"Your fairy is very annoying. Hurry up" Rebekah told her brother, the female Original let out another annoyed sigh.
"God I hadn't showered in decades and-"
"Hey" Ava snapped "you could have had one last night but ya didn't? But you chose to feed"
Klaus closed his eyes and placed his arms behind his head and sighed.
"Are you going to let her talk to me like that?" Rebekah snapped glaring at her brother
"He doesn't control me" Ava yelled through the door.
Rebekah sneered just as Stefan entered the room. The vampire was immediately on the alert when he saw the enraged Original and there was no sign of Ava anywhere. "What's going on?" he asked forcing himself to remain calm but he couldn't help but jump to conclusions. "Where's Ava?"
"That brat is hogging the bathroom" Rebekah scowled
Stefan sagged in relief and dropped down on the cushy armchair "Oh wasn't it you who said it'll be easier for them to share rooms?" Stefan smirked. Klaus rolled his eyes and sighed
"Can we hurry things along? We have to go meet Gloria" the hybrid drawled
"Not before shopping" Rebekah shook her head "I can't walk around in the Fairy's clothes….they're too…fairy-like"
"Fine" Klaus snapped knowing he owed his sister that much. "Just Ava hurry along-"
"What is she doing in there?" Rebekah paced up and down in the room.
Stefan couldn't help but smile knowingly, which caught Klaus's attention "What?"
"Have either of you actually used your heightened hearing to find out what she is doing in there?" Stefan asked aloud. Rebekah frowned
"There's-I don't hear water running" Rebekah muttered and stormed over to the bathroom door, she wrenched it opened revealing a dressed Ava sitting on the counter swinging her legs back and forth.
"Were you just sitting there the whole time?" Rebekah snapped as the Fairy grinned and jumped off the counter-top
"Yep-"
"I needed to use the bathroom-"
"I know" Ava uttered,
"Then why?"
"I wanted to be annoying" the petite teen shrugged her shoulders. Klaus growled out in annoyance
"You little brat" Rebekah spat
"Hey…you street-walker" Ava retorted
"Did she just call me a prostitute?" the female Original scowled and went to launch herself at the fairy but Stefan intervened.
"How about this, I'll get the fairy fed and we meet down there" Stefan said.
"Fine, fine. The sooner we are out of here the better" Klaus waved them off. With that Stefan grabbed Ava's hand and dragged her out of the room.
"Really Ava? Purposefully annoying a pair of Originals?" Stefan pressed the button of the elevator. When she heard the ding they stepped into it
"Yeah I know not smart. But forget that" Ava shook her head "We need to talk"
Soon enough Ava and Stefan were sitting in the eating area of the restaurant, he watched in slight awe and a bit of disgust when Ava drowned her chocolate chip pancakes in maple syrup.
"Stefan I know you're staring" Ava cut into her meal and shoved a forkful into her mouth "and I just wanted to tell you…you can't have any. This is mine"
Stefan rolled his eyes; one thing that didn't seem to change over the past few weeks was Ava's food intake. "I didn't want it anyway" he muttered.
"Bitch" Ava shook her head "You so did. Please tell me you're not pouting" she sighed feeling the sugary goodness going down her throat
"I am not-"
"Ha, you so are" she declared
"Ava-"
"Alright, alright. So what's wrong?" Ava licked her lips and took a sip of her juice. The diner was sort of busy so the pair didn't need to be worried about being overheard.
Stefan swallowed "Nothing-"
"No don't do that" she ordered "we're in this together. And I can tell you've been even more broody if that's even possible. So tell me" she demanded.
Stefan took a sip of his strong coffee "Nothing-"he didn't want Ava to get involved but she already was.
"Stefan I can tell when you're lying" Ava rolled her milky green orbs "What is going on? Does it have something to do with the necklace that they're trying to find?" she asked putting another forkful of pancakes into her mouth.
"Ava-"
"Stefan tell me"
Stefan sighed and rubbed his temple with his hand "Fine. The necklace they are looking for is the same necklace I gave to Elena" he told her.
Ava's eyes bugged out surprised at the revelation. "Holy shit on a stick" she exclaimed "why can't anything be simple?" she ran her fingers through her thick hair. "So they're hunting down a necklace which is currently with Elena. Who Klaus think is dead?"
"Yes" Stefan nodded
"Wonderful" Ava uttered sarcastically, not feeling very hungry at all "We have to make sure that they don't find out about it then don't we?"
"We do, they can't know Ava. So we're going to have to keep them distracted ok?" Stefan asked.
Ava nodded, "Sure" they come too far and did horrible things to keep Klaus away from Mystic Falls, they can't fall at the latest hurdle.
"Miss you're messing up the display" a sales assistant uttered, Ava, Stefan, Klaus and Rebekah were at a clothes boutique, since the female Original needed some new outfits. Stefan and Klaus were by the fitting rooms lounging on the chairs. Whilst the blond had grown bored and wondered off.
"And?" Ava countered taking another sweater off of the shelf. She tutted "this material makes my skin itchy." She informed the irritated woman.
"Would you like to look at the dresses then?"
"Nope-"
"God she is infuriating. I so don't get paid enough to deal with asses like her-"
"Oh bitch" Ava scoffed hearing the woman's thought "You get overpaid. All you do in your prissy little store is trail after rich people. Hardly a skill" she huffed.
"You little braggart-"
"You bloody gold-digger." Ava countered "and your sweater is way over-priced. Five hundred bucks for it? Let me ask you something" she cleared her throat. The sales assistant was getting embarrassed since the other patrons of the store were all looking at them now "Was you high when you priced these?"
The woman spluttered "I-I-"
"And your hubby is shacking up with his ex-wife" Ava added on. The sales assistant eyes welled up in tears
"Is he?"
"Yeah he is and don't cry" she carried on; Stefan had wondered where Ava had disappeared off to and heard her voice from the other side of the store. He was surprised at the scene "It's pathetic" she finished off. With that the woman burst out in tears. "I just told you not to cry"
Stefan decided to intervene and rushed forward "Apologies, my sister hadn't had good morning" he caught the sales assistant's eye "forget this ever happened. And you're going to help another customer" he compelled her.
Stefan grabbed her hand and dragged her back over to where Klaus was lounging around, as he waited for Rebekah.
"What was that?" he whispered into her ear
"What?" the fairy frowned in confusion. "Oh that woman…she'll find out soon enough"
Stefan shook his head, noting that the blond didn't seem to care that much. Ava flopped down in the cushioned seat besides Stefan; the vampire went back to flickering through the magazine he had been reading beforehand.
"Is she done yet?" Ava asked playing with a strand of her hair.
"Doesn't look like it does it?" Klaus slouched in his seat and held up his empty glass so it would be refilled
The fairy sighed and held out her hand to Stefan who scoffed "Too early for you to be drinking"
She sighed and stretched her legs out and propped her feet on the white marble table. There was the steady sound of music beating within the store.
"There has to be more to this dress" Rebekah's voice rang out from the fitting room.
"There's not" Klaus murmured glancing over to the fairy,
Stefan looked up as Rebekah emerged from the fitting with, sporting a little black dress. "So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes then?" the blond vampire asked.
"Hey…" Ava called out "just wear tights or something."
"I got dirty looks for wearing trousers" Rebekah uttered
"You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing" Klaus drawled
"Eww" Ava shook her head "Next time I am wearing trousers" she muttered and subtly pulled down her denim shorts so it would cover her legs more.
"And what is this music? It sounds like a cable car accident" she whined
Ava groaned "Please don't tell me I whine like that?" she whispered loudly to Stefan "If I do, I commend you for not punching my face in"
Stefan snorted whilst Rebekah glared at the petite blond "It's dance music" he informed the other vampire.
"People dance to this?" Rebekah asked
"Hmm" Stefan nodded; Ava placed her arm over face and leant back
"Are we done yet?" Klaus sipped his drink, like Ava he was bored out of him mind from all this shopping.
"And why are you so grumpy?" Rebekah asked her brother walking over to him.
Klaus placed the empty glass on the table besides him "I needed one thing from you, for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying. One thing, your necklace and you lost it"
"Bummer isn't it?" Ava commented and sat up from her slumped position "Maybe it's a sign that you're not meant to have minions-I mean fellow hybrids"
"No its not" Klaus snapped at her. She frowned and faced away from him.
"Don't get bitchy with me. She is the one that lost it" Ava muttered
"I didn't lose it" Rebekah rolled her blue eyes "it's just been missing for ninety years. So what do you think?" she asked Stefan gesturing to her outfit and twirled around.
"I like it" Stefan nodded. "What? I said I liked it" he murmured when she gave him a look
"I can always tell when you're lying Stefan" Rebekah drawled and turned on her heel heading back into the fitting room.
"Wait...is she going to try on more outfits?" Ava asked
"Looks like it love" Klaus sighed plucking up the Champaign bottle, he chuckled at Ava's response which was to grab the large cushion beside her and shoved it over her face. "Nice one, good work Stefan" he said sarcastically
"You're the one that pulled the dagger out of her" Stefan countered causing Ava to snort
"I heard that" Rebekah called
"They did say it out loud, ergo…he doesn't really give a damn if you heard it or not" Ava said aloud causing both Klaus and Stefan to chuckle.
"Alright I'm going to get some fresh air" Stefan said standing up "Ava?"
"No she wants to stay here right?" Klaus smirked
"Yeah…I can't be bothered to move" Ava's voice came out muffled she pushed the cushion aside
Stefan frowned "Ok…"he shook his head and left the store.
Klaus looked back over to the fairy and noted the expression on her face. "I thought you'd be excited about shopping" he commented.
Ava cocked an eyebrow "What's so great about going round and round a store trying to fine the 'perfect'-"she used air quotes "outfit. And in the end they buy the first outfit they saw" she sighed "It's boring-"
"It's only because you can't see the outfits" Rebekah snapped.
"Wow…bitch much" Ava muttered, Klaus shook his head and took another sip of his drink.
"I heard that" Rebekah called out
"My god. I said it out loud so you was meant to" the fairy called back "Is the Champaign next to me right?" she didn't wait for a reply and went to grab the bottle.
"No-"Klaus groaned when she accidentally knocked the expensive bottle of the bubbly liquid on to the floor shattering it.
"Did she just knock the Champaign on the floor?" Rebekah exited the fitting room
"Oh wait you didn't hear that?" Ava asked with a smirk on her face. Klaus hid his smile by waving one of the sales assistants over.
"I can see why you want to keep her brother" Rebekah said low enough so only the hybrid could hear "She's got spunk"
"And so much more" Klaus murmured taking a sip of the bubbly liquid.
Meanwhile across the street and down the road, Stefan was currently speaking to an old foe/lover. He was kind of miffed that Katherine was in Chicago trailing after them. After all, Klaus made it no secret that when he saw the Petrova vampire she was dead.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Stefan asked
Katherine smirked and was leaning against a pillar "So you, Ava and Klaus look very chummy" she commented "You three besties?"
"If he finds out you're in Chicago you're dead" Stefan stated folding his arms across his chest looking at Katherine
"Happy to know that you still care" Katherine smiled shouldering her bag. Stefan merely raised his eyebrows "So tell me if I'm wrong. Rebekah's necklace that Klaus is looking for is the necklace you gave to Elena"
"Goodbye Katherine" Stefan started to walk away but she blocked his path and placed her hand on his chest to stop him
"Hey, hey wait you're up to something. Tell me" Katherine demanded.
"They don't know where the necklace is. I just have to keep them from figuring it out I have it all under control"
"Please tell me you have a better plan than that" Katherine scoffed "You do" she could tell by the expression on his face, that the younger vampire did have something up his sleeve. "Oh come on Stefan, you're not the diabolical type whatever your planning it's not going to work"
"Well if the most diabolical woman can't figure it out, then I must be doing something right" Stefan smirked
"Uh huh" Katherine nodded "you're bad now, don't get too cocky. Klaus is smarter than you. He's smarter than everyone"
"Right" Stefan merely shrugged his shoulders and started to walk off but Katherine halted him.
"I'm curious is Ava in on your little plan?" the vampire asked, Stefan looked over his shoulder
"What?"
"Well you two share everything don't you? Harsh the way she sent Damon packing…but oh well...answer me something Stef. Is the fairy drinking Klaus's blood?" Katherine asked
Stefan swallowed casing the older vampire to sigh "Ava know what's at stake she won't-"
"Tell? Ava is only one push away from the edge Stefan. Careful now" Katherine warned him.
"One push?"
"She is on the edge Stefan. And soon enough she will be sinking" she said cryptically "oh and watch out for the sister. She'll ruin you"
Stefan scoffed "Glad to know that you still care" he uttered and without another word he walked off blending in to the crowd.
"And this should do the trick" Rebekah declared making herself a drink "oh come on. You're a girl you're meant to be into shopping and whatnot-"
"Not every girl likes to shop" Ava muttered, she was thankful that they were back at Gloria's bar. The fairy was forced to endure another two hours of shopping with the Originals. She had Rebekah in one ear jabbering about colours or something. And Klaus's snide comments in the other ear.
"Then what kind of girl are you?"
"Not a shallow one" Ava countered and was resting her elbows on the bar. Her mind wasn't really focused on the female Original, no her mind was on Gloria knowing that the witch was attempting to discover where the necklace was.
"Drinking already? did I not mention that I don't have underage drinking here?" the witch asked as she lit another candle, setting up the area she would be doing her work.
"You did say that but…I've been shopping for the last three hours so this is valid" Ava declared and uncorked the bottle of whisky and was about to take a sip before it was snatched out of her hands "OH come on" she yelled in frustration.
"This is some good whisky" Klaus smirked
"Dick" Ava scoffed and slumped against the bar, she felt someone brushing up against her other side. Rebekah hopped onto the bar so now the fairy was in between the pair.
"So Ava do you ever brush your hair?" Rebekah asked out of the blue. The fairy's eyes widened
"Why does every one bitch about my hair?" she huffed
"Because it's a mess. Wait there-"the Original ordered
"What why-OWW" Ava howled when the brush tore through her hair "HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL WOMAN?" she shrieked
"Ok ow love" Klaus rubbed his ears "you're loud-"
"You're sister is murdering me" Ava hissed and clutched her scalp "lay off the vampire strength-"she grouched. Klaus didn't miss the look of amusement passing across his sister's face. Huh he thought seems like Rebekah already found a new buddy, pity that Ava wasn't in the friend-making mood.
"Done" Rebekah declared throwing the hairbrush down onto the bar-top "Now you look a little bit more civilise."
"I was before" Ava muttered
"No you wasn't" Klaus and Rebekah said in unison.
The fairy scowled and crossed her arms over her chest "Both of you are bitches" she sniffed
"She says that word a lot" Rebekah quirked an eyebrow
"Not very original when it comes to insults" Klaus murmured "are you love?"
"As if you can talk." She scoffed "your pet names are super, super and super lame" she cleared her throat. Rebekah smirked at that; it's been a long time since she saw someone standing up to her brother.
Ava bit her lip she was getting anxious when she heard Gloria beginning to chant. Crap she thought they were going to find the necklace, she prayed that someone how the with would fail.
"You left us" Rebekah commented spying Stefan entering the bar
"Yeah sorry" Stefan approached the trio, he stopped in front of Ava "retail therapy was making my head explode" he uttered "did you eat?" he asked the teen
"Yes" Ava replied, it was true, before they had arrived at Gloria's they did a pit stop at the diner down the road.
"What's she doing?" Stefan asked referring to the witch.
"She's failing" Klaus replying glaring at the witch.
"It's hard to find something if you don't have something to go on" Gloria sniped peeking one eye open before she closed it again.
"Pity" Ava hummed and licked her lips. Things were beginning to look up, she and Stefan just had to make sure that the witch didn't tell.
"So use me" Rebekah declared jumping off of the bar, "I only wore it for a hundred years" she waltzed over to the witch and hopped onto the table
"See, now this one offers a solution" Gloria nodded. Ava blinked shit she thought. She forced herself to remain calm, not wanting to give anything away. Stefan had to hand it to the teen, she can handle being under pressure. "Alright, give me your hand sweetheart" she held out her hand to the Original. Rebekah placed her hand in the witch's hand
"She's looking for the necklace huh?" Stefan cleared his throat.
"Yep" Ava replied, she swallowed and cautiously pulled down the barriers linking her mind to the witch's. she didn't dive in since Ava didn't want her to know that she was probing her mind. When she noted that the witch was too focused on Rebekah she concentrated. Images after images hit Ava, she saw Elena, Caroline and Bonnie all crowding around the kitchen. They were cooking. She balled her fists hearing the doppelganger plucking the necklace from her neck revealing a burnt mark. The fairy immediately pulled out of Gloria's mind when she heard the witch speak
"I can sense something" she murmured, her eyes remained closed. From the corner of his eye Stefan noted the look on Ava's face, he moved forward eyeing the witch. Ava could feel the tension in the air, she had a sinking feeling in her gut. She could hear the witch chanting both Ava and Stefan stiffened hoping that their secret wouldn't be discovered
"I found it" Gloria declared.
Ava tucked in a stray curl and licked her lips, crap Klaus was going to be so pissed she thought
"So where is it?" Rebekah asked
"It doesn't work like that doll. I get images, there's a girl with her friends-"Ava knew she saw Elena, Caroline and Bonnie, she had a longing in her gut. She was meant to be there, she was meant to be messing around in the kitchen, and stealing the Gilbert's food and just being happy.
"Yes a dead girl with dead friends. If I don't get my necklace back" Rebekah snarled
"Well I have to dive back in to get the details" Gloria shook her head; Klaus hopped off the seat beside Ava and walked forward leaning over the witch
"I need more time" she simply said "and space, you're harshing my juju"
Ava hummed "Wait do witch's actually have juju?" she asked curiously
"We do. And if we're feeling trapped or rushed it doesn't work" Gloria said raising her eyebrows at Klaus.
"Klaus it's a hint. You're pissing the witch off" the fairy informed the hybrid causing Gloria to smile
"We can wait" Klaus bit out, he just wanted to find the necklace and figure why his hybrids were dying on him.
"I'm sure you can" Gloria agreed "but that's not what I asked"
Stefan decided to step in, not wanting Klaus to hassle the witch "Hey you know, why don't we just come back later. I'm hungry anyway-"
"Good" Ava nodded jumping off of the stool "I am feeling rather famished-"
"You just ate-"Rebekah pointed out
"I can have a snack ya know" Ava retorted and smoothed down her top.
"Come on I'll let you pick who we eat" Stefan carried on.
The fairy balked "Erm…I'm cool with a Big Mac, or maybe we could stop by subway…or KFC I love their wings" she rambled
"Ok, ok Ava" Stefan ushered out of her room and glanced over his shoulder seeing Rebekah and Klaus following "this is yours" he slipped his cell in the front pocket of her denim shorts. "And nothing sugary-"he added
"Oh" Ava whined
"Lets go" Klaus declared.
"Fae don't try and read my mind again" Ava jolted hearing Gloria's voice in her head.
"You alright love?" Klaus called realising that the blond wasn't on their heels. Stefan frowned and also stopped
"Just peachy" she nodded and scurried after them.
"Ok when I mentioned I was hungry you vamps were aware I meant human food right?" Ava asked, they were back in the warehouse, and much to the fairy's annoyance they had compelled a couple of girls so they could feed from them
"Human food is fattening" Rebekah sniped. Both females were sitting atop wooden crates, whilst Stefan and Klaus were in the armchairs. The petite teen made sure to strengthen the barriers in her mind so she wouldn't hear these poor girls' thoughts.
"And feeding off of diseased ridden human is healthy?" Ava countered she was swinging her legs back and forth; Rebekah pulled her knees up to her chest.
"Well my girl is dead and I'm bored" Rebekah uttered sulkily
"That's how I feel all day" Ava exclaimed "except for the dead girl part…because I don't kill people…or suck people…ok that-"
"You really don't know how to stop talking" the Original sighed and shook her head.
"You weren't kidding about being hungry" Klaus retracted his fangs finding his meal feeling but nearly as pleasurable as he found it when he took Ava's blood. He dropped the dead girl onto the floor.
"It's been a long day" Stefan murmured blood marring his lips
"Try to be related to her" Klaus nodded towards Rebekah
"You're being mean" the female Original frowned, Ava rolled her eyes and dramatically fell back onto the wooden crate she was on.
"That's the word you described him? Mean? Use different words" the fairy muttered
"And why are you being mean Stefan? You use to love me"
"Erm…that was a different lifetime ago" Ava commented placing her arm over her eyes, she was bored, running around Chicago and all they did was shop, she wanted to go to museums, the main attractions. Plus she heard Gran once say that Chicago had a stall that sold the most delicious hot-dogs.
"It's been ninety years Rebekah. Give him a minute" Klaus drawled licking his lips.
"Why are you taking his side?" Rebekah asked
"Oh my god Rebekah seriously? You sound like you're going to cry…get over it" Ava called out and yelped when she was shoved off of the wooden crate. "Ok…you're not over it. Bitch" she sat up and shuffled on her bottom so that she leaning against the crate.
"Because dear sister, I feel pity for any man who doesn't give you what you want" Klaus smirked
"Would you stop making me out to be a brat? I am not a brat" Rebekah spat
"I beg to differ" the petite teen muttered
"Thousand years of life experience says otherwise" Klaus countered, Ava rolled her milky green orbs as Stefan chuckled
"Well you're no picnic either. I mean I only spent one summer with you and I feel like I want to blow my head off…and I'm sure Ava feel the same"
"Pfft I'm actually fantasying ways to kill him" she snickered.
Rebekah chuckled "Fantastic"
Stefan grinned and dropped the dead girl onto the floor, and stood up "I need to go" he wiped his mouth "behave Ava" he patted her on top of her head
"Where's he going?" Rebekah asked watching Stefan leaving
"To write a name on the wall" Klaus replied licking his lips. "So what should we do now?"
"Shopping" Rebekah instantly replied
"NOOO" Ava whined shaking her head, she couldn't stand waiting around again for Rebekah to decide to buy and what not to.
"Screw this" Ava muttered, once again stuck in a clothing boutique with the pair of Originals. She meandered through the racks and any of the clothes that she didn't like the feel she would just drop them on the floor.
"Brother your fairy is destroying the store" Rebekah called out wondering over to the other blond.
"Can you blame me?" she muttered
"And she's exceptionally grumpy" Rebekah smirked when the other girl rolled her eyes "Why is that?"
"Maybe because I know there's much better things to than shop and go round and round in circles?" Ava declared with a fake smile on her face. "Or-"just then her stomach let out a rumble
"You're hungry" Klaus smirked appearing behind her she nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt the hybrid trailing his finger down her back. "Well Rebekah want to join me while I feed the fairy?"
"I do have a name" Ava snapped getting irritated by the pair "And I can get my own food" she walked out of the store and felt the fresh breeze against her skin. Ava opened up her mind wanting to find out if there was a hotdog stall nearby.
"Jackpot" Ava declared managing to find out that there indeed a stall on the next street. With that the fairy walked off in that direction. She jumped when she felt a vibration in her pocket and realised Stefan's cell was ringing.
"Hello?" she picked up "Who's this? If this is some cold caller well you suck and yeah..-"
"Ava-"
"Stefan?"
"Yes me, listen to me. Keep Klaus and Rebekah busy, I'm going to see Gloria, and see if she found out where the necklace was ok?"
Ava bit her lip mentally cursing herself, she just walked out on the pair but Stefan didn't need to know that "Sure"
"Ok well-"
"Question" Ava cleared her throat "is it weird to call your own cell?"
"Goodbye Ava" he hanged up on her.
Ava frowned and shook her head. She tucked the cell into her pocket. She carried on walking figuring out she might as well eat before she proves to be a distraction. Ava slowed down smelling the unmistakable scent of cooking meat. She was here.
"Hello dear" the vendor called out
"HI" Ava smiled "Can I have one of your finest hot dogs ever?" she moved forward.
"Sure doll, what'd you want on it?"
"Hmm…everything" Ava uttered,
"A girl who can eat. My type" he grinned and started to make her hotdog
Ava cocked an eyebrow "Yeah…aren't you like a hundred?" she asked
The man raised a shaggy eyebrow "I was being nice and I'm only fifty-"
"Oh right…well you are old" she muttered, things were getting awkward very quickly
"You kid are something else" the man shook his head adding the finishes touches onto her meal. "Ta da there ya go" he declared handing it over. Ava took a chunk out of eat and groaned, oh this was good.
"Oh wow" she hummed
"Great that'd be six bucks kid" he grinned.
Ava's jaw dropped "Hold it Granddad, you are overcharging shouldn't It be like three bucks?" she licked her lips
"You called me old and you wanted everything on it" he countered
"Bitch-"
"Brat. Now give me my money" he ordered.
Ava frowned and shoved her hand into her pocket, and felt her cheeks heating up, realising that Stefan had her wad of cash. "Oh well…the thing is-"
"You don't have money do ya?"
"I do-"
"Well give me six bucks then" he ordered
"Listen dude…I do have money but I don't have it on me-"the streets were still buzzing with people "and-"
"That's it I'm calling the cops-"Ava's eyes bugged out, ok she didn't except that. Stefan was so going to kick her ass…and it was such lame reason to be going to jail. Not being able to pay for a hotdog.
"Don't be hasty mate" an accented voice murmured, she felt the side of her body brush against his. "She paid and make me one"
"Really Klaus?" Ava whispered "You want one?"
"Well it looked like you was enjoying it" he smirked and took his meal. "Come on then" they walked through the crowd down the street.
"Please don't tell me we're going back to shopping" Ava took another bite out of the bun.
Klaus chuckled and took a bite out of his hot dog he hummed "Ok now I get why you like this so much. So I know one thing about you, you like hot dogs-"
"Please don't say anything perverted" Ava shook her head making the hybrid laugh loudly
"Alright love. So I know you like these and I know you don't like shopping"
Ava swallowed and was about to say something before she was barged causing her to stumble, she felt a firm grip on her upper arm
"Watch it mate" Klaus snarled glaring at the man
"What? Tell your girl to watch where she is –oh"
"Oh now you realised" Ava rolled her milky green orbs, the man looked embarresssed and was about to walk off but Klaus grabbed him
"I didn't hear your apology mate" Klaus sneered.
Ava swallowed and grabbed his wrist "Klaus don't" she hissed "just leave him-"
"I'm sorry-"the man spluttered, terrified of the other man.
"Doesn't sound like you mean it" Klaus drawled getting a kick out of the man's terror
"Klaus stop" Ava snapped.
"You're no fun love" Klaus reluctantly sent the man scurrying off.
Ava rolled her milky orbs "Yeah killing people doesn't excite me. Shocking" she huffed as they carried on walking,
"Am I sensing sarcasm?"
"You know it"
Klaus chuckled "Since you're not a big fan of shopping how about I take you someplace else?" he asked, Ava slowed down
"What about Rebekah?"
"She is shopping. So unless you want to join her-"
"No, no I'm good" Ava rushed out earning a smile from the hybrid "let's go."
"Welcome love to the Field's museum. Famous for its dinosaurs exhibit and other gems" Klaus declared as they walked in to the warm building, there was a low tone of music in the background.
"Oh my god" Ava breathed. "Shit, shit, shit. Come on, I wanna go to the T-Rex display" she exclaimed and didn't bother waiting for him. Klaus watched in amusement as the fairy ran off.
He canted his head to the side "She likes dinosaurs who'd thought it" he muttered and only took a step forward before he heard the sound of an almighty crash. Klaus sped his pace up and entered the next room and stopped at the sight. "You-"
"She broke a priceless artefact" the curator screamed, Ava had accidentally knocked down a display of fossils
"You can mend it-"she swallowed stumbling on to her feet "I can help-"she went to reach forward but the chubby man slapped her hand
"No don't touch. It's not broken this one but if you touch it, it might be" he barked
"Ok…Klaus I think we should leave" Ava hummed and the hybrid snorted and grabbed her hand
"Right" he guided her out of the room
"Don't come back" the curator screeched.
As soon as they stepped out Klaus laughed loudly and Ava groaned "Well that was embarrassing" she muttered
"No that was funny. Couldn't last five minutes in a nice place" he snorted "Come. We'll go somewhere else and please don't break anything" he added.
Soon enough they were at their next destination "You took me to a park?" Ava asked a frown on her face.
"Well you can't possibly break anything by running off" Klaus countered and looked around at the vast place "And it's not just any place it's the Millennium park" he added they walked down a path. She could feel the light breeze on her skin, she grudgingly had to admit that this was better than the stuffy museum they had been in moments beforehand. "Come on there's the Lurie Garden you might like."
They walked down the acres of grass, she inhaled and was hit with aroma of different flowers.
"Ok I got to hand it to you, you do know Chicago" Ava admitted as they walked down the rows of flowers.
"I do know my way around the love" he uttered and plucked a flower from the ground. "Hmm I heard you do like sunflowers" she felt a stem being pressed into her palms.
"Thanks but are you allowed to pick the flowers-"
"HEY" a guard shouted
"Oh crap-"
"Run" Klaus grabbed her hand and they ran weaving in and out through the crowd. He looked over his shoulder and spied two park rangers behind them.
"Ok any idea where we're going?" Ava asked her stomach lurched; maybe running after eating a heavy meal wasn't so good.
"This way-"with that he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into a side alley. When he saw the fairy opening her mouth about to say something so he placed his hand over her mouth shutting her up, when the rangers ran pass them he removed his hand but stayed close.
Ava panted "You could've just compelled them" she was unaware of how close they were to one another.
"Oh but then we would have missed out on the chase. That's the best part" he smirked. "Tell me you didn't find it fun"
Ava licked her lips "Ok…it was fun" she grudgingly agreed. Klaus chuckled and brushed aside her fallen curls causing her to tense. "So-"
"Are you hiding anything from me Ava?" Klaus whispered into her ear, she was hit with a face-full of his scent. The fairy swallowed feeling a pull in her gut "Are you hiding something?"
Yeah Elena is alive that's the reason why you can't create hybrids Ava thought but what came out of her mouth was a strong "No"
"You're not lying Ava?" he ran his finger down her cheek and rested it at her pulse point.
Ava bit down on her bottom lip, she could his chest brushing against hers. She was utterly confused by the reaction her body was having to him. "No" she repeated.
"Good…now how about a little reward?" his breath washed against her face causing her eyes to close
"Klaus-"
"You know you want to love." His eyes morphed into a pair of golden orbs and bit down on the palm of his hand.
"Klaus" Ava licked her lips, she could smell and she had the sudden urge to take a sip "I can't-"
"You can love" Klaus declared, there was no peering down the alley giving the pair some privacy. He noted the darkness sweeping through her milky green orbs.
He used his thumb and took a swipe of his blood before his self-inflicted wound closed. Klaus smudged the blood across Ava's lips and leant in close "come on love, you know you want it. Just indulge yourself" he coaxed her.
Ava swallowed and licked her lips, and sighed when she tasted his blood. She wanted it. "Want more?"
"Yes" she breathed, a breeze passed over them, lifting the fairy's hair. Once again Ava was assaulted with his scent. He bit down on his wrist and held it out in front of her she didn't need any more coaxing and latched her lips onto his wrist. Ava's hands clasped around Klaus's wrist and she pulled herself closet.
Swallowing mouthful after mouthful of the hybrid's blood, his other hand found itself across her blood pulling her closer. When he deemed she had more than enough he pulled back. And used his index finger to lift her chin, he smirked seeing her eyes they were dark. "Well done sweetheart"
Ava's stomach lurched, the blood, the hotdog, and all the sodas that she had beforehand was coming back up. Klaus hastily stepped back before Ava vomited all over the floor, she managed to stain her clothes.
"I guess we have to make a pit stop" the hybrid muttered, knowing that the fairy couldn't go round with stained clothes, otherwise she'll attract stares.
Ava buttoned up her shorts; Klaus had dropped her at a clothing store where he compelled a woman to help her with her clothes. In the end she opted for shorts and a top. The fairy couldn't dissuade him from going to check on Gloria; she just hoped that whatever Stefan planned on doing to persuade the witch from telling Klaus their secret he already done.
She just smoothed down her top before the door was slammed open "Come on we're leaving" Klaus uttered and grabbed her before she could blink.
"What?"
"Don't ask questions" he snapped and when they were out of the store he rounded the corner and picked her up and they blurred off.
Ava stumbled when she placed on the floor; "Come on" Klaus ordered and grabbed her hand dragging her back into the warehouse where he had stored the coffins of his family.
He slammed the door open and stalked forward. "Gloria is gone, she cleared out we need to find another witch" Klaus said aloud. He took in the scene and knew something was amiss "what's going on?"
"Something is wrong; he was asking questions about Mikael." Rebekah announced.
Ava blinked Stefan had clued her in last night about this Mikael person that Klaus was running from. "He's not with us Nik, neither of them" Rebekah's eyes flickered over to fairy, who had gone pale
"I can sense it"
"She's wrong" Stefan murmured willing the fairy to back away. "Klaus-"Ava felt a rush of air pass over her and the sickening sound of something snapping. She felt her heart skip a beat; Klaus had snapped Stefan's neck.
"So love are you or are you not with us?" Klaus turned on her, she heard the sound of him taking a step towards her. Ava took an instinctive step back "Are you with us Ava?"
"Yes" Ava lied she gasped when he blurred towards and slammed her against the wall, holding her up by her neck. She spluttered as he lifted her off of the ground so that her feet dangled
"Now let me clue you in or something love" Klaus whispered harshly "I think you're lying. What are you hiding?"
Ava dug her nails into the back of his hand "Nothing" she said through gritted teeth.
"She and Stefan seem to be holding onto something" Rebekah commented "hiding something really"
"Well love you going to tell us what is it?" Klaus asked the fairy. Ava remained tight lip causing the hybrid to let out audible sigh. "I was hoping that you'd be more co-operative. But that's not your style is it? But I do love a challenge. I'm sure later you'd be much more co-operative. But for now…"Ava felt an explosion of pain, and then nothing.
Stefan let out a groan and immediately sat up and his eyes landed on Klaus who was sitting atop a coffin, the younger vampire blinked "Just give me a chance to explain-"he started as the hybrid merely stared at him
"No need, I'm not mad I'm just curious, Rebekah seems to think you and Ava are holding on to something a piece of your old life." Stefan stiffened and finally noticed the petite blond near the back of the trunk, she was out cold.
The vampire rushed forward to kneel down beside her; he didn't miss the gash on the side of her head. Stefan's moss green eyes trailed over her arms, he realised that she was linked to a blood bag, two blood bags. One attached to each of her hands
"You're taking her blood?" he asked in confusion
"On no, I'm pumping Ava full of my blood. She'll be much more…willing." Klaus smirked. Stefan swallowed he didn't like the look on the hybrid's face. The Original had a knowing smile on his face "well Rebekah has got flawless instinct, borderline supernatural. I think I would check it out to see what you've two been hiding" he smirked
Klaus stood up as Stefan stayed by Ava's side, he watched as the hybrid pulled the shutter up revealing a very familiar town.
"Welcome back to Mystic Falls Stefan" Klaus announced.
Ava and Stefan were back in Mystic Falls.
