"Wake up-"Ava groaned feeling someone prodding her. She scrunched up her nose "Ava wake up-"
"Noooo" she whined and snuggled into the warm body besides her. There was a mass of blankets and quilts atop her.
"Ava-"Stefan blinked and looked down, he and Ava had ended up falling asleep on the couch he had woken up a couple of hours ago and grabbed some blankets for them. "It's…ten in the morning-"he groaned.
"Shush…no talking Steffie-"Ava muttered, Stefan brows furrowed together when he felt something wet on his chest.
"Aww AVA-"he realised that blond had ended up drooling on him "You drooled on me-"
"You're hot apparently of course lots of people drooled" the fairy mumbled already going back to sleep.
Stefan rolled his eyes and groaned even louder, seeing that within the drool there was marshmallow mixed into it. "Not that type of drooling…now get up. I'll get some breakfast-"he attempted to move but was trapped by the mounds of blanket, plus it didn't help that Ava seemed to be using him as her personal cuddle toy.
"Ava move please-"he grunted and swore "Damn how strong are you Ava?" he muttered and wriggled out of her grip, he managed it and went to get up, but he snagged on a blanket. The fairy had fallen back to sleep, Stefan tugged on the blanket and saw that was stuck under Ava, he sighed and with a firm and final tug he pulled hard.
"Oh-"he winced
"STEFAN! YOU'RE SUCH A BITCH-"Ava shrieked the vampire had sent her careening towards the hardwood floor.
"Now Ava-"
"You better run" the fairy scrambled on to her feet, seeing the expression on her face Stefan turned on his heel and ran. Sure he can handle threatening Originals, vampires and hybrids. But when it came to a pissed off fairy he knew to run.
Ava sighed and exited the shower, Stefan ended up having leaving since he had to go and check up on Bonnie and the coffin. She towel dried her wet hair and then proceeded to rummage through her closet wanting to find something casual to wear. She grabbed the labels that was attached to her clothes, and opted to wear a pair of shorts and a random top, since she was expecting to spend a casual day around the house. She slipped on her clothes as well as a pair of flats. Ava skipped down the stairs and headed into the kitchen. Stefan had told her that he had made her breakfast. The fairy sniffed the air and moved over to her dining table, she sat down in the wooden, a wide smile on her face when she touched a warm bowl. She lifted the spoon and swallowed the smile on her face immediately disappeared and a look of revulsion replaced it.
"Eww…argh-"she gagged and spat out as much as she could "all the freaking time porridge….bloody Stefan" she grouched. Ava stood up and dumped the bowl in the sink. She huffed, thinking what she could eat…pop-tarts would work. With a nod she moved over to her cupboards and proceeded to rummage through it.
She huffed there was no pop-tarts at all "What the-"she muttered and frowned. Where did they all go? She thought…she did have some the night before…and then some more after Damon left…and "Oh crap, I ate them all…this calls for drastic measures" she declared.
Ava licked her lips, she would have to go to the Gilbert house, but she doubt Elena or Alaric would hand them over so easily. Some rubbish about sugar being bad in the morning…Ava would have to be stealthy.
The fairy exited the house through the back door and walked down her garden; she hopped over the fence and scurried up the Gilbert pathway. Ava grinned as she made it to the backdoor. She grabbed the doorknob and swore. It was locked
"Oh come on" she exclaimed "they leave their front door unlocked but when it comes to the back…noo lets lock it" she let out a puff of air. Now what was she going to do? Ava bit her bottom lip, her milky green orbs lit up. The kitchen window, she knew for a fact that would be open, Elena always left that open.
Ava trailed her hand across the wall and felt the outline of the window, it was wide open. So scrambled up the wall and pushed herself through the window that was located above the sink. Ava stuck one foot in and rolled her eyes when she got her foot in the sink. She managed to get the other leg over
"Terrific" she grinned, her moment of brilliance when she slipped off the counter and hit the floor. Ava jumped up and smoothed down her clothes and shook her head, pretending as if nothing happened. Without further ado she ran into the Gilbert pantry and managed to locate several boxes of pop tarts. She loaded her arms, not wanting to try and bumble around with the backdoor she opted to go out. Ava sneakily opened the front door and as quiet as possible shut it behind her.
"Ava what are you doing?" Elena asked, she, Alaric and the Sheriff were all watching the teen with bemused expressions.
Ava yelped and dropped the boxes of pop tarts. "What the hell?" she shrieked clutching her heaving chest. "You-don't-can't do that-"
"This is our porch" Alaric exclaimed "and what are you doing? Stealing our food?" he asked.
"Duh…Stefan made shitty porridge" Ava said as if that was all the answer that they needed. "And I needed an urgent refuel of…"
"Pop tarts?" Elena snorted; the fairy nodded and ripped open the box "How did you get in anyway?"
"I do what I always do" Ava shrugged and groaned feeling the treat sliding down her throat. "I broke in" she grinned.
"And is this a usual thing?" Sheriff Forbes asked, Ava's eyes widened crap she thought why the hell didn't she pull up the barriers in her mind? Ergh.
"Ummm….well….no?" Ava uttered "Pop-tart?" she offered.
Elena shook her head "It doesn't matter about that, but why are you here Sheriff?"
Sheriff Forbes cleared her throat and Ava inched forward munching on the treat, she was here and truth was that the petite blond was nosy.
"This is an unconventional conversation we're about to have" Sheriff Forbes uttered peaking Ava's interest "I'm about to have so I'll hope you'll protect me on it"
"Of course" Alaric said instantly
"I assume you guys heard that our medical examiner was murdered the night of the Wickery Bridge fundraiser"
"Yeah" Alaric nodded "I heard about that, Brian Walters why?"
Ava frowned, she hadn't heard about that but then again she was hardly speaking to her friends at that time.
"We've been investigating, someone drove this stake through his heart" Sheriff Forbes raised the plastic back so Elena and Alaric could see it.
"A stake through his heart?" Ava swallowed and licked her lips "but he wasn't a vampire was he?"
"No…he was human" the blond haired woman replied, Alaric took the bag off of him and frowned seeing the weapon that was used.
"It's one of ours" the hunter exclaimed, the fairy pulled out another pop-tart, and broke the tense atmosphere by taking a loud bite. Ava blushed feeling their stairs but didn't stop eating. "It's one of the sets from your parents lake house" Elena's lake house? How did someone used that as a murder weapon? The fairy thought.
"That's why I'm here" Sheriff Forbes announced "I haven't told anyone but forensics ran it for prints. And found only one clean set. Yours Elena" she uttered.
Ava's jaw dropped "No freaking way…"she let out a low whistle "I know we had a fight Elena, but resorting to murder-"the doppelganger slapped her upside the head. "Ok…I'm guessing that you didn't kill him." She mumbled and turned on her heel heading back into the Gilbert house.
Ava was sitting on the wooden counter top, she had moved on from pop-tarts to a bowlful of chips.
"So you're a prime suspect in a murder investigation?" Damon said, he was on speaker phone. The blond hadn't actually spoken to the elder Salvatore since last night.
"She doesn't think it's me" Elena said "she's just trying to find out why someone used my family weapons to kill a Council member." She explained. Alaric returned with his duffle bag that was stuffed full of weapon and set it down besides Ava.
"….Well why don't you ask Ric if he's dirty little doctor had access to his weapons?" Damon's voice rang through the quiet kitchen.
"You're on speaker phone dick-"Alaric snapped causing Ava to snort.
"Shame-"the fairy pitched in "I'm not the only one who labelled you as a dick-"
"I've got a huge one, want to feel Ava-"Damon purred.
"Speaker phone you prick" Ava said she felt her cheeks heating up, she shoved a handful of chips into her mouth. "Get back to the actual topic at hand-"she uttered accidentally spraying the hunter in the face, he slapped her gently upside the head.
"….Right I'm just saying the first suspect is usually the right one…"the raven head vampire uttered.
"Brian Walters was killed days ago I didn't show Meredith this stuff last night." Alaric argued. "Ava did you hear-"
Ava shook her head "Nope…I didn't hear her thoughts at all, since I didn't even have a reason" she uttered.
Elena pulled her hair out its pony tail "It's not Meredith" she pitched in.
"Yeah but Brian Walters was her ex-boyfriend, and Ric saw them fighting" Damon stated, Ava frowned wondering where he was. She could hear birds chirping in the background.
"It's not Meredith…"Elena snapped "I refused to believe that you're luck with women is that tragic."
Ava wasn't so sure though…she could picture this happening. "Well who else knows about your secret slayer sash?"
"A dozen" Alaric murmured "I've got weapons everywhere, here, the school, my loft, your car even Ava's house." Ava blinked at that, this was new information.
"It's Klaus it has to be he's just screwing with us-"Damon drawled.
Ava tutted "No…he's too psychotic about his coffins…I don't think its him" she stated.
"Of course you wouldn't" Damon sniped.
Ava frowned "What's that supposed to mean?" she snapped her nails dug into the wooden countertop.
"Oh you know exactly what it me-"
"Ok" Elena intervened not wanting an argument to break out between the fairy and the vampire. "What if it was Stefan? He was acting crazy that night-"
"Not him" Ava argued "well…he could be….but we did sleep with each other last night and he didn't mention anything-"she rolled her eyes hearing the room grow silent.
"YOU WHAT? YOU SLEPT WITH STEFAN?" Damon shouted. Elena rolled her eyes and shook her head.
Ava frowned in confusion and then burst out into laughter "You thought…I and Stefan….sex-"she said in between giggles. "You made a funny-"she snorted.
"I don't have time for this" Damon uttered "I've got to go"
"Where are you?" Alaric asked
"Tea with an old friend" the vampire said before hanging up.
Ava placed the empty bowl on the countertop. She jumped off of the table "Well this has been enlightening but-"Alaric grabbed the scruff of her top, pulling the fairy back.
"Where are you going?" he asked and cocked an eyebrow seeing the state of the petite blond teen's face, she had crumbs and sauce all around her mouth. Elena threw him a washcloth and he then started to wipe the mess off.
"Ric-"Ava whined loudly wriggling in his hold. "God-"she squeaked when he wiped her face. "Stop-"
"Hey you're the dirty one here" Alaric chuckled, Ava opened her mouth about to give a retort but stopped when she heard a 'click' and groaned. "Elena took a picture didn't she?" she pouted.
"Yep" Alaric grinned.
Ava sighed "Well bitches I'll catch ya later" she exclaimed and waltzed off.
"Where are you going?" Elena called after her.
"Going to set fire to Mr Browns bins-"
"AVA-"
"Kidding." They heard her cackle and then a thump and a loud 'Ow'. Alaric shook his head and went to take inventory of his weapons, whilst Elena poked her head out of the hallway.
"How is she?" the history teacher asked.
"Erm…she's still on the floor…"Elena replied from her spot against the doorway "still on the floor….and now she's up. Ava?"
"I'm cool" Ava yelled "Bye bitches." Both Alaric and Elena shook their heads, not all effected by Ava's name for them.
Ava chewed a red vine, Stefan was besides her. "Seriously? You've got Gatsby here?" the vampire asked. It was mid-afternoon and the pair was lounging around in the old Xenia house.
"Yep" the fairy exclaimed "the brail version Gran got it for me" she answered. "I think there's a few in that box" she said.
Stefan cocked an eyebrow and proceeded to go through the wicker basket that was placed besides the couch. And saw that there were piles and piles of books. The vampire couldn't help but prefer this place to the Boarding House; this place was cosy, small and inviting and had a certain charm about it.
Whereas the grand house that they had been staying in before seemed more formal, he looked up hearing a rustling and rolled his eyes when he witnessed Ava turning the whole packet of red vines upside down.
"Ava its finished" he murmured.
"Damn…hmm I fancy some cotton candy you? And we could watch a movie…you know what I mean." Ava uttered and was about to get up, but the vampire pulled her back down.
"No…you have way too much sugar" Stefan said ignoring the look on her face. "So-"
"By any chance you haven't killed a medical examiner have ya?" Ava asked casually placing her feet on the coffee table.
Stefan sighed "No I haven't now-"
"Chill man" Ava murmured "you said you didn't do it and I believe you" she grinned "Now let's put on Indiana Jones-"
Stefan sighed "We've watched that last night-"
"Dude that was part one, we've got two more" she declared. But before she could get shove the DVD into the player. The door opened and in blurred in Damon.
"So this is cosy" Damon uttered, his heart clenching at the sight of Ava here with Stefan…he missed that. Being with them. But for now he pushed that to the back of his mind.
"Damon? I thought I told you-"
"Yeah…ssh Ava" the raven head uttered "I've brought these for you" he threw a couple of formal shirts at Stefan. "And Ava I'm sure there are more than a few dresses in that closet of yours. Now go get ready" he ordered.
"Erm…no?" the fairy was very confused.
"Wear the dark shirt Stefan makes you more villainous" Damon smirked
"What's going on?" Stefan got onto his feet. Ava sighed and collapsed back down on to the couch.
"We're all attending a dinner party" Damon announced
Ava let out a whine "Another dinner party? Every freaking one turns into a disaster" she hummed. "I'm not going-"she stated.
"Yes you are…now come on princess move your perky ass" Damon ordered. "We're all going to a dinner party including you." Truth was the raven head vampire didn't like the thought of Ava being in her own for the night, especially with a serial killer on the loose.
"What's the point of the dinner party?" Ava questioned.
"Well Stefan is going to have a sit down with Klaus…so we can give witchy and mommy witch some time to blow the lid off of the coffin" he explained, he didn't added on that they were going to get some added help from Ava's favourite Original.
"So we're stalling?" Ava asked.
"Yep…now move your ass princess" Damon drawled, he rolled his eyes when the petite blond didn't move an inch. So he did something himself. Ava squealed when he easily scooped her up and threw her onto his shoulder.
"Damon-"Ava shouted "Ass, dick…such a fucking pick-"she yelped when he slapped her bottom.
"Naughty fairy-"he grinned and walked down the hallway to Ava's room.
"STEFAN!" she screeched and was dumped on the bed, Damon placed his hands on her shoulders to make sure she didn't fall off. "Damon-"she went to hit him but he grabbed her wrist.
"No way sweetheart. Just do this…I already have a grumpy Stefan to deal-"
"Well you've got a pissed fairy" she huffed. "Fine…I'll go-"
"Great since you've got someone waiting for you there besides Klaus" Damon frowned naming the hybrid. It was because of him, that he and Ava was on rocky grounds.
"Whatever" she muttered.
"Love the enthusiasm honey. Now wear something nice" he dropped a kiss on her cheek and blurred off to deal with his brother.
Ava sighed and flopped down onto her bed, her mind wondered to what Abbey had told her the other day. She shook it off, if she lingered on that then she'll never get ready. So with that thought in mind she jumped off of the bed and headed towards her closet.
She trailed her hand over the labels and opted to wear a knee length pleat dress. Ava slipped on the dress and attempted to brush her hair, there was a knock on the door and it swung open.
"Hey-"Damon stopped and stared at the sight, he swallowed at the sight of Ava's flawless creamy back. He saw the lacy strap of her bra. "Ava-"he snorted seeing her struggling. "Trouble with your hair princess?"
"No" Ava scowled and tugged hard "oww-"
"Ok, cool it princess the way you're going you're going to rip your hair from you scalp" the vampire uttered. "Let me-"
"I can do this-"Ava said stubbornly.
Damon grinned "Of course you do princess, but the rate you're going there'll be no dinner party. Just let me-"he pulled the brush away from her. And Ava closed her eyes feeling the melodic touch against her scalp. He plucked jewelled clip from her jewellery box and pinned her curls back. "You look better with your hair away from your face." Damon whispered, his lips lingered on her ear. Her breath hitched, when she felt his callous fingers against her smooth back. He buttoned up the back of her dress.
"Damon stop-"Ava murmured getting onto her feet and taking a step back so the small of her back hit the edge of her vanity,
"Stop what?" he asked moving closer to her, she felt his breath washed over her face.
"This" Ava snapped
"Why? I'm just-"
"You're trying to seduce me…ass. I told you to back off and sort yourself at first" the fairy uttered. Damon's jaw clenched "Fine…your rules" he murmured, and brushed aside a curl. "You do look beautiful by the way" he said sincerely. "I'll be waiting downstairs."
When she heard Damon leave, she leant heavily against the vanity table. "Bloody sexy vampire" she muttered under her breath. And grabbed her shoes running out of the room.
Ava sighed; she was sitting in the back of Damon's car. She felt the car coming to a stop they were here.
"Come on" Damon pushed his seat forward and helped the fairy out of the car. He frowned when she immediately let go "Ava-"
"Come on then" Stefan stepped in between the pair, he sent his brother a look silently telling him to give her some space. He linked his arm with hers, and guided her to the side door of the mansion.
"So how does it look?" Ava asked
"Three steps up" he informed her.
"It's huge" Damon drawled as they arrived at the door he rung the bell, and both he and Stefan took a step back knowing the fairy may need some space for this reunion.
The door swung open, Elijah couldn't help but smile seeing the familiar fairy. "Niklaus our guests have arrived."
Neither Salvatores were disappointed by Ava's reaction, the fairy's jaw dropped and her eyes bugged out.
"Holy shit on a stick" Ava exclaimed "Elijah?"
"Hello Miss X-"he grunted when the petite teen launched herself at him in a tight hug. "Ava-"
"I missed you so much. You're my favourite Original. Klaus was a dick….Rebekah was bitchy…and so much crap went down whilst you was dead. It's weird to say that right? You was dead and…I love you-"
"What?"
"What?"
"Ha-"
Damon and Klaus said in unison both with a bite in their voice whilst Stefan snickered at the expression on Elijah's face.
"Oh shut up" Ava huffed, "he's got the best accent…and Elijah is epic-"she could have swooned when his body shook as he let out a chuckle. Elijah embraced her causing both Klaus and Damon to growl.
"I missed you to Ava" he murmured.
"Can we get on with this?" Damon snapped. Stefan rolled his eyes when it looked like Ava wasn't going to let go any time soon. The dark haired Original managed to get out of her grasp and nodded towards the Salvatores.
"Damon, Stefan and the lovely Ava." Klaus announced bringing their attention to him. Stefan and Damon looked over the fancy set up; this was a formal dinner party. "Elijah tells me you seek an audience, very bold"
"Erm…I didn't seek an audience" the fairy muttered.
Klaus smirked "Fair enough love, point taken. Let's all discuss the terms of our deal like civilised people shall we?" he gestured towards the table.
"This is going to be anything but civilised" Ava mumbled under her breath,
"It's better to indulge him" Elijah uttered and walked over to the table. He grasped Ava's hand and guided her down the steps.
"I didn't come here to eat Klaus" Stefan drawled "in fact I didn't want to come here at all. But I was told I had to come because you would hear us out"
"Hmm we could sit and eat or I could reach down your throats-"he was aiming this statement at Stefan and Damon "and pull out your insides. The choice is yours"
Ava licked her lips and took a step forward "Well…I'm all the for the latter one" she piped up.
"See she's the smart one." Klaus grinned. Damon glared at him and clenched his fists.
Elijah moved forward and guided Ava towards a seat, Stefan and Damon exchanged looks and also moved towards the table.
Ava chewed the meat and swallowed, she then took a forkful of vegtables tasting sprouts…she hated them. She attempted to discreetly spit it out but it didn't work at all.
"Ava-"
"What?" she asked innocently, Stefan shook his head "So Elijah how's it like being dead?" she asked curiously.
"Hmm…for an Original it's like going into a deep sleep" he replied. She could hear their cutlery hitting their plates.
"Interesting…you know I was sitting on you-"there was a moment of resounding silence. The vampires and hybrid all stared at her she blushed "Erm…I was on your coffin. I didn't do anything on it…I just-"she floundered for words. "Oh look a pixie and wine let's have more of that" she declared.
Ava lifted up her wine glass and the waitress came over to refill it.
"Mine as well" Damon held up his glass.
"Ava you're underage" Stefan uttered.
Ava snorted "Drinking advice from you Stef?" this caused Klaus's lips to twitch in amusement.
"She does have a point-"
"Ok no" Ava rounded on the hybrid "You…you're…you shush-"and then shoved a forkful of meat into her mouth.
"Thank you love" Damon grinned at the compelled waitress and then eyed the fairy, perhaps two glasses of wines were a bit much. It was no secret that the petite teen was a lightweight. She was now on her third glass.
"You lost your appetite" Klaus commented seeing that Stefan had hardly touched his food. He knew it wasn't bad, since Ava was nearly done.
"Eat" Damon instructed "I thought we agreed we'd leave the grumpy Stefan at home"
"Stefan just eat…Klaus and Damon will be annoying otherwise" Ava whispered to the vampire beside her. The youngest Salvatore knew that she was right so picked up his cutlery.
"That's the spirit" Klaus jeered.
There was a moment of silence, Ava took a sip of her wine, she swallowed the fruity beverage. "Isn't this nice? The five of us such a treat. Is this what you had in mind when you un-daggered my brother?"
"Well I knew how you felt about him, I figured the more the merrier" Damon took a bite of his meat. Ava's brows furrowed, he sounded like he knew something that the others did not.
"Elijah and I had our fair share of quarrels over the centuries-"Klaus said, Ava snorted, was it even possible not to have quarrels if you had been around that long? She thought "but we always make it through."
Ava chewed and swallowed, for a dick of a hybrid he did have good food. "Like you and Rebekah?" Stefan smirked when Klaus glared at him. "Where is she by the way?"
"Erm…she's got a dagger to the back-"
"Rhetorical question Ava" Stefan uttered. "But Ava is right though isn't she? Last I check she was still daggered because you were afraid to face her." He took a sip of his wine.
"If you're referring to the fact that Rebekah knows that I killed our mother I've already come clean to Elijah" Klaus uttered.
"Hey Stef remember when you killed dad might want to dial down the judgement till deserts" Damon cut in.
Ava shook her head "Damn…"she whistled "You guys have some proper messed up family issues. And I thought my Gran was bat shit crazy" she shook her head, causing her curls to come forward.
"We're here to make a deal Damon, doesn't mean we have to kiss his ass for seven courses" Stefan said. Ava quirked an eyebrow, she was getting the feeling that this evening would no doubt go downhill fast.
"No I rather just have Ava to kiss my ass-"Ava balked and slammed her fork down hard. She winced when she got the wrong vampire.
"Oww…Ava-"Stefan growled pulling out he fork from the back of his hand.
"Sorry" the blond muttered "You're a dick Klaus-"she sniped. Klaus waved over one of the waitress, they handed Ava another fork.
"Ok" Damon intervened, he could see that the mood was going south "let's calm it, we have the rest of the night so let's pace ourselves."
They had now moved on, the plates were cleared away and Ava was helping herself to desert, damn she thought this chocolate cake was scrumptious, the vampires and hybrid opted to skip out on this.
The only sound that could be heard was Ava's spoon tapping against the plate. "Stefan where's the lovely Elena?" Elijah asked, Ava winced now that was a touchy topic.
"I don't know" Stefan replied, causing Klaus to let out a chuckle.
Ava rolled her milky green orbs "So mature Klaus, giggling like a school girl-"this made Damon guffaw loudly into his wine.
"That wasn't a giggle" Klaus snarled "it was a manly chuckle, anyway Elijah you've missed so much. There's so much trouble in paradise, for them. It'll be too long to explain-"
"No" the fairy cut in "not too bad. I think Elijah can keep up. Ready sexy-I mean Elijah?" she asked.
Elijah rested his chin on the palm of his hand "Oh yes I am." Damon, Stefan and Klaus leant back as the fairy opened her mouth.
"Alright here goes" Ava started placing her fork on the plate "after you made that bitchy move of betraying us…which turned out to be a good thing, because if you didn't save Klaus well Damon would be dead. Since he got bitten by a werewolf. So Klaus's blood was the cure, he being the prat of a man he is, would only give it to us if me and Stefan left Mystic Falls with him. Which we did, Stefan killed loads of people I drank a lot of Klaus's blood."
"We came back to Mystic Falls, where Klaus found out Elena being alive, ergo no more hybrids. But that was total crap since Elena and my blood was needed to make hybrids. Klaus got pissed and crazy…the blood made me loopy and become sired to Klaus, where he turned mine and Stefan's emotions off. We turned into major bitches…there was a plan to take down Klaus at homecoming."
"Turns out Klaus was one step ahead, if he died Damon would be taken down. So me and Stefan switched the plan, we got labelled as traitors…then something about…a bridge and Elena. He tried to turn her…and Damon's got trust issues he thinks I fancy Klaus. End of…now is there any more cake?" Ava asked in one breath.
Stefan shook his head, and Elijah processed the information that was sprouted out of the petite teen's mouth.
"Here's more cake love" Klaus drawled and placed it in front of her. She dug in. "So I'm guessing Elena's off of the topic list?"
"Got that right" Stefan glared at the hybrid.
Klaus nodded but then shook his head "It's funny the Petrova doppelganger the allure is still so strong. Not to mention the Xenia woman…they're still so strong." This peaked Ava's interest, he hardly knew about her ancestry line, it was always just her and her gran. "What do you say brother? Should we tell them about the Originator of the Petrova line"
"Why should we discuss matters that long since resolve?" Elijah placed his napkin on the table.
"Well given the affection between, Katerina, Elena and Ava I think they may be curious about these particular lines." Klaus drawled.
"Well spill then" Ava leant forward in her seat wanting to the story. She took another chunk out of her cake.
"Let's start with the Petrova line" Elijah murmured "when our family first settled here there was a girl named Tatia, she was an exquisite beauty…every boy of age desired to be her suitor even though she had a child by another man-"
"Petrova women spread their legs easily" Ava muttered causing Damon to choke on his wine.
"-and none loved her more than Niklaus…at first." Elijah carried on.
"Oh I say there was one who loved her just as much" Klaus butted in
"Wait-"Stefan interrupted his eyes darting between the brothers "So you both loved the same girl?"
"Damn…this place does repeat history, first it was them and this Tatia, and then you and Damon with Katherine…kind of like a soap opera" Ava murmured.
Elijah nodded "That's how it started, I and Klaus came to blows at sometimes concerning Tatia, but then Alvina Xenia later on came to settle here. Klaus moved on…but there was another who shared affections for Alvina…she-"
"Whoa I'm not a doppelganger right?" the fairy questioned, she would just die if she found out she was a doppelganger.
"No…but you both share similar looks…and have the same unique light. Our youngest brother Kol had fallen for Alvina…he and Klaus became estranged and did come to violent blows." Elijah told them "Our mother was a powerful witch and sought to end all of our squabbling, our mother feared we may once again come to blows over Tatia so took her…since our mother was a powerful witch she knew what Alvina was and how potent her blood was. We later learned that the wine we had consumed on the night where our mother performed the spell that turned us into vampires, it was laced with Tatia's blood…and the blood of a fae, Alvina…but the fairy was smart and knew that once we transitioned into vampires…that we would be pulled by her blood. So she faded-"
"What?" Ava asked confused "Faded?"
Klaus cleared his throat "She left this realm…there is one way for a fae to get back to her world…that is to die. Alvina killed herself, to keep nature in balance every five hundred or so years a new fae would emerge and come to this world." he explained. "That's the same with doppelgangers. Their blood is very potent and rare. Fairy blood when used in spell can achieve almost anything." He said. "It's not just an energy boost."
Ava leant back this was a lot to take in, she jumped when she felt a hand on her knee, she placed hers over it and could tell that it was Damon's. He didn't miss the small smile on her face when he gently squeezed her knee.
"But all of this made us realise the sacred bond of family" Klaus murmured
"Family above all" Elijah agreed he clinked his wine glass against his brother's.
Ava crossed one leg over another, and smothered a yawn, she was tired. She heard her plate being cleared away.
"So let's move this evening along" Elijah announced "and discuss the terms of this proposal."
She licked her lips and tucked in a loose curl "That's very simple" Damon stated "Klaus gets his coffin back and in exchange he and the rest of the extended Original family leave Mystic Falls forever. Me, Ava, Stefan and Elena will live happily ever after. No grudges."
"Oh…but then Elijah won't be here anymore" Ava said under her breath.
Elijah smirked but eyed the raven head vampire "Deal sounds fair brother."
Klaus glowered down into his lap "I don't think you understand…Elena's doppelganger blood and Ava's fae blood ensures that I will always have hybrids to fight those that would oppose me. I will never leave Elena behind." He leant forward "And over my dead body will I leave my fairy behind" he growled out the last part.
"Dick" Ava scowled 'his fairy?' she scoffed at the thought.
"Well say I do leave Elena here what then?" Klaus asked standing up moving over to the fireplace. "Under your protection what then? How long before Elena turns into a vampire or better yet ends up dead? The worse thing for Elena Gilbert is you Stefan…and Ava? Well if I leave her behind she will end up dead won't she? Since you Damon are so reckless when it comes to people you care about. You already hurt her enough do the decent thing…and save her the pain. You two aren't exactly lovey dovey anymore" Klaus drawled. Ava frowned.
Damon swallowed "I need some air" he got onto his feet and strolled out.
"I'll deal with him" Elijah said getting out of his seat.
The fairy swallowed…she was thinking over Klaus's words. She wouldn't end up dead because of Damon, she knew that. Sure she and Damon weren't in a great place but he wouldn't permanently leave her would he?
Ava jumped when she felt Klaus move behind her, Stefan stiffened. The hybrid ran his knuckles down the nape of her neck fiddling with one of the buttons on the back of her dress. "All this talking has made me quiet thirsty…fancy letting me having a taste?"
Ava scoffed "No…ass" she huffed.
"Fair enough-"he smirked and dropped a kiss on her cheek.
The compelled waitress moved over to Klaus "Want to join me in a little after drink Stefan?" Stefan shook his head; the hybrid shrugged and sank his fangs into the woman's throat.
"Hmm" Klaus murmured "tasty…but nothing beats fairy blood" he dropped the woman's body. Ava cringed feeling the lady's hand against her ankle.
"Well I guess the only reason you invited us over Klaus was to edge your way into Ava's and Damon's relationship and put me on edge" Stefan got onto his feet.
"Oh…no I'm not ruining their relationship. You see their relationship was doomed from the start…and you're always on edge about your precious Elena" Klaus smirked.
Ava shook her head and got onto her feet "Nice you're such—"just then Damon and Elijah entered the parlour.
"What do you say Klaus?" Damon came to stand beside Ava "time for you to put something on the table. And know that Ava is going to stay here. We made our offer…and now you counter"
Klaus walked around the table and took the seat that the fairy had previously sat in "Ok I offer Elena's future happiness, you see what she needs is to be rid of vampires, and to fall in love with a human. Maybe that nice football player-"
"Matt?" Ava asked she shook her head "No way they'd get back together-"
"Ssh-"Damon hissed into her ear.
"-they'll marry live a long and fruitful life and pop out a few kids-"
"And to continue the Petrova line so every few hundred years you'll have a new doppelganger to drain." Stefan finished off. "And you'll have your hybrids…but Ava?"
"Ah" Klaus smirked leaning forward "now she's a special case. I've learnt that once a fae dies they become immortal but they don't remain in this world…I just need to figure out how to bring Ava back. She is the last of the Xenia line I believe."
Damon growled "Ava is staying here"
Klaus snarled and sneered at the younger vampire "You really are foolish. You think you're the only ones who know of her existence? There are others out there. Alvina was hunted…faes are always hunted for their blood. Ava will be safest with us" he spat. "You know this is best for both of them."
Ava blinked; she didn't want to leave Mystic Falls not yet? And immortality that's a load of crap she thought. No way in hell would Klaus ever be able to figure out how to pull her back here. Plus it was too risky.
"So what do you say Stefan?" Klaus stood up and walked over to Stefan "hmm do we have a deal?" Ava felt Stefan brush pass he as he stood in front of the Original hybrid. Klaus held out his hand to Stefan.
"What are you doing?" Damon frowned.
Stefan placed his hand in Klaus's "Nice try Klaus, but no deal"
Ava jumped out of her skin when she heard two sickening cracks and Stefan crying out in pain. "Stefan!" the fairy shouted. Damon went to blur forward but Elijah pinned him to the wall. Ava paled hearing Stefan screeching.
"Stop-"Damon shouted.
"Klaus!" Ava yelled
"Bring me my coffin before I burn him alive" Klaus snapped his eyes hardened when Damon didn't move. "Fine…you leave me no choice-"he blurred behind Ava and bit in to his wrist. "Sorry love-"he pressed his bloodied wrist against Ava's lips forcing his blood down her throat.
"NO-"Damon roared
"Get me my coffin or she becomes sired to me again-"Klaus abruptly let go. Ava clutched her throat, it was no longer pleasant his blood, it tasted like lava was going down her throat. Elijah frowned as she dropped to her knees. Her whole body trembled.
"Alright-"Damon hissed.
"You go with him brother-"Klaus uttered keeping a hand on Ava's shoulder "keep in honest. And when you return I will keep my promise and return to you our family." Without an argument Elijah followed after the raven head vampire.
Ava felt her gut clenched she hugged herself, Klaus frowned something was definitely off; Stefan had moved over to kneel down beside her.
"Ava, Ava-"Stefan could see that her skin was pale and sheened in sweat.
"What's going on?" Klaus demanded just as the words left his mouth, Ava's stomach lurched and she couldn't hold it down anymore. She vomited up the blood she had consumed as well as the blood.
"Ava-"Klaus dropped to his knees and grasped her face; she wrenched it out of his hold and gagged. Stefan rubbed her back when more blood came spluttering out. Stefan hauled her onto her feet, blood, sweat and tears marred her face, she raised a trembling hand and wiped her mouth.
"What was that?" Klaus snarled.
Stefan glared at him "Fairy protection, she can no longer consumes your blood. She can't be sired anymore to you" he spat. He held her to his side. Ava felt weak and slightly woozy. Klaus looked at the mess on the floor; he could smell and see his blood.
"Elijah? Why haven't you left?" Klaus asked spotting his brother returning along with Damon. The elder Salvatore eyed Ava wanting to make sure she was ok.
"Well where are your manners brothers?" Elijah uttered "we didn't offer Damon or Stefan desert-"there was a waitress standing beside him. He ripped off the cloth revealing two daggers, this only meant one thing.
"What have you done?" Klaus asked taking a step back.
"What have you done?" Elijah countered "see I've learnt not to trust your vulgar promises. We're doing this on my terms."
"Go Elijah-"Ava lamely cheered. Stefan rolled his eyes, from behind Elijah emerged another dark haired Original, he was taller than both of his brother.
"Kol" Klaus raised his hands spotting him.
"Long time brother" Kol smirked darkly at him, his eyes flickered over to Ava. Klaus blurred towards the daggers about to pick one up but someone cut him off. Another Original
"Finn don't-"he yelled out pain when Finn stabbed him in the hand. Klaus went to run out of the door but he was intercepted by Rebekah.
"Rebekah-"she didn't hear him and stabbed him the gut with the dagger and pushed him back where Kol grabbed onto his arms.
"This is for our mother" the female Original stated.
Damon looked at the group of pissed off Originals "You're free to go" Elijah announced. Damon grabbed Ava's hand and literally dragged the fairy out.
"Erm…thanks for the food" Ava yelled over her shoulder causing the Originals to exchange looks "It wasn't such a bad dinner party…till Klaus ruined it…and erm..Rebekah I didn't stab you-"Rebekah's lips twitched in amusement. "Know that."
"Ava-"they heard Damon hiss "Serious?"
"What?" they heard the fairy…there was a moment of silence and then a thump "Ow…bitch Damon that's what you are."
"I'm not even going to ask" Rebekah muttered. As the Salvatores and Ava left.
"Damon I swear I'm ok" Ava said for the fourth time. Stefan was currently waiting in the car for Damon since he and his brother was going to go check on Bonnie and Abbey. Damon had insisted on taking Ava home first which Stefan agreed to.
"You sure?" Damon asked, he walked her up to her house "I can stay-"
"No…look I'm not a kid ok?" she said "I know you're worried…but don't be." Damon cupped her cheek "Don't-"
"No….I know" he smiled down at her. "Know this Ava I do love you…and I rather end up dead then letting Klaus take you." He pressed a lingering kiss on her temple. "Goodnight" he whispered into her ear.
Ava blinked and entered her house. She sighed and walked into the living. She perked up hearing paws running towards her. "Coco-"the puppy licked her hand. She scooped him and dropped onto the couch. "So much to tell." She uttered "The Originals are back…and I figured out that they all have sexy accents…Kol only said two words…but damn that is some fine accent…he oozes sex" she said. Ava grinned and closed her eyes, she was exhausted and was about to doze off with Coco when her cell rang.
"Oh blood cell phone-"Ava huffed and ignored the squeak from Coco as she lifted him up, she dug out her cell from beneath the cushion. "Hello…-"she listened to Elena who was speaking rapidly on the other end "…wait what? Ric is hospital?" she asked. "Yeah..i'm dressed. Cool ok" she hanged up.
Ava plopped Coco on the couch. "Guess like I'm off to the hospital" she uttered. And a minute later there was a knock on her front door.
