Ava groaned and sat up, her brows furrowed in confusion. Why on earth was she outside? She ran through her fingers through her thick hair winced feeling the sun on her skin. The fairy slowly got onto her knees and moaned when her head spin. She felt the grass beneath her hands

"Am I outside?" she grumbled and finally got onto her feet, but she leant too far back on her heels and toppled backwards on to her bum. "What the fuck-"

"No swearing" a familiar voice snapped. "And in a way you're outside-"

"Gran?" Ava questioned blinking hard. "Holy shit I'm dead…I am dead it makes sense."

Claudine snorted at her granddaughter, "You're not dead-"

"I so am dead. Klaus killed me didn't he? God I knew it was a mistake getting friendly with the sexy prick-"she huffed.

"Wait you think he's sexy?" the silver haired woman grin.

Ava rolled her milky green orbs, "Have you heard his voice? Besides being a complete…ya know psycho…he's sexy" she said grudgingly. "So I died didn't I?...please was it totally cliché, don't tell me I died of a broken heart…I think I'd barf" she added

"No…but broken heart?" Claudine frowned and sighed when the smaller fairy still couldn't quiet managed to get up onto her unsteady feet. "Let me guess Damon is responsible right?"

"No…"Ava denied.

"Yep." Claudine countered.

Ava groaned and rubbed her throbbing temples. "So why am I here? Some more mystical fairy intervention? That's why you called me here right…"

"No" Claudine drawled "I didn't call you. You came here."

"Huh?" Ava looked befuddled "But I…do I know the fairy address-"

"No…damn were you always this dense?" she ignored the offended look on Ava's face. "You transported yourself here, and you're translucent meaning you are still alive. So what's up Ava? Your heart must be in despair to get you to come here?" Claudine sat down beside her she could see that after a fifth attempt that the petite teen wouldn't be able to get up.

"My heart?"

Claudine smiled; she really forgot that Ava didn't know anything about their kind. "Your heart. Fairies are pure creatures Ava; we do not take to heartbreak well. Occasionally when a Fae does experience heartbreak….it's…we do not cope well. Some of us turn to different means in a way to cope-"

"So wait you were sexing it up with everyone because Gramps left ya?" she asked.

"He was you step grandfather…married again didn't work out so well." Claudine uttered, she wasn't too surprised that Ava was clueless about that part of her life; her ex-husband had left her long before Ava was brought into the world. "But Niall, that's your actual grandfather is here. I should totally introduce you, he's a bit grumpy."

"Was there a point?-"Ava cocked an eyebrow, wriggling her toes in the soft grass.

"Yes…if a fairy experiences heartbreak…they won't take it as well others. That's why I'm glad to be here. Niall is here and so is my heart-"

Ava snorted "You're such a pansy" she snickered but it turned into a groan when a pang of pain shot through her.

"No it's our way…anyway so what did Damon the dick do now?" Claudine asked.

"Hmm…well he doesn't trust me…he kissed another girl, but to be fair I said we needed space-"

"That bastard-"

"Gran-"

"It's true" Claudine scoffed "Well here is some sound advice, just do what I do when I feel down…and get everything out of your system, meaning crying, screaming and whatever." She told her. "Then you'll feel better."

Ava nodded but stopped "Oww…"she clutched her head "is this a side effect of being here? Feels like my head is ripping in two or-"

"No" Claudine laughed "that's a side effect of a hangover…see ya Ava-"she called seeing little lights appearing on the teen, a tale tell sign that Ava was leaving.

"Ergh-"Ava groaned "oh fuck-"she muttered and rolled over. She yelped when she hit the floor. Ava grimaced feeling Coco jumping on to her chest and licking her face. "Alright…Coco move bitch-"she pushed the dog off of her. She sat up, and paused for a minute to get her bearings. She attempted to recall what happened last night; she was at the graveyard…Klaus came…and Malt whisky.

The last thing she remembered from last night was Klaus shoving her through her front door. "Oh snap…I am so wasted…"her brows furrowed attempting to recall why was she in this state in the first place? And then her heart dropped remembering Damon and Rebekah. Guess they were really over? Even thinking about it made tears well up in her eyes. "No no no crying…do what Gran said…get drunk…or something" Ava steeled herself, she wasn't going to weep over a man. She was going to do something about it. So with that in mind she stumbled onto her feet and tripped over the hem of her ball gown. First things first, she needed to get out of this dress and cheer herself up.


Elena sighed, she needed to talk to Bonnie about this whole Original mess, she slammed her front door shut behind her. She was making her way to the fairy's house knowing that she promised Ava that she wouldn't be left out of the loop. She climbed up the creaky porch steps and was about to knock but froze when she heard music blaring from the house. Elena frowned and was even more concerned when she realised that Ava's front door was wide open.

Her eyes widened taking in the sight of the fairy who was sitting on the couch, with tears running down her face.

"Ava?" Elena questioned.

But the fairy obviously didn't hear her since Ava carried on singing out of tune. It took a second for Elena to recognise what the petite teen was singing; there was a tub of ice cream on Ava's lap.

"Ava, damn she's singing les mis" Elena muttered.

It was true; Ava sniffed and belted out at the top of her voice "On my own. Pretending he's beside me. All alone I walk with him till morning" she sang through a mouthful of melted ice cream.

Elena scrunched up her nose seeing the ice cream dribbling down her face "Without him I feel his arms around me. And when I lose my way. I close my eyes. And he has found me" Ava sobbed.

Elena's jaw dropped and she rushed over to the teen "Ava-Ava"

"Huh-"Ava sniffed "Elena…you're in my house right? Or am I in yours?" she asked. Her voice was slurred and a tiny bit delayed.

"No I'm your house are you drunk?" Elena asked

"No…your face is—"Ava sniffed "I'm having a rum float…"she grinned

Elena looked down into the ice cream tub and saw no ice cream there anymore "Ava there's no ice cream-"

"Oops…"Ava giggled "well I'm having a rum, rum float" she nodded but stopped. "So what's up bitch?" she asked.

Elena swallowed "Ava we need to go to Caroline's place, Bonnie is there-"

"Oh witchy…yeah I heart witchy…don't tell her that" the fairy added "I'll go…yeah to my room." She stumbled onto her feet and precariously wobbled on them. The taller teen grabbed onto Ava's arm

"Hey…I-"

"Let me help you" Elena said the rate Ava was going they would never get to Bonnie and Caroline.

Ava scoffed "I'm incapable…I mean capable-capable-"she huffed "that word is hard to say. I am fine. I can get ready myself"

"Ok" Elena let her go and watched as Ava staggered out of the room, "dear god it's like watching Bambi how to walk" she muttered under her breath. She dropped down onto the couch and picked up the tub of liquidised ice cream.

There was a strong stench of rum coming from it. She cringed and looked around the room, there was various bottles littered around and she wondered what the hell had happened. She knew it had something to do with Damon, since she had just come from there only an hour ago and the raven head vampire was in a similar state that Ava was in.

The doppelganger deduced that whatever happened occured after the Ball. She sighed and was brought out of her musings when she heard a loud thump and an 'Oww"

"Ava?"

"I'm cool I fell…does that rhyme?" Ava yelled

"No…she is so drunk" Elena muttered under her breath. She was about to sit back down again since she had jumped onto her feet hearing the thump.

"Hey Elena? Do you know where my room is?" Ava called "I think…I think my room has moved-"

"She is drunk" Elena huffed and walked out of the living room; she looked up at the top of the staircase and saw Ava face down.

"I am no…am I dressed?"

"You're going to be needing help getting dressed" Elena huffed; she was going to find out what exactly happened between her and Damon. She grabbed Ava's arm and literally dragged her onto her feet.

"Hey….don't touch what you can't afford." Ava said "I have…dignity and I do-god I think I'm going to throw up" she paled her stomach lurched and true enough to Ava's word she vomited all over Elena's boots.

"Ava-"Elena exclaimed disgusted

"I…I think I'm ill" Ava gagged and vomited again.


Ava groaned, she was at the moment in Caroline's room with Bonnie and Elena. Her thumping head wasn't getting better not with all the smoke in the air.

"So…I saw Damon this morning" Elena said glancing over to a pitiful looking blond "And he was in a bad way as well. I asked him what was wrong but he told me to shut-"

"Well maybe that's what you should do" Ava grumbled, the doppelganger had helped her get dressed. "Bon…do you possibly know a cure for-"

"No Ava I have no cure for hangovers" the witch cut her off. And went back to burning the sage, and chanting.

"Why did you get so drunk on your own anyway?" Elena frowned; Ava groaned the doppelganger reminded her of a stern mother.

"I wasn't on my own…Klaus was there" Ava said without thinking. Elena's eyes widened

"You got drunk with Klaus? Why-"

"Because he had good alcohol" Ava snapped "Is this freaking spell working?" she heard the bedroom door opening,

"It's not working" Caroline replied "I can hear every word your saying, about Klaus and Ava getting cosy. You do know that he is the enemy right?" she asked.

Ava rolled her milky green orbs "No I don't he's a fluffy puppy" she sniped. "I need a drink-"she got onto her feet, she already knew where the Forbes kept their alcohol. Elena went to stop her but Caroline shook her head.

"Elena she doesn't need someone to tell her what to do. Ava needs her friends. Something obviously happened" Caroline said and winced when there was a smash.

"Oops" they heard Ava exclaim "I…something broke" she slurred and staggered back into the bedroom. Elena sighed and ushered the fairy towards the foot of the bed and pushed her down.

"Ava…drinking isn't going to help" Elena said.

"Elena don't" Caroline tutted, "ok Ava…you're drunk and obviously upset. So what happened?"

Ava looked wide eye and picked up the bottle of liquor she felt the fiery liquid travelling down her throat. She shook her head "Nothing is wrong…I'm still celebrating from the Ball…they had better drinks though-"

"You are totally upset." The vampire snatched the bottle off of her, causing the petite teen to pout "Elena said she caught you singing Les Mis…tell-tale sign you aren't happy…especially if you're sobbing by the second verse" Caroline huffed, she sat down next to her and the doppelganger sat down on her other side. Bonnie crawled forwards so she was leaning against Elena's back.

"What happened between you and Damon?" Bonnie asked.

Ava bit her bottom lip and felt her heart ache; if she said it out loud it would be very real. Caroline, Bonnie and Elena all exchanged concerned looks when they saw Ava's misty eyes.

"Ava?" Elena said softly,

Ava sniffed "Damon….Damon and I are over" she said at last.

"What? Why?" Caroline asked her brows furrowed in confusion, sure she knew Damon was a dick…but he never would have hurt Ava. She was the only person he genuinely loved.

"He…kissed Rebekah…and well I…I don't know anymore" Ava muttered. She was encompassed into a tight group hug.

"Maybe you two just need a break?" Caroline suggested "It's not the end of the world if you do, sometimes being apart from the person you love, helps you gain a different outlook on things. Makes you think more about yourself" she said.

"Honey-"Elena hugged Ava "we've all been through that part of the relationship. When me and Stefan broke up and he…-"

"Turned into a major bitch?" the fairy offered, her small high was rapidly deteriorating

Elena snorted "Yeah that I thought we'd never come back from that…but things do get better" she informed her.

"I know…"Ava muttered "can we not talk about this anymore?"

"Sure" Elena nodded, the fairy yawned

Ava rubbed her eyes "Why isn't the spell working?" she asked as Caroline and Elena got back on to their feet.

"I don't know" the witch replied "the spell is tricky"

"When Ester did it, she kept the sage burning there was a lot of smoke" Elena said. The petite teen frowned, when did the doppelganger speak to Ester? She thought, but then she remembered the whole point of Elena being at the Ball in the first place was to talk to the Original witch.

"Alright…try it again" Bonnie sighed.

"That means Care you have to leave the room again" Ava stated and flopped down on the bed. Bonnie hurriedly steadied the tray that was placed on the bed.

"Speaking of Ester she came to see me and Abbey" Bonnie murmured,

"Ok…hold up" Ava cut in, "What the hell is going on?" she asked.

Elena sighed "Ok" she wasn't going to lie to the fairy not again. She then went onto explain Ester's plan on tying the Originals together, so if one died so would the others. Ava's jaw dropped.

"What the hell Elena?" she asked. "That-that-"

"No wait" the doppelganger cut in "I didn't know that she would tie them together before I gave her my blood. I just wanted to keep everyone safe-"

"Aww" Ava groaned and clutched her head "Whenever you say that, we all know that someone is going to end up hurt" the petite blond grumbled. "And what did bitch witch want with you Bon?" she asked referring to Ester.

"She wanted to introduce herself to me and Abbey." Bonnie replied "we help bring her back, she's channelling our entire ancestral bloodline for power. I thought she was being polite-"

"Yeah for someone who is murdering their whole family. Such a bitch" Ava spat not at all happy with what was going on, how could a mother do that? To her own children nonetheless "can't we stop her?" she asked.

Elena nodded she felt immensely guilty for the part she played, she wanted to make things right "To stop her channelling from you?"

"Even if there was why would I do that?" the witch asked.

"Because before the Sun and the Moon ritual Elijah tried to find a way to save me. And now I'm in the same position, and I'm just going to let him die?" Elena asked.

"If you did you would be a bigger bitch than you are right now" Ava muttered, sometimes she wondered was the doppelganger sane or not.

"Ok-"Caroline interrupted coming into the room "first off this privacy spell is totally not working. Second of all Elena you are not doing this. Ester is-"

"There's no time to change your mind he'll be dead by the end of the night" Bonnie stated

"Whoa…wait what?" Ava questioned

"Tonight there is a full moon; Ester needs to harness the energy of a celestial event. She asked me and Abbey to join her-"

"Well just don't go. They don't deserve this" Ava cut her off

"I'm sorry Ava but I can't, none of us can…we…Ester would cut us all down if we do" Bonnie murmured.

Caroline sighed seeing the look on the fairy's face "Ava…I know that you like Elijah and…I think Klaus. But that hybrid forced you to be sired to him. Tyler told me what it's like…and it's just wrong" she said bluntly. "Klaus ruined all of our lives…he deserves this…and like always there's collateral damage and Elijah is part of that."

"Don't go against Ester Ava, she made it clear she wants them dead and she'll kill you if you get in the way." Bonnie uttered.

Ava bit her lip and sighed, it was true sure Klaus was a dick to her? She couldn't quiet readily forgive him for what he'd done…but killing Elijah and Rebekah? She didn't want that. Why couldn't they just desiccate Klaus the way they desiccated Mikael? At least he wouldn't be permanently dead.

She confused the others by getting onto her feet, "Where are you going?" Elena called.

"I need another drink" Ava yelled back.


"Ava? You alive?" Elena prodded the half asleep fairy, the pair were back at the Gilbert house, Bonnie had enforced a house arrest on the pair, knowing that they would want to stop the whole thing happening. Ava…would have called Elijah but she had no idea what was his number or Rebekah's.

The brunette sighed when she got a strangled reply from the fairy. "Alaric's going to kill you" she muttered seeing that Ava was holding tightly onto the bottle of his Bourbon, the fairy preferred this beverage over the Malt whisky.

"Give me the bottle-"

"Give me fairy dust-"Ava grunted holding it tightly to her chest.

"I can't-"

"Well no bottle" she snapped. Elena rolled her eyes and bit her bottom lip god she was in the same boat as Ava, but she was worse off. Before she could coax the bottle away from a half asleep Ava, there was three steady knocks on the door.

Ava's ears perked up hearing Elena's voice "Elijah" now the fairy was wide awake.

"Elena-"the Original greeted the doppelganger, he forced himself to remain calm, not wanting to act before he got all the information he needed, after collecting her he was going to pick the fairy up.

"I was hoping you would accompany me I want to show you something-"

"Well-"before Elena could say anything Ava came barrelling out of the room, her cheeks were flushed and her milky orbs were wide.

"Ava-"

"Please tell me you want to show us your naked body-oh wait….hi-"Ava spluttered "I want to come."

"Ava stay-"

"No, if Ava wants to come let her. The more the merrier" Elijah said. "Come Ava-"

"Oh he's commanding…like that-"Ava literally rushed towards him and dragged him off of the porch. Elena was forced to follow "Ava we can't tell Elijah about Ester…not till-just don't-"

"He deserves to know" the fairy thought back causing the brunette to jump.


Ava felt the car coming to a stop, they had been driving for the last twenty minutes, the tense silence had been filled with the fairy's idle chatter. Elena could tell that she was just as nervous as she was.

"We're here" Elijah announced.

Ava unbuckled herself and clamoured out of the jeep, Elena grabbed her hand and linked Ava's arm with hers guiding the fairy forward. The blond could hear the twigs crunching beneath their shoes.

"I can't remember how much I missed this land" Elijah commented.

"I can't even imagine what it must have been like over a thousand years ago" Elena murmured, Ava chose to remain silent for now; she was bursting to tell the Original what was going to go down.

"Did you know your school was built over an Indian village" Elijah uttered "where I saw my first werewolf-"

"I bet you were a hottie-"she yelped when Elena elbowed her hard in the ribs, Ava wouldn't mind being in the company of a seventeen year old Elijah she would no doubt drool. "So anything else Elijah? About this place?" she asked.

"Well the town square is where everyone would gather to worship. Matter of fact there was a field where wild horses use to graze" Elijah said.

Ava tucked in a stray curl "You guys sure do have a thing for horses…you're not into bestiality by any chance are ya?"

"Ava-"Elena hissed

"Valid question" the fairy whispered back.

"Come" he said.

"I like it when he's authorative reminds me how sexy he is" Ava muttered, Elena shot her friend an incredulous look.

"Ava he can hear-"

"Oh fuck" Ava muttered "bloody good hearing. Quick change the subject." Elena shook her head, and saw what the dark haired Original was leaning on, it was a formation of large rocks. She came to a stop, causing the petite teen to halt as well.

"Do you know this place as well?" the doppelganger asked she shoved her hands into her pockets. Ava sighed and tucked her own hands into the pockets of her thick jumper.

"I do" Elijah said "below us is a cavern I use to play in when I was a boy" Ava found that hard to imagine. "It connects to a system of tunnels that stretch across the entire land."

"Huh cool" Ava muttered.

"It is" Elena couldn't help but be unnerved; this Original always put her on edge "it was nature's way of protecting us against the savagery of the full moon." Elijah shred some of the grass from the ground. "My mother said-"Ava felt a huge hate for the woman wash over her when the Original mentioned the witch "there must be a balance."

"Elijah me and Ava should go home…she's not allowed out after dark-"

"Hey-"Ava huffed.

"I admire you Elena, you remind me of qualities I value before my mother turned us." Elijah said. Ava licked her lips hearing the serious tone to his accented voice. "It is not in your nature to be deceitful but when I asked you of your meeting with my mother the other night you lied to my face-"

"Oh shit-"Ava breathed "he knew…he's epic"

"It's not true I told you that all your mother wanted was a new start-"

"I can hear your heartbeat Elena, it jumps when you lie tell me the truth-"

"Alright-"Ava exclaimed

"Ava-"

"Shut up Elena" the fairy said "Ester did some hocus pocus magic trick, she wants to kill Klaus but like all the time there's a catch…for him to die-which I think is messed up…why would a mom want to kill their own kid…fucked up-"

"Ava tell me" Elijah commanded.

"Oh right…"Ava ranted "she tied you all together. If one dies you all do. It's happening tonight-"she blabbed.

"We…thought she was going to help us kill Klaus…I didn't expect this" Elena said, guilt surging through her.

"She wants to undo the evil she created." Elijah scowled

"This is Elena's fault by the way" Ava added.

Elena rolled her eyes but she knew the fairy was right in a way it was. "I wish there was a way for me to help-"

"You know" Elijah said calmly looking up at the grey sky "one thing I learned during my time on earth be careful what you wish for"

"Oh crap-"Ava muttered, she heard the ground shake and then Elena's scream. Elijah had taken her down to the tunnels.

"AVA RUN-"the doppelganger shouted. She didn't need to be told twice and spun on her heel and ran, but she smashed into something hard.

"Ava I find it hard to believe your part in this. Fairies are meant to be pure creatures-"Elijah growled wrapping an arm around the petite teen. Ava paled she had no clue what he was on about. "Not this, what you did it is quiet hard to comprehend-"

"It is" Ava nodded and frowned "Erm what?" she asked.

"You giving your blood to my mother to tie us-"Elijah stated his dark eyes roamed her face.

"You don't know" he deduced.

"Don't know-"

"My mother took your blood last night. For the ritual to be successful fae blood must be used, the essence is also needed for us to be tied. Do you not recall-"

Ava frowned; she was thoroughly confused and shook her head. When would someone take her blood without noticing? She remembered drinking but she wasn't that drunk…well she did get woozy when Finn gave her a drink.

"Oh…your brother is a dick. Finn." Ava huffed "he took my blood-"

Elijah closed his eyes "Seems you really are an innocent in all of this-"

"Great" Ava grinned "Erm…can I go?"

"Apologies Ava, you know where Elena is. No harm shall befall you though" he promised. And within a blink of an eye he plunged Ava into the tunnels.


"Fucking Ester took my fucking blood…with her freaky son" Ava scowled, she and Elena were way below in the caverns, the doppelganger was at the moment attempting to get a signal on her phone.

Elena sighed not getting anything "Ava-"

"Did you know she used my blood?" Ava asked her. The fairy was currently sitting atop a large boulder stretched out. She hated being the damsel in distress, it was dreadfully boring.

"No I didn't" Elena said honestly, she frowned and turned to the fairy "how comes you haven't exploded on me?" she asked. She was expecting to get the silent treatment from Ava.

"Well do you feel bad about condemning a group of people to death?" Ava asked simply.

Elena blinked "Of course I do…I can't sleep, I find it hard to eat…and I wish I never worked with her now." She said, yes Elena certainly regretted helping Ester.

"Well you hate yourself at the moment; you don't need me to hate you as well. You are a bitch though-"Elena's lips twitched at that. "Plus…you're my sister…not blood related of course but still…and family always stick together in the end…such a bitchy move though" Ava added.

The doppelganger smiled, she was split in two about Ava being here, one part wanted the fairy to be home where she would be safe. The other was glad that the fairy was here. She went back to trying to get a signal on her phone, but once again Ava caught her attention, she shined the light on her phone at the fairy and her eyes widened when she realised what the blond was doing. Ava was unscrewing the cap off of a bottle of Bourbon.

"You're drinking-"Elena snapped.

"Hey no judgey from you" Ava countered "bad decision making person. Your fault that a group of sexy people might end up dead. Me resorting to drinking is hardly number one priority" she then threw her head back and took huge gulp of Bourbon.

"Wonderful" Elena muttered "Stuck in a tunnel with a drunk fairy."

"You know it bitch" Ava grinned and raised the bottle to her lips. The fairy drank because she found it to numb her feelings; Gran was the one who said that fairies coped with heartbreak in different ways…it was a tad bit more extreme.

"God Elena" Ava grumbled they had been walking around for more than an hour "I'm tired…and hungry. If Elijah wasn't so sexy I'll be pissed" she said.

Elena sighed "Ava just…stop please. My head hurts-"

"My heart hurts and stomach and ass and-"

"Ok I get it" Elena cut her off, she was holding onto Ava's hand tightly, leading her through the series of tunnels.

Ava frowned feeling a breeze through the air, her eyes widened they must be near to the way out. "Come on-"she pulled Ava with her as they jogged towards the slither of light.

But Elena came to a skidding halt when Rebekah appeared in front of them; she grabbed Ava and shoved the buzzing fairy behind her.

"Going somewhere?"

"Oh come on. Wonderful" Ava groaned "What are you doing here?" she snapped.

"Careful Ava-"

"Why?"

"Well I could kill you-"

"Go ahead-"

"I could-"

"Yeah go ahead…"

Rebekah rolled her eyes; the fairy always had a comeback "What am I doing here? Well not much" she answered the question "Unless Elena tries to run, in which case I get to kill you. Not you Ava-"she said seeing the fairy opening her mouth "Elijah told me you had no idea what my mother was planning. So I'm not to lay a hand on you, which I won't since I actually kind of like you."

Ava sighed "That's the problem I'm so lovable…"she drawled. The doppelganger was baffled seeing the usually vindictive Original smiling "but at the moment I don't like you."

"It's the Damon thing right?" Rebekah asked, she could see that the petite blond wasn't taking it too well, since she could smell the alcohol reeking off of Ava. "If it's any constellation we didn't sleep together. In fact he kicked me out and…well shouted something about ruining something special…it got weird"

"No kidding." Ava grumbled "Well this evening got more exciting right?"


Ava was now sitting on a boulder, near the entryway. Unlike Elena she wasn't afraid since the Original had given her word that the fairy would come to no harm.

"Alright love look into the camera" Rebekah taunted the doppelganger "Smile Ava-"she then turned her phone towards the other blond. "No Ava don't bloody wave, you're meant to look frightened."

"Why? What are you doing?" Elena swallowed, Ava didn't blame her friend for being scared of the other girl, and there was no love lost between the pair.

"I need something to inspire your boyfriends-"

"I don't have one…I wish I had Elijah though-"

"You really do have a crush on my brother don't you?" Rebekah smirked "what about Klaus?"

Ava snorted "He's no Elijah…plus Klaus…can get psycho any minute. Sometimes he's worse than a teen who's menstruating" she uttered.

Elena shook her head in disbelief, was the fairy actually bantering with the person keeping them hostage.

Rebekah giggled "If we survive this I am so telling Nik what you said."

"Good tell Damon to" Ava huffed. She still didn't like the Original; Rebekah canted her head to the side and decided to set the fairy straight.

"Ava, Damon was drunk out of his mind…and I made the first mood" she admitted, the taller blond liked having a friend around, she spent so many decades not having one and now that a fairy seemed to be warming up to her she didn't want that brief moment of friendship to be gone.

But she knew that Ava wouldn't be completely trustworthy towards her, after all the fairy was better friends with the annoying doppelganger.

Ava didn't know whether to feel better or not about learning that titbit of information.

"So Elena why don't you tell Stefan how delightful it is to be stuck in a hole with your biggest fan-"

"It's awesome; we're having a campfire and marshmallows-"Ava called out.

Rebekah scowled "You're ruining my film-"

"I'm making it better. No one likes dark movies…go for comedy gold. Comedy films are epic…me and Gran loved Hangover, Alan is my favourite character, the whole blood brothers scene was epic" Ava grinned, Rebekah looked over to Elena, the Original had no idea what she was on about.

"Speak Elena-"Rebekah snapped cutting the fairy off.

"I guess you think I had this coming huh?" Elena asked, Ava sighed and idly played with the bottle of Bourbon, she wasn't drinking as much. "After what I did to you."

"You know I don't know what I want more" she uttered shoving her cell into her pocket. "To find out we're saved or to find out its ok to kill you" she sneered.

Ava swallowed she was once again reminded of the dire situation they were in. "This isn't my fault-"Elena exclaimed.

Ava snorted "Sorry…but yeah it is" she said.

"I wanted to get rid of Klaus, and after what he did to you Ava I know you did as well." Ava had to give her that, it was true she had hated the man; he had killed Jenna without reason, taken her away from home. Used her as his blood bag, and forced her to do his bidding. "And at one point Rebekah so did you. I didn't know your mom was planning on killing of all of you." She said.

Rebekah growled and stepped up to the brunette "Do you think I want to spend what could be the last few hours of my life having idle chit chat to the girl who literally stabbed me in the back?" she snapped

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say no?" Ava commented licking her lips she was nervous and anxious for Elena.

"Of course I don't. But for some reason everyone wants to bend over backwards to save both of your lives. The fairy is understandable, she's likable…but you?" she said point at Elena "you're annoying. But both of you make pretty good hostages. "So why don't you sit down and shut up, before I ruin everything by ripping your throat out?" Elena backed up and sat down, keeping her eyes on the Original. Her eyes darted over to Ava and were surprised by the expression on Ava's face.

"Why are you smiling?" Elena asked.

"I'm likable" Ava uttered causing a resounding silence to hang in the air.


"And the next line is-"Ava sang "all by myself, don't want to be all by myself-"she stopped when she heard a choking sound and frowned "all right no need to be dramatic I know I'm not a great singer but come on? Killing yourself-"

"Ava stop" Elena snapped, she watched as Rebekah dropped down to the ground. Her body turned ashen grey. "She's dead come on-"

"Wait what?" Ava asked but found herself being dragged off of the boulder, Elena made sure to hold on tightly to Ava's hand as they sprinted through the dark tunnels, the fairy stumbled after every few steps, tripping over loose rocks.

They rounded a corner, Ava panted she was out of breath and yelped when she tripped over a rock just as Rebekah shouted "You can't hide Elena. not sure why I feel under the weather it must be the Salvatores trying to find a loophole. Won't matter I can chase you down on my worst day."

"Ava come on-"Elena grabbed the fairy and pulled her onto her feet. Ava winced and was hauled onto her feet. The doppelganger shoved Ava forward and urged her to run. "

"Why do I have to run?" Ava yelled "she wants to kill you. Not me." But the brunette ignored that she wanted to make sure the blond was safe. She saw the cavern where Ester's casket was and pushed Ava through.

"Oww-"Ava grunted hitting the rocks. "Elena?" she called hearing the brunette cry out.

"Boo" Rebekah grabbed Elena from behind. But the brunette threw head back hitting Rebekah in the face causing her to let her go. She threw herself into the cavern and landed beside Ava.

"You little bitch-"

"Hey" Ava snapped helping Elena onto her feet "no one calls her a bitch but me."

Rebekah sneered. "Apologies…"she drawled but her eyes hardened at the doppelganger causing Elena to swallow nervously as the Original went to launch herself forward but was stopped by an invisible barrier.

Ava let out a sigh of relief hearing the banging, she took a step back and held out a hand trying to find a decent spot to sit. She felt something soft and pushed herself up, she gasped when she dipped. Huh this spot was perfect.

"What is this?" Rebekah spat.

"Sorry no vampires allowed…and Ava you're sitting in a casket" she said seeing the fairy lounging in the casket that Ester had occupied.

"Huh…comfortable" Ava murmured and then groaned

"What? You're hurt or-"

"No" she cut the doppelganger off "I drop the Bourbon." Ava sighed and rubbed her temples.


"Ava wake up" Elena hissed shaking the dozing fairy, she and Ava had been trapped here for more than half an hour and Rebekah had disappeared.

"What?" Ava groaned "I'm never drinking again" she grumbled "ok that's a lie and-"

"Ssh…I think Rebekah is gone" Elena whispered slowly standing up, she held up the torch that Alaric must have left behind when he took pictures of the carvings on the wall.

"I doubt it" Ava muttered hearing Elena moving towards the entrance of the tunnel. The blond opted to stay where she was, she didn't believe that Rebekah would just go off. She was most likely hiding somewhere in the shadows.

"Elena-"Rebekah called

"Told you" Ava gloated from her spit, she pulled her knees up to her chest. The fairy's heart sped up hearing Elena's frightened gasped and then the sound of liquid sloshing around. The doppelganger's eyes widened seeing the can of petrol her eyes darted over to Ava who was attempting to get out of the casket. "Ava stay there. You're safe there." When she still saw the fairy struggling she added "Please Ava I would hate myself if you got hurt"

Ava grudgingly obliged, after all she wouldn't be very useful against an Original, and she would have to be powerful to use her mind tricks on them.

"Let's pick it up from where we left of" Rebekah drawled with that she doused the brunette in petrol.

"Rebekah stop" Ava shouted "fucking stuck in a casket" she grouched she couldn't get out.

"What are you doing?" Elena asked as Rebekah started to sprinkle petrol around the cavern

"Thought I shake things up." Rebekah smirked

"Are you insane?" Elena asked.

"Oh my god I'm wedged in here" Ava yelled her legs were trapped in the casket "and don't ask a crazy person if they're crazy"

"I prefer the term spontaneous" the Original uttered "It's probably why Stefan liked me so much" she grinned, Elena scowled knowing that in the 20s Stefan and the blond had something going on. Rebekah threw the can at Elena's head but the human managed to duck and avoid it. Rebekah then pulled out a box of matches.

"Here's what's going to happen…"she threw a lit match on the ground causing the flames to flare up due to the petrol. "You're going to come outside-"she threw another match but this one was closer to Elena. The doppelganger backed up into the area of where the casket was placed. Since it was clear of flames "or you're going to burn."

"Ok, I'm out. I'm out" Ava shouted getting scared "But I'm fucking stuck. Fucking Ester's coffin is a freaking death trap" she scowled and groaned.

The flames around them died down around them "The next match is going to land on you Elena-"

"Elena shoo I don't wanna die in a cave. I rather go out epically" Ava muttered tucking in a stray curl behind her ear. "Hmm….in a battle, kind of like the one in Hogwarts. Beautiful film" she added.

"Let's try the video thing again. Ava if you speak out of turn, I'll make sure to tear your puppy's head off."

Ava's jaw dropped, she mimed zipping her mouth shut and throwing away the key. Huh the female Original thought, an effective way of shutting the fairy up was to threaten her little dog. She filmed Elena. "So Elena how does it feel that these may be the last moments?"

"I don't know you tell me" the doppelganger uttered "you're the one whose mother is trying to kill you."

"Oh for fuck sake don't mention that" Ava hissed and thumped her head against the stone wall.

"You should be very careful what you say to me." Rebekah snared, the fairy could tell that the brunette had hit a nerve.

"You're still wearing her necklace" Elena pointed out.

"Do you want it?" Rebekah asked throwing it at the doppelganger's feet "is that your last request, here take it."

"She's not doing this because she hates you Rebekah" Elena said trying to reason with her "she told me that she just didn't have another choice-"

"Bullshit" Ava scoffed

"Ava-"

"What? It's true! They want to be a family why can't they. Ester messed it up the big haired bitch. It's her fault they are this way. She has no rights to condemned them." Ava said. "They have a chance to be a family…I would give up my mind reading thing for that." She said the last part softly.

Rebekah swallowed and eyed the fairy, she felt a warmth hit her Ava was truly a remarkable creature she thought.

"No she-"

"Spare me your pity Elena, we're not girlfriends. Want me to prove it?" Rebekah lit a match; she always hated the Petrova women.

"You're not going to do it" Elena stated.

"Oh yeah dare her why don't you" Ava huffed and winced her legs were pressed against the wooden case.

"Why won't I?"

"Because there's a chance that you might survive and if you kill me now you would have used up all your revenge. And isn't that what you want? Revenge" Elena moved closer to the Original.

"Because I pretended to like you and then I stuck a dagger in your back. That's why you're tormenting me because I hurt your feelings." Ava waited with baited breath wondering what Rebekah would do. She relaxed somewhat when the Original threw the match aside.

"The tough act doesn't suit you" Rebekah stated.

"I never said I was tough." Elena countered.

"She's definitely isn't tough" Ava chipped in and once again tried to wriggle out of the casket.


"Ok one two three" with that Elena who was holding onto Ava's hands pulled hard, freeing the trapped fairy. Ava sailed across the floor and groaned. "Ava?"

"Ok. I'm ok" she muttered feeling something cold brushing her hand, she picked it up and realised it was the locket.

"Well that was entertaining" Rebekah drawled "you can come out now. Seems your boys took care of the problem"

"How?" Ava frowned getting onto her feet, Elena came to stand beside her.

"Damon turned your witch friend's mother into a vampire" Rebekah answered. Ava's heart sank…poor Bonnie.

"What?" Elena asked

"Quiet clever actually, they needed to severe the witch line and you can't be a witch and a vampire at the same time" Rebekah said.

Ava was filled with guilt; Damon turned Abbey because she and Elena were in danger. God Bonnie was going to hate both of them, and the truth was Ava didn't blame her, she knew of Bonnie's hatred for vampires and now her own mother who she had just got back was one.

"You're free to go" Rebekah said she turned on her heel but paused. "Oh and Elena you were right, I do prefer taking my time watching you suffer. Much more satisfying" she said and walked out.

"Ava-"Elena called seeing Ava running out

"Hold on, I need to do something" she yelled back leaving Elena behind in the cave. "Rebekah. Rebekah…come on I know you can. You're really mean if you make a blind girl chase you in the dark"

"What is it Ava?" the female Original appeared in front of her.

"This is yours" Ava said softly holding up the locket. "I…want you to know, that I'm not pretending to like you. You have your good moments" she said sincerely.

"Thank you Ava" Rebekah smiled gently pushing aside one of Ava's curl away from her face. Ava felt a pulse of air and knew she was gone.


Ava sighed, she had changed out of her clothes and was wearing a pair of flannel pants and her robe, Elena had gone to see Bonnie, but the fairy didn't bother. She already knew that the witch wouldn't want to see them. A tear trailed down her face, everything was going downhill and so fast. She was in turmoil about Damon…but honestly Ava couldn't be bothered to deal with all that nonsense.

"Tears doesn't suit you" a familiar voice murmured.

Ava immediately recognised that accent "Elijah?" she felt the porch swing dip in added weight, telling her that he was sitting next to her.

"Yes…why the tears?"

Ava swallowed "I just…so much has happened" she murmured a breeze washed over them sending her loose curls flaying in the wind. "One of my best friends lost her mother just as soon as she found her…but she's not the only one right? You and your mom"

"Hmm I have no mother Ava, only Ester."

"Why are you here Elijah? Not that I'm complaining" she hastily added "You're still sexy I mean…good-"

The Original frowned after all he had done today, this little fairy still thought of him that way? "How can you say that? I terrorised you and Elena-"

"Yeah to protect your family who can blame you? I don't" Ava said.

"My mother had a point Ava, we are a curse on this earth-"Elijah uttered,

Ava shook her head "Ok sexy…-"he's lips twitched at that "let's get one thing straight. You are on this earth. Sure you did bad things but so have everyone else. I believe that vampires aren't monsters, they are just different-"she managed to grab his hand

"Nice hands…I mean….Elijah you're going to be around a long, long time. You're just too….epic to be killed or whatever. Why live in regret? You've got centauries to redeem yourself. You're already a good man Elijah…but I know you can be a great man" Ava said sincerely,

Elijah smiled a true smile and cupped a cheek "You are a wonderful person Ava, for someone so young you are wise never lose that. You and Damon…-"

"Nothing really there Elijah" Ava said sadly,

Elijah tutted and stroked his thumb across the apple of her cheek "That is something we both do not believe. Love like that Ava never dies…but I think that you should be free for some time. Damon can't cage you. You're young and you should live your life. Even if for some time Damon is not part of it."

Ava smiled feeling somewhat eased "Thank you" his words made sense. She and Damon had time to figure things out. "So why are you here? Besides the epic pep talk?" she asked.

"I've come to say goodbye-"

"Oh" Ava pouted "Why?"

Elijah chuckled "To do what you said, and become a great man" he murmured dropping his hand away from her face. "I got you this, I remember you are fond of them" he pressed a box in her hands.

Ava rattled it and smiled "Pop tarts?" she asked her eyes twinkled. Elijah laughed

"Yes" he said

"You are my perfect man Elijah." Ava said "So any chance of us-"

Elijah smiled and held her hand "If you were only a few years older-"

"Oh god come back in two years" she smiled. She heard him getting onto his feet, she set the box on the swing and also stood "So do I get a hug goodbye?" she asked.

"Something more" Elijah said, with that he embraced the fairy and kissed her on the cheek. Ava's cheeks tinted pink "Erm Elijah?"

"Yes Ava?" he couldn't help but grin seeing the little fairy blushing

"You missed my lips" she said. Making the Original chuckle.

"Goodbye for now Ava" he whispered into her ear. With a pulse of air he was gone.

Ava smiled, he made her feel better, and she knew that this wasn't a goodbye forever. So with that thought in mind she picked up the box of pop-tarts and shut the front door behind her. It locked with a click.
