Ava blinked, she was scared for all of them, she had crawled over to the other two female, hearing their voices. Jenna rocked back and forth
"Oww my head" Jenna whimpered "What's wrong with me?" she asked.
"We did have a lot of rum-"
"You drank?"
"Elena so not the point" Ava cleared her throat "You should be telling Jenna what's going on with her"
Elena nodded and inched forward to her aunt, all three women were on their knees "Jenna do you remember what happened?"
"You called me" Jenna replied a frown on her face "You was so scared-"
"It wasn't her Jen, it was Kat" Ava swallowed tucking in a stray curl behind her ear. "Argh" Jenna was annoyed at herself, how could she fall for a trick like that "I should have known-"
"No you couldn't have" Ava said softly, she didn't want this. It was bad enough that Elena needed to die to break the curse, but now Jenna was brought into it? "what happened after that?" she asked, she was curious as soon as the fairy stepped out of the Boarding House she couldn't at all track Jenna, so whatever did happened to the strawberry blond haired woman it happened really fast.
"The second I walked out of the house someone grabbed me. I remembered Ava shouting my name but then a vampire-"
"Klaus" Elena cut in "It was Klaus"
Ava nodded she remembered hearing his voice before she blacked out. "And then?" she urged the other woman. She leant forward and could feel the dirt and twigs beneath her palms.
"He made me drink his blood" Jenna said watery eyed, she was confused and scared. "And I don't' remember anything after that" she shook her head. "Where are we? What happened?" she was beginning to panic.
Ava reached out and grabbed Jenna's arm, in an effort to calm her. "We're at the quarry" Elena said "He brought us here"
"Why don't I remember anything?" Jenna snapped, at the moment the moon was hidden by the clouds, so they were somewhat shrouded in darkness "Ava can't you-I don't know find out what happened?" she was indicating for the fairy to read her mind.
Ava shook her head "Jenna I can't read you anymore" she licked her lips anxiously "What does she mean?" Jenna frowned looking at her niece
"Tell her Elena. She's scared" Ava thought out to the brunette.
Elena nodded, she was shaking "Jenna do you remember what I told you? How someone becomes a vampire?"
"Yeah you have to die with vampire blood in your system-"Jenna's eyes widened realisation was hitting her. "Oh god-"
"No Jen, it'll be ok" Ava was convincing herself more than anything "when we get out of this you can use your super vampy powers and have weirder sex with the Ricster" she choked out trying to calm herself.
Jenna chuckled but there wasn't a lot of force in it. She shook her head "He killed me" she said tearfully.
"Listen everything is going to be ok." Elena grabbed Ava's hand wanting to comfort the smaller teen. "I'll get you out of here Jenna"
"I'm a vampire Elena" Jenna said her voice trembled
"Nothing new in this town." Ava commented swallowing hard.
"And I bet you're hungry" Greta smirked walking over to the trio, Ava scowled and much to Elena's annoyance she stood up. The brunette didn't want to get hurt.
Ava sneered "Shove off Greta" she spat she attempted to dive into the witch's mind but was literally shoved out of it. Ava stumbled backwards nearly tripping over her own feet.
"Stay out of my mind little Fae." The witch snarled, her eyes landed on the newly transitioning vampire. Elena saw the witch going towards the jagged rock but Greta was ready and flung her hand back, sending the doppelganger several feet back. With another flick of her wrist Elena was surrounded by a circle of fire. Ava jumped; she could hear the flames crackling behind her
"Ava the rock is in front of you" Elena said clearly in her mind knowing the fairy would hear her. It was proven when Ava just managed to grab it but dropped it when she was thrown backwards.
Ava landed on her back with a grunt. She was then also surrounded by a circle of fire. The blond scrambled onto her feet and was about to leap over when all of a sudden she was brought crashing back to the dirt covered ground.
"Don't bother, I spelled it so you can't get through" Greta called out "you're trapped no matter what you do"
Ava scowled and dug her fingers into the soil, "Don't be a bitch Greta. Or is it something that comes naturally" she sneered.
Greta giggled, "Oh I heard about you. The fiery fairy…must say I am kind of disappointed I was expecting something different"
Ava staggered onto her feet, "And I'm supposed to be insulted?" she snapped.
"Hmm. Not really" Greta picked up the jagged rock which Ava had dropped
"Greta" Elena pleaded "please just let her go"
But Greta ignored her and used the rock to create a gash on her wrist. Creating a stream of scarlet liquid, Jenna was drawn to it, she could smell the blood, and she just wanted it. "Klaus chose her-"
"Well tell him to choose someone else" Ava snapped inching forward, she could feel the heat of the flames against her skin "pick anyone...there's a girl called Tiki probably lingering around."
But Greta ignored her and held out her wrist to Jenna "Drink it" she ordered
"No Jenna don't-"Elena shouted
"Elena she is in transition, she'll die if she doesn't drink it" Ava called out. She thought once Jenna turned it'll be a better chance for her to run.
"I can't" Jenna breathed
"No, let her go-NO" Elena shouted as Jenna lips wrapped around the gash. She took a mouthful of blood and it felt so good.
Ava bit her lip; she blocked her mind since Elena's thoughts were screaming out her. When Greta deemed she had enough she pulled back making Jenna land on her knees.
"Jenna look at me" Elena uttered meeting her aunt's eyes. "It'll be ok" she assured her as the witch raised her hand and like the fairy and the doppelganger the newly turned vampire was also surrounded by flames.
Ava didn't believe that all; she felt things were only going to get worse.
Ava was now sitting in the middle of her circle of flame; she pulled her knees up to her chest. Her whole body was shaking with anxiety and fear. Jenna mimicked her movements whilst Elena was pacing up and down.
"How do you feel Jen?" Ava asked digging her fingers into the tops of her knees
"I feel like myself" Jenna nodded, Elena was listening in on the conversation she was trying to figure out a way to get her aunt out of this, maybe she could make another deal with Klaus.
"Because you are yourself" Ava commented, biting her bottom lip anxiously
"Not what I mean Ava" Jenna shook her head; the breeze was swirling around them. Ava's blond locks were flaying in the window "everything is brighter, the fire is hotter, and part of me is terrified but the other part of me that doesn't want to feel anything at all"
Ava knew that was one of the main parts of being a vampire, not being able to feel "Vampire can turn off the part of them being human" Elena explained
"That's the part that hurts" Ava added she didn't want Jenna to be in this mess, the woman just learned a day ago about vampires, and here she was now trapped in this mess.
"I'm going to die aren't I?" Jenna said tearfully. Ava felt her heart lurch at that
"No" Ava snapped, she didn't want to lose her and if she could help it she was going to get the elder woman out of this.
"Jenna I'm going to get you out of this" Elena promised "I don't care what I have to do-"
"THIS HURTS SO MUCH-WHY IS IT SO FAST-"Ava cried out in pain and clutched her head. A pain filled cry filled her head. Both Jenna's and Elena's snapped over to her
"Ava" Elena shouted in concern, the fairy was on the ground clutching her head "What-"she was cut off when she hear shout of pain. "Oh…Ava put the barriers up in your mind…now-"
"It's so loud and so much pain" Ava said through gritted teeth.
"You can do it-"Elena encouraged her, the fairy had gone pale and was shaking. Ava forced the barriers up and strengthened them even more.
Her milky orbs snapped open "What-who's that?" Jenna asked looking over to Ava.
"That must be the werewolf" Elena uttered and watched as Greta dragged another woman over to them. She pushed her till the werewolf was a couple of feet away from Ava.
"What's happening to me?"
Ava frowned recognising that voice "Jules?" she asked getting onto her knees. Jules looked over to where her name was called and she saw the fairy.
"Ava?" she whimpered.
Ava swallowed "What did you do to her?" in all of her encounters with Jules, she had never heard the woman sound so scared before.
"I cast a spell to slow down her transformation, your inside are trying to tear themselves apart." She grinned at Jules, without another word she flicked her wrist and Jules was surrounded by flames. All Ava could hear was the sound of Jules crying and whimpering, she never liked the woman but she didn't want her to go through this
"Greta witches are supposed to maintain the balance of nature" Elena uttered looking at the witch. "It's your duty to them, to keep this curse sealed-"
"So quit being a bitch and stop this" Ava shouted managing to get onto her feet.
"My duty is to Klaus now, the new order" Greta spat.
"You really are brainwashed" Ava sneered "Wait till I get my hands on you Greta I got a mean right hook"
Ava felt a shudder go through her, she knew he was here. Klaus had arrived.
"Glad to know I still have a dance partner" Klaus smirked and looked at the women that were trapped in the enflamed circles, "Hello my lovelies are we ready?" his eyes landed on Ava, she felt a shiver go down her spine alerting her that he was watching her.
Ava jumped when a loud scream tore from Jules's throat. Klaus and Greta had moved over to the stone alter where the witch would be conducting the spell.
"Jules…just breathe through the pain" Ava advised, she was near the werewolf and all she could hear was crying and screaming, it was making her even more terrified. She heard a small explosion, it was beginning. In the distant background she could hear Greta chanting. "Jules breathe come on-"Ava urged her. "But don't make those funny noises like those pregnant women; you know the hee-ho-hee- ones"
Jules could help but laugh it turned into a whimper though "Ava I'm sorry for everything I did to you" she cried, the fairy felt her eyes welled up in tears "I just wanted to help Tyler…I don't want him to be alone-"
"Is this Jules?" Elena asked
"A bit late Elena" Ava inched forward on her knees "Jules it's ok…jus, Tyler won't be alone" she trembled hearing another terrible scream coming from the woman.
"I-there's just so much pain Ava" Jules arched her back and cried out, sweat and tears marred her face "I'…please make the pain go away" she begged.
Ava felt her heart skipping a beat; the woman was just in so much pain. She didn't deserve to feel this in her last moments.
The fairy felt something surge through her, Elena and Jenna gaped at the sight of the blond, and she seemed a tiny bit brighter "Don't feel any pain Jules…just feel peace"
Jules gasped as the pain left her, she wasn't writhing any more, and she was still transforming but no pain. "Ava" she breathed she was still on the ground and looked over to the fairy and saw her eyes closed in concentration.
Klaus approached the enflamed circle; he paused and narrowed his eyes. An intoxicating scent was ripening. He laughed loudly "Oh wow, so much power from someone so small"
Ava's eyes snapped open her concentration vanished and once again Jules was screaming in pain. She jolted. Klaus bared down on the werewolf "Shall we?" he moved closer to the flames as they died down.
"Thank you Ava" Jules breathed, the fairy had granted her a moment of peace and she was grateful.
Ava nodded and swallowed, she couldn't help but let her tears escaped, she hastily wiped them away. Jules's eyes turned golden, she flew at Klaus, but the Original flipped her over pinning the woman to the ground. Ava crawled further back when she heard the sickening sound of Klaus plunging his hand into Jules's chest and ripping her heart out. Even though
Ava had blocked her mind from Jules, she still felt the werewolf's loss of life. The wind blew hard in her face, she heard Elena gasping at the horrific sight, of Klaus holding up Jules's heart.
Ava rubbed her hand across her face, she bowed her head. The werewolf was down next was the vampire meaning Jenna.
Jenna looked over to the fairy and saw how terrified she was, she wanted to go over and hug her. She did after all promise her that she would be there for her when Claudine had died.
"The day that the lawyers called to tell me that I was going to become your guardian you know what my first though was?"
Ava blinked "Erm...yay I'm going to live next door to Ava again?"
Jenna and Elena couldn't help but smile at that, the fairy always knew how to make them smile.
"Funnily enough that was my second thought" Jenna uttered brushing her hair away from her face "my first thought was isn't there someone else who can do this" she admitted, feeling slightly ashamed.
Elena frowned, "Jenna there was no one else who could have gotten me and Jeremy through all of that" she said, she realised she never actually had thanked her aunt for all she done for her and her brother.
"Just the thought that I almost passed-"Jenna said tearfully "taking care of you-"
"But you didn't" Elena said seriously looking at her directly in her eyes "you put your entire life on hold for us."
"Look around Elena" Jenna snarled "I failed you"
"No" Elena violently shook her head "you didn't-"
"How can you be a failure Jenna?" Ava said softly, causing both Jenna and Elena tom glanced over to her. The flames lit Ava's face, bringing out its contours. There was now playful smile on her face, no spark "What you did was brave. You dived into something that you had no idea about. You didn't just take care of them Jen. You took care of me…and I'm not saying it in a lesbo way Jen, but I love you."
"You were the closest thing I have to a mother. You brushed my hair, made sure I eat…and you're so good to me Jenna and I know I'm not easy to handle. But I am so glad you came back Jenna Sommers." Ava said sincerely as tears streamed down her face she meant those words from her heart. Jenna cried never had the fairy been like this with her,
"God why does it feel like my heart is breaking?" Jenna said looking at the doppelganger
Elena swallowed and she stifled her own cries and knelt down "Listen Jenna being a vampire intensifies your emotions. But it also makes you stronger and faster" Ava nodded knowing what her friend was getting at "You can fight back; we're going to get through this. Ava can't die and I am going to alright. I need for you to believe that"
"Jenna listen to her. We will be fine" Ava stated
"But promise me when you get the chance?" Elena whispered her eyes darting over to Klaus and Greta; they were too immersed in the concoction that was brewing to pay attention to the three supernatural beings that were trapped. "Run"
Ava stiffened hearing the sound of footsteps crunching against the leaves and twigs. Klaus was approaching them,
"Hello Jenna" Klaus said smoothly. Jenna, Elena and Ava all stood up,
"Let her go" Elena said, getting more and more afraid "I understand that I have to die but she doesn't-"she went to move forward but the flames burned higher.
"Careful" Klaus warned.
"Elena don't-"Jenna said not wanting her to get hurt
"No Jenna we can't leave Jeremy without any family" Elena shook her head
Anger rippled through Ava "What is wrong with you?" she shouted "I know you got major crazy issues but with your family-"
"Careful love you're stepping on to dangerous grounds" Klaus growled, but her milky orbs hardened
"I don't give a shit" she sneered "Why are you so desperate to be one of your only kind? I am and let me tell you something it's not fun" she was breathing heavily "we followed your rules, we didn't run. So let her go" she took another step towards the flames and ignored the searing heat.
"Move back-"he ordered
"Why?" Ava uttered her eyes were reddened and puffy "you can't complete the ritual without me can you? I will literally throw myself into these flames if you don't let Jenna go" she threatened.
Elena was staggered to see a smile cross Klaus's face "You can try sweetheart but it won't work. Greta-"he called. Ava felt a sinking feet in her gut. She felt as if something was holding her down she tried to move but couldn't. Her feet wouldn't move.
Klaus took another step forward so he was looking at the fairy directly in her face "You see love, I've been keeping an eye on-"
"You're a stalker-"
"And-"he spoke over her "I know that when it comes to you I need a backup plan. After all doppelgangers are replaceable fairies not so much. I'll be damned if I just let you kill yourself"
Ava sagged she could move her feet at all "Klaus please" she begged "just let her go…find someone else….please"
Elena swore she saw something flashing across the Original's eyes but it was gone in an instant. She had presumed that he would give in to her. But then a snarl formed on his face. "Well, well I don't recall you being on a guest list." He looked p and right there on the cliff of the quarry was Stefan. The younger Salvatore gazed down at the scene and took in the scene; he didn't miss the looks on all three female faces.
"I'm here to talk" Stefan announced
"Stefan" Ava breathed wondering what the hell was he doing here?
"Very well then" Klaus smirked at the trio and he blurred up to the edge of cliff appearing next to Stefan.
"What's going on?" Jenna asked,
"I don't know" Elena replied, Ava had no clue what was going down
"But you got vampy powers Jen" Ava uttered her eyes widening "Go on use them"
"Huh?" Jenna asked confused
"Heightened senses Jen, you got them now. See if you hear what's going on" the fairy explained, wanting to know why Stefan was here.
"Just focus on them" Elena encouraged her aunt, she pointed at Stefan and Klaus, she could see their mouths moving forming words.
"Come on Jen you can do it. You'll make a badass vamp" Ava muttered. "What are they saying?"
Jenna blinked hard she couldn't zero in on them, everything was just so distorted
"I can't-I can't make it out" Jenna shook her head.
Ava licked her lips she balled up her first, she was anxious it wasn't helping that she couldn't move her feet. God she really did despise Greta. This witch was powerful, and it pissed her off.
"You can do this" Elena said assuring her "just relax and focused"
"Close your eyes Jen" Ava murmured, when she wanted to focus she would tend to block everything out. "And just forget everything about else"
"Ok" Jenna breathed and took Ava's advice and closed her eyes so she could hear the other two vampires. "I can hear them"
"Good…erm well done. So?" Ava uttered
Elena blinked and gestured for Jenna to go on "I can hear Stefan, oh my god" Ava knew it was bad
"What?" Elena asked anxiously
"He wants to take my place" Jenna revealed, Ava's heart dropped this was getting worse, Stefan can't die. He was like a brother to her. This was turning into a living nightmare.
"He can't die" Ava whispered as once again tears streamed down her face.
"Elena-"
"I have to do something" Elena paced up and down, she saw Ava struggling to move it was like her feet was glued to the ground. "This can't happen, none of it"
Ava gritted her teeth and let out a loud groan "I can't move" she snapped
"Well that's the point of the spell love" Klaus smirked approaching them "Can't have you doing something stupid-"
"Ass" Ava glowered at the ground. She could hear two pair of footprints approaching
"Quiet the predicament you've got here" Klaus waved the dagger between Jenna and Stefan "now it's funny all this talk about preserving family and here's Stefan granting your wish" Klaus gestured to Stefan who was walking in front of him.
"Stefan" Elena breathed
"You can't do this" Ava shook her head "who's going-"she pressed her lips together and her body shook
"It's ok" Stefan nodded and looked over to the fairy "It's ok Ava"
"None of this is ok" Ava spat
"Well who's it going to be Elena?" Klaus asked "Or should I ask Ava?"
"No" Elena bit out refusing to give him answer.
"Actually you've got no choice" with that Klaus blurred around behind Stefan and stabbed the younger vampire in the back
"STEFAN" Ava shouted hearing him growling. Stefan stumbled as Klaus lodge a piece of stake into his back, where he couldn't reach.
"I have other plans for your boyfriend" Klaus uttered "but for now" he broke Stefan's back.
Ava gasped and raised her hands to her mouth to stop herself from shouting. "Whenever you're ready Greta" he called out. The blond knew he was indicating for the witch to continue with the sacrifice, he was moving onto Jenna.
"No" Ava shouted, rage, anger and fear was coursing through her. There was a surge power in her gut "stop. Klaus don't do this"
"Sorry love, but there's no other vampires around" Klaus smirked "Now-"he stopped smelling her scent "Ava-"
"You can't do this I won't let you" Ava said, the wind blew even harder.
Elena jumped out of her skin when Greta let out a scream of pain, the witch dropped to her knees clutching her head. She blinked hard pushing away her tears. Klaus stood by and watched on; he wanted to see how powerful his fairy was.
"AVA" Elena shouted when she saw Greta raising her hand and managed to send the blond on to her knees. There was blood pouring out from Ava's nostrils there was a cry from Greta and she sent the fairy across her circle of flames.
Ava was breathing hard, she felt as if she was drained, "Now that was impressive" Klaus smirked walking over to the petite teen. "Powerful creatures fairies are" he looked over to Greta "carry on"
"No" Elena gasped tears welled up in her eyes. Ava hastily sat up and felt as if her world moved; she wiped the blood from her nose and got onto her knees.
"Jenna" Ava cried out, Jenna looked around as the flames that trapped her died down.
"Your turn" Klaus eyes landed on her.
"No-"Elena screamed
"Jenna run" Ava shouted "run please" she didn't want her to die; she couldn't picture entering the Gilbert house without Jenna there to greet her.
"It's alright, Elena, Ava" Ava breathed out her face was now covered in blood and tears. "I know what I have to do-"
"Please Klaus" Ava shouted "don't do this-Greta" she turned to the witch "Please your father wouldn't want this-"
"You don't know what you're talking about" Greta spat and began chanting
"No, no, no" Ava whispered shaking her head. She didn't care if she ended up killing the witch anymore and tore into her mind.
Greta gritted her teeth, it was true faes were powerful, she knew that the blond used her powers twice technically she should be drained and weak, Greta clenched her hand and used her own mind power sending the blond to her knees.
Ava screamed and clutched her head; Jenna growled and flew at the witch biting her in the throat. The torturing pain in Ava's head deceased she groaned and heard Jenna crying out. Klaus had stabbed her in the back.
"NO" Elena shouted sobs overtaking her, Jenna was thrown on the stone alter.
"Jenna" Ava cried "Please-"she crawled towards the edge of the enflamed circle. She could hear Elena crying, it felt as if her own heart was being stabbed repeatedly. Ava swallowed; she already knew that Jenna was terrified
"Jenna turn it off" Ava whispered "turn it off and you won't be scared" Elena nodded and watched as Jenna was flipped onto her back. Klaus hovered above her. Ava clenched her eyes shut and blocked her ears when she heard the unmistakable sound of Jenna being stabbed in the heart. Ava felt a small part of her die at that. Jenna was dead, the woman who had taken care of, hours ago both of them were having fun, drinking rum. And now Ava felt lost.
"NOO JENNA" Ava's hands were over ears, she just wished everything to stop she didn't want to hear Elena crying anymore. She just didn't want to be here anymore.
Stefan groaned as he slowly woke up, he felt pain radiating from his back, he attempted to reach the stake but couldn't. He looked up and saw Elena's tear covered face, and a couple of yards away were Ava. She looked shattered. Stefan followed Elena's gaze and saw Jenna's body. He didn't save her.
"No" he breathed; Greta was chanting and pouring the liquidised contents into a bigger bowl.
"I'm so sorry" he uttered
But Ava shook her head and wiped her tears, as Elena raised her finger to her lips
"Are they going to kill him?" she whispered
"Yes" Stefan replied just as quiet. He stiffened when he saw Klaus was now walking towards Ava, she felt the heat around her disappear and a shadow over her.
"It's time" Klaus murmured he sighed when she didn't move. Ava sniffed she wasn't going to be afraid, it was her turn now and she didn't want to show any weakness, so with that thought in mind she stood up on her own and followed the sound of Greta's voice, the witch was still chanting.
They were now at the stoned alter, Klaus wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her forward so that his chest brushed against hers. "Come on love, cheer up-"
"Fuck you" Ava spat, he chuckled
"You're very entertaining" he purred into her ear, and brushed her blond locks away from her face. She stiffened when she felt his nose against her throat.
"No" Elena whispered, she had just lost her aunt and now Ava. Stefan looked up, his fingers dug into the ground when he saw the fairy in the Hybrid's arms.
"Remember seven mouthfuls" Greta murmured.
"I never forgot that" Klaus smirked; Ava flinched when she felt his skin touching hers. He used his index finger to tilt her head up. "A fae at last" his breath washed over her. Ava was numb as he used thumb to wipe a stray tear. She stiffened when he pressed his lips against her throat.
Ava gasped when his fangs sank into her skin. She grabbed on to his shoulders when he slurped her blood down. He moved back "One" he breathed. There were six more to go. Ava trembled in his hold. Stefan wanted to rip him apart piece by piece for everything that he'd done. Klaus's lips were stained with Ava's blood.
Klaus repeated his motion and once again sank his fangs into same spot he'd bitten into moments ago. "Two" his lips brushed against her earlobe. When he was on his fourth mouthful she was beginning to feel faint. He wasn't taking small sips, no he as taking large ones.
By the sixth one Ava knew she would've been on the floor if Klaus wasn't holding on to her. The Original was getting more and more strong, he pulled back Ava was looking deathly pale and her eyes were half closed. Ava couldn't hear anything anymore he had taken more than enough blood, but he had one more mouthful left.
"The final one" Klaus felt exhilarated powerful and even more alive. He pressed his lips against her still ones. Ava felt disgust it was like nothing compared to the kisses she shared with Damon. With the raven head vampire she never could get enough but when Klaus kissed her it was hard and un-feeling, she felt her own blood against her lips, and her gut clenched.
She felt disgust crawl up her spine. He pulled back and moved his lips against her cheek and earlobe. Ava managed to make out his teeth nipping her earlobe, "You have no idea I have waited for the Fae. Too long" Klaus whispered.
The Original took his final mouthful. Stefan could hear how dangerously slow Ava's heartbeat had gotten. He was fearful that perhaps Klaus was getting out of control with the mouthfuls. Klaus groaned and held the fairy close
"Goodnight sweetheart" Ava collapsed.
Elena watched wide eye as her friend was lowered to the ground; there was no colour in her skin. The doppelganger could mistake Ava for being dead if it wasn't for the slight rise of her chest.
Klaus licked his lips as he strolled over to Elena "Delicious" he grinned "you're turn" the flames around Elena disappeared, she stood up and squared her shoulders
Stefan watched as the one of the most important person in his life walk bravely up to the stone alter, like Ava the doppelganger showed no fear.
Elena walked around the stone alter, her eyes landed on Jenna's ashen grey body. She blinked back her tears; she couldn't look at her aunt anymore. A couple of feet away from her near Jenna were a motionless Ava. The doppelganger frowned, it looked as if she was barely breathing, and not enough blood was being pumped around her small body.
The brunette tensed as Klaus stood behind her, he grasped her by her chin but with much more forced. "Thank you Elena" he smirked
"Go to hell" Elena snarled
Klaus's smirked widened "Tut, tut Ava here seems to have been rubbing off of you. Did you see her? Strolling up here, not a care in the world" he taunted. Elena's eyes hardened
"Don't talk about her that way. You are nothing to her" she hissed.
"We'll see soon" Klaus muttered
Stefan struggled he tried to crawl over to Ava but he was in too much pain, "No" he muttered watching on as Klaus sank his fangs into Elena's throat. Stefan groaned and saw the life being drained out of Elena, unlike with Ava Klaus didn't repeatedly move his lips away. When he was done he dropped her, she landed near Ava.
"Oh god" Stefan muttered seeing the holes in his girlfriend's throat. He noted that Elena's ones were smoother compared to the marks on Ava's neck.
Klaus yelled in triumph, spreading his arms wide a large grin on his face he stepped off of the alter "I can feel it" he breathed, he felt stronger more powerful "its happening" he walked further away from the alter.
The moon was out it shone down. Klaus groaned as his bones began to crack and break, he was turning. His eyes were bright gold and his fangs lengthened, all of a sudden he thrown across the clearing near the jagged rocks.
From out of the trees stepped out Bonnie she chanted loudly, Greta jumped and before she could blink Damon was behind her. He snapped her neck instantly killing her. The flames burned brighter, the wind blew harder, Damon spotted Elena's lifeless body and scooped her up, and he placed her beside his brother and rushed back over to the fairy.
Damon swallowed, Ava looked like she was at death's door "No" he murmured and saw how shaky her breathing was. He had a plan though and hopefully it would work. Damon picked her up and cradled her to his chest; he rushed back over to Stefan and was forced to place Ava gently on the ground so he could pull out the stake from Stefan's back.
Klaus roared in pain as he was forced onto the ground he writhed "You was dead" he shouted seeing the Bennett witch.
Damon brushed Ava's curls away from her face, his fingers grazed the marks on her throat, and they were jagged around the edges.
Stefan's hand grazed Elena's cheek and then his eyes moved over to Ava, they weren't safe here "I need you to get them both out of here" he yelled over the howling wind. Bonnie was still chanting loudly and was getting some satisfaction out of hearing Klaus screaming in pain.
"What about you?" Damon asked, he picked up Elena and put her over his shoulder
"I'm not leaving till he is dead" Stefan grabbed onto Damon's jacket. The elder Salvatore nodded and scooped up Ava holding her bridal style.
Damon ran up to the witches' house, daylight had arrived. He was carrying both Ava and Elena, he kicked the door open "Alaric?" he yelled, the hunter appeared "take her" he handed the doppelganger over to him, she was placed on the dusty couch. Damon lowered Ava onto the ground he cupped her cheek, it was clammy. She was pale too pale. He knew she needed blood.
Jeremy ran into the room "How are they?" he immediately moved over to Elena and brushed her hair out her face.
"I don't know" Damon admitted
"What about Jenna?" Alaric asked standing back
The vampire swallowed and looked over his shoulder at the hunter and sadly shook his head. "I'm sorry" he uttered.
The history teacher felt as if his heart had been trampled on when he heard that. Jeremy froze hearing him. Damon blurred out of the room, but returned just as quick with a small bundle in his arms. Just then Elena gasped coming back to life. Jeremy grabbed his sister by her shoulders
"How do you feel?" he asked frantically
"I feel fine" Elena nodded gulping down air. "Ava? What about her? She lost so much blood" she said.
"She needs more blood" Damon muttered kneeling down besides the fairy.
"You stole a blood bag?" Jeremy asked, he, Elena and Alaric all gathered around as Damon linked the tube between the blood bag and the tube. He screwed the need in place.
"Is it safe?" Elena questioned, she was still slightly miffed she felt completely normal. It was as if she woke up from a long slumber.
"Ava can't take vampire blood" Damon muttered "so human blood will hopefully work.-"
"But her blood-"
"I got O negative" he concentrated and flipped Ava's small hand over. He eased the needle into her veins and held it.
"Is it working?" Alaric questioned his voice shook.
"There's some colour on her cheeks" Elena muttered, Damon looked over to the blood-bag it was emptying.
"I think—"Jeremy jumped when all of a sudden Ava yelled out, the vampire frowned she was having the same reaction that she had to vampire blood.
"What's going on?" Elena shouted as Ava convulsed on the floor. Damon tore the IV out of the fairy's hand and holding her head in place, so she wouldn't smash it against the hardwood floor.
"Oh my god" Jeremy paled seeing Ava convulsing, Damon felt a pang go through his heart when the fairy cried and screamed in pain.
"She can't have vampire or human blood?" Alaric asked.
"Looks like it" Damon uttered and felt Ava relaxing. He cupped her cheek and brushed his thumb across her lips, he heard a small groan from the fairy he could hear her heart bearing stronger. Her eyes fluttered opened revealing milky green orbs
Ava was becoming more aware of her surroundings. And it took her a moment to realised someone was hugging her fiercely. "Damon?" her voice came out muffled since her face was pressed into his chest.
"I got you Ava. I got you" Damon held her close and kissed her temple. And then smashed his lips against hers.
Ava was currently in the Gilbert house. Stefan had driven her here earlier, they would all be going to Jenna's and John's burial. She was sitting at the kitchen table holding her face in her hands. Stefan and Damon were in the front room; Elena was upstairs still getting ready or talking to Jeremy. Caroline and Bonnie were going to meet them at the graveyard.
Ava felt hollow, not only was Jenna gone but so was John. She never knew how much he cared for Elena; he gave up his life so she would remain human. It made Ava nostalgic; she wondered if her own father would have done the same if she was in Elena's shoes.
Her lower lip wobbled, recalling John, who would she banter with now? She never hated him and Jenna. Ava swallowed her throat was dry she felt tears coursed down her face and angrily wiped them away.
She didn't need to break down now. It was not the time; she had blocked her mind not wanting to hear any more depressing thoughts. For the first time in a long time, Ava felt somewhat lonely; Damon had barely spoken to her. It was as if he was avoiding her.
"Ava" she jumped when a hand landed on her shoulder "How're you holding up?"
"I should be asking you that Jeremy" Ava muttered
Jeremy sighed "Sucks doesn't it?"
"It really sucks"
"The cars are here…but Uncle John wanted me to give you this. Press play, I think you've got enough time to listen to it before we leave and-"he paused seeing how shaky she was he surprised her by kissing her on her cheek. "You're not on your own Ava" he murmured and left.
Ava swallowed and pressed the 'play' button.
"Ava Xenia what can I say?" it was John's voice he had left her a message "I stole you're recorder and you never noticed. For a mind reader you're sometimes pretty clueless" she couldn't help but let out a small smile. Tears welled up in her eyes "Just know that…there were rumours flying about how enchanting fairies were but they were wrong. Before you swear I am not insulting you."
"You weren't simply just enchanting you are amazing. I know we both at times were at each other throats but you Miss Xenia always seem to won. Your parents would have been so proud of you Ava. Never change the way you are. Life is full of tragedies-"tears streamed down her face "but never let them change you Ava. You…were like another daughter to me, bratty, crazy stubborn as hell. But you were you. And it's been a privilege getting to know you. Goodbye Ava"
Ava let out a small breath and covered her mouth with her hand. Her body shook and she dropped the recorder.
"Guess he wasn't so bad then huh?" Damon asked hearing the last few words of John's message.
"He wasn't" Ava cleared her throat. She was encased in strong arms. Ava wrapped her own arms around the vampire
"Come on, we should leave" he murmured.
They were now all gathered around the Gilbert plot; a couple of headstones away laid the Xenias plot. Ava clutched on to her flowers. Elena stepped forward and crouched down. She laid down roses for her aunt and her biological father. Ava lightly ran the pads of her fingers across the petals.
The doppelganger then moved towards her parents' gravestone and laid down the roses for them.
"They're gone…I-everyone me and Jeremy loved I -"Ava rushed forward surprising the doppelganger when she dropped down onto her knees besides
"You haven't lost everyone" Elena sniffed and hugged the fairy hard, knowing that she felt exactly the same. They were all in the same boat. Alaric stepped forward and placed a rose down for Jenna. He really did love her.
Soon enough everyone had left to go to the Gilberts. Ava however remained behind. She needed to visit someone, well more like a group.
Ava walked across the grassy surface clutching onto a bunch of pale pink gerberas and a bunch of sunflower. She mentally counted the gravestones so she would reach the right plot. When she did she came to a stop.
Ava stepped forward holding her hand and ran her fingers over the engraving 'Faith Xenia' she mouthed and then moved on to the next name 'Xavier Crass'. She laid the bunch of sunflowers down and then moved onto the next gravestone 'Claudine Xenia' when she set the pink gerberas down. Ava sunk down onto her knees.
"Hey mom, dad and Gran" Ava murmured her voice was quiet and soft. "I know Gran you would be kicking my ass right now and shouting 'visit more often loser'" she mimicked her Gran's voice. "But I'm here now" her fingers grazed the grass on the ground "Jenna is gone so is John." Ava sniffed. "He wasn't a dick…"she wiped her tears. "I feel alone Gran" she admitted "I know Damon is hiding something but he won't say. I think he thinks I can't handle it. Gran you're right boys are sometimes bitches….I-so….just lonely really"
"You don't need to be"
"Jeremy?"
"You're not on your own Ava" Elena said, she and Jeremy both took a seat on either side of Ava. They sat at the Xenias plot
"Neither are you guys, after all orphans stick together right?" Ava announced.
"Right" Jeremy and Elena said in unison
"Aren't you guys meant to be at a tea party or something?" the fairy questioned leaning back; Jeremy wrapped his arm around the smaller teen whilst Elena rested her head against her shoulder.
"A tea party without Ava would be strange and-"
"Too normal" Jeremy finished off "Oww" he yelped when Ava whacked him on the arm. "Alright…who wants to have biscuits and cakes when we can have this" she felt something being shoved into her hands.
"Pop-tarts?" Ava cocked an eyebrow. The trio sat there together comforting one another and acting like they always did. Like siblings.
