"And then the douchebag ate all my pancakes" Ava exclaimed, she was currently at the tomb's entrance talking to Stefan.
"Seriously Ava, it's like six in the morning-"Stefan shook his head, he was leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
"Yeah well Demon-I'm going to call him Demon because that's what he is-"Ava frowned "he thought it'd be funny to wake me up at five because he felt like it"
For the last half an hour Stefan had been listening to the petite teen's rants. Stefan was talking to Katherine beforehand and they both jumped hearing someone entering the underground lair, they had gone to investigate and saw Ava waiting there with a scowl on her face.
"Ava-"
"And then when I didn't get up-"she carried on, Stefan groaned and slid down the wall "wait! Are you sitting down?" she asked
"Yes but-"
"Good shows that you're listening, I'll sit down as well yeah?" Ava grinned and plopped down on her bump
"Ava maybe you should…your legs, you're wearing a skirt-"
"Oh" Ava blushed and opted to sit on her knees, she was wearing a denim skirt and a light orange racer back top, with a white lace overlay. "So I'll carry on yeah?"
"No" Katherine snapped "go away you're annoying-"
"Katherine" Stefan growled in warning causing the female vampire to narrow her eyes, he never once been this protective of her before. She felt a bout of jealousy, the little fairy unknowingly had something she wanted, and that was attention and love from the Salvatore brothers.
Ava licked her lips "If you don't want to listen kitty Kat go away, you look annoying-"
"You can't see-"
"And you can't seem to grasp the concept of sarcasm" Ava countered, causing Stefan to let out a loud guffaw. "So can I get back to my story-"
"No" Stefan and Katherine called out in unison.
"Anyway…I know you want to know" Ava shook her head, "so he dumps me in a shower and then ate my pancakes-wait I told you that. Well the moral of the story is that Damon is a bigger dick when you're not around Stefan" she shifted so she was closer to the entrance "So please…please…abandon this bitch-"
"Hey-"
"Not talking about you kitty Kat" Ava rolled her milky eyes; "I am" she mouthed to Stefan causing the vampire to chuckle. He was incredibly bored before Ava was here and had just been staring at the wall but now the little blond once again managed to make him smile. "Anyway come home…I miss you" she whined "You're much better than demon-"
"Speaking of Demon, does he know you're here?" Stefan cocked an eyebrow,
"Erm…yeah totally-"
"Ava you can't lie" Stefan uttered folding his arms across his chest. It was true the blond was a terrible liar; she would either babble some random story or go red in the face.
"He was annoying-"she pouted looking like a five year old, she had taken her cane with her so she wouldn't stumble as much. "Now please come home…I like you more-"
"Ava-"
"What the hell?" Damon stormed down the stone staircase, a scowl on his face. "You disappeared."
"You were mean-"she countered, Ava opted to work through her feelings for Damon. It was quiet a turnaround for her, she hadn't even thought of him as a love interest truth be told.
"Up now-"
"No-"
"Up Ava" much to Stefan's amusement Ava flopped down onto the ground dramatically and clenched her eyes shut. "Move Ava-"
"I'm unconscious so I can't hear you" Ava uttered,
Stefan shook his head, and Damon clenched his fists "Ava I swear to god move your ass now. You're didn't even eat your breakfast-"
"Because you ate it all" she scowled and rolled over to that she was on her stomach.
"Rose made you more. Wait is that why you ran out?" he scoffed,
"Can you all just go away-"Katherine snarled she was getting a headache from all the noise they were creating.
"Kitty Kat-"
"Don't call me that" the vampire snapped
"Kitty Kat-"Ava carried on regardless "Stefan can't go anywhere he's trapped with you so your comment is null really-"
"Go away" Katherine snarled
"Mean-"Ava declared "You're mean, Damon is mean and the only nice one is Stefan and-"the fairy shook her head, she pointed a random direction, she was meant to be aiming for Katherine but her finger was far too high.
"Ava go home and eat your breakfast" Stefan said sternly
"Damon ate it-"
"And Rose made more. Now move your perky ass" Damon growled. Ava scowled and remained where she was, which was on the floor. The vampire snarled and scooped Ava up so that she was now flung over his shoulder.
"Hey-STEFAN SAVE ME-"she shrieked, causing Damon to wince at the loudness of her voice.
"He can't and stop shouting-"Damon swatted her bottom causing her to yelp "We're leaving-"
"NOO-"Ava attempted to grab the walls as he walked out, "STEFAN-"
"Shut up AVA-"Damon snapped, she kicked her leg out hitting him right in his crown jewels. He abruptly dropped her and fell to his knees.
"Oww" Damon let out a pained groan.
"Erm Ava I think you should run" Stefan said having witnessed the whole scene.
"You better run" Damon's voice was hoarse and gruff. The blond scrambled to her feet
"Is he mad?" she asked
"Raging" Katherine smirked, much to the vampire's surprise Ava ran into the tomb and she tripped over a rock but Stefan caught her to stop her from falling.
"So instead of facing an angry vampire-"
"I'd rather be in the tomb with Katherine" Ava said hiding behind Stefan "I know the world is ending"
Ava yawned and flopped down on Elena's bed, she stretched her legs out. The blond was currently in the Gilbert house.
"So Bonnie is coming round" Elena said entering the room, "here's some chips and dip" she placed it right next to Ava.
"Hmm" Ava's half mumbled reply came; she sat up and grabbed the bowl.
"Are you ever going to make it up with her?" Elena asked quietly, it was no secret that the blond wasn't on speaking terms with the witch. Even though the witch had attempted to reach out to her but Ava wasn't interested.
"Elena, I honestly don't care-"
"It's over ten years of friendship Ava you can't throw it away-"Elena snapped
Ava scowled "I didn't. She's the one who-"
"Ava Bonnie didn't kill your grandmother" Elena spoke over her. She saw the expression on the fairy's face.
"I-"
"You shouldn't blame her. You're just still so mad about this and-"
"Look I don't need to talk Elena. It's done its over-"Ava sneered the doppelganger folded her arms across her chest
"If it's over then why aren't you still not speaking to Bonnie?" Ava didn't know what to say, she couldn't hold a grudge to save her life. And they all knew this, particularly Caroline and Elena knew this, whenever they would argue Ava would declare that she would never speak to them again, and the next day she would return saying she got bored.
"Ava you really need to move on, otherwise you're going to lose one of your best friends" Elena said, she stood in front of the smaller teen and gently wiped her mouth. "Just try ok?"
"Elena-"Jeremy called up the stairs, "Bonnie is here"
"Be nice Ava." Elena instructed and turned to look at Jeremy and frowned "well where is she?"
"At the door-"
"He didn't answer it" Elena rolled her eyes and walked out of the room; Ava dropped down on the bed and picked up the bowl of chips.
"So why didn't you let Bonnie in?" Ava questioned and felt the bed dip down besides her alerting her that Jeremy was sitting beside her.
"I wanted this" with that he snatched her bowlful of chips out of her hands. Jeremy instantly jumped off the bed and was right in front of the teen
"You bloody bitch-"Ava exclaimed "Give me my chips-"
"They're mine" Jeremy grinned he loved messing about with Ava, she was a laugh "It's my house-"
"I got them-"
"You stole them" Jeremy pointed out "Always taking my food Ava."
Ava pouted causing the younger teen to groan "No…"Jeremy sighed "Don't do that, you look cute and ergh…how about I give you this if you can get-"he yelped when the fairy leapt on him knocking him to the ground. "AVA-"
"MY CHIPS-"Ava shouted
"NO MINE- SOMEONE SAVE ME-OH YOU SPAT IN THE BOWL-"Jeremy shrieked.
Meanwhile on the staircase Elena and Bonnie and heading up to the doppelganger's bedroom, "So you really-"whatever Elena was about to say flew out of her mind as soon as she opened the door.
"Wow" Bonnie gaped at the scene. There right in front of them was Ava and Jeremy wrestling on the ground with chips all around them.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Elena shouted causing the fairy and the teen to freeze "you made such a mess-"
"It was Jeremy" Ava yelled but her voice came out muffled since Jeremy had the side of her face pinned to the ground.
"No it was her-"his voice came out garbled as well since Ava was attempting to shove a fistful of chips into his mouth.
"You" Ava shouted-"
"Enough" Elena ordered, god she felt like a very stern mother at the moment "I don't care who started this, I am finishing this and-Ava stop shoving the chips into his mouth" she snapped. Bonnie couldn't help but giggle at the sight, there was Elena attempting to restore order but Ava and Jeremy were still discreetly fighting.
"He wanted the chips so I'm giving it" she grinned and cringed when Jeremy shoved chips into her hair "NOO NOT THE HAIR-"
Ava elbowed him in the face causing Jeremy to cry out, Elena sighed and knew the pair wouldn't stop if she didn't intervene, so with that though in mind she pinched both of their ears and forced them on to their feet.
"Oww-"Ava cried out stumbling on to her feet
"Not cool Elena-"Jeremy said through gritted teeth.
"Do not care. Now clean up both of you" she commanded,
Ava grumbled "Your sister is such a bit-OWW" she screamed when Elena tugged even harder.
Soon enough the room was cleaned but it was more to do with Elena and Bonnie doing the work, whilst Jeremy and Ava pretended to do it.
"Here Ava I'll take this" Bonnie uttered taking the dustpan off of her,
"Fine" Ava muttered
"Look Ava I am sorry for what happened" the witch said "I know we haven't been talking for the last couple of weeks but I really miss my friend"
Ava licked her lips and tucked in a stray curl "Ok, I….sort of missed you too-"Bonnie snorted and stumbled back when the blond hugged her tightly
"Just know that Bonnie if you ever piss me off again I'll…ok I haven't thought of the rest of my threat through-"
"That's obvious-"
"SHUT UP JEREMY-"with that Ava flung the empty bowl at him remarkably she managed to hit him straight in the face.
"OWW MY FACE-"
"HA IN THE FACE-"Ava slapped her knee laughing hard. Elena sighed and shook her head she grabbed the book that Jeremy was about to launch at the fairy.
"Alright that's it time out for both of you" she said sternly.
When the pair of teen's time out finished, Ava found herself sprawled out on Elena's bed. Bonnie had just shown Elena and Jeremy the moonstone. The doppelganger handed it over to Ava who ran the pads of her fingers over the smooth surface.
"Hmm…it's polished and…kind of feels like a shiny rock" Ava uttered pushing herself up against the headboard.
"It looks like one" Jeremy said lying down beside Ava,
"So now that you have it back what are you going to do with it?" Elena asked
"Well" Bonnie sat down on Ava's other side and took the moonstone off of her, "right now it's what is binding the sun and the moon curse." She explained "if I can figure out how to remove the spell from the stone well than the stone becomes useless-"
"Dun…dun…dun" Ava said dramatically causing Jeremy to snort and pull her hair, in retaliation she knocked him off of the bed.
"Oww" he groaned, the trio of females ignored him.
"And according to Katherine Klaus becomes vengeful-"
"Maybe-"
Ava scoffed "There's no maybe Bon, the dude ripped apart a little village because she crossed him" she uttered.
"It'll only happen if he finds out" Bonnie countered.
Ava cocked an eyebrow and was about to make a smart-aleck comment but Jeremy placed his hand over her mouth effectively shutting the blond up.
"Oww" Jeremy pulled back "You bit me-"
"Yeah—"
"Can't this wait?" Elena spoke over the bickering pair "Stefan is stuck in the tomb with Katherine can't this wait?" she asked "We got to get him out"
Bonnie shook her head "Stefan wants me to focus on this."
"Well don't listen to him, he thinks his protecting me but his wrong-"Elena said taking a couple of more steps towards the bed.
Ava cleared her throat "No if you don't listen to Stefan he gets mad. Trust me"
Jeremy cocked an eyebrow and canted his head to the side "You sound like you're speaking from experience"
"I am" Ava rolled her milky green orbs she leant her head back against the headboard.
"We're not going to let you Elena be used in a creepy sacrifice and Ava…I don't know what he wants with you" Bonnie stated, Ava's brows furrowed damn she forgot that there were several people who didn't know what she was. The witch shoved the moonstone into her bag and jumped off of the bed
"I need a coffee" Bonnie exclaimed "now we're going to have to test her"
Ava frowned and shrugged it off having no clue what the witch was on about, she swung her legs out of the bed "I want some more chips" she muttered following Bonnie out.
Ava bounded down the staircase and headed straight into the kitchen, she rummaged through the cupboards as Bonnie made herself a mug of coffee. "Ava? What are-"
"I know where Jeremy hides his pop-tarts and voila" Ava exclaimed triumphantly pulling out a box pop-tarts "I found them. So what's this plan you were thinking about?" she asked. Bonnie's eyebrows shot to her hairline hearing her.
"Wait what-"but the blond already had walked out just as Elena came down the stairs,
Bonnie followed behind her wondering how the hell Ava found out about that, she was curious about the petite teen. Unlike the feeling of dread when she touched vampires, the witch was filled with warmth and light when she touched Ava. Bonnie had attempted to look up what Ava was but couldn't find anything.
"Where are you going?" Bonnie asked the doppelganger.
"Erm…to see Stefan" Elena replied casually shifting her keys from one hand to the other.
"You're lying" Bonnie caught her out.
"No I'm not" Elena said trying to push pass the witch but Bonnie blocked her. Meanwhile Ava moved over to the front door to pick up her cane.
"Tell your face" Bonnie exclaimed
"Are you serious?" Elena asked
"She took the moonstone" Jeremy exclaimed coming down the staircase holding onto Bonnie's bag.
"How did you-"
"Duh" Ava rolled her eyes "They tested you, by planting the moonstone into Bon's bag to see if you would take it. Which you did. So hence you failed their little test" she uttered
Elena looked at the trio and shook her head "Klaus killed Katherine's entire family just because she crossed him. I can't let that happen"
Bonnie shrugged her shoulders and stepped aside allowing Elena to walk pass her, Ava was aware that Elena opened the door because she could feel the light breeze on her skin.
"What the?" Elena exclaimed when she slammed into an invisible barrier "What did you do?"
"It's for the best Elena" Bonnie said softly
"What's going on?" Ava asked confusion written all over her face.
"I trapped Elena in and you" Bonnie explained.
Ava frowned "Wait you work your witchy powers on me? But I was going to the Grill-"
"No-"
"I can't exactly go find Klaus now can I? Plus you got the moonstone" Ava muttered she didn't want to be trapped she had a free day and she was intending to enjoy it. And that wasn't going to happen if she was stuck here.
"Hey Ava why don't you try and see if you can go-"Jeremy grinned
"No he just wants to watch you slam in to the wall" Elena rolled her eyes. "Ava don't-"but the blond ignored them and stepped over the threshold.
"What the?" Bonnie questioned, it was meant to trap Ava as well.
"Ha there ya go Jere" Ava grinned and held up the box of pop-tarts. "And I got this, buh bye-"
"They're my pop-tarts" Jeremy shouted running down the stairs, but the blond was already sprinting down the drive way.
"How did she even get out? it was-"
"Meant to trap humans?" Elena questioned
"So how-"
"I'M A FAIRY" Ava screamed just as she rounded the corner. Jeremy cocked and eyebrow and turned to his sister
"Is she high?" he snorted
"Nope" Elena replied with a smirk on her lips "Ava is a fairy"
"Damn it" Bonnie muttered "Should have guessed" she stalked off upstairs whilst Elena headed off into the living room. Leaving Jeremy by the front door.
"Wait are you serious?" Jeremy yelled "and she took my pop-tarts" he added on.
Ava entered the Grill and could hear the sound of the music and chatter in the background. She walked further in.
"Oh look who it is" a familiar voice sneered,
Ava rolled her eyes "Seriously I'm trying to remember a time when you weren't around, go away Tiki, there's a street corner with your name on it" she drawled idly rapping her fingers against her cane.
"You think you're so funny don't you?" Tiki sneered her hands on her hips, they were standing near the bar area. "Now-"
"Look Tiki I'm busy right now can I ignore you later?" Ava questioned, just a couple of tables away Caroline sat, she snorted hearing her friend. She opted not to intervene since the vampire wanted some entertainment.
"Well yeah?" Tiki spluttered "I heard your mother has a loud bark" she cackled
Ava cocked an eyebrow "My mom is dead so that's not funny" she exclaimed "Look Tiki I can do this all day but I don't want to get infected by you. After all there's no vaccine against stupidity" she grinned brightly. The patrons who heard the fairy laughed hard.
"You little-"
"Ok" Alaric stepped in; he had just entered the Grill and saw a very cheeky blond by the bar. "That's enough-"he grabbed Ava gently by the scruff of her neck and ushered her off.
"Well Ava in the dictionary if whore is in there you're-"
"I said that insult before you dumb cow. And I said it better" Ava yelled as Alaric literally pushed her into a booth. "Ava-two Tiki- nil"
Tiki stomped her foot and stalked off out of the Grill, causing Ava to giggle, "If anyone wants to applause me go right ahead I don't mind-" Alaric gently slapped her upside the head
"Alright that's enough" he said. Ava narrowed her eyes
"I know you want to laugh Ric go ahead-"
"No-"
"Yeah ya do" Ava grinned, the pair of them were sitting in a booth, the hunter took the seat opposite her.
"I don't-"
"No-"he had hard time restraining himself but he couldn't hold it in anymore when Ava out of nowhere pulled out a box of pop-tarts. "Ava did you steal-"
"Only off of Jeremy" Ava said as she ripped open the box and took a handful of pop-tarts and started to munch "so it doesn't really count" she said.
"You're unbelievable" Alaric shook his head; she offered him the box he took one piece and took a bite. Oh this was good, damn now he knew why she was so obsessed with these at times. They were delicious
"Thank you" Ava grinned and carried on eating, just then Tyler hurried into the Grill and made a beeline towards Caroline, "Ric-"
"Hold on a sec Ava. We're eavesdropping" he whispered,
"Oh snap ok I can do that" Ava nodded, her hearing was better than most people, and she could easily hear what was being said between Tyler and Caroline. "Oh crap, there's going to be an investigation now isn't there?" she muttered. Caroline strolled out after Tyler and glance over her shoulder where Alaric nodded silently telling her that they heard.
"We need to call Damon" Ava exclaimed.
"Yeah come on" Alaric got onto his feet, he grasped her hand and used his other to dial the vampire's number, the pair moved over to the bar. "Sheriff Forbes has officially declared Mason Lockwood a missing person" Ava settled at the bar "Apparently some girl from Florida was asking about him…I don't know but she sure got people in a tizzy. It's not good"
Ava set her cane beside her and placed her elbows on the wooden countertop. "I'm at the Grill…yeah Ava is here…she's fine. Causing problems?" the hunter snorted "When isn't she causing problems-"
"Hey" Ava said offended "I never cause problems, I can be good-"she rolled her eyes when Alaric burst out laughing
"Oh shit Ava" Alaric laughed, she huffed she could even hear Damon laughing on the other end. "Oh Ava you're funny-hey-"he yelped when she snatched his cell out of his hand and much to his horror Ava dumped it in a pile of dip beside her.
"Oi-"the portly man exclaimed "that's mine. I was eating-"
"Oh…"Ava bit her lip "well maybe you should think of cutting down. Otherwise your wife Mindy will carry on cheating. Isn't that right Mindy?"
Alaric's eyes widened taking in the scene, he watched as the chubby man look at who he assumed was his wife; the dark haired woman stammered something and practically ran.
"MINDY? MINDY-"the big man wobbled out.
"Ava how the hell…?" Alaric picked out his cell from the bowl of dip and wiped it down.
"Oh that…I guess. Seems I was right" Ava grinned "CARRIE? IS CARRIE HERE?"
"Jesus" Alaric clutched his ear "you need to be so loud?" he asked as Carrie rushed over to them.
"Yes" Ava said seriously "Hey Carrie, can I have my usual?"
"Sure honey. If you're interested they're setting up a karaoke machine. Duets are happening" she informed the bubbly teen and scurried off to get Ava's order.
"Oh Ric you wanna-"
"No" Alaric scoffed no way in hell was he going to get up on stage and sing.
"Oh" Ava whined "come on we can do Grease or-"
"No"
Ava slumped in the stool.
"Is he here yet?" Ava asked, her and Alaric were waiting for Damon to show up, as well as this woman.
"Nope-"
"How about we do some karaoke to pass the time?" Ava suggested. Alaric snorted and shook his head.
"Nope-"
"Ergh…Ric come on" Ava pleaded "Where's Jeremy? He would do Grease with me" she huffed. She downed the rest of her soda and paused momentarily.
"So this…is the Grill-"
"Our werewolf is here Ric" Ava whispered, Alaric glanced over to the entrance and saw a blond haired woman entering the Grill.
"You're right" Alaric whispered back.
"This is awesome it's like we're on a stakeout. Should I attract her attention-HEY-"
"Ava" Alaric pulled her back down and slammed his hand over her mouth "No. bad Ava we're not doing that"
Ava pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Why the pouty face?" Damon questioned taking the seat on her other side.
"Ric is mean-"she grumbled
"What?" Alaric exclaimed and rolled his eyes.
"I know what would cheer you up-"
"You'll sing Grease with me?" Ava grinned, Damon snorted
"No way in hell. This'll cheer you up" with that the vampire swiftly kissed her cheek, Ava felt tingles erupt all over her.
"I'll rather sing" she muttered causing Alaric to snort.
Damon rolled his eyes "So this is Mason's mystery girl?" he murmured his eyes landing on the newcomer.
"Yeah, where is Mason anyway?" the hunter asked eyeing the woman.
"Ya know" Ava drawled "You guys look like a pair of perverts if you both stare at her"
"She's right. Ric look down or something" Damon uttered "And Mason is decomposing in his truck"
Ava scrunched up her nose in disgust. "You should at least bury the hottie-"she muttered.
Damon guffawed "He attacks you-"
"Yeah but he was still a hottie" Ava picked up a fry from her plate and ate it.
Alaric shook his head; he had long come to the conclusion that the blond teen's logic was vastly different from his own. "So do you think she's a werewolf?"
"I hope not being that it's full moon Ric" Damon exclaimed he pulled out a small plastic bag "we should find out"
"And what is that?" Alaric asked taking the packet off of the vampire.
"Wolfsbane" Damon smirked, as Ava took the packet
"Oh are we hatching a plan?" she grinned "Want me to do the deed or-"she hopped off of the stool and was about to make her way over to the mysterious woman. But Damon grabbed the back of her top causing her to tumble into his lap.
"Pfft you're not going anywhere with this. Knowing you Ava you would chuck it in her face" Damon scoffed "I got a better plan"
Ava cleared her throat and clutched onto her cane as she stumbled over to the bar. She scrunched the packet of Wolfsbane in the palm of her hand. She would have to splash it in her drink if she could. Damon was waiting a couple of feet away, if he saw her sinking he would step in.
Ava bumped into the bar and dropped her cane "Oops-"
"Oh let me" the woman exclaimed and bent down to pick her cane up. The werewolf narrowed her eyes and sniffed discreetly. She could already tell that the blond was different
"Thanks" Ava grinned "So fancy taking any wo-"
"Hey" Alaric exclaimed acting drunk. Damon shook his head and ran his hand down his face. He knew it wasn't wise to let her go in like that. "Can I have a scotch and whatever this beautiful woman is having?"
Ava cleared "And whatever the kid is having-"
"Kid?" Ava huffed
"One is enough for me-"
"Oh come on, it's not like I'm a freak-"
"He just has major mental issues" Ava piped up "and he licks things-"
Alaric glowered at the teen damn she was asking for a spanking or something "Yeah but other than that. I am not a freak" he slurred getting back into his role. "I'm just being friendly to someone new in town-"
"And he wants to get in your panties" Ava grinned. Alaric groaned under his breath, perhaps bringing the blond wasn't a good idea.
"Ok…"the woman trailed off looking slightly alarmed "How did you know I'm new?"
Alaric grinned "Because I am in here a lot, and I mean a lot-"
"A lot. He practically lives here right? Right-"
"Here your drink" Alaric slid the glass of soda wanting the teen to shut up, he discreetly took the plastic bag off of her thinking it be best if he was the one who spiked the woman's drink. "I'm in here every night-"
"And he gets stinking drunk. Do you know he was trying to convince me to get on stage and sing Grease with him?" Ava questioned dramatically. Alaric forced himself not to defend himself "That's how big of he is-"
"Ava" Damon appeared behind the fairy. "There ya are. Are you hanging out with the town drunk again?"
"She's an annoying kid" Alaric grumbled
"Hey" Ava exclaimed
"So is this guy bothering you?" Damon asked the woman whose eyes were darting between the trio.
"I'm not bothering anyone" Alaric held up his hand, Ava had to hand it to her history teacher he could act his socks off.
"Perfect do it elsewhere" Damon said. Just then the barman placed their drinks in front of Alaric "Don't worry he's harmless" the vampire uttered catching the woman's attention, "He's just the town's drunk and when we get tired of him-"
"We lock him in the closet." Ava uttered
"No" Damon grinned "we send him off in a cab taking him back to wherever he came from. My ward here-"Ava's eyes widened at that, ward? "She's so cheeky-"with that he pinched her cheek "isn't she cute-"
"Alright old man quit it" the blond swatted his hand away. And idly rubbed her cheek.
Alaric slid the spike drink towards the woman "Please don't talk about me like I'm not here" he slurred.
"Why are you here?" Damon countered playing the knight in shining armour.
"He wanted to make me sing Grease with him" Ava exclaimed "Now shoo go away pervert. Shoo" she waved him off.
"Thank you for the drink" the woman raised her glass. Alaric nodded and staggered off.
"So there's a B&B down the road" Damon said casually, he had gotten Ava another burger so she wouldn't say anything that would drop them in it. It was working, the blond was actually behaving
"There's a hotel as well" Ava said through a mouthful of food. "But just know that you might want to bring your own sheets" she added and swallowed her mouthful of her burger.
"No Frills is fine" the woman who had introduced herself as Jules replied "I'm only here for the night. It's a long story"
"Well we got time" Damon rolled his eyes seeing she had a smudge of sauce on the corner of her mouth; he picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth "So you're going to tell us?"
"Well I'm looking for my friend" Jules murmured
"Oh who?" the vampire asked playing dumb. And he pinched the fairy when he saw her opening her mouth.
"Mason Lockwood"
"I know Mason" Damon chuckled
"You do?" Jules asked, Alaric was watching on from the other end of the bar.
"Yeah I know his nephew Tyler. We're in the same class and-"
"And Ava has a major crush on him" Damon pitched in. "Super cute right?"
"Damon is gay for him" Ava retorted causing Alaric to guffaw and covered it with a laugh "He goes he likes him in tight jeans-"
"I think Ava didn't take her medication" Damon forced a smile on to his face "Quiet child or you won't get desert later-"
"Eww you sound like a pervert don't say it like that" Ava hissed
"Well you stop saying I'm gay" Damon whispered and looked back over to Jules. "Anyway Mason is a great guy-"
"Oh yeah that doesn't make you sound gay at all" she muttered and yelped when he slapped her upside the head "Kids these day. Don't know when to shut up" he chuckled.
Jules nodded "Well Mason is missing" she told the pair.
"Oh no" Ava said straight face. Alaric mentally slapped himself wondering why they thought it was a good idea to involve the blond in on this plan.
"What' do you mean like? Missing-missing?" he asked, Damon shifted so that he was in between Ava and Jules and rested his elbows on the bar.
"I get how she knows Mason" Jules pointed at Ava "but how do you?" she asked the vampire.
"Friend of a friend" Damon shrugged his shoulders playing it cool, he picked up his glass and made a face when Jules just swirled the straw around her glass.
"You know I'm really tight with the sheriff-"Damon uttered, the crowd was thinning out.
"He doesn't mean his sleeping with her" Ava blurted out
"OK Ava it's pass her bedtime, so she just says random things" Damon said over the blond. Ava rolled her eyes and tapped her fingers against her cane. "If there's anything I can do to help locate Mason I will" he said charmingly. "He's a great guy. After his brother's funeral he stuck around and helped his nephew"
"Tyler right?"
"Yep" Ava nodded "Mason was with him the whole time, helped him through all that grief, so how's that drink working out for yah?" she asked "I know it's from the town drunk but that dude has got good taste. Have a sip" she smiled. Damon and Alaric exchange looks seems like Ava wasn't completely clueless on this mission.
"She's right" Damon grinned and raised his own glass; he was somewhat pleased when Jules raised hers. They clinked glasses the vampire was about to down his own drink but Jules placed it down.
"You know what? I'm not much of a drinker." Jules exclaimed
"Oh come on one drink" Damon persuaded her.
Ava groaned, she couldn't be bothered to wait around anymore she was about to tore through her mind but didn't after hearing the words that flew out of Jules's mouth.
"It'll help me sleep-"
"Yeah alcohol does that" Ava grinned taking a sip of her own soda.
"To sleep" Damon sipped his drink just as Jules slammed her own one down.
"You fool" Jules snarled, Ava winced they were rumbled "You think you're clever don't you?"
"Well I-"
Damon shoved the rest of Ava's burger in her mouth shutting her up. "What do you want with Mason Lockwood?" he demanded
Jules eyed the other supernatural creature "He is my friend" Ava was struggling to actually swallow the massive bite.
"Well I'm sorry to inform you that you probably won't find him" Damon scowled
"And why not?" Jules asked
"You should leave town"
Jules scoffed as Ava finally did swallow, she idly rubbed her throat "You threatening me?" she asked
"Oh no that's just how Damon is. When he talks people think he's being threatening but he's like a big puppy and-"
"Shut up" Jules snapped, causing Ava to frown. "You're threatening me on a full moon, how stupid are you?"
"Hey Damon-"Alaric staggered back over "how about that second round?"
"It's over Ric. She knows. Good acting by the way" Ava gave him the thumbs up.
Jules got onto her feet "You think I'm afraid of you?" Damon asked
"No I just think it's your vampire arrogance" Jules uttered grabbing her jacket. "I think you should me. I sniffed you out the moment you entered this bar, and your little girlfriend, she's not human right-"
"Hey" Ava snapped "I'm not his girlfriend-"
"That's all you got out of that?" Alaric muttered shaking his head.
"Along with your pathetic Wolfsbane" Jules glanced over to the hunter who merely shrugged his shoulders. "See I've been at this a long time-"
"Yay-"
"No Ava no cheering" Alaric informed her.
"Any other night of the month the situation would be reversed but tonight? Is not the night to pick a fight with me" Jules sneered "You've been marked-"without another word she left.
"What? He's not Mark" Ava yelled after her "His name is Damon"
"Oh this isn't the end" Damon growled, the werewolf knew that Ava was different and he couldn't be sure if the wolf was set out to harm the little fairy. Ava felt her curls blowing forward and groaned
"Did he go?"
"Yep come on" Alaric grabbed her hand and they rushed out of the bar after Damon. The door slammed behind them.
"Where is she?" Damon snapped
"Just let it go" Alaric attempted to calm the vampire down "Damon, don't be stupid"
"What?" Damon uttered taking Ava's hand and pulling her behind him "I'm just supposed to let her go?" he asked
"You've been marked? What does that even mean?" he scowled as they walked across the empty parking lot. "What kind of werewolf throw down crap is that?"
Alaric turned so that he was facing the vampire "Damon look up just look up" he commanded "If this werewolf stuff is true one bite and you're dead. One bite" just then Alaric's cell rang.
Ava frowned and clutched the vampire's hand "Damon leave it. Let's just go home and have…marshmallows….or whatever-"
"She's right. Go home and we'll deal with it tomorrow" Damon said and was about to walk off with Ava but the history teacher grabbed the fairy's other hand "Sorry Damon, but Jenna wants Ava at her place."
"Fine." Damon muttered and stalked off still annoyed because of Jules.
"Bitches I'm home" Ava declared entering the Gilbert house without knocking. Alaric had dropped her off and said he'll take her back to the Boarding House after he ran some errands.
"Ava language"
"Jenna face" Ava countered dumping her cane at the door, she followed the sound of shuffling
"That doesn't make sense Ava" Jenna peered out of the cupboard that was located beneath the staircase.
"I know it doesn't. Erm Jenna if you're going to go to the Grill tomorrow, just know that…erm-"Jenna cocked an eyebrow.
"Ava what did you do?"
"I sort of spread a rumour that Ric likes to lick things"
Jenna shook her head "I'm not even going to ask" she muttered and carried on digging through the boxes, Elena bounded down the staircase.
"Ava what are you doing here?"
"Oh thanks Elena, make me feel more welcome why don't you?" Ava drawled "And Jenna invited me…why?"
"Well I could use some help." Jenna handed a cardboard box over to her.
"Here Ava-"she handed the blond a box as well, "and you have to help, I feed you sometimes"
Ava rolled her eyes and shifted the box in her arms "What is this stuff anyway?"
"It's things for the historical society, I got roped in with helping Mrs Lockwood" Jenna informed them.
"Ohh, tough break." Ava said but then burst into giggles "shame on your face-"
"Thanks Ava, and by roped in-"Jenna got onto her feet. "I mean excited to participated" she slammed the door closed revealing Elijah behind the door with a smile on her lips. Ava heard Elena gasped
"ELIJAH-"
"Oww bloody hell" Ava exclaimed clutching the side of her temple. "Wait what?" her eyes widened "did you say Elijah?"
"Yeah…he's right here. Act normal" Elena thought back and knew Ava heard her when the petite teen nodded.
"Hey I'm Elijah" the Original smirked.
"Hi…hottie" Ava whispered the last word; Elena elbowed her hard causing the fairy to jump. She gripped tightly onto the box so she wouldn't drop her.
"Here let me take this Ava looks like you're going to drop it" Jenna took the box off of her and then Elena's one "Elijah is in town doing research"
Ava's heart was pumping a mile a minute, she didn't forget the fact this was the guy who slapped someone's head off. Plus Rose's words rung around her head. The vampire was dangerous.
"It's a pleasure" Elijah exclaimed moving forward he shook the doppelganger's hand and then moved onto the fairy. He detected her scent as soon as she entered the house. "A real pleasure" with Ava he took her hand in his and shook it.
"Good. That you're finding it so…pleasurable-damn that sounds wrong." Ava blushed "Lovely to meet you. Wonderful in fact…marvellous-"
"Stop talking" Elena said under her breathing knowing that the blond could just carry on.
"Thank you" Ava whispered, Elijah eyed the fairy with amusement written all over his face. Jenna made her way over to the group.
"So you're welcome to stay here and rummaged through this stuff. Or I, Elena and Ava could help load it into your car. Well Ava will probably stand around-"
"Hey"
Elijah chuckled "Yeah or I could get someone to pick it up tomorrow" he said.
"Smart" Ava nodded "Well is that the time." She pretended to glance down at her bare wrist to check the time "I got to go-"
"Ava I made cookies that's why I called you" Jenna snorted "she's silly. It's a good plan though"
Elijah nodded and shook Jenna's hand and moved pass the two teens "Well thank you for inviting me in. And Ava and Elena I hope to see you sometime soon" he smirked
"Yeah you too…even though I can't see" Ava muttered, Jenna showed Elijah the door. She heard the door slam shut "Damn he's voice is so sexy-"
"Ava-"Elena snapped and grabbed her hand "Come on-"she dragged the smaller teen up the stairs
"What? It's true"
"We need to talk to Jeremy-"Elena muttered and hastily knocked on the door. Ava shifted on foot to the other and felt an arm clamp around her waist.
The doppelganger grabbed the door knob and was about to push it open but she was stopped when Ava let out a loud yelp. Elena's eyes widened seeing that Elijah had the blond pinned to his chest and his hand covered her mouth. The door opened and Elijah took a step back taking the fairy with him.
"What is it?" Jeremy asked opening the door.
"Erm…"Elena couldn't exactly say that the Original was here since Jeremy could get hurt or even Ava. "Jenna was just asking me to get you to help with the boxes" she replied.
Ava rolled her eyes when she heard what Jeremy said next "Err yeah…is Ava around. She owes me pop-tarts-"he muttered and headed down stairs.
Elena turned back to Elijah and Ava, the Original let the blond go "It's a wise choice-"
"Bloody hell is Jeremy blind?" Ava frowned rubbing her mouth. Could he not see us?
"What do you want?" Elena asked taking Ava's hand pulling the fairy to her side, Elijah's lips twitched. Did the doppelganger actually think she could protect the fairy? He mused.
"I think we all need to have a chat don't you?" he asked
"Yeah totally. This way" with that Ava surprised the Original by grabbing his hand and leading him into Elena's room.
Soon enough Ava was once again sprawled out on the bed; she could hear Elijah tinkering around with Elena's trinkets. The brunette was miffed at how calm the blond was.
Ava thought they'd be no point in getting into a tizzy yet at least, since if the Original had wanted to take them they would have been gone by now.
"Forgive the intrusion-"
"I forgive you" Ava called out; she had a thing for accent.
Elijah chuckled "I mean your family or friends no harm" he sat down on the window seat.
"Why did you kill those vampires when they tried to take us?" Elena asked leaning against her closed door.
"Because I didn't want either one of you to be taken" Elijah said curtly, Ava frowned there was more to this guy than she thought. "Klaus is the most feared and hated of the Originals. But those who fear him are desperate for his approval"
"Why? They fear him yet want his respect?" Ava asked "that doesn't make sense at all"
"Shows how young you are little Fae" Elijah murmured.
"Don't appreciate the nickname Elijah" Ava folded her arms across her chest. Elena shook her head seeing how casual the blond was, she was literally shaking in her shoes at the sight of the Original.
"If the word gets out that the Fae is here along with the doppelganger they'll be a line of vampire eager to take you to him. And along the way you little Fae will most likely get a few bites out of you. They'll try to resist since they will have Klaus to answer to but they would to tempted, after all your blood is like an energy boost to our kind" Elijah murmured, he knew her kind was rare, practically none existent in this world.
"But isn't that what you're trying to do?" Ava questioned "you want to take us to Klaus"
"Let's just say my goal isn't to break the curse" Elijah drawled.
"So what is your goal?" Elena asked taking a step forward.
"Klaus's obsession has made him paranoid, he's a recluse-"
"Sounds lovely" Ava hummed earning a glare from her friend, "Your medusa eyes won't work Elena. Carry on sexy-I mean Elijah" she said flustered.
"Right" Elijah cleared; the blond was an intriguing creature he mused. "He only trust those in his inner-circle"
"Like you?" Elena narrowed her eyes
"Not anymore" Elijah shook his head. Ava pulled her knees up on to her chest.
"So you have history with him?" she uttered.
"You could say that" the Original nodded
"You don't know where he is do you?" Elena said catching the man's attention, she didn't miss the fact his dark eyes kept on going back to the petite teen. Ava picked up the pillow and placed it on her lap. She idly scratched the back of her hand as she listened to the conversation.
"Whoa accent dude" Ava exclaimed "You're using us as your bait?"
"He'll come running when he becomes aware that there's a fairy in Mystic Falls, and he'll come even faster once he learns of the doppelganger. But to do that I need both of you to stay put and not get yourself killed" he smirked
"Sounds like a plan" Ava hummed
"How do we know you're telling the truth" Elena uttered
"Well if I wasn't being truthful I would have killed all your family and friends-"
"Yeah thanks for not doing that by the way" Ava pitched in, earning an incredulous look from Elena
"Seriously Ava?" Elena thought.
"Yes Elena. Oh erm…some mad mind reading skills going on here Elijah. Just don't want to think that we're leaving you out…but we are because-"
"I could have taken you to Klaus right now" Elijah cut her off he got the feeling that if he didn't Ava could just go on and on. "Instead I'm here and I am prepared to offer you a deal"
"We don't do drugs" Ava blurted out Elena groaned and rubbed her head wanting the world to swallow her up. Elijah looked at the blond completely stunned
"Not that kind of deal" the Original shook his head.
"What kind of deal?" Elena asked
Ava's ears perked up, she could tell that the vampire got onto his feet and moved slightly away.
"Do nothing. Do nothing live your life and stop fighting" he stated.
"Oh" Ava's eyebrows shot to her hairline "I like that …that's a good plan should I applause?"
"No" Elijah replied curtly, he was facing the mirror and his lips twitched in amusement seeing the pout on Ava's face.
"So mean" Ava huffed.
"When the time is right, you, the little Fae and I shall draw out Klaus together. And I shall make certain your friends remain unharmed." Elijah flicked the pages of one of the books that were placed on the vanity table.
"And then what?" Elena asked
"Then I kill him"
"Wow…you're blunt are you? A rather attractive trait" Ava commented swinging her legs so that they were hanging off the edge of the bed. "So you'll kill him just like that?"
"Just like that" he confirmed. "I'm a man of my word, I make a deal I keep a deal-"
"Another attractive trait" the fairy uttered, "question though, how are you going to keep everybody safe? You're just one badass dude"
Elijah smirked "I noticed you have a friend Bonnie is it? She seems to possess the gift of magic I have friends with similar gifts" he said.
"You know witches" Elena nodded folding her arms across her chest.
"Together we can protect everybody that matters to the both of you" Elijah said staring straight at Elena "So do we have a deal?"
"I need you to do one more thing for me" Elena bargained
"Are we negotiating now?" Elijah countered.
"Elena? What are-"
"Stefan needs to get out of the tomb. And Elijah cane make it happen" Elena informed her. Once they had made a deal Elena and the Original shook each other's hands.
"Do you want to hug instead of shaking hands?" Ava grinned.
"Only you could ask a killer for a hug" Elena grumbled.
Ava rolled her eyes "I sleep in the same bed as Damon…don't think dirty Elena now hug?" she held her arms out
Elijah couldn't help but think that the fairy was enchanting. "No"
"Oh damn" Ava muttered and stalked off.
"Where are you going?" Elena asked slightly unnerved to be left in the room with the Original on her own. With Ava in there with them she didn't feel at all nervous but now she did.
"HOME" Ava yelled "I got no hug"
"Is she always like that?" Elijah asked.
"Yes" Elena replied shaking her head.
Damon cocked an eyebrow when he could swearing on the other side of the front door. he knew that voice from anywhere so without further ado he opened the door just as Ava attempted to put her key through the lock.
"Ava?"
"Finally opened the door did ya?" Ava asked walking in and dumping her keys into the bowl, but she missed and it hit the floor.
"How did you get-wait where's Ric I thought he was dropping you off?" Damon frowned, she mumbled something incomprehensible and attempted to shuffle pass him but he grabbed by the back of the belt loop of her denim skirt. "Ava? Where's Ric?"
"Well-"
"Did you come home on your own?" he uttered
"I took a bus and walked ok?" Ava rolled her eyes and attempted to walk up the staircase but Damon had a firm grip on her skirt.
"Are you stupid? There's a werewolf hanging around-"he snarled.
Ava scowled "Says the dude who riled the bloody werewolf up-"
"You shouldn't be out on your own this late" he scolded, Rose peered down the staircase and could see the pair arguing she shook her head and headed off to have a shower.
"You're not my freaking dad" Ava stomped "now let go you ass-"
"You are literally too dumb to talk to" Damon growled and let her go, Ava didn't expect this so fell on her knees "Ava-"
"Go away. Dick" Ava ran up the staircase. The vampire sighed perhaps he was too harsh on her, he winced when he heard Ava slamming her bedroom door shut.
Ava had now changed out of her clothes and was wearing her pair of flannel shorts and a camisole along with her bear like robe. She pulled the hood up and was sitting at her desk.
"Ava?" Damon called
"Go away" Ava snapped intent on ignoring him. The vampire let out a sigh "why would you want to talk to someone who is too dumb to understand?"
He knew that would bite him on the ass "I'm sorry ok. I was out of order" Damon pulled the chair out she was sitting on and swivelled it so that he could kneel down in front of her. "Sorry Ava, you're not dumb at all. I just got angry"
Ava bit her lip and nodded "Fine, dick-"he chuckled and leant forward and kissed her temple.
"Come on"
"No-"
"I got a surprise for you-"
"But-"
Seeing that she wouldn't be moving he bent down and flung Ava over his shoulder. Ava groaned and held herself up slightly so his shoulder wouldn't be digging into her stomach.
Soon enough she and Damon were in the parlour, he had moved the sofa so that it was closer to the fireplace.
"What's the surprise then?" Ava asked
"We're going to have marshmallows" Damon uttered and smiled seeing the grin on her face; he stabbed the piece of marshmallow onto the end of the stick and pressed it into her hand. "No not yet-"he called out just as she was going to shove it into her mouth. "We're going to roast them"
"Oh great" Ava grinned.
"Is there room for one more?" Stefan appeared in the parlour.
"Stefan" Damon just managed to catch her marshmallow stick as she launched herself at the vampire. Ava hugged him tightly causing Stefan to chuckle "I miss you"
"I miss you too" he murmured into her thick hair. And kissed the crown of her head. "Both of you" he said looking over her head and nodded at Damon.
"Good to have you back brother" Damon said. "Now come on, we've got marshmallows to roast"
Ava was once again sitting on the couch in between the Salvatore brothers. Each of them was holding onto a stick that held a marshmallow on the end.
The fairy was content; she rested her head against Damon's shoulder who smiled at the small action. Stefan didn't miss this and leant back.
Ava yawned and felt Damon's hand on hers. Her Gran always told her that when you love someone you would know it and at the moment she didn't…well Ava wasn't sure; she didn't linger on it though. For the rest of the night Ava, Damon and Stefan spent it in front of the fireplace toasting and eating marshmallows.
AN: Apologies for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Outfit link on profile. And thanks to those who reviewed.
So in this chap-At the beginning, we see Ava bitching about Damon to Stefan and an annoyed Katherine.
