"Up-"

"No-"

"Up"

Ava let out a pitiful groan when the covers were ripped from her. Damon rolled his eyes seeing her curling up into a ball. She felt the bed dip under his weight and swore

"Why do you always have to wake me up?" she muttered under her breath and shoved her head under her pillow, in a poor attempt to go back to sleep.

"Why are you always such a hassle to wake up?" he countered and easily grabbed the pillow off of her.

"Because I don't want to wake up, go away-DAMON-"she screeched when she felt herself being lifted from the bed. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"Waking you up" he smirked and carried her bridal style,

"What?" her brows knitted together when she heard the sound of running water "What are DAMON-"she screeched when he dumped her underneath the spay of cold water.

"Lovely wakeup call isn't it?" Damon snapped a picture of the fuming blond on his cell and blurred off.

Just then Stefan exited his bedroom and was buttoning down his shirt when he nearly collided with his brother

"What-"

"YOU FUCKING PRICK-"both vampires could hear the screaming blond and the sound of a body hitting the floor.

"What did you do?" Stefan asked sternly, Damon grinned and held up his cell and Stefan gaped at the sight "Damon-"

"Don't scold" Damon drawled "you wanna laugh to. She looks so adorable-"

"Maybe you'd find this adorable" both vampires head snapped up just in time to see a pink face Ava holding a bucket of water

"Ava-"she threw the bucket and grinned when she could hear swearing.

"Shame in your face Damon" she dropped the empty bucket "In your face bitch" with that Ava kicked the bucket.

"Erm Ava?" she was confused when she could hear the laughter in his tone.

"What?"

"You got the wrong vampire" Damon uttered "You hit Stefan-"

"You better run Ava" Stefan growled playfully, she didn't waste any time and sprinted off in the opposite direction.

"Are you…"the raven head vampire's question trailed off seeing Stefan running off after Ava but in a human pace. Giving the teen somewhat of an equal footing.

"IT WAS DAMON'S FAULT" Damon heard Ava yell and snorted.


Ava slipped on her jeans and pulled her t-shirt over her head. She pulled her hair out from her shirt and padded barefooted down the carpeted hallways; she had breakfast earlier and was now waiting for Caroline to show up with her outfit for the masquerade ball. Like any other event Ava was being dragged to this. She was just heading towards the parlour when there was loud knocking on the door.

"Ava it's me. Open up" Caroline called, the petite teen opened the door and stepped aside allowing the vampire in. "Oh my god-"

"What's wrong?" she frowned hearing the panic in the other girl's throat

"I saw Katherine"

"Wow—"

"Is Damon and Stefan-"

"I'll get them" Ava said ushering Caroline into the parlour

"How-"the female vampire didn't get the chance to finish her question since the petite teen showed her what she meant.

"DAMON" Caroline hissed and grabbed her ear "STEFAN. EMERGENCY…there done. Now let's get inside. All the warm air is leaving the house" she slammed the door shut.

Soon enough they were all in gathered in the parlour, Ava was sitting beside Caroline whilst Damon poured the blond vampire a glass of blood.

"Here" Damon handed it over and leant against the back of couch behind Ava.

"I'm still shaking" Caroline exclaimed taking a sip. Ava rubbed her back just as Stefan finally arrived.

"What happened?" he asked coming into the room. Caroline had briefly explained what had gone down between her and Katherine at the Grill. Ava didn't blame the vampire about being rattled. Katherine was one scary bitch when she wanted to be.

"Go ahead" Damon urged a smirk came to his lips, he idly stroked the nape of Ava's neck, which she found somewhat relaxing "Tell him"

"I saw Katherine today" Caroline told Stefan

"Where?" the younger Salvatore asked folding his arms across his chest looking at her intensely, Ava shifted in her seat slightly and tucked her feet beneath her bottom

"At the Grill" Ava answered for her "What were you doing there anyway?" she asked her.

"I just went there to…erm…-"

"Stalk Matt" Ava finished off

"How-"

"Did he see you?"

Caroline frowned "Yeah he did-"

"Oh honey" Ava whistled "I seriously need to teach you the art of stalking, you should be good at it since you're a vamp now"

"Wow Ava thanks-"Caroline grinned.

Damon and Stefan exchanged looks "Are you freaking insane? Get on with the story" he ordered.

Both Caroline and Ava frowned "No need to be mean" the smaller teen muttered and yelped when Damon tugged harder on one of her curls causing Ava to grunt. "Ssh, we want to get through this before the end of the week. Your interruptions aren't helping-"

"Well you hardly help" Ava countered

"I do have my moments-"

"Hardly-"she scoffed and whined when he pulled her hair "Quit it" she snapped swatting his hands away "Meanie-"

"You're-"

"Stefan-"

"STOP" Stefan shouted over the bickering duo "Can we get back on track?"

Ava and Damon both sighed loudly "It was Damon's fault-"

"Shush" Stefan hushed her. Ava rolled her eyes and mimed zipping her mouth shut, she yelped when Stefan reached around and slapped her lightly on the back of her head "behave"

"And you say I'm the mean one" Damon muttered under his breath.

"Caroline carry on" Stefan said ignoring his brother. The female vampire went on to explain what had gone down. Damon rested his wrists on Ava's shoulders and leant forward so that his chin was atop the crown of her head.

"You told him you needed to use the little girl's room?" Ava cocked an eyebrow "Whoa, we need to teach you to lie as well" she huffed

"Skip the teen drama" Damon drawled he rested his cheek against Ava's scalp, he could smell the intoxicating scent reaping off of her.

"Fine then I had to pretend to use the ladies room even though I really didn't need to go because I'm such a dofus-"

"No words" Stefan hissed at Ava and Damon, seeing the pair opening their mouths. Caroline then went onto explain what happened next.

"It's the hair that gives her away" Ava commented "hers is curly and we all know Elena goes for straight hair"

"Thank you for that input" Damon drawled "now can we get this along"

"She wanted to me deliver you two a message" Caroline exclaimed

"What was the message?" Stefan asked.

Ava shifted slightly causing Damon to lift his chin off of her head. She was listening to the blond vampire

"She wants the moonstone or she'll rip this town apart till it rains blood" Caroline uttered

"Tell him the rest" Ava said

"She wants it tonight at the Masquerade ball"

Ava whistled under her breath and leant back into the couch, "She wants to do it public, killing Mason threw her off guard" Stefan shook his head and ambled away.

"She's running scared" Damon tacked on "what she did to Jenna was desperate. She's running out of tricks"

"We can't underestimate her, we have to play this smart" Stefan said shrewdly

"Can't we just give her the moonstone so she would leave?" Caroline asked. Damon walked around the couch so he was standing on the other side.

"No Katherine doesn't get dick. I had it I'm going to the Masquerade ball and I'm going to kill her tonight"

Ava scoffed "In case you forgot she is much older then you so therefore stronger than you. You have to be smart Damon"

"You're not going to kill her-"Stefan started, Ava let out a loud groan

"Just kill the bitch. But be smart about it" the petite teen said loudly "You're such a goodie Stefan"

"You got that right" Damon scowled, but he quirked an eyebrow seeing the smirk on his brother's face.

"You're not going to kill her" Stefan repeated

"Oh really?" Damon drawled.

Stefan nodded "You're not going to kill her, because I am" Damon grinned.

"Ohh…Stefan is such a bad ass" Ava grinned.


Ava hummed under her breath; she was currently rummaging through the fridge,

"Ava what are you doing?" Caroline asked, she had disappeared in the last couple of hours but now the vampire was back.

"Nothing-"Ava's voice came out muffled.

"Yeah right" the taller girl scoffed "You're eating something now-oh" she giggled when Ava's face emerged from the fridge, there was cream staining her lips and a bit of chocolate.

"You ate a bun-"

"Damon's one. They are so tasty so don't tell-"

"He's coming" Caroline's heightened hearing picked up Damon's distinctive footsteps.

"Oh shit-"Ava slammed the fridge door shut and dropped to the ground.

"What are-"

"Hide" Caroline found herself crouched underneath the kitchen table with Ava. She could see Damon strolling over to the fridge.

"Now time for the bun-"he hummed under his breath. Ava pressed her hand against her mouth quietening her rapid breathing. "What the…AVA"

"I think he knows-"Caroline commented.

"No shit" Ava exclaimed and belly crawled further under the table so Damon couldn't reach her. Caroline rolled her eyes and got out from beneath the table causing Damon to spin around.

"Hey Damon-"

"You-"

"Nope not me" Caroline uttered "Ava-"she jerked her thumb towards the table that was pushed up against the wall.

"It wasn't" Ava's voice floated out.

"Then why are you hiding?" Damon demanded "You ate it, I was looking forward to hat creamy bun-"

"It wasn't me-"

"Ava-"

"Stefan did it-"

"Get your butt out now" Caroline grinned she was stifling her laughter by covering her mouth, she leant against the counter and watched as Damon knelt down and laid on his stomach so he could see Ava. "AVA-"

"NO"

"GET OUT NOW"

"What the hell is going on?" Stefan uttered coming into the room. He stopped at the doorway taking in the scene. There was Damon on the ground yelling at who he assumed to be Ava who was currently hiding underneath the table out of reach from the raven head vampire.

"You know Ava I got your outfit for the ball. You're going to look uber hot and cute-"

"Can you be both at the same time?" Ava asked "go away Damon-"

"You ate me freaking bun-"

"Go buy more-"

"I think you can be both-"

"GET OUT FROM THERE-"

"NO"

Stefan groaned "I'm going to drink myself into oblivion" he muttered and stalked out of the kitchen.

"Oh wait Stefan let me show you Ava's mask, it totally matches her outfit" Caroline scurried off after him.

Damon could make out Ava's face from the shadows "Ava get out-"

"No you're going to chuck me in the shower-"

"I won't-"

"Pfft liar" Ava scoffed and shifted away from him feeling his hand brushing against her arm in an effort to grab her.

An idea hit Damon like a tonne of bricks; he slid on back "Fine Ava stay under there. Just so you know that there is a giant spider underneath there with you"

Ava paled and screamed "ARGH NO WAY" she literally pushed herself from beneath the table and scrambled onto her feet, "IS IT ON ME? IS IT ON ME?" she spun around wildly

"There was no spider" Damon smirked

"Huh?"

"You better run Ava" Damon grinned

"PRICK-"she shouted and sprinted out of the kitchen.

Alaric had just pulled up to the Boarding House; he had gotten Stefan's call and had brought his weapons bag. He had just gotten out of the car but before he could even open his trunk there was a commotion at the front door. He paused and looked up.

"What did she do now?" he muttered under his breath seeing Damon dropping Ava onto the porch

"BAD AVA YOU STAY OUTSIDE NOW-"

"FUCKING HELL. IT WAS A CREAM CAKE" the petite teen screeched back. Alaric shook his head as Damon slammed the front door shut on her face

"This is going to be a long day" the hunter muttered under his breath. He opened his trunk up and grabbed the duffle bag, he glanced over to a pouting Ava it wasn't even a second later when the front door was yanked open, he saw it was Stefan who grabbed Ava's hand and tugged her back into the house.


"So can I keep this?" Ava asked picking up a stake; Alaric had set up and laid down all his weapons on the table.

"No" Damon snatched it out of her hand. "You're probably going to end up hurting yourself"

"She would do that-"

"Shut Up Jeremy" Ava snapped the youngest Gilbert had arrived a couple of minutes after Alaric.

"Make me-"

"Alright kiddies enough" Alaric uttered attempting to calm the situation down. "No Ava put that back-"he managed to catch the teen sneaking a vervaine dart into her pocket. Ava sighed and put it back

"Face it Ava you're not great at pick-pocketing" Jeremy grinned, Ava cocked an eyebrow and smirked

"If I am not so great, then how did I get this" she held up his wallet. Jeremy frowned and patted down his pockets and his eyes widened in realisation.

"You pick-pocketed me-"he exclaimed

"In your face bitch" Ava grinned and chucked his wallet towards him. She winced hearing him let out a curse word. "I hit him in the face didn't I?"

"You guess?" Damon drawled.

Just then there was a knock on the door "Bonnie is here" Caroline called as she went to answer the door. Damon didn't miss the way Ava's shoulders sagged slightly hearing the witch's name

"Chin up Ava" Damon grinned dropping his arm around her shoulders giving her a side hug.

Alaric picked up one of his crossbows; the hunter was giving them a brief overview of his weapons.

"Now this works with compressed air" he told them. Ava's hand trailed over the device, the history teacher quickly slapped her hand away seeing that she was heading towards the trigger. "No Ava" she rolled her eyes "now we got two of these in different sizes."

"What's this?" Ava picked up something else, damn Damon thought she couldn't keep her hands still. Whatever Ava was touching it felt soft

"Oh well for you guys I recommend this" Alaric placed the wrist device onto the petite teen's wrist and tightened it by the strap, "It fits snug on your wrist and you can hide it under the sleeve of your jacket" he explained "there's a trigger on top which releases the smaller stake. You have to punch hard-"Ava pressed the trigger, Stefan ducked just in time to avoid getting hit in the face.

"AVA-"

"Sorry" she said sheepishly and hastily went to pull the device off. Damon saw her struggling and easily unbuckled it.

"Now we know that Ava shouldn't be near the weapons" Jeremy commented, Stefan and towed Bonnie away from them so he could convince the witch to help them, Alaric started to pack away the weapons. "She's clumsy-"

"I am not" Ava snapped folding her arms she leant against the table accidently knocking the bag off of it.

"What's that-"

"Shut up Jeremy. Or I'll tell everyone what your secret obsession is" she threatened

"Oh spill-"Damon grinned,

Jeremy shot the vampire a dirty look "Ok you're not clumsy"

"There we go" Ava grinned and walked over to the couch; she dropped onto the soft material and yawned.

"You sure you don't want me there?" Alaric asked as Bonnie and Stefan joined them.

"No you need to stay with Elena, I don't want her to know about this" Stefan uttered folding his arms across his chest.

"Ok" Alaric nodded "I can do that-"

"Make sure you pay attention to her. She can be sneaky" Ava commented.

"I'll make sure she doesn't leave my sight. Ava you should stay with us tonight as well-"

"Not going to work Ric" Damon shook his head.

"Katherine is expecting Ava to show up, so she has to" Stefan uttered, it was true but he wasn't happy with the idea of Ava being in danger

"It's fine-"Ava uttered. "I'll be fine"

Stefan gazed at her for a moment "If anyone wants to back out do it now" he said. Damon was somewhat willing Ava to do that, but he knew the stubborn teen wouldn't. "I'll understand"

There was a moment of silence as the others exchanged looks.

"Yeah cold feet, speak now, I don't want this to go wrong" Damon declared "Caroline" he cleared his throat

"I won't" Caroline said determinedly "look she killed me, fairs is fair. As long as they're no werewolves running around"

Ava licked her lips and tucked in a stray curl "Oh I took care of Mason" Damon smirked

"As long as Tyler doesn't kill anyone, he won't turn" Jeremy stated. Stefan nodded and looked over to the group, his eyes landed on the only witch

"Bonnie you with us?" he asked.

"But no one gets hurt" Bonnie uttered,

"Except Katherine" Ava piped up "since that's the whole point of this mission. Is to kill her that's technically why-"Damon cut her off mid-rant by slamming his hand over her mouth.

"Katherine gets a stake through her heart" Damon said seriously.

"Deal" Caroline nodded "now are we done?" she asked. Alaric slipped on his jacket.

"Seems like it-"Jeremy uttered getting onto his feet. "I should go dig out my suit" he mumbled under his breath.

"Come on Ava let's go try your dress on. it just screams Ava" Caroline exclaimed excitedly "oh I am so going to do your hair and make-up-"she didn't give Ava a chance to argue, the female vampire grabbed the petite teen's hand and dragged her off of the couch.

"NOOO…HELP-"

"Yea Ava is so not getting out of this" Bonnie shook her head.

"BONNIE COME ON" Caroline screamed startling all the males in the room. They all winced at the high pitch of her tone.

"OWW" Ava yelled "RIGHT HERE CAROLINE"

"Oh god they're going to wreck my house" Damon muttered cringing at the thought of all the mess that was most likely be created.

"Relax nothing will happen. I doubt Bonnie and Caroline would make a mess" Stefan shook his head and picked up a weapon examining it closely.

Damon opened his mouth about to say something but before there was a loud crash and something shattering against the ground.

"AVA-"Damon shouted storming out of the parlour, Alaric, Jeremy and Stefan could hear what was going on. "WHAT THE FUCK-"

"IT WASN'T ME, IT WAS CAROLINE"

"Hey-ok it was me-"

"Oh Damon was right then" Alaric mumbled ad shook his head.

"It's Ava, she's a bad influence on them" Jeremy grinned

"FUCK YOU JEREMY. HE HAS AN OBSSESSION WITH UGLY BETTY-"

"AVA-"Jeremy sprinted out of the room, Stefan grimaced hearing a thump and an 'OW'

"What?"

"Jeremy tackled Ava" Stefan answered the hunter's question.


Ava sighed; she had just showered and was now getting ready for the ball.

"Ava hurry up" Caroline banged her fist against the door; she was going to get ready here since the pair would hopefully be sticking together throughout the night.

"I'm coming" Ava yelled back she slipped on her robe and exited the bathroom. Where she was hit with something that was lacy "Hey…wait did-oh my god you went through my underwear drawer" she exclaimed

"Yeah I have honey. Now hurry up, it's a strapless bra because of you dress now come up" Caroline uttered, Ava went behind the changing screen in her room and slipped on her underwear.

"For someone who has to have a major role in this plan you sure are eager-"

"I'm excited, if you understand what I mean" Caroline hummed, unzipping the garment bag that held Ava's dress. The vampire was already ready for the party; she just needed to do some last minute touch up on her make.

"Ava-"

"Here" Ava drawled "I feel like I'm at school" she stepped out from behind the changing screen.

"Well one big difference Ava from being at school and being here with me is…"she ushered Ava into the cushioned seat at the vanity table. "Is that I am not afraid to beat your ass"

Ava rolled her eyes as Caroline turned on the hairdryer. "Now get ready-"

"For torture-"Ava said in a deep voice.

"No mocking" Caroline lightly bopped the smaller girl's head with the back of the brush.

"Fine Caroline Forbes. Now do your thing" Ava declared

"Don't mind if I do" Caroline grinned and set about getting her friend ready for this ball. It was roughly forty five minutes till Caroline uttered she was done.

"Ta da…you look gorgeous" she took a step back to admire her work. Caroline had done light make up on Ava; she had applied a thin layer of eyeliner and put light pink/purple eye shadow on her eyelids. She knew that Ava wasn't one for heavy makeup so decided to put gloss over her lips.

With her hair Caroline had to take longer on it. She smoothed out Ava's messy curls so now they were sleek and she did her hair in a wait where half of it was pinned up while the rest cascaded over one of her shoulders.

"You're going to have the boys eating out of your hand" Caroline grinned.

"Yeah…so not going to happen. Not whilst we have a vampire to kill" Ava commented she was relieved that this part was over. "So now can I put my dress on?"

"Go for it" Caroline grinned and bounced over to the mirror. Ava picked up her dress and scurried behind the screen. She was grateful that Caroline had already undone the back for her. She slipped her feet into the dress and pulled it up. When she was sure that the bodice was fitted she once again stepped out from behind the screen.

"Care?"

"Oh yeah the back. Turn" Caroline instructed. Ava did as she was told and spun around revealing her back. The vampire easily zipped her up and lightly pushed Ava towards her bed. "Now shoes-"

"Please don't say they're heels" Ava groaned

"Well you can't wear flats with a dress like this" Caroline rolled her eyes, "now foot please"

"I can do this by myself-"

"Yeah, yeah I know but it's quicker if I do-"

But before she could even finish her sentence there was a knock on the door. "Barbie you're supposed to be gone. Now move-"

"Wait-"

"Now-"

"God how do you stand living with him" Caroline huffed. "Looks like you're going to get your wish Ava; you're on your own. I'll see you there and your mask is at the vanity table" she hugged Ava and blurred off.

Ava smiled and shook her head; she managed to pluck the buckle of her shoe and was having a tough time getting the buckles on.

"Ava come on, we're going to-"

"Shut up Damon" Stefan cocked an eyebrow he had just rounded the corner and saw his brother literally pounding his fist against Ava's door.

"What are you doing?" he asked fixing the cuffs of his shirt.

"She is taking way too long" Damon groaned "HURRY UP-"

Stefan wasn't at all surprise by Ava's response "FUCK YOU" she screeched from the other side of the door.

"And that is why you shouldn't rush a woman" Stefan smirked and waltzed off "We're leaving in five. I'll let you tell Ava that"

"Ava I'm coming in…so if you're naked well there's not much you can do about it" with that Damon flung the door open. Ok he wasn't expecting this sight to greet him, there on the edge of the bed was Ava with her face downturn, and he saw the shoes by her feet.

"Ava-"

"It's these shoes they're-"

"You would look great in them"

"I can't even put them on" she scowled; her heart rate increased feeling a large callous hand touching her foot.

"Well then let me" he murmured, Ava smiled and nodded, Damon slipped the shoe on her foot "Perfect fit, just like-"

"Don't say Cinderella, then that would be too cheesy, and we don't do cheesy" Ava uttered making the vampire laugh. "Alright well let's get a move-"he still hadn't seen her face fully.

"Yeah I…can you just get my mask for me" she asked,

"Sure" Damon looked over his shoulder and saw the pale-pink mask and gold mask sitting there. Ava stood and was pleased to note that she could balance in them. That was something; she smoothed down the dress and looked up.

"Here-Whoa" Damon exclaimed finally seeing her face.

"What?" Ava asked self-consciously touching her face. "Did Care go overboard?" she asked. She swallowed when she didn't receive an answer "Damon?"

"You…"Damon gazed at her. The vampire towered over her and gently cupped her face. She felt a tingles erupt all over her skin when she felt his thumb stroke the apple of her cheek. "Look beautiful" there was no mocking, no underlying tone of sarcasm in his tone. It was just pure sincerity; he smiled seeing the blush blooming across her pale cheeks.

"Thank you" she breathed "And…if it means anything, I'm sure you look handsome" her eyes were bright. Damon's eyes dropped down to her glossy lips.

"It means a whole lot more coming from you."

Ava cleared her throat "Well…do you mind putting my mask on?"

"I can do that" Damon murmured and stepped around so that he was behind her. He placed the mask on her and tied the satin ribbons in a neat little bow. "You look gorgeous"

"Thank you" Ava's voice was soft.

"So shall we my lady?" he linked his arm with hers.

"We shall" she grinned, she was filled with anticipation, nerves and excitement.


"Drink?"

"Sure" Ava uttered the party was in full swing and she was currently inside. She picked up a glass of whatever drink she was being offered and took a sip "Ergh" she balked at the taste and much to the waiter's disgust she spat it back out into the glass. "That is gross what the hell is that?" she uttered

"It's one of the finest Champaign's around-"

"Yeah…no it isn't" Ava shook her head. "According to who is this the best?"

"Me-"

"Pfft you got no taste-"

"And you're a little bit underclass to understand what real Champaign taste like" the waiter drawled. "Common dirty-"

"I am not common, nor am I dirty. Douchebag" Ava dropped her hands onto her hips.

"I didn't say that-"

"Your boyfriend is cheating on you" she declared.

"What?" the man asked, his lower lip trembling "No he isn't-"

"Yes he is-"

"Is not-"

"Is too-"

"He's fucking a small Asian guy in that closet-"Ava uttered

"Oh no he didn't" the waiter tutted and shoved the tray of drinks into Ava's empty hands. She left her cane at home, and was glad that Stefan didn't insist on taking it with her.

"Excuse me what type of drink-"

"Pfft" Ava scoffed "I ain't a waitress-"she shoved the tray towards the elderly lady. And could hear shouting in the background.

"JEROME YOU CHEATING ON ME?" she recognised that as the waiter's voice.

"NO I'M NOT-"

"YOU KISSED ANOTHER MAN-"

"HE'S CHEATING ON YOU" Ava pitched in to the argument.

"Who the fuck are you?" Jerome glowered at her.

"Well-"

"And this is why you shouldn't be left alone. Come on outside" Damon appeared and could see that somehow Ava was going to cause another fight. She felt his hand close around her wrist and dragged her away from the scene "There's flame throwers at the back" he told her.

He pushed other teens aside and spotted Stefan standing on the stone steps, there was music blaring from the speakers. Ava went to walk ahead but Stefan grabbed the back of her top.

"Careful" he told the younger teen.

"Damon said-"

"Not to go barrelling into the fires" Damon scoffed and dropped his arm around her shoulders forcing her to stay at his side. They were all wearing their masks; Ava fiddled with the straps of hers,

"So you see her?" Ava knew that he was referring to Katherine

"No" Stefan shook his head, his eyes were roaming all over the crowd "are you sure you can do this?"

"Who are you talking to?" Damon scoffed.

Ava cocked an eyebrow "Erm…Damon he was talking to you?"

Damon rolled his icy blue eyes whilst Stefan smirked and shook his head "I was being sarcastic Ava"

"Oh…well do a better job yeah? Good" Ava nodded.

"I had the chance to kill her and I hesitated" Stefan told him, going back to their earlier conversation

"Well that is the fork in the road between you and me" Damon stated, idly rubbing his thumb across Ava's bare shoulder "my friend. I do not hesitate"

"Well you spent a hundred and forty five years loving her. it could happen" the younger Salvatore pointed out.

"True" Ava murmured, and for some reason she found herself slightly annoyed by the idea of Damon still loving a woman like Katherine. She thought Damon could do way better than Katherine Peirce.

"I will not hesitate" Damon uttered seriously

"Ok" Stefan nodded.


"And then I swing it" Ava declared,

"What the hell are you doing?" Damon literally sprinted over towards her,

"Well I was bored and…"

"You got roped into a fire demonstration" Damon shook his head and grabbed her hand "This way"

"Wait my friend she is good-"the leading guy uttered stepping in front of the vampire

"Screw you" Damon shoved him away and dragged Ava away.

"Now that was rude" she commented

"Ava-"

"Damon-"she spoke over him, his jaw clench

"What were you thinking or were you thinking at all?" Damon uttered. He was walking through the grassy grounds, and saw another fire demonstration and was about to brush it off but that soon flew out of his mind when he saw that Ava was attempting to carry out the demonstration.

"I was bored" she simply replied.

Damon's eye twitched, he started at her face in slight disbelief. "You were bored so sought to burn yourself for fun-"

"It was harmless" Ava muttered and shook her head.

Damon sighed "I know a way to keep you out of trouble. Let's dance-"

"No-"Ava whined

"Yes" without further ado he grasped her hands, and set them in the appropriate positions. "Now we spin-"he declared. Ava giggled feeling the wind whipping through her hair. "And we dip-"he chuckled seeing her face.

"Oof" Ava grunted and was tilted backwards "I don't think I can bend this-"

"You're flexible which is always a good thing" Damon uttered and brought her back up. They swayed to the music and Ava leant her head against his chest. The vampire kept a lookout for Katherine but didn't see any sign on her. He glanced down at the woman in his arms and couldn't help but feel happiness shoot through his heart, warmth radiated off of her.

"So can you really kill her?" Ava asked quietly, Damon's hand splayed at her lower back.

"Ava-"

"Ya know I wouldn't blame you if you did. Even though it would mess up the whole ya know…but I wouldn't blame you" Ava said seriously as a breezed passed over them. Damon inhaled her rare scent.

"You wouldn't?"

"Nope" she shook her head "You love-"

"Loved her Ava. Not anymore" Damon told her "I don't love her anymore"

Ava bit her lower lip and nodded "Ok" they once again swayed to the music where she grabbed his hand "Higher you dick" she uttered feeling his hand dropping below her waist line.

"Damn"

"Damon" she snapped, he smirked and brought his hands back up to their original places.

"Oh Ava it would be so much fun if you just let me-"

"No-"Ava snorted and grinned when he twirled her around again. Damon smile slid off his face when he saw Stefan hovering on the stone steps. He could see his brother's face and knew that something must have happened.

"Ava stay out of trouble. In fact go find Caroline. You know what to do right?" he asked her.

"Yeah but-"

"Keep safe, of you end up hurt I won't be happy with you" he dropped a kiss on her head and was gone.

"And then the guy turned out to be a woman " Ava finished off her story, she was standing inside the large manor next to Caroline, the petite teen was scoffing down the tray of strawberries.

"Oh dear you don't mind if I have one?" an elderly woman asked

"Yeah I do. These are mine" Ava held onto the tray tighter

"Just one-"

"No now go away. Shoo" Ava waved her away.

"Oh my god" Caroline muttered and shook her head. "Ava share" she hissed at her friend smiling at the old lady.

"No" Ava pouted "these are mine. Go find your own" she told the woman.

"Ergh" the elderly woman stated "Bitch-"

Ava's and Caroline's jaw dropped hearing that "Whore" Ava retorted.

"Brat-"

"Why you crinkly old bat" Ava snapped

"Oh-"

"You are going to go away and forget this happened" Caroline compelled the old lady who hastily left the two blond teens. "You are so bad-"

"Hey-"

"But funny" she finished off and laughed. Ava grinned and carried on munching on the strawberries. Caroline caught sight of Matt passing through.

"Caroline, she looks beautiful…"

"Matt here?" Ava asked quietly

"Yeah" Caroline sighed as Ava frowned "Gosh Ava I haven't even spoken to him and-"

"Well go and talk to him" Ava uttered

"I can't-"

"Look we're fine, just go talk to your lover boy. Show him what he is missing" Caroline grinned

"Ok, I will here look after this" she handed the petite teen her cell phone and hurried after Matt.

Ava finished off her strawberries and felt the cell in her hand buzz

"Oh crap now I tell her to go" she muttered under her breath. She needed to find Caroline and attempted to scout out the vampire but it was highly unlikely for her to find her. Ava left the mass of party goers and opted to go and check the bathroom for Caroline, since she assumed the other girl would probably fix her make up or hair.

Ava walked towards one of the other room and her hand reached out about to grab the door handle but before she could she was slammed against the wall. She yelped when her arm was twisted

"Oww what the fuck" she yelped feeling her mask digging into her skin.

"What are Damon and Stefan up to?" she heard a familiar voice, but from the absent thoughts she knew it was a vampire.

"Argh, skinny bitch-"

"Tell me-"

"Piss off"

"Such a mouth on you" Katherine smirked "Tell me-"she put even more pressure on to Ava's arm.

"What do you mean?" Ava hissed her face was pressed hard against into the wall.

"I got Jeremy Gilbert luring me out into the woods" Katherine stated "What's that about?"

"Oh well….erm…he probably thinks you're Elena. Jeremy does drugs so if you're into that shit go for it, but don't tell anyone I told ya-oww" Ava hissed,

Katherine let out a snarl and spun Ava around and grasped her around her throat. She gasped as her back was slammed into the wall. There was an explosion on the back of her head when it hit the wall.

"Don't lie to me Ava-"

"I'm not. Gosh have some respect woman and did-"she clenched her eyes shut feeling Katherine's fingers digging into her neck

"They're up to something. What is it?" Katherine demanded, getting annoyed and impatient.

"I have no clue-"Ava groaned when she was lifted off of her feet so that she was dangling above the ground "Ok, ok….bitch….they're trying to kill you" the telepath knew the plan inside out, and she was playing her part, well technically it was supposed to be Caroline's part but she had to step in.

She coughed loudly when she felt Katherine's grip on her ease up. it was still there though.

"Figured as much-"

"Well can you blame them" Ava commented "You are a bitch, manipulate and overall not very nice-"

"Shut up-"

"You shut up" Ava snapped back

Katherine's eyes darkened "Did you tell me to shut up?"

"You said it first cow" Ava muttered and groaned when she was shoved against the wall.

"I don't have time to play games. Where is the moonstone-"

"Up your butt-"

"Ava" she snarled

"Fine" Ava scowled, god her back was aching "Bonnie has it" she muttered.

Katherine smirked "And where is Bonnie?"

"Probably doing drugs with Jeremy-"

"Ava-"

"Katherine-"

"Do not mess me about little telepath" Katherine snarled "now where is Bonnie?" she repeated her question.

"Erm…well-"she squeaked when Katherine's grip around her throat tightened and was once again lifted off of her feet. "She's upstairs" she thrashed against the vampire's grip.

"Well let's go" Katherine grabbed Ava by her blond locks and dragged her up the stairs.

"Oww…bitch I liked my hair like that and now-"

"Shut up-"

"You fucking shut up" Ava stumbled up the stairs, no doubt about it if the vampire wasn't holding her she would have fallen down the stairs.

"Stop talking-"

"Stop being a bitch"

Katherine rolled her eyes "Oh my god shut up-"

"Oh my god go fuck yourself-"Ava yelped when her hair was tugged even more harder.

They finally arrived on the landing, Damon and Stefan had made sure she knew what room to lead the vampire to.

"Which room is she in?" Katherine asked

"The first door on the left" Ava replied and was tugged forward, she felt the vampire's grip slacken and she stormed into the room. Leaving the blond at the doorway.

"Where is she?" Katherine asked looking around the room, there was no sign of body a frown marred her face hearing Ava laughing.

"Ha shame on your face bitch. Never thought you would fall for a trick like this" Ava grinned. Katherine blurred and slammed into an invisible barrier

"What the-"

"Nah…naa…naa…naa-whore is stuck in the room" Ava gloated

Katherine narrowed her eyes and the dots in her mind connected "Stefan-"

"Dun…dun…dun-"Ava sang

"Hi Katherine" Stefan appeared from behind the older vampire, he was holding the stake "Ava go-"

"Ohh…fine. Bye Katherine" Ava turned on her heel and left.


Ava rushed outside into the backyard. She followed Jeremy's thoughts and knew where to go.

"Hey we finally got that bitch in the room" she told them gleefully

"Ava?"

"Elena? You….oh damn Alaric sucks at babysitting" she muttered. Jeremy shook his head

"You are so right-"

"Shut up Jeremy no one asked for you to talk. Anyway we got her in the room and-"there was a loud scream "Ha I think you can hear her screaming-"

"Ava that's Elena screaming" Bonnie snapped.

"Oh shit" Ava exclaimed "Jeremy…erm go get a chair for her." she could hear Elena whimpering and crying in pain. She dove into her mind but couldn't get anything; it was just full of pain. Elena let out another cry of pain. Ava grabbed her to stop her from falling, she felt something wet

"What is it?"

"Blood" Bonnie uttered

"What's happening?" Jeremy asked panicking at the sight of his sister in pain. Elena screamed in pain and grabbed her bloodied arm "What's going on-"

"She's hurt. They're hurting Katherine-"

"They're linked" Bonnie finished off but before she could even get the last sentence out Ava sprinted back into the manor.

Jeremy followed on her heels, he didn't even care when Ava pushed a chubby kid over to clamour up the stairs. Ava rounded the corner and could hear the fighting from down the corner.

"STOP" Ava shouted running into the room, "STOP-"

Jeremy appeared behind her and saw Damon about to plunge the stake into Katherine's heart they had gotten here just in time.

"You're hurting Elena. Whatever you're doing to Elena is hurting Katherine" Jeremy uttered

Damon eyes widened and he straightened up he glanced over his shoulder to Ava and Jeremy, Katherine smirked and got onto her feet.

"You're not the only one with a witch on their side. I got a feeling that my witch is better than yours"

"Now…how the hell can you know that…no proof unless you test their powers or something" Ava commented but trailed off when she was greeted with silence. She cleared her throat and shifted in her heels.

"God you do talk a lot-"Katherine grabbed the stake out of Damon's hand and waltzed over to the couch but remained standing.

"God you do realise that no one likes you" Ava countered. Damon bit down on his lower lip to stifle his laughter.

"Jeremy go and check on Elena" Stefan instructed. Jeremy nodded and rushed back out "You to Ava"

"What-"

"Now" Damon ordered. Ava sighed and turned on her heel; she went to walk out but slammed into the barrier

"What the-"

"Ava you're not funny. Get out-"Damon snapped

"I'm trying" she scowled and slammed her hand against the barrier "I can't get out…what the-"

Katherine chuckled "Aww…little Ava is stuck-"

"Fuck you-"

"Jeremy could get out" Stefan frowned seeing Ava slamming her hands against the invisible barrier.

"Yes and that's because he's human" Katherine dropped onto the couch and crossed one leg over the other, "She's not-"

"Shut up-"

"So what's your gift Ava…?" Ava stopped attempting to get out and sighed. "Hmm…I think your great grandmother…was an empath and I'm guessing you're a telepath"

"How the hell do you know about my family?" Ava asked

"I know all about your kind Ava" she smirked "Now how about that moonstone?"


Ava was now sitting on top the table surface, Damon was leaning beside her whilst Stefan was leaning against the wall. The raven head vampire could see Ava scratching her skin beneath her mask.

"Here let me" Damon untied the satin bow, she let out a sigh feeling the breeze on her skin. "So Ava can't get out…you know she isn't human so what is she?" he questioned the vampire.

"I am here ya know" Ava drawled and waved her hand over herself "Right here"

"So look at this all three of together again" Katherine smirked. "Minus the telepath…the brother who loved me too much and the brother who didn't love me enough"

"And the evil slut vampire who only loved herself" Damon drawled, Ava snickered at that the vampire frowned seeing a streak of red in Ava's blond locks, he leant over and gently touched the back of her head. Ava hissed

"Oww Damon-"

"You're hurt-"

"Nothing serious" Ava muttered.

"Oh I get it" Katherine giggled watching the exchange between Ava and Damon. "So what happened Damon? You were so polite and sweet-"

Ava snorted "Sorry but Damon sweet and polite?"

"That Damon died a long time ago" Damon growled glaring at the female vampire.

"Maybe not" Katherine uttered nodding towards Ava who was idly touching the mask she had been wearing.

"He's dead to you" Damon smirked

"Good he was a bore-"

"Says the vampire who still insist on messing both brothers about" Ava drawled "Ya know…you're not all that Katherine"

"Gosh Ava such hostility-"

"Gosh Katherine I don't give a shit" Ava countered.

"Alright will you stop antagonising each other-"

"It's her-"Katherine snarled "Doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut-"

"It's her doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut-"

"Are you copying me?" Katherine bit out

"Are you copying me?"

"Do you want your throat ripped out-"

"Do you want your throat ripped out-"Ava mimicked pissing the female vampire off.

"Stop" Stefan ordered glowering at Katherine. Ava pursed her lips and tucked in a stray curl.

"Where's the moonstone?" Katherine asked

"What do you want with it?" Stefan asked back, from the corner of his eye he could see Damon shifting slightly so that he was standing protectively in front of Ava.

"You know I would say does Elena enjoy both of you worshipping at her alter? But I can see that's not the case. Since Damon is pining after someone way out of his reach" Katherine smirked. Damon stiffened and reined in the urge to tear Katherine's head off of her body.

"That was really desperate Katherine. Don't you think we can see right through you?" Stefan uttered

"So Ava how does it feel having a vampire pining over you?" Ava's eyes nearly bugged out "Oh you didn't know" she tutted "Really Damon, you're not one to hide away your feelings-"

"Fuck you Katherine" Damon snarled

"Just so you know Damon, you have no chance with Ava. From what I know she won't be around for very long"

"Is…what?" Ava asked confusion laced in her tone. Damon could see the worry in her milky orbs.

"Ignored her. Your death threats are lame Katherine" Damon sneered at the other vampire.

"Oh they're not death threats" Katherine smirked and shook her head "they're promises"

"Stop it" Stefan snarled, Damon walked over to them so that he was standing beside his brother

"Or what? You'll hurt me?" Katherine questioned "Everything I feel Elena feels.-"

"You sound like a lesbian-"Ava blurted out "And desperate. Very desperate"

"Shut up Ava-"Katherine snapped

"Shut up Ava-"Ava mimicked knowing it would annoy the older vampire.

"You know" Stefan intervened, he wouldn't put it pass Katherine to shove Ava through the window. "This whole Mason thing got me confused, why a werewolf? The moonstone can break their curse, that would help them destroy all vampires-,

"She's a screwed up bitch that's why" Ava muttered under her breath, causing both Salvatores to snicker. Damon didn't even bother to hide his grin "but she clearly only thinks about herself. So what's in it for you?" Ava asked.

Katherine smirked and blurred over to the blond causing the male vampires to stiffen, Ava tensed feeling her run a finger down her cheek "So not only do you smell divine but you're smart. They'll be very happy with that"

"I'm not a lesbian" Ava fumbled back

"Don't touch her" Damon snarled with a smirk Katherine backed away, he was once again standing protectively in front of the petite teen. "Sorry about your pet wolf-"he felt Ava gripping tightly onto his jacket. He didn't mind knowing it was a way for Ava to reassure herself. "You should have kept him on a tighter leash."

Katherine rounded on him "I'll keep that in mind for next time. He's not the only wolf in town" Ava's eyes widened in realisation.

"Tyler" she breathed.

"Ding dong and the telepath gets it. Bravo Ava I must say bravo" Katherine smirked.


"What the fuck? I killed someone-ARGH WHAT'S HAPPENING?" Ava groaned loudly and clutched her temple throbbing,

"Ava?" Damon and Stefan blurred to her side. "Ava-"the raven head vampire grasped her shoulders he saw her pale face.

"Tyler broke his curse" Ava revealed "he killed Amy something…because she…Matt failed. Whoa" Ava's eyes widened "You tried to get Matt killed?" she asked Katherine

"He's alive? Good he is hot after all" Katherine smirked

"Bitch" Ava scowled, she wanted to leave the room and head back to the party truth be told.

"Where is that witch?" Damon muttered.

"We can play charades" Katherine suggested "oops Ava seems like you can't. I forgot" she giggled

Ava giggled right back and rolled her eyes "You're insults are lame. Tiki even does better ones then you" she said.

"You bargain the moonstone" Stefan pointed out, for him things were clicking into place. He walked over to the couch and leant against it.

"What are you mumbling about over there?" Damon asked.

"You made a deal with George Lockwood to help you fake your death, you told me that you gave George what he needed, it was the moonstone." Stefan said.

"Good for you Stefan" Katherine drawled holding onto a stake "two plus two…-"

"Equals four. Finish it off then" Ava snapped rolling her eyes.

"Yes" Katherine sneered at her "It would have worked except people found out that I wasn't in the tomb. Thanks to you by the way" Damon merely raised his glass of bourbon leaning against Ava's shoulder "Did I mention how inconvenient your obsession has been"

"Hmm…you and I both honey" Damon downed his drink.

"Why do you need it back?" Stefan asked staying on track he wanted to figure this mystery out.

Katherine canted her head to the side "I love you in a suit" she declared "So dashing-"

Ava groaned loudly "Do you have any other adjectives in your vocab?" the blond questioned "so lame-"

"Unless it wasn't yours to begin with" Stefan uttered his brows knitted together.

"She stole it" Ava said clearly

"You guys are wasting your breath" Damon drawled but neither Stefan nor Ava thought so.

"In 1864 you faked your death" Stefan murmured.

"You're running from someone, someone who is much more powerful than you" Ava said softly, she was still on the table surface, her feet dangled over the edge it, and at least she wasn't on her feet.

"In 1987 you was in Chicago at a concert of all places. With that wench Lexi-"

"Oh do I sense jealousy?" Ava uttered.

"I think you're right" Damon smirked

"Come on Stefan don't look so surprise, of course I checked in on you over the years. You was standing in the front row, dancing all night. You were watching Bon Jovi and I was watching you-"Ava's eyebrows shot to her hairline hearing that.

"You are so desperate Katherine and creepy" Ava huffed "Got to say Damon you had a lucky escape"

"You're telling me" Damon shook his head walking over to the liquor cabinet to pour himself a drink.

"Who were you running from?" Stefan asked glancing over to Ava who was still sitting on the edge of the table; she swung her feet back and forth. Instead of getting a verbal answer the female vampire mouthed 'I love you'

Ava groaned and hopped onto her feet

"Ava over here" Damon called the teen over, she walked over to him and traced her finger around one of the many rims of the cups.

"We're missing the party" Katherine commented

"No shit Sherlock" Ava muttered as Damon poured himself a drink.

"I'll have one of those" Katherine said seeing Damon pouring a glass of whisky

"Right away Miss Katherine" he said in a high pitch voice. Ava snorted

"Crappy drag act. Try and get that pitch a bit higher" she uttered, Damon shook his head as Katherine snatched the drink out of his hand. She shouldered pass the smaller girl nearly knocking her face first into the table. Damon grabbed the back of her dress to stop her doing a face-plant.

"Thank you" Katherine took a sip of her drink. Ava jumped hearing the glass shattering and something being slammed into the wall.

"Damon no"

"Stop Damon" Ava shouted grabbing ht back of the vampire's suit jacket. "Elena she is link to Elena."

"Stop" Stefan grunted

"Don't do this" Ava said quietly, all three vampires could hear her quick heartbeat. Damon inhaled loudly and Ava's scent somewhat managed to calm him.

"Yes Damon please" Katherine smirked

"As soon as this spell is lifted I'm going to drive this stake through your heart" he promised glowering at the woman.

"God you're hot" Katherine purred "when did you get so hot-"

"God you sound even more desperate" Ava countered "Step off bitch. No Salvatore boys give a shit about you" she uttered. Damon stepped back taking Ava with him. He wrapped an arm around her waist seeing a witch waltzing into the room holding the moonstone up.

"Katherine the spell in this room has been broken. You're free to leave" the new witch declared. Ava gripped onto Damon's arm and scoured her mind, was she related to Bonnie? She thought

"Thank god" Katherine shuffled over to the witch

"When I hand this over to you me debt to you is over" the woman uttered as Stefan and Damon watched on. Ava's ears perked up listening to whole scene taking place.

"Done-"

"I owe you nothing-"

"I said done. Now hand it over" Katherine ordered

"I wouldn't do that" Damon shook his head

"Don't" Ava uttered "She's a major bitch and she'll somehow get you back into this"

But the witch handed the moonstone over to the vampire, the smirk on Katherine's face was wiped off of her face, as she gasped and groaned in pain.

"Is she asthmatic?"

"No Ava" Stefan replied "It's the witch"

The witch glared at a gasping and gagging vampire "You should have told me that another witch was involved. She's a Bennett witch Katherine but I'm sure you knew that" Katherine dropped to her knees.

"Wait Elena" Stefan called out

"She's fine" Ava replied for her "Bonnie is healing her"

"Good to know you picked that up" the witch smiled "I always wanted to meet one of your kind" she could see it; it was as if a light was reeking off of her.

"You're Bonnie's cousin right?" Ava asked

"You're right. The spell is broken" Katherine collapsed onto the ground, she was unconscious.

"I apologise for my involvement" the witch exclaimed "Hope to see you soon Ava" with that she turned on her heel and left.

Ava whistled "Wow she's epic" she exclaimed

"So what are we going to do with her?" Damon lightly kicked Katherine's leg.

"Lock the cow up somewhere. And send Tiki down there to teach the bitchy vamp to teach her some decent insults" Ava uttered.

Damon smirked "I got an idea where to put her. And no Ava we're not locking Tiki down there" he said. "You go back to the party enjoy yourself."

"We'll take you home later" Stefan told her.

"Cool" Ava grinned and headed out of the room, but before she did she turned back and dropped a swift kiss onto Damon's cheek "Bye" she called over her shoulder.


Katherine gasped waking up; she looked around in confusion where the hell was she? She thought

She glanced over to her right and saw the moonstone, her hand closed in on around it. The vampire used the wall to help herself stand up. She saw the exited and was about to run out of it but slammed into an invisible barrier. From out of the shadows appeared Damon his face was void of any emotion

"Hello Katherine" he felt nothing in his heart for her, any feelings he had before were long gone

"Where am I?" she asked

"Where you should have been all along" Damon responded "I thought you'd learn your lesson by now. Don't mess with a Bennett witch."

Katherine shook her head "You should have killed me"

"Death would have been too kind" Damon snapped

"No Damon don't" Katherine whimpered as the other vampire gripped onto the tomb door

"Damon don't you need me…Elena's in danger-"he didn't listen "Ava is in danger" he froze hearing that

"From who?" he asked

But Katherine remained tight-lipped "You're lying you're always lying"

"Why do you think I haven't killed Elena yet? She's the doppelganger…and Ava is…her kind is non-existent. Ava needs to be protected. She needs to be protected….they would take her away Damon and you will never see her again" Katherine cried out.

"Then I will protect Ava "Damon snarled "I will protect her while you rot in hell" he slammed the tomb door shut on Katherine's cries.


"And dun…dun…dun-ta da. All gone" Ava grinned "How is that for a magic trick?" she asked the group.

"Ava you ate it-"

"And that's why Mary you're having problems with work you need more imagination" Ava pointed out; she yawned and headed outside to wait for either Damon or Stefan to take her home. She had bid some of the partygoers' goodnight and was now waiting in the parking lot.

"Where are you guys?" she muttered under her breath.

"That's her-"Ava's eyes widened hearing the thoughts coming from behind her.

An arm slammed around her waist and was lifted off of the ground. A cloth that was drenched in chloroform was slammed over her mouth, she kicked out trying to get help, but her limbs were getting weaker. Ava gave into the darkness.
