We arrived at an airport of some kind. It must have been owned privately as there were only a few jets and smaller planes at the take off lot. When Elijah got out I knew it was time for me to get out the car. But he pushed the door back and I looked up to give some lip but he wasn't looking at me.

Walking straight to us was another man this one had a cocky smirk in place his jacket was leather and black as night. His hair was messy in beautiful sun kissed curls but it was his eyes that scares me. His eyes are a beautiful clear blue that would make anyone want to get lost in them for days but when I look closer as he came so close to car I can see an evil side.

A side that looked to have seen many horrible things and probably done some bad things himself. He looked lost yet not he must have felt me staring as his smirk and eyes landed on me from behind the glass window on the other side.

"Do you have to take the girl brother? Remember she's a teenager very difficult to handle "

Elijah's voice was a bit muffled but was able to hear it clear as day. This was his brother as Elijah helped me put that together so nice of him. So that had to be Klaus and ice water felt like it was thrown on me. His eyes never left mine and no matter how much I wanted to look away it was like something was preventing me to do so.

"If I take their daughter they will not be slow in paying me back" his voice was deep and low something that would make one swoon but unfortunately I had to open my mouth.

"Hey! I'm right here! I got a better idea send me home!"

I stumbled back into the car as he all but pulled out the car door. Slapping away his hands as he tried to reach for me but to no avail and my muscle shirt was grabbed from the front and I was yanked out and on my feet dangling a few inches off the ground as I was met with the same face as Elijah's only his eyes flashes from blue to gold.

"You will not speak to me in that manner little girl. While you are here you will treat us with the up most respect do you understand?"

"Crystal" I glared at him wanting so bad to spit in his face but mama ain't rise no fool.

"Niklaus that's enough! We need to go" Elijah said hotly pulling me down from his brothers hold. My sneakers once again on the ground. I was starting to think I was gonna be a rag doll to these people.

Klaus glared at me and turned to walk towards the jet that was already ready for take off. Elijah looked at me from the side of his eyes as he still was able to watch his brother walk away.

"It will be wise to not anger Niklaus he has a temper"

"I have a feeling it's something that runs in the family"

I turned to get my things but found that the limo driver had done it already I smiled and thanked him and his eyes widen and he smiled with such joy that one would think he never heard such words before. His eyes looked away when Klaus was besides me glaring at the poor man.

"Time to go sweetheart "

Klaus picked up my luggage and backpack and my black fur bunny fell from the small opening of the bag. I was quick to grab it and hold its soft body closer. "You're a little old for stuff animals sweetheart "

"I had Claudia since I was a baby she's family. I won't leave her behind "

Klaus had looks of amusement dancing in his blue orbs but was quick to hide with a glare as he turned to look at the limo driver.

"Be a lad and set yourself on fire"

"Wait what!?" I watched in horror when the limo driver did exactly that grabbing a can of oil and pouring it on himself as if being controlled.

"Stop!" I went to help the man but Klaus held me from the back. I turned my head and bit down as hard as I could and ran to the man who needed help. He was strong that was sure he wouldn't give up the matches he had in his pocket.

"Please don't do this!! Don't you have a family to go home to?"

I turned to Klaus and Elijah who looked at me as if I was abnormal. "Please make him stop please. I'll listen please!...he's only human" I cried as I fought hard to keep the matches the man was desperate to get a hold of.

Elijah grabbed the matches from my outstretched hands and pulled me away from the limo driver I watched a bit of wonder and scared as Elijah told the man to forget everything he seen this day and go home to his family as if nothing happened. Almost like a robot he turned and got in the car and drove off Elijah grabbing my elbow had started pulling me to a small white jet as I watched the man drive away.


The inside of the jet had tan exterior almost gold like with small but spacey seats and they happen to look comfortable. Only if I wasn't being held by two vampires who are assholes. Elijah had gestured with his hand to take a seat and I did.

It's only then did I realize I dropped Claudia. I rushed from my seat only to be stopped by Klaus who held in his hand my stuff bunny. With that smirk he held it out for me to take and with shaking hands I quickly grabbed her before he changed his mind and toss her out the window.

"Family should never be left behind" he told me with that same smirk of his I knew he was trying to intimidate me but I saw what lay behind that cold smirk and evil persona.

"Thank you" I told him softly keeping Claudia close and giving him a small smile. I saw his smirk flattering and he quickly pushed past me and I sat back down in my seat. Watching as the jet was now getting ready to take off.

I turned from the window to look at my bunny. It's shining blue eyes staring up at my own unblinking. Tears were starting to form and I had to hold them in when I felt the jet soaring into the air.

It was quiet for an hour until Elijah had sat across from me in the spacey area of the jet as I was in the back where two could be seated across from one another. I looked up when he sat across me waiting to see what he had wanted.

"What grade are you in?"

I had to blink twice at his question surely I wouldn't be with them this long. Just how long was I staying and will I get behind on my classes? I shook my head pushing that nagging feeling down.

"Uhm I was in my last semester of eleventh grade...do...I mean will I be with you that long?" I asked swallow past the big lump in my throat. Holding on to Claudia tighter.

"For your sake I hope not. However how much money your parents owe isn't exactly in your favor. You will attend school in New Orleans. Which we reside and you will be with the rest of our family. And to make things more difficult for your parents you are now Ava Mikalson "

My heart dropped like I swallowed my heart and felt it plop at the bottom of my stomach. "But that's not who I am. I'm Ava Lopez that's just...please don't "

"I'm sorry Ava. It's just the way things are. Until your parents have paid their debt you will be under our care which means your basically family"

I had to rise my finger to stop Elijah as I felt bile rise in my throat. "I don't feel so good " Elijah had moved away as I threw up and sobbed at the same time I felt someone patting my back but didn't know if it was Elijah or my imagination

I sobbed when I couldn't throw up any more I cried until sleep claimed me for it's own. That last thing I remembered was the the worried glances of Elijah and Klaus


*later that evening *

When I next opened my eyes I was in a car. A car that just happened to stop at a huge mansion and out the window I saw music being played and laughing people who walked the streets without a care in the world.

I jumped again for what felt like a million times that day and saw Klaus and Elijah had already left the car. I took my seatbelt off and got out of the now known jeep. When my feet hit the ground I swayed just a little as my vision swirled.

"Easy love don't need you to pass out"

My elbow was being held by Klaus and I nodded my head as he lead me inside. I was met with curious eyes one pair of eyes belonged to a girl that looked like the female version of Klaus. Another was that of a younger looking boy that could be my age with short messy hair and a mysterious smile.

An older looking man that looked older then Elijah and Klaus who wore a stoic face but his eyes were rather curious. Last was another man this one was of darker skin and a warm kind air yet at the same time felt dangerous.

"This here is Finn Kol Rebekah and her lover Marcel. Family this is Ava"

I didn't know weather to hold my hand out or to hide behind Klaus. But my pride made me not do either except shake my head. Kol was the first to step towards me a smile on his face made me uneasy.

"Is she a gift brother?"

My eyes widen scared as I looked between Kol and Klaus. Klaus looked ready to tear into his other brother but pushed Kol and the rest aside and pulled me still by the elbow up a spiral stair case. I looked behind as I saw Elijah talking to the others.

Kol must have felt my stare and looked towards me winking as he watched me turn a corner. I gulped and looked away wondering where Klaus was taking me. Probably a dungeon of sorts. But instead he stopped by an ivory door way that had fake vines around it looking around it matched the other doors that held the same amount of people that lived in it.

Opening it and stepping inside and nodding for me to step inside I was met with velvet walls red and light tan bedsheets and bed with creamy curtains. A bookcase in the far wall along with a desk and a close that looked to be the size of the room itself that it might as well be another room.

A flat screen was held above the small dresser with dark black carpet. The room felt expensive and it made me feel small. My room back home wasn't even this big this was a home within a home kind of room.

"This your room. Do what you wish with it. Dinner is at seven we don't do well with tardiness. I made sure all your records from your old school were transferred to the new one. Do not cause trouble of anything kind or it will be dealt with harshly."

I nodded my head as I felt my eyes water. Clearing my throat I noticed my things were missing. Along with my dads bunny I had when I was a baby. "Where's my things?"

"It seemed in your episode on the jet you threw up on your bunny a blessing if I do say so myself. Your luggage will be brought up shortly "

I felt pain grip my heart. The one thing I held very closely other then her baby blanket was gone. A depression hit me hard. "I wanna go home"

Klaus looked at me with one brow raised. He shook his head and patted my head rather too fondly. "Silly girl you already are"

I glared as he smirked back and left the room. When the door clicked I threw everything I could get my hands on and screamed. When I was done I was on my hands and knees sobbing. I didn't care who came in the room so long as they kill me.

"Ava?"

I turned to the voice finding it soft almost kind. Yet something about it seemed forced. It was the female version of Klaus, Rebekah was her name and she carried my luggage. I got up from the floor not wanting to seem weak when it was already to late I was sure everyone heard me screaming.

"I brought your things love. Are you alright?" Rebekah asked as she pushed a stray brown curl behind my ear. I felt bad when a flash of hurt crossed her eyes. Why I didn't know and I smiled and nodded my head.

"I'm fine now thanks."

"Don't fret little one I'm sure everything will be fine and you'll be back home in no time "

All I could do was smile tightly and nod my head. Rebekah smiled back and took her hand off my luggage and gave one more smile before she left the room. I waited two painfully long minutes before I moved to my things. Putting it on the bed that was now a mess I opened it.

My old baby blanket of Winnie the Pooh was still safely tucked inside I grabbed it bring it to my nose. My moms laundry detergent still lingers. I didn't care to fix the room that was now my prison leaving the luggage with my things still inside I climbed up on the bed and held my blanket like a life line and cried once again to sleep.
