" Rebekah scoffed rummaging through Stefan's dresser pulling out a grey pair of boxers "don't you ever just wanted to snoop? And Ava why do you come in here a lot?"

"Because of this" with that Ava climbed on top of Stefan's bed and jumped "He's got such a bouncy bed" she grinned. Elena rolled her eyes as the fairy plopped down in the centre of the bed.

"Are you going to root through his stuff all night? Or are you going to start to tell us your story" Elena leant against the doorframe.

Rebekah sighed "I get it Ava…you're the fun one"

"Oh thanks" Ava shuffled back on the bed leaning against the headboard. Rebekah walked around the room

"So what do you want to know?" the Original asked

"Well" Elena started walking into the bedroom "Elijah said that your father was a landowner in Europe how did you end up here?"

Ava shifted so that she was now lying down on Stefan's bed, it felt like years since she was last here.

"My parents had just started a family when a plague struck their homeland" Rebekah began looking through stacks of papers that she had found piled up on Stefan's desk "they lost a child to it. They wanted to escape and to protect their future family from the same fate"

"But how did you end up here?" Ava asked the question once again, noticing how the Original seem to avoid giving them a straight answer "I thought this part of the world hadn't even been discovered yet"

Rebekah chuckled "Not by anyone in your history books. But my mother knew the witch Ayanna who heard from the spirits of a mystical land where everyone was healthy" she informed them. Ava idly played with the hem of her dress as she listened to the story "bless by the gifts of speed and strength that led my family here. Where we lived amongst those people"

"The werewolves?" Elena asked

"To us they were just our neighbours" Rebekah shrugged her shoulders and opened another box full of trinkets. "My family lived in peace with them for over twenty years. During which time my family had more children including me"

Ava hummed to herself lightly she fidgeted on the bed

"You make it sound so normal" Elena muttered

"It was" Rebekah gazed out of the window lost in memory she started her story, Ava was now once again sitting up "once a month family's retrieved beneath the caves of the village. The wolves would howl throughout the night and by the morning we would return home. One full moon Klaus and my youngest brother Henrik snuck out to watch the men turn into beasts. That was forbidden"

"No kidding" Ava murmured, a whole pack of men turning into beasts? You would have to be crazy to be put yourself in danger like that. "Henrik paid the price. And that was the beginning of the end of the peace without neighbour." She paused as Ava placed both feet on the floor "and that was one of the last moments that my family had has humans"

Ava felt something well up in her gut for the female Original; the brief moment of silence was broken by Elena whose cell was ringing

"Oh erm…Lena you better get that. I think Damon needs to tell you something" the fairy uttered wondering if her boyfriend told the doppelganger about the so-called jail-break.

"Damon? Where are you?" Elena asked not being able to hear what the vampire was saying. "Yes…Ava is fine-"

"You don't need to check up on me" Ava yelled

"…Yes that was Ava…we're both fine. But we can't talk right now…is that Stefan?"

Rebekah sat down beside Ava "She's kind of rude isn't she?" the Original commented.

Ava snorted "Yeah Elena has a thing for answering calls when it's story time-oww-"she yelped when Elena slapped her upside the head

"How could you not tell me that Damon broke Stefan out?" Elena berated the blond.

"I just…kept quiet?" she asked lamely, Elena sighed and shook her head. "So on with the story?"

Ava was once again sprawled out on the bed but this time she was munching on a chocolate bar, and beside her was Rebekah who was busy flickering through the pages of Stefan's journal. Elena sighed she was getting impatient "If you have had your fill of snooping yet can we get on with the story?" Elena asked sitting down on the chair by Stefan's desk.

Rebekah shot her a look and got onto her feet, walking around the fairy she picked up a frame picture of Stefan and Elena.

"Honestly I don't get you two as a couple. I get Ava and Damon…they thrive on each other. You and Stefan?" she shook her head

"Why would you get us?" Elena exclaimed "you don't know anything about who he really is"

Ava rubbed her head, hoping she wouldn't have to endure listening to Rebekah and Elena bitching at each other's relationship with Stefan.

Rebekah smirked and put the picture down "I know exactly who he is" she told the brunette "he's a vampire. We're a predatory species. We don't have time to care about humans, and their silly lives-"

Ava cleared her throat and popped her head "Excuse me…Damon cares about me-"

"You're a fairy you don't count" the Original snapped

"Bitch much" Ava muttered idly plaiting her curls,

Elena looked up at the vampire "Is that why you did that runway show earlier? Because you don't care about the homecoming dance?"

Ava cocked an eyebrow seems like Elena got one up on the vampire "You know what? I'm just going to go." She stood up "Night Ava-"she called

Ava frowned she thought that the dark haired teen wanted to know the story. The fairy swung her legs out of the bed so that now she was also standing

"You haven't heard half the story-"

Elena sighed and turned around so she was facing her "And you're not going to tell it. You're just bored and looking for someone to push around"

Ava nodded sounded fair "Alright if story time is over I'm going to order a pizza. Fancy some peperoni"

"Find yourself someone else to play with. Maybe you can compel yourself a friend" Elena sneered and went to walk out but the Original stopped her by her next statement

"The necklace wasn't Stefan's to give" Rebekah announced

"Ok" Ava whistled "guesting story time is back on so what is with the necklace?"

"It belonged to the Original witch."

Elena once again halted "The one who put the hybrid curse on Klaus?"

"Not just the hybrid curse. She's the one who turned us into vampires" Rebekah said.

Ava's jaw dropped "You've got to be shitting me…man she must be powerful" the fairy shook her head.

She then told them more before stopping "I'm a bit thirsty you two fancy a drink?" without waiting for a reply she walked out.

"Classic Original move again. Walking out when things get interesting" Ava jumped onto her feet. She and Elena followed after the female Original.


Ava gripped onto the stairs banister as they walked down them. Elena made sure to stay beside her so she wouldn't fall

"So vampirism" Ava uttered "Is some form of protection?" she was more than fascinated to learn how vampires were created in the first place.

"What else would it be?" Rebekah asked

"A curse" Elena suggested

Rebekah shook her head "My parents only saw a way of keeping their children alive." They rounded the corner so they were now near the landing

"Yeah but why stay?" Elena uttered "if they were so scared of the werewolves why not leave?"

Ava stepped off the last step "Pride" Rebekah answered the doppelganger's question "my father didn't want to run anymore. He wanted to fight and be superior to the wolves. Where they could bite we had to bite harder. Where they had speed we had to be faster. Agility, strength senses"

Once again they were walking down the corridor and the Original had told them more. Ava swore when she knocked over something

"Is it expensive looking Elena?" Ava asked

"It's a vase-"

"Oh" Ava groaned "why are there so many freaking vases around here" both Elena and Rebekah paused to watched as Ava used her shoe clad foot to push aside the broken shards and then proceeded to hide it under the rug.

"Damon is going to find that-"

"Not if everyone keeps their mouth shut" Ava huffed "Hold up. You said her hands? What could she do?" she was referring to the tale that Rebekah was telling them

"Because my mother was also a witch" she stated

"What?" Elena asked

"The witch of the Original family" Rebekah clarified "The Original witch" as they rounded another corner so that they were in the parlour; Ava dropped down on the sofa and placed her feet on the coffee table. The fairy was quiet miffed so Klaus's own mother put the curse on him? Damn she shook her head. And knew that Elena was also shocked

"Ava where do they keep their best vintage?" Rebekah asked looking around the room

"No clue. Damon doesn't exactly tell me that" Ava uttered.

"But if your mother was a witch-"

"Am I? No a witch is nature's servant, a vampire is an abomination of nature" Rebekah picked up a bottle that had amber liquid swishing around in it. "You can either be one or the other. Never both my mother did this for us she did not turn" Rebekah uncapped the bottle and moved over to the glasses. Ava leant her head back against the couch

"How did you turn?" Elena asked her eyes following her movements.

"Well she called upon the sun for life, and the ancient white oak tree for one of nature's eternal objects for immortality. That night-"the fire crackled throughout the room "my father offered us wine that was laced with blood. And then he drove his swords through our hearts"

Ava's eyes widened at that, as did Elena's. Neither of them were expecting that.

"He killed you?" Elena whispered she was leaning against the back of the couch that Ava was sitting on.

Rebekah turned to face them "He wasn't delicate about it either; we had to drink more blood to complete the ritual. It was eutrophic the feeling of power was indescribable"

Ava swallowed and licked her lips she removed her feet and tucked her feet beneath her bottom

"There's more right?" she said softly

Rebekah nodded "Yes the consequences that the witch Ayanna was correct. The sprits turned on us, and nature fought back. For every strength there would be a weakness. The sun became our enemy, it kept us indoors for weeks, and though my mother found a solution, there were other problems. Neighbours who had opened their homes to us can keep us out. Flowers at the base of the white oak burned and prevented compulsion."

"And the spelled decreed that the tree that gave us life can also take it away. So we burned it to the ground" Rebekah murmured

Ava rolled her shoulders as the Original carried on with the tale "but the darkest consequence was something that my parents never anticipated. The hunger. Blood had made us reborn and it was blood that we craved above all. And we could not control it. And with that the predatory species was born" she finished off.

"Bloody hell…that was…wow" Ava was awed by the tale it was nothing like she expected. She realised one thing, the Originals were all so…human and that it was Mikael who forced this upon them. Rebekah or her siblings didn't have a choice of what they became. Ava felt a swell of pity in her gut.

"Question" Ava piped up "why did Mikael start hunting Klaus?" now that was something she really wanted to know, the hybrid had spent over a thousand years running from him and she wanted to know why.

"When Nik made his first human kill it triggered his werewolf gene." Rebekah explained "with that he became my father's greatest shame."

"Yeah" Elena nodded "Elijah told us this part of the story your mother had have an affair with one of the werewolf villagers. Klaus wasn't his son"

Rebekah poured herself another drink "She tried to make it right, she put the hybrid curse on Nik to supress his werewolf side and she turned his back on him. But Mikael's greatest weakness as a human was his pride, and as a vampire that was magnified. He went on a rampage and killed half the village, and then he came home and killed her"

Ava's jaw dropped "Mikael killed your mom?"

Rebekah swallowed "He said she broke his heart so he would break hers. He tore it from her chest as Nik watched."

Ava slumped in her seat this tale just got more and more twisted "Afterwards my father took off in a rage. And the rest of my family scattered. Nik stayed so he could help me bury her. He knew I had to say goodbye to my mother."

"So that's where that phrase came from. Always and forever" Ava murmured

"Even though he locked you in a coffin for over ninety years?" Elena glanced over to the Original

"We're vampires our emotions are heightened, I'm stubborn, Elijah is moral, and Nik…Nik has no tolerance for those who disappoint him. Over a thousand years as a family, we all made that mistake at least once. Me several times"

Ava felt a pang of hunger, screw waiting around for Damon when Rebekah was done with her tale she was going to order pizza.

"But you still love him?" Elena asked not understanding the other girl.

"He's my brother" Rebekah placed the empty glass down "and I'm immortal should I spend an eternity alone instead?" she swallowed her tears "you heard the story it's time to go-"

"I live here-"Ava frowned

"Not you. I said leave Elena" she snapped at the doppelganger "I don't know what you're up to but I'm not playing along"

Elena shook her head "I'm just looking for a reason not to wake Mikael"

"I've given you a thousand but you will anyway. I know you want him to help you kill my brother I'm not stupid-"

Elena shook her head "It's no secret that I want Klaus dead, he has a hold on Stefan's life, Ava's life and also mine"

Rebekah stepped up to her "Do what you need. Wake Mikael at your own peril, but make no mistake if you come after my brother I will rip you apart" she threatened the brunette. "And I get my temper from my father. Now leave-"

"Well-"

"Not you Ava"

"Right bye Elena" Ava called after her there was a tense silence that hanged in the air, she heard the door slamming shut. "I'm going to go order food" she literally ran out of the parlour.


Ava had just finished off a whole pizza and patted her full stomach, she heard the front door slamming and wondered out into the hallway

"Damon?" she called but it was Elena. The doppelganger had found out the real story. Ava walked towards the parlour and heard the Original

"I thought I told you to leave-"

"Whoa hold it my house so I get to invite whoever I want it-"

"I'm an Original-"

"Fairy so surpasses vamps. We have better powers-"

"How do you know that Mikael killed your mother?" Elea spoke over the petite blond. Rebekah's eyes hardened

"Nik was there he told me" Rebekah replied

Elena shook her head and stepped down the wooden steps "He lied to you" ok now Ava was definitely confused.

"How do you know that?" the Original drawled not at all interested

"The cave where you carved your family's names." Elena said walking up to the other girl, Ava stayed near the banisters and listened, "is covered in symbols. It's your story, of how your parents arrived" she placed the pictures on the table "how they made peace, and the spell that turned them into vampires. And this" Elena pointed at a specific picture "this is the symbol for hybrid." Ava inched forward "for the combination of the vampire and the werewolf symbol. And this is the one for your mother" she placed the last picture down.

"Her necklace" Rebekah murmured

"And this is the story of her death" Elena uttered "the hybrid killed the Original witch." Ava's heart skipped a beat "not Mikael Klaus-"

"No" Rebekah denied shaking her head "No he wouldn't-"

"She put the curse on him, made it so he could be the only one of his kind. And then she rejected him" Elena said fiercely "with the werewolf gene comes aggression and violence, when he turned all of that was heightened. He killed her Rebekah and made up this story so he wouldn't lose you"

Ava licked her lips nervously she could imagine this turning ugly "This means nothing" Rebekah shook her head gathering the pictures "these are stupid drawing that were done by stupid people who had no idea about my family" the Original threw them into the flames.

"Then why are you so upset?" Elena asked

"Oh my god Elena shut up" Ava said the doppelganger was asking for a slap, and she was afraid that Rebekah would do worse

"Why are you doing this to me?" Rebekah glared at her "I've done nothing to you"

"Klaus killed your mother; he has a hold on me on you on all of our lives. We have to make it stop-"

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP" Rebekah roared causing Elena to gasp "DON'T TALK ANYMORE NOTHING-"

"Elena-"Ava jumped and eased up when Rebekah let go of her friend. "You ok?"

"Yes" Elena rubbed her throat and watched as the Original fell onto her knees. Ava stiffened hearing her crying.

"I think you should go home Elena" Ava muttered.

"Ok" without another word the doppelganger left leaving behind a sobbing Original and a completely clueless Ava.

The fairy was felt awkward "Well I'm off to bed…there's some pizza left because I ordered two…so when you're done crying go and eat?" she shook her head and went to walk away but stopped. She couldn't stand the sound of the crying Original so turned back.

Ava slowly approached her and knelt down in front of the sobbing girl. She swallowed and Rebekah was surprised when the fairy awkwardly hugged her.

"I'm sorry Bekah" Ava muttered and sighed when Rebekah embraced her. The petite teen spent most of the night hugging the crying Original.


Ava sighed feeling the space beside her dip, "So you look like-"

"My day sucked" Ava cut Damon off; she had just climbed into the bed "yours?"

"We've got Mikael" Damon informed her, running his finger down her bare arm.

"That's something" Ava nodded shifting so she was facing in his direction "Anything else?"

"The Stefan plan sort of backfired…he's even a bigger dick. But now he's on our side" the vampire could tell that the fairy looked rather put out. "Ava-"

"Just tired Damon" Ava muttered she felt a swarm of emotions running through her "So weapon?"

"I think it's a stake-"

"Makes sense. Could be carved from the white oak tree" Ava sighed

"So the wall led us to Mikael-"

"More than that. I think Rebekah is on our side now" the fairy mumbled pressing her palms against her eyes.

"Really? What'd you get from her?"

"I…she's-she lost her mom…her whole world has been ripped apart. And that the Original family are seriously messed up" Ava finished off. "You did good Damon" she praised him. "You…came through and now we have Stefan. I think Stefan in the end will come through not because of his epic love for Elena…for you he will come through" Ava smiled softly.

"And why is that?" he stroked her cheek with the back of his knuckles.

"He's your family, you got that special bond" she smiled wistfully, she didn't have that bond with anyone not anymore.

"You got me" Damon pressed his temple against hers.

"I know" she breathed and smiled when he kissed her "Now…I still feel horribly depressed…so you mind sleeping on your own-"

"I got a way to cheer you up"

Ava rolled her eyes and shifted so that now she was on her belly "Please no pervy tricks" her voice came out muffled.

Damon rolled his eyes "No I've got you something that you've been dying for" he smirked; she felt a pulse of air. Ava sat up wondering what the vampire was up to.

"Eww-Damon you freak licking my nose-"

"Not me hands out Ava" Ava fingers grazed against something soft and furry

"It's not your…dick-"

"No I haven't got a furry dick" he snapped "Now take it" a soft lump was pressed into her hand.

Ava cocked an eyebrow and her fingers trailed over…"An ear?...a paw-"her eyes lit up causing the vampire to laugh "You got me a PUPPY?" she shrieked and giggled when the excited little bundle in her hands licked her face. She set the puppy down

"Ava no shouting-"he grunted when she launched herself at him

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Ava pepped the vampire's face in kisses and hugged him hard. "Oh my god. I love you soooo much-"

Damon laughed and could tell that the fairy was more than happy "Calm down princess…and your puppy is about to fall off the bed-"he just managed to catch the little dog before it could hurt itself. Damon handed it to Ava who hugged the puppy to her chest.

"What kind?"

"A chocolate Labrador, got it at the pound" Damon pulled Ava towards him so that she was in between his legs; her back was flushed against his chest. Ava scratched the excited puppy's head. It yelped and licked her face causing Ava to laugh "So what are you going to call it?" he asked

"Is it a boy or girl?" Ava countered

"Boy…I checked it's got a thing-"

"Ok-"Ava snorted "You checking out dog's penises now?"

Damon nipped her earlobe causing her to squeak "Name Ava?"

"Hmm….Damon-"

"No" he rejected immediately

"Oh Elijah-"

"No-"

"But he's sexy…hmm chocolate Labrador…oh I got it. Coco" Ava declared "you like that? don't ya Coco." The puppy in reply licked her face causing her to grin. "Who's a good boy-"

"I know Ava-"

"Not you Damon. The dog" Ava peppered the puppy's face in kisses. Causing Damon to sigh and flop down.

"The puppy will probably get more action then me" Damon muttered. And yelped when Ava slapped his chest, he caught her hand and pressed a kiss on the inside of her wrist. But the fairy was once again distracted when she the puppy nudged her hand causing Ava to stroke him.

"It's going to be a long night" he muttered and closed his eyes falling asleep to the sound of Ava giggling and talking to the latest addition of the Boarding House.
