Ava groaned waking up to something lightly slapping her cheeks.

"Wakey, wakey my little fairy" a British accented voice rang out; Ava blinked hard and clutched her head in pain. She frowned realising that her hands were attached to something. They tugged painfully when she moved them.

"What the hell?!" she muttered and sat up and ripped the tubes out "is going on?"

"Well-"she gasped when she was pinned against the truck wall "You didn't tell me one thing Ava." He growled.

Ava recalled the last moments before she was knocked out were Klaus demanding whether she was on his side or not.

"That the doppelganger lives" Klaus snarled and his hold tightening on her. Ava gasped and her eyes watered

"You sure?" she croaked, he dropped her onto the ground Ava massaged her throat and knew she'd end up with bruises.

"Yes I'm sure" Klaus knelt down in front of her "So you spent the last weeks lying to me-"

"Technically you never asked. And it must've slipped my mind" she weakly said. Ava shuffled back on her bottom, hearing the snarl coming from the pissed off hybrid. The fairy wasn't going to lie, at the moment she was terrified. There was no Stefan, no Damon to come to her rescue.

"Slipped your mind?" Klaus canted his head to the side he grabbed her chin in a bruising grip "Or my dear little fairy you are so going to pay…but for now, I think it's time for you to get reacquainted with your friends" he grabbed her by her upper-arm and hauled her onto her feet.

"Where's Stefan?" she asked as he dragged her out of the back of the trunk, she felt slightly woozy and hung-over. Ava just felt itchy in her own skin and buckled when Klaus's strides became quick. She felt the gravel crunching beneath her feet "Where are we?"

"Your school and Stefan is on a time out." Klaus slammed the double doors open. Ava swallowed why were they at school? Oh damn it was prank night, the year the future seniors would be spending their time gluing desk drawers shut, putting cling-film over the toilet seats.

"Klaus-"

"Don't speak Ava" he snarled Ava complied and licked her lips, "Oh there's your friends I spy a doppelganger" Klaus hissed into her ear. He pushed her forward.

Elena strolled down the corridor and grinned, she was looking forward to the upcoming year. No Stefan to get her down, but she just wished that her bubbly blond friend was here. Ava would've loved prank night; she would come up with the most horrendous things. She pushed open the door and froze

"Ava?" Elena breathed seeing the fairy standing in the corridor. "Oh my god" she exclaimed and launched herself at the smaller teen and hugged her. Ava's arms came around her, she missed her "How are you? Damon is going to be thrilled to see you" she took a step back to give the teen a once over.

The smile on the doppelganger's face slid off when she took in sight of Ava. The fairy looked unwell, she was pale and gaunt looking, and there were circles underneath her eyes. But what really got Elena was the look in Ava's eyes. They were dark her brown orbs dropped down to Ava's hands

"Ava you're hurt" she murmured seeing a trails of blood down her hands.

"Run" Ava ordered mentally, willing for her to go, Elena frowned in confusion and her heart stopped when a familiar figure stepped up beside Ava.

"Klaus" the brunette gulped and spun on her heel but Klaus blurred in front of her. Elena took a hasty step and grabbed Ava's hand, the fairy's grip was limp but then it tightened.

"You are supposed to be dead" Klaus snapped glaring at Elena, "what are we going to do about that?"

Ava swallowed "Nothing?" she offered. Elena blinked and went to take a step in front of Ava but Klaus noted this and grabbed the petite teen but her arm and used his other hand to grab on to the doppelganger.

He dragged them forward "You put a rather large kink in my plans sweetheart" Klaus spat, as they were ushered forward. Ava nearly did a face-plant, she was finding it hard to keep up "But you did have help didn't you?" his grip tightened on Ava the teen hissed in pain. "The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to create more hybrids. And I haven't been able to do that-"they rounded the corner, Elena yelped, it felt like her arm was being torn out of its socket. "It has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing."

"If you're going to kill me just do it" Elena uttered

"Don't want to know I'm right?" Klaus grinned "but I do have ways of making you both suffer" he shoved Elena through the double doors and grabbed the fairy around the waist.

"Klaus dude…we can sit and talk this out-OWW" she yelped when he grabbed her by the nape of her neck and shoved her forward. He didn't let go of the doppelganger and both teens were pushed into the gymnasium. The fairy could hear laughter, chatter and music.

"Attention seniors" Klaus called out with a fake American accent "You have officially been busted. Prank night is over"

Ava swallowed, her throat was dry and she felt a throbbing in her head "Your accent is so naff" she muttered. Klaus's eyes darkened, Elena licked her lips nervously the fairy was asking for trouble. "Know this Ava, this is down to you" Klaus hissed into her ear, his eyes scoped around the area looking for another target. He smirked finding them "You two, I remember you"

"I'm sorry who are you?" Ava recognised that as Dana

"Oh don't worry I wasn't in my right head the last time we've met." Klaus uttered "lift your foot up and stay there" he compelled the human. Dana did as she was instructed "If she drops her foot Chad. I want you to beat her to death"

Ava's eyes widened at that "You can't do that" she snapped, she winced when his fingers dug painfully into her neck

"I can and I will" he growled the hybrid was beyond furious that Ava and Stefan managed to dupe him all summer

Elena stiffened, they were trapped either way "Klaus" she attempted to reason with him "you don't have to hurt anybody."

"Oh come on love, of course I do" Klaus smirked.

Ava's heart was pumping in her chest a mile a minute, she heard Dana cry out when she wobbled precariously. The fairy willed herself to remain calm, but it was hard since she had a raging hybrid next to her

"Dana keep calm and steady" she instructed, Elena frowned seeing the serene look on Dana's face. Just a second ago she thought the other brunette would burst out in tears.

Klaus canted his head to the side and narrowed knowing the sudden stillness of Dana was down to the fairy. Elena saw where the Original's attention was. She finally managed to connect the dots; Ava was responsible for calming Dana.

"Ava-"Elena gasped when Klaus whipped around and grabbed Ava by her throat holding her up

"Release your control" Klaus demanded,

"Go to hell" Ava spat,

"Ava stop this" Elena cried out and covered her mouth when Klaus threw the teen across the room, Ava grunted as she sent the paper cups that were littered on the floor all rolling off in different directions. "Klaus don't-"Elena shouted as Klaus blurred forward pressing his boot against her stomach holding the blond down.

"Do not test me Ava. I am not happy with you. I don't want you getting in my way." he sneered down at her, and then removed his foot. He walked over to the pair of terrified teens. Ava had released her control over Dana, so that now she was even more terrified the doppelganger sprinted forward and knelt down

"Ava are-"

"Fine" Ava muttered as Elena helped her sit up "He's such a bitch" she grouched, Elena shook her head and grasped onto her hands and pulled the petite teen onto her feet. Dana once again wobbled

"Keep it up" Klaus smirked and crossed his arms across his chest.


Ava licked her lips, she stood beside Elena "Where's Stefan?" she asked. The fairy bit her bottom lip; she knew that Klaus would've also been furious at the other vampire. "What did you do to him?"

"Stefan is on a time, Ava…well she's sort of on a time out as well" Klaus smirked.

The gymnasium doors slammed opened, Bonnie and Matt entered the large hall.

"Ava-"Matt exclaimed he felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of her. Elena had filled him, Bonnie, Caroline and Alaric in on what happened before the summer. The three females had been torn up over the summer, since they had missed her so much.

"Get out of here" the fairy shouted but it was too late. Klaus blurred behind Bonnie, startling the witch.

"Ah I was wondering when you would show up" Klaus commented "Now we can get started, Dana why don't you relax. You and Chad sit tight." He instructed "I assume you're the reason Elena is walking around still alive?" he looked at Bonnie. The young witch steeled herself and held her chin up.

"That's right, if you want to blame someone blame me" Bonnie declared.

"Oh there's no need for blame love, it's just that your witchy interference seems to cause undesirable side effects and since you caused the problem I'm going to have you find the fix" he finished off with a smirk on his lips.

Ava's ears perked up hearing the double doors once again being slammed open; she hoped it was Stefan and Damon, but that feeling immediately deflated.

"Get off of me" Tyler growled as Rebekah shoved him into the hall

"Hush now" Rebekah cooed

"I'd like you all to meet my sister Rebekah" Klaus gestured towards the female Original "word of warning she can be quiet mean"

"What is it with you Originals and understatements?" Ava scowled tucking in a stray curl, the throbbing in her head

"Ava don't be bitchy and you" Rebekah then rounded on her brother "don't be an arse"

"It's hard for him not to be a dick" Ava muttered, the blond shoved Tyler towards Klaus who grabbed him.

"Leave him alone" Elena demanded

"I'm going to make this very simple" Klaus announced and barged pass Ava with Tyler, Elena grabbed onto the fairy's hand to keep her steady "every time I attempt to turn a werewolf-"he gestured to Tyler "into a hybrid, they die during the transition. Ava should know, not pleasant is it?"

Ava swallowed and nervously licked her lips; Klaus bit into his wrist and pressed it against Tyler's lips. The fairy heard the sound of choking and struggle "You're feeding-Klaus-"she went to surge forward

"Don't move an inch Ava, or you'll regret it." He threatened her. "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids Bonnie, and for Tyler's sake you better hurry" Klaus said as those words came out of his mouth he snapped the werewolf's neck. Ava felt Tyler's body against her legs.

"You killed him" Ava said breaking the silence.


Ava was currently kneeling besides Tyler; she pressed her hand against his cheek. He was still warm; she had opened up the barriers of her mind and couldn't detect anything from him. Tyler was dead unless Bonnie somehow gets them out of this.

She could hear sobbing in the background and it was getting on her nerves, and it didn't help that Elena was pacing up and down in front of her. Everything for Ava felt amplified.

"He killed him" Matt scowled gazing down at Tyler's still form, he noted the slight tremble coming from the fairy. She was different but at the moment he couldn't point out what was so…different

Ava shook her head she was getting more and more annoyed by Dana's hysterical crying "Would you shut the hell up Dana" she snapped, causing her friends to stare at her in disbelief "He's dead get over it"

Bonnie blinked and looked over to the doppelganger, who merely shook her head.

"Sorry" Ava muttered holding her head in her hands. The brunette squeezed her shoulder, she knew how much strain the fairy had been put under it was no surprised that she snapped. Unaware to the group teens, Klaus smirked at the abrupt burst from the fairy. It was working.

"He's not dead, Klaus's blood would turn him into a hybrid" Elena shook her head as she continued to pace.

"And if Bonnie is successful he'll live through his transition" Klaus jumped off of the bleachers and strode towards them with Rebekah on his heels "go on then, go and fetch your grimoires, enchantments and whatnot"

He reached down and grasped Ava by the nape of her neck causing her to yelp, his other hand wrapped around Elena's arm "I'll hold on to Ava and Elena for safe keeping" Ava wriggled in his hold,

"Just go, it's not as if we're going anywhere" Ava told her, Bonnie nodded towards Elena and grabbed Matt's hand and left the gymnasium.

"So this is the latest doppelganger" Rebekah drawled from behind Elena, causing the brunette to jump. "The original was much prettier"

Ava rolled her milky green eyes "What the hell?" she scowled trying to pry Klaus's hand off of her "doppelgangers are meant to be exactly the same. Ass what is it with you Originals, don't know the basics. God I miss Elijah-Let go-"she snapped Klaus abruptly let the fairy go, Ava wasn't expecting that and ended up doing a face plant. "Ok…ow"

"Really fairy your mouth is going to get you in trouble" Rebekah drawled, as Elena knelt down to check on her friend. Ava held her stinging nose

"Really fairy your mouth is going to get you in trouble" Ava mimicked, the doppelganger palmed her face

"Are you mocking me?" Rebekah growled glowering the blond; Elena swallowed seeing that the Original looked livid.

"Are you mocking me?" Ava mocked "Yeah I am …such a blabber mouth-"

"Why you little-"she was about to pounce on the fairy, but Klaus stepped in between the pair,

"Enough Rebekah" he growled "take the wolf boy elsewhere" he ordered, Rebekah sent Ava a filthy look and grabbed Tyler by his wrist dragging him out of the gymnasium.

Klaus crouched down in front of Ava "ignore her, petty little thing." Ava stiffened when she felt his fingers brushing aside her curls, "now let's see your nose-"

"Go to hell" Ava spat

Klaus snarled and grabbed Ava's chin, Elena went to help her but the look she got from the hybrid froze her.

"You really don't want to mess with me little girl I am not in the mood" he growled.

"Well-OWW"

"AVA-"Elena shouted when the hybrid roughly sank his fangs into her throat tearing her skin. Klaus pulled back

"Say another word out of line and I promise you that you will regret it" Klaus growled and stood up moving back over to the bleachers.

Ava pressed her hand against the fang marks; she felt her warm blood seeping. Elena shuffled forward and gently pushed aside her hand,

"Not too bad" Elena murmured, it wasn't deep enough to cause serious damage, but there was a slow steady thrum of blood coming from the wound.

"Not too bad?" Ava scowled "It hurts like a bitch…he's such a bitch" she muttered

"What was that?" Klaus called

"I said-hmph-"the rest of her sentence came out muffled since Elena slapped her hand over her mouth

"Shut up" the doppelganger whispered knowing that the fairy's mouth was about to run away with her

"You should listen to her love" Klaus called, Ava's cheeks flushed in anger, she had the urge to slap the man upside his head.


Ava sighed she was currently lying on her back; Elena was consoling a petrified Dana. The fairy attempted to but caused more damage, she made Dana break down in sobs again.

The fairy huffed and idly tapped her foot "Hey Chad?"

"Yes?" the teen spluttered

"Question…what's with all the paper cups?" she asked curiously

"What?" Chad looked at the blond as if she was in sane, Ava sat up

"The paper-cups? Why?"

"Ava not know" Elena snapped causing the blond to frown, Ava licked her lips and pulled her knees up to her chest, she scratched her temple, god why the hell does she feel so itchy for? It was like her something was crawling over her skin. Elena's eyes narrowed on the fairy when she saw her scratching the backs of her hands. The punctured wounds on the backs of Ava's hands looked enflamed. The doppelganger thought they look like needle marks, Elena for the first time noticed that there was a slight tremor from the fairy, it was almost undetectable.

Ava's head snapped up when she heard the doors slamming shut. Someone else was here

"Stefan" Elena stood up, Ava scrambled onto her feet

"Bloody hell Stef, where have you been?" the fairy asked, Elena moved forward so that she was standing beside the smaller teen.

"Klaus" Stefan uttered barely sparing the two girls in front of him a glance

Klaus clasped his hands together placing his chin atop his knuckles "Coming to save your damsel mate?"

"Oh I'm hardly a damsel-"Ava started

"Not you. I have other plans for you" Klaus snapped glaring at her, the fairy could feel the heat of his gaze, and awkwardly raised her hands in a sign of surrender, Elena elbowed her giving Ava the hint to put her hands down which she did.

"I came to ask you for your forgiveness and pledge my loyalty" Stefan's voice rang out

"Well you broke that pledge already, as did Ava-"

"I never made a pledge, I just said I'll come with you" Ava stated,

"Huh…you did. Well Stefan did" Klaus reiterated

"Elena means nothing to me anymore" Stefan called out, the fairy knew he was lying, after all they've been through to make sure that the hybrid didn't find about the doppelganger being alive. Of course he cared for her; Ava knew he loved her, that kind of love just doesn't fizz out. "Whatever you ask of me I will do"

Ava didn't like the sound of that, she idly scratched her hands and shook her head. From the corner of her eye Elena could see Ava twitching.

"Fair enough" Klaus smirked and stepped down off of the bleachers, and waltzed over to the group of teens "lets drink on it, kill them" he gestured towards Dana and Chad. "What are you waiting for? Kill them"

"Whoa" Ava shook her head "you can't do that. Klaus stop being a bitch—"Stefan's blood boiled when the hybrid picked the fairy up by her throat

"I told you to watch what you say" he snarled and threw her down onto the ground. Ava grimaced and got onto her knees "Now kill them ripper" the Original demanded

"No Stefan don't he's not going to hurt me he already-"Elena screamed when Klaus backhanded her across the face.

"You son of a fucking bitch-"Ava swore and just managed to get onto her feet but they were kicked out from beneath her, causing her slam face down, this time she didn't hit her face he slammed his boot down in the middle of her back keeping the fairy still.

Stefan was overcome with rage and flew forward he went to grab the hybrid by his throat, but Klaus easily reversed their position so that now he was holding Stefan

"She means nothing to you?" Klaus barked "your lies just keep piling up-"Ava attempted to get up but couldn't move, she was literally pinned to the floor

"Just let them go" Stefan croaked "I do whatever you want, you have my word"

"Your word doesn't mean much, now I live by your word all summer in which time I never had to resort to this" Klaus made eye contact with the vampire capturing his gaze.

"No don't do this-don't do this-"Stefan begged knowing what was about to happen

"Stop it Klaus" Ava shouted her hands were braced against the floor but his heel dug in, Elena clutched her throbbing cheek

"Stop fighting" Klaus compelled him

"Don't do this-don't do this" Stefan pleaded

"I didn't want to all I wanted was your allegiance and now I'm going to have to take it" the Original uttered. He could still feel Ava squirming beneath his foot. "You will do exactly as I say when I say it"

Elena crawled forward watching the scene on in horror, she willed the fairy to stay still "you will not run, you will not hide you will simply just obey"

Stefan staggered when Klaus's grip disappeared, "No" the doppelganger breathed. Ava swallowed knowing that if the vampire killed Dana and Chad, he would feel utter remorse and full of guilt.

She propped herself up on her forearms and winced since Klaus was still holding her down. She swore under her breath

"Stefan" Elena called out

"Now kill them ripper" Klaus smirked,

Ava swallowed she could hear the panic thoughts from her peers "Ava he's going to kill-"she heard Elena cry out in her mind. The fairy blinked and concentrated as Stefan's fangs descended and his eyes bleed red. Stefan blurred forward but roared in pain and fell to his knees clutching head.

Klaus growled and slammed his foot down hard on the petite teen causing Ava to yelp and lose her concentration. The compelled vampire didn't waste his time and launched himself at Dana and tore into her throat. A loud scream was torn from the girl before she was dropped to the ground.

Ava immediately sat up feeling Klaus's grip on her gone, she went to crawl over to Elena but the hybrid grabbed her and pressed his face against her neck.

"Get in the way again Ava and you will get hurt" Klaus warned her "understand?" he hissed. She whimpered feeling his nails cutting into her arm

"Yes" Ava whispered and backed away when he let go. Elena grabbed the fairy by the back of her top and hugged the blond close. The doppelganger was terrified for them. Ava clenched her eyes shut; she wanted to block her ears when Chad screamed in pain.


Ava cringed hearing Stefan slurping and gulping down blood, she jumped when Klaus ran his finger down the nape of her neck

"It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element" Klaus smirked at Elena; the doppelganger stiffened seeing how close he was to her friend. Elena narrowed her eyes noticing that the slightly trembling fairy seem to become still when the hybrid touched her. "Species has become such a broody lot"

"No kidding" Ava scoffed "they have such pleasant experiences…with the killing and all that…I'm being sarcastic" she gritted her teeth when he dug his finger into wounds in her neck. Elena was sickened when she saw him licking his finger clean of Ava's blood. Her head snapped towards Stefan just as he dropped Chad's dead body into the floor. "You did this to him" Elena snapped

"I invited him to the party love; he's the one dancing on the table." Klaus grinned, Ava scrambled onto her feet as did Elena and the hybrid

"As if you're not enjoying it" Ava scoffed and licked her chapped lips, she lightly shook her head. And grunted in frustration, her own skin felt so itchy…the fairy felt awfully weird. Before she could think what was going on with her the gymnasium doors for the third time that night were slammed opened.

"Where is it?" Rebekah shouted causing Ava and Elena to turn around, the petite teen could hear the anger in her tone. "Where's my necklace?"

"Oh shit" Ava groaned things were steadily and rapidly going downhill fast. She anxiously wringed her hands

"What are you talking about?" Klaus asked turning to face his sister.

"She has my necklace-"

"Liar" Ava accused improvising on the spot. "Where's your freaking necklace Elena?"

"It's gone-"

"Oh for fuck sake-"the fairy cleared her throat "Rebekah is a liar and she's a bit crazy…"

"I'm lying am I?" Rebekah snapped "here look at this" she handed Caroline's cell phone over to her brother who took it. Klaus took in the picture of Ava, Damon, Stefan and Elena; he idly ran his thumb down the fairy's face. He could see the massive difference between the fairy then and her now. His eyes narrowed and he zoomed in on the doppelganger.

"Well she-ok-"Ava squeaked when he grabbed her by the throat, his grip wasn't tight enough to cut off her air supply but it was painful.

"Well, well, well" Klaus growled "I've spent the summer in the company of two liars." He abruptly let Ava go causing her to stagger back and trip over her own feet so her bottom hit the ground.

"Where is it?" Rebekah snarled at Elena.

Ava massaged her throat and felt her skin; she roughly scratched the backs of her hand, causing blood to rise up. She had the sudden urge to rip her blond locks out of her scalp. She felt as if something was crawling up her insides.

"I don't have it anymore" Elena replied shakily

"You're lying" Rebekah snapped and flung herself forward and tore her fangs into the doppelganger's neck. Ava jumped when Elena screamed

"Knock it off" Klaus shouted shoving his sister aside; Elena dropped to the ground right next to Ava and clutched her throat. From the corner of her eye Elena could see Ava holding her hand out, she took it and felt somewhat comforted when the fairy gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Make her tell me where it is Nik" Rebekah demanded

Klaus clasped his hands together and crouched down in front of Elena and Ava "Where's the necklace sweetheart? Be honest"

Elena shuddered and pressed her hand harder against her throat "I'm telling the truth Katherine stole it" she revealed

"Oh for god's sake, that bitch gets around" Ava mumbled

"She does doesn't she" Klaus's lips thinned, Stefan swallowed keeping his eyes firmly on the scene. "Well that's unfortunate" he announced standing up and clapping his hands together "if we had the necklace it would make things a whole lot easier for your witch, but since we're doing this the hard way let's put a clock on it" he strolled over to the large timer and slapped his hand down, it beeped twenty minutes were put up. "Twenty minutes if Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again but this time I want you to feed on Elena-"Ava's eyes widened at that she scrambled back on to her feet

"Klaus you can't do this-"the fairy shouted. Klaus's jaw clenched and Elena gasped when the hybrid blurred forward and pinned Ava to the wall holding her up.

"Do not cross me Ava last warning" he hissed "and do not tell me what I can or cannot do" she slumped when he let go.

"Let go-"he ignored her and grabbed her wrist dragging her back over to where the doppelganger and the others were

"Klaus please don't do this to him" Elena begged looking fearfully at a blood covered Stefan.

"No one leaves, if she tries to run fracture her spine-"he pointed at the doppelganger. "Come-"he gritted his teeth when Ava stubbornly dug her heels into the ground

"No-"

"Fine. See if you can block out Elena's screaming if your witchy friend doesn't come up with something" Klaus snarled and let her go, Ava took a hasty step back "Don't bite Ava leave her for me" he called over his shoulder he stormed out of the gymnasium with Rebekah on his heels.

Ava swallowed and blinked hard "Elena?"

"Yeah?"

"You can take a slap" she complimented her. The doppelganger shook her head

"I know"

"Arrogant much?" Ava scoffed, causing Elena to roll her eyes. "And we sort of match. Both got fangs-"

"We're not bonding over getting bitten" the brunette snapped. Ava shrugged her shoulder and scratched the backs of her hands. God she felt like something was slowly creeping into her head.


The blond licked her lips and ran her fingers through her messy hair, now they had to deal with a dangerous Stefan, this night couldn't get any worse. But the fairy was utterly wrong.

"How long left?" Ava asked she was sitting on the ground her knees pulled up to her chest; both Stefan and Elena were pacing back and forth, the ticking echoed throughout the empty gymnasium.

"Roughly six minutes" Stefan grunted as Elena pressed a cloth against her throat to steady the blood flow. Ava's wound wasn't that deep and it clotted so it was no longer bleeder. She let out a groan and pressed her temple against her knees, wishing the thumping in her head to go away. "This is hopeless" her voice came out muffled

Elena shook her head "No, Caroline's dad-"

"Wait gay Bill was here?" Ava asked lifting her head up

"Yes-"

"Oh I love him-"

"He was torturing her" the doppelganger informed her.

Ava frowned "Ok now I hate him. Anyway what did he do that was so…wow-besides the torture shit?"

Elena swallowed and carried on pacing "I don't know how he did it but he was able to resist compulsion" she uttered.

Ava's brows knitted together, she never heard of that before, "You're shitting me-"

"No I'm not. I don't know how but maybe-"

"Yeah" Stefan scoffed, getting more and more anxious as he paced up and down "maybe it's some mind control, maybe it just take a couple of decades of training it's no big deal" he uttered

"Ok no" Ava snapped "no sarcasm allowed from you Stef" she hugged herself and felt somewhat cold, damn this hall was airy

"Stefan you can control this" Elena said seriously "when that buzzer goes off just drink from me"

Ava swallowed, he was a ripper no way in hell he would be able to control himself "You don't get it" he growled storming over towards his girlfriend "I'm a ripper Elena I can't stop, a ripper doesn't stop. When you speak all I can hear is your heart pumping blood around your body" he snapped.

The fairy blinked and slowly stood up tucking a stray curl behind her ear, "when that clock ticks down I'm going to have to feed from you. And you know what's worst? I'm not going to be able to stop" Stefan's eyes were looking imploringly at her.

"I don't believe that" Elena shook her head, she still believed in him she believed he could control himself "you can fight it; you just have to want it bad enough."

Ava paced up and down nervously needing to stretch her legs, she turned on her heel and started to pace the other way.

"Why because I love you?" Stefan questioned he was covered in a thin sheen of sweat

"Yeah" Elena said loudly "that's right Stefan, because you love me. You'll fight because after everything we've been through you owe me that much"

Ava bit her bottom lip "She's right Stef, for the past summer you weren't a ripper, sure you'd did awful things but…you can fight this Stefan. I know you can" she said sincerely.

Stefan closed his eyes and ran his fingers through his thick hair "You're both right" he admitted "Elena you-I owe you everything. Even you Ava. Because through all of this you two were the people who kept me going" it was true, throughout their horrible summer, Stefan knew he had to keep on going because he had Ava to look out for as well as knowing Elena was back home in Mystic Falls.

"You kept me from giving it all up, from turning it off. But I can't help what I am Elena the more blood I get the more I want it-"Ava was strangely reminded of her situation with Klaus, the more she got from the hybrid, the more she yearned for it. "But if I get so much as near yours, you are dead" he announced.


Ava pressed her heated temple against the cool stone walls, it was relieving her somewhat. She could hear the ticking of the clock in the background.

"Elena you're going to have to run" Stefan groaned kneeling down

"But Klaus said if I run-"Elena started

"I know what he said. But if you stay it won't matter" Stefan looked over to the timer and saw that they had ten seconds. "Ava I need you to do something"

Ava swallowed "Anything"

"Keep me down-"he saw the confused look on her face "use your mind powers and slow me down. Please" he begged.

Ava nodded as her hands shook she couldn't imagine purposely hurting someone so close to her. "Elena get out-"the fairy uttered clenching her hands into fists. But the doppelganger didn't move she couldn't push herself to leave Ava behind with Stefan. The vampire dropped onto his knees.

"Elena please, please, please" Stefan begged, fighting his inner monster, Ava could tell he was struggling to keep his control, she was getting more and more fretful, Stefan's groans and the ticking were getting to her. There was five seconds left now

Stefan looked at the doppelganger "Elena there's no other way-"

"There is" she cut him off, determined to get Stefan to fight "another way Stefan. It's for you to fight-"

They all froze momentarily when the buzzer went off. "Elena run" Ava ordered she heard Stefan's breathing hitch

"Stefan-"Elena started "I love you. Fight Stefan don't give up-"she ordered. The fairy could hear the vampire gasping and groaning

"I can't hold it-"Stefan blurred forward, Elena screamed

"RUN ELENA" Ava shouted as the vampire went to charge forward, but roared in pain when an explosion erupted in his head

"Ava-"Elena yelled

"GO" Ava bellowed, she couldn't hold Stefan down much longer. Elena sprinted out of the gymnasium the fairy could hear the squeakiness of Elena's converses.

"Ava-"Stefan gripped his head "please stop, please stop-"Ava eyes welled up into tears

"I can't hold it Stef-"she gritted her teeth.

"Run"

Ava didn't need telling twice and legged it out of the gymnasium. She tore down the empty corridors

"Elena-" the fairy slammed opened the double doors and started to round a corner, she could hear Stefan running after her "son of a bitch-"she heard him slamming into something she presumed it was the lockers.

"Ava—"Ava ripped through the vampire's mind causing him to scream. She shut the doors behind her and slammed into something hard. And would have fallen back if she wasn't grabbed around the waist

"What the-"

"We really need to stop meeting like this" Klaus smirked seeing the terrified look on Elena's face. He grabbed her and dragged both teens down the corridor,

"Ava-"

"It's going to be ok" Ava dug her nails into Klaus's arm, he lifted the fairy off of her feet and marched towards the cafeteria

"Don't give her false promises love. That's just cruel" he drawled

"Fuck off Klaus" Ava snapped causing the Original to laugh. They burst into the cafeteria, Elena gasped at the sight of Stefan stabbing himself with a mop.

"Now this is fascinating I've never seen something like this before-"he let them go and sat down on top of a table, Elena grabbed onto the fairy's wrist pulling Ava to her side. "The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for this one girl"

"Something that you never had right?" Ava snapped, she and Elena were slightly breathless from their run. The fairy brushed back her curls out of her face.

"Why don't you turn it off?" Klaus asked resting his chin atop his knuckles

"No-"

"Stefan don't listen to him" Ava called out, she was scared for the younger vampire the fairy licked her lips.

"Come on your humanity is killing you" Klaus's voice rang out "all the guilt must be exhausting, why don't you just turn it off?"

"No" Stefan gasped his stomach where a wooden pole was sticking out of him.

"Stefan-"Elena's voice shook

"Don't listen" Ava bit out shaking her head,

"You're strong" Klaus nodded getting on to his and walking over to Stefan, he pulled the makeshift stake out of the vampire. "But you're not that strong-"

"Yes you are" Ava shouted "don't listen to him Stef" she pleaded

"Turn it off" Klaus ordered stepping up to him staring Stefan straight in the eye

"NO" Stefan shouted and shoved the Original back, Elena gasped and Ava jumped

"TURN IT OFF" Klaus slammed him back holding him against the wall, he roared in the younger vampire's face.

"No" Elena shouted, Ava staggered back and gulped. The doppelganger saw the visible change in Stefan's whole demeanour

"What did you do?" Elena whispered her eyes remained on the scene.

"I fixed him" Klaus replied turning around to face the two teens, "But I think a test should be in order-"

"There was nothing wrong with him" Ava spat "turn it on Stefan come on" her voice rang on deaf ears,

"It's not going to work sweetheart" Klaus uttered and stood behind Elena "ripper-"he called, Stefan let out a breath of air. Ava stiffened "perhaps you'd like a drink from the doppelganger's neck?"

Elena hissed when Klaus touched her and looked up at Stefan

"No-"Elena shook her head seeing the veins around Stefan's eyes protruding, his eyes turned red "Ava-"

Stefan went to blur forwards but the fairy held out her hand forcing the vampire onto his knees. Stefan screeched in pain "Run Elena-"but she was grabbed around her waist and Klaus threw her against the wall. Ava crumpled, the blond blinked feeling dizzy, she heard Elena's screaming and then nothing.

"You've been in my way too many times tonight Ava-"Klaus snarled kneeling down in front of her. But the fairy was barely paying attention to him; she was cringing at the sound of Elena's scream.

"Please" Ava whispered feeling Klaus over her "stop him-"

"I really don't want to" Klaus smirked

"Do it" Ava snapped and gasped when his hand clamped down around her throat, he brought his face close to hers.

"And I've warned you before about telling me what do to" he growled

"Please stop him"

"Very well, ripper" he looked over his shoulder to see Stefan's head perking up "take the doppelganger to the hospital and compel the staff." He stood up and procured a vial from his pocket he had a hunch and he's going to follow through with it.


"Well the verdicts in" Klaus declared walking into the lab where Tyler, Caroline and Rebekah were. The blond vampire looked up and gaped at the sight of the fairy who was in Klaus's vice like grip "the Original witch says the doppelganger should be dead"

"That means we can kill her?" Rebekah asked excited by the notion.

"No I'm fairly certain it means the opposite" Klaus shook his head, holding up a vial of Elena's blood

"What?" Caroline asked but gasped when the female Original held her back, just then Bonnie and Matt appeared in the doorway

"What's going on?" Bonnie asked

"Klaus is going through with some hunch" Ava replied and shook her head, god her mind was getting clouded.

Klaus held out the vial to Tyler "Elena's blood drink it" he instructed

"No" Caroline yelled

Matt went to rush forward to stop him, but Bonnie grabbed his arm and shook her head, knowing that no way in hell would Matt match up to Klaus.

"No, no Tyler don't-"Caroline called out

"He dies anyway if he doesn't love" Klaus waved the scarlet liquid beneath Tyler's nose. "Drink it" he instructed. Tyler snatched it out and took a sip of Elena's blood and spat it out almost immediately

"It's-I feel like I'm on fire" he clawed at his throat and fell off of the desk

"It's not working" Rebekah drawled as the others watched on stunned, she grunted when Caroline elbowed her so she held her tighter.

"Face it Klaus you're not meant to have hybrids" Ava sniped, Klaus's eyes wondered over to her and chuckled

"Right…fairy blood is one of the rarest liquid. I knew it wouldn't be easy give me your hand-"

"Go to hell-"Ava snapped.

Klaus snarled he was getting tired from the blond teen's constant reluctance to do anything he says "Do not cross me-"

"Why?" Ava shouted "you keep saying that what are you going to do-"she was cut off when Klaus blurred behind her and placed the teen in a choke hold.

"Ava-"Bonnie shouted they all gasped when Klaus bit down on his own wrist and shoved it against her lips "No don't-"the witch shouted as Ava was forced to swallow.

Ava spluttered and felt the liquid sliding down her throat. Klaus let her go making the teen stumble forward, he grabbed her wrist and slammed her against the wall. Matt scowled and Caroline snarled

"Now love you want some more?"

Ava swallowed beads of sweat formed on her temple, Klaus's blood was crawling in her veins, she felt sullied but at the same time she just wanted more

"Ava don't-"Bonnie shouted "don't give in-"she could see that the teen was tempted.

Ava blinked and gasped her lips were marred with blood. "Come on Ava you know you want to-"he cooed into her ear. Caroline gaped at the scene "Come on Ava, just let yourself go…have at it-"Ava fought the urge and groaned

"NO" she screamed and shoved him back, a white light erupted from her palm sending the hybrid flying back. Matt's eyes widened seeing that.

Klaus growled "I'VE HAD ENOUGH" he roared and blurred forward slamming the fairy hard against the wall, so Ava's head bounced against the concrete. He grabbed her face looking her directly in the eyes. She had enough blood in her system now for him to carry out the next part of his plans "ENOUGH AVA, STOP FIGHTING. STOP IT. STOP CARING JUST STOP EVERYTHING" he roared, much like the way he shouted at Stefan. "JUST TURN IT ALL OFF"

Ava gasped and something clicked in her mind the itchiness and tremble, seems to have vanished. Bonnie's eyes widened seeing the visible change in the fairy's demeanor something was gone.

"Just listen to me" Klaus whispered into her ear.

The fairy's head bowed and the hybrid used his index finger to lift her chin. Matt's jaw dropped, blood marred Ava's lips but what got him was that her usually milky eyes were darker she didn't look like herself at all.

"You compelled her…but she can't be-"Bonnie shook her head

"Oh but when she's got enough blood from me so she can be." Klaus smirked "she will do everything I say now right love?"

Ava's whole being radiated darkness, the witch could tell this was something unnatural, after all a fairy shouldn't be manipulated like this

"What'd do you mean she'd do anything you say?" Matt swallowed

Klaus's lips upturned into a knowing smile "Attack Ava" they all took a step back, and within a second everyone par Klaus and Rebekah was on their knees screaming in pain as they felt their heads could explode. "That's enough now" he instructed. As soon as those words came out of his mouth, Ava's assault stopped. Bonnie gasped and looked up wide-eye.

"What did you do?"

"I fixed her. Same way I fixed Stefan" Klaus smirked, Caroline brows furrowed when Ava didn't even flinch when the Original kissed her cheek "now give me your hand" without a fight, the fairy held out her hand to the hybrid. She didn't even winced when Klaus sliced into her palm.

Klaus's hand clenched around hers and squeezed It hard causing a drop of her blood to land in the vial. He placed his thumb over it and shook it.

Ava blinked as Klaus walked back over to Tyler, "Now Elena's and a drop of Ava's blood drink it" he ordered.

Tyler gritted his teeth and snatched the vial of blood and downed it, he gasped and cried out in pain and fell to the floor bringing down the tray of beakers, the glass shattered around him. Bonnie and Matt froze whilst Caroline tried to get out of Rebekah's hold but couldn't. Tyler roared in pain and writhed on the floor. His head snapped up revealing golden orbs. He was now a hybrid

"It worked" Klaus grinned "now let's get out of here"


Elena's eyes slowly opened she could the sound of a monitor beeping. "Where am I?" she groaned as a nurse came over to her.

"In the hospital sweetie" the old lady replied "both of you suffered through a terrible ordeal"

Elena frowned and her eyes flickered over to the bed next to her. She gasped seeing Ava there "Ava-"the fairy was out cold and like Elena she was in the same position "We have to get out of here-"

"Not an option" Klaus smirked entering the room, "wake that one up" he nodded towards Ava. The compelled nurse complied and scurried over to the fairy.

"What-what-"

"Yours and Ava's blood turned out to be the answer. Ironic huh?" he chuckled; Elena felt a bubble of hate. Her eyes snapped over to the blond hearing her waking up.

The hybrid turned around and pulled the drip out of her. "Come Ava-"he instructed. The doppelganger eyes widened when Ava without fault trailed after the hybrid

"No Ava help me" Elena cried out and was surprised when Ava didn't spare her a glance, she looked dead no emotion or anything on her face "Ava-"

"Oh she won't listen to you now" Klaus said in a sing song voice, and twirled a finger around her lock of hair.

"What did you do?" Elena asked her

"Oh I improved her" he winked "Now Mrs Douglas why don't you put Elena to sleep, she needs plenty of rest"

"No-"the doppelganger attempted to get out of bed but the nurse pushed her down "Ava please help-"

"Come Ava" Ava turned on her heel and followed the hybrid out.

She felt the cool breeze against her skin as they entered the parking lot, Rebekah sat atop the bonnet of a car her legs were crossed.

"So the doppelganger isn't the problem, her blood along with the fairy's is the solution" she drawled,

"Hmm it makes sense from her perspective it was her failsafe if I ever broke the hybrid's curse." Klaus murmured pacing in front of the petite teen. The blond was perfectly still

"The doppelganger had to die for me to break the curse, but if she's dead-"

"Then you couldn't use her blood to sire yourself a new species" Rebekah uttered "and the fairy's blood?"

"Well I doubt that the witch I would be able to claim a fae. Now I've got one" Klaus grinned "now I won't have to be alone for all eternity"

"Is that what this is?" Rebekah asked "you just don't want to be alone"

Klaus's lips pulled into a frown he grabbed the fairy by the hand and pulled her close. "Ava why don't you go to the truck, there's a special blood bag in there. Go and drink it"

Rebekah watched as the fairy dutifully went off to find the blood bag. "She's…"

"In control" Klaus shrugged his shoulders "what I want is to take my fairy and the doppelganger as well as my hybrid, and get out of this one pony town." He snapped "Why don't you get the truck. I'll get the doppelganger" he uttered. Rebekah slid off of the bonnet and strolled off, passing Ava on the way. In the fairy's hands she was holding on to the bag that contained Klaus's blood. It unnerved the Original slightly to see the blank look on Ava's face.

Klaus smirked seeing the fairy coming bag, she was vigorously sucking on the blood bag. But the smirk on his face slid off he turned around coming face to face with Damon.

"So you finally decided to show up to the party?" Klaus drawled

"What-where is she?"

"Elena is making a donation to a greater cause, but I think you're asking about my fairy. Well she's right here" Klaus stepped aside revealing the petite teen at the other end of the parking lot, Damon's eyes widened seeing the fairy sucking down on a blood bag "What did you?" Damon growled

"I made her better" Klaus smirked

"No-"he stormed towards the fairy but the hybrid threw him side so Damon was sent crashing into the car. But he used his vamp speed to get back up, he was about to head towards Ava but couldn't as Klaus once again stepped in his path "I can' let you interfere-"

"Then you'd have to kill me" Damon sneered his eyes drifted over to Ava.

"I'd love to kill you. But I made a pledge to your brother and Ava" Klaus drawled pushing him back "but unlike them I keep my word. Although thinking about it now, they probably don't care that much-"with that he slammed Damon against the car holding him down. He brought his hand about to plunge it into Damon's chest about to rip his heart out.

"Don't you want to know about your friend Mikael?" Damon shouted it did the trick since Klaus froze

"What do you know about Mikael?"

"Just that he knows you're here" Damon smirked, Ava dropped the empty blood bag into the ground

"You're bluffing" Klaus growled

"Katherine and I found him, consider him our leverage"

Fury tore through the hybrid, he threw Damon aside and blurred towards the blond, blood coated her lips, Klaus cupped her face "For now Ava stay in Mystic Falls" he instructed. She nodded and she felt a breeze brush over her and he was gone.

Damon looked up and shot over to Ava, he cupped her face "Ava" he swallowed, god he missed her so much, he wiped his thumb across her lip wanting to get rid of the blood. "I-"

"Elena is inside" she said in monotone.

"What?"

"Thought you should know. I'm going home" she turned on her heel and left a shocked vampire behind.

"Aren't you going to help-"Damon called after her she paused mid step

"No why should I?" she smirked and walked down the dark road.


Elena was now sitting on an armchair with a blanket around her shoulders; she looked up when Damon entered the parlour.

"Ava?"

"Is showering" he frowned and poured her and himself a drink, he handed it over to Elena "it'll help you forget" he uttered and took a large gulp of his own beverage. "It's strong" he added. Elena nodded this was just what she needed "I can help you forget too"

Elena violently shook her head "No I need to remember, he nodded and held out her necklace "here"

Elena bit her bottom lip "He's really gone this time, I watched it happened. After everything and Ava-"

"What happened to her?"

"Klaus…I…Bonnie called. She said it's like Ava is under Klaus's compulsion. She'd do anything he wants Damon. The way Bonnie described it was like…Ava flipped the switch. She doesn't care anymore" Elena explained, she lost the two people she loved the most. Her boyfriend and the girl she considered a sister. "Where were you Damon? You could have helped-"

Damon downed the rest of his drink, regret filled him. if he hadn't left with Katherine then maybe this wouldn't have happened to Ava.

"I shouldn't have left" Damon murmured.

"Well isn't this cosy?" Stefan smirked leaning against the doorframe; both Damon and Elena could see the change

"What are you doing here brother?" the raven head vampire stood up,

Stefan frowned "Well last I checked I lived here" he walked over to the liquor and poured himself a drink. "Klaus is gone, he asked me to keep watch on you-"he pointed at Elena "and an eye on his fairy-"Damon growled at that.

"Ava isn't his-"

"Yes but she isn't yours. Isn't that right Ava?" Elena's head snapped over to the doorway and saw Ava there.

"Seems that way huh?" she drawled. Damon blinked

"From now on the both of them are under my protection" Stefan stated and took a sip, before he poured another glass of the amber liquid. "Here ya go Ava, I think we need it don't you?" he pressed the drink into her hands before he left the room.

"Goodnight" Ava murmured and turned on her heel, Damon however wasn't going to let her go that easy and blurred in front of her.

"Ava snap out of it" he grabbed her by her upper-arms "this isn't you"

"Let go Damon or I won't be so friendly" Ava scowled, Elena's eyes darted between the couple, it was like Ava was a completely different person.

"What are you going to do?" Damon asked "you can't hurt me-"

"Wanna bet?" she smirked and concentrated. The vampire staggered back and clutched his head in pain.

"Ava stop it" Elena shouted jumping on to her feet.

"Hmm…I don't feel like stopping" Ava drawled "but he is giving me a headache so I guess so" with that her assault stopped.

"Ava please snap out of it" Damon held her face, he swore he saw something flashing in her eyes but it quickly vanished "I love you and I know you can come on through."

Much to Damon's devastation, the fairy looked utterly confused at what he said "I love you?" she scoffed "good for you. Now if you don't I should get to sleep. Long day and all that what with school" Ava smirked and left.

Damon took a step back and dropped his hands to his side "What happened to her?" he uttered.

Elena sniffed "He broke her" she replied wiping her eyes.

Damon hatred for the Original hybrid doubled. He vowed to fix the fairy even if was the last thing he'd do. Damon wouldn't be giving up on Ava he was going to get his fairy back.
