"You spin my head right round-right round-now grind-"Ava Xenia giggled she was having her time in Fairy World, she could see the fresh cut grass, the blue sky, a few mocking jays flying over ahead…and she was with her family.
"Faster Ava-"Ophelia one of the other fairies laughed, as they spun around faster. Ava had found herself being part one of the faes celebratory dances, where they spin, dance under the bright hot sun. Unlike the earth's sun, Fae world one constantly be reenergising her.
Ava staggered to a stop, she slipped on the grass. "Ava-"
"Give me a break I was dead you know-"the blond huffed and wobbled over to the edge where she plopped down and dipped her feet in the sparkling water. She let out a sigh and closed her eyes, she upturned her face and once again smile…she felt so happy but something was missing….someone was…Ava found herself for some reason incomplete.
"You figured it out yet-"Ava glanced up and cocked an eyebrow seeing her grandmother there. She sat down on the ground beside the younger fairy.
"You high again Gran?"
"Such a whore you-"Claudine shoved her causing Ava to slip into the water—she made a face and grabbed the back of Ava's sheer white dress
"You're such a bitch Gran-"she glared at the older woman.
Claudine rolled her eyes "Honey I've been called worst-no seriously that's true-"Ava giggled and nodded
"I don't doubt it-"the petite teen grinned. And could hear the folk music in the background. "Something isn't right Gran-"
Claudine smiled sadly; it was only of a matter of time when Ava would remember what she had left behind in the other world. "Remembering-"
"What?" Ava frowned…there were snatches in the deep recesses of her mind…kisses, touches, laughter…all with one man…one vampire.
"Honey-"Faith sat down on her other side, as Ava stared down at her reflection in the water, she looked fresher, brighter…but not happier. It was as if some part of her was missing. "When you came into our world you was shocked….distraught…the thing is-"she wrapped her arm around Ava's shoulders hugging her daughter to her side.
"Since you're a telepathic fae…you can play with people's minds, your father is the same-"Faith informed her, Claudine herself had the ability of empathy whilst she herself to could see the future. "Not only can you and your father do that…but it's sort of a defence mechanism…you can block your mind off, if you've been through an immense amount of trauma."
"I don't understand-"Ava frowned shaking her head. She was here, in this new world with her family, hell she even had aunts, uncles and cousins.
"Wow-you're really are the epitome of blond-"
"Would you kindly fuck off mom-"Faith cut her off. Claudine pouted and mumbled something amount being mean. "The thing is Ava-you died…drowned, went into cardiac arrest-look-"with a wave of her hand the lake that they were dipping their feet turned into a sort of looking glass, Ava peered down and gasped at the sight.
There was she, Matt and Elena driving down the road, another flick of Faith's hand revealed Matt's truck crashing into the river at Wickery Bridge. The image shifted revealing Elena-that was Elena? God damn Ava thought that girl needed to gain some weight on her bones….bloody skinny that's what she is. "Can you focus on the scene not how skinny the doppelganger is?" Faith drawled,
"How the hell did you know?" Ava pouted looking at her mom.
Claudine snorted and ran her fingers through her short silvery hair "Your commentary for one thing doesn't allow you to be discrete." She said.
Ava scrunched up her nose "Oh…so I was doing that out load-"
"Would you both shut up, so we can watch you dying?" Faith huffed; she wondered how on earth Mystic Falls coped with these two around.
"Mom that sounds so-"
"Shush and watch-"Faith said sternly, causing both her daughter and mother to roll their eyes simultaneously. Ava looked back down at the looking glass, where she watched Elena screaming, and holding onto her hand.
Ava swallowed…."Is that…Damon-?" she whispered seeing a body coming towards the crashed truck.
Faith smiled and shook her head "It's Stefan-if this was Damon-he would've gone straight to you and damned everyone else-"she said, the three females watched as Stefan grasped Ava…leaving Elena behind.
"He left her…."
Claudine swallowed "No-Stefan loves you too-"
"Wait I have two Salvatores-"
"No you puff-ball-"
"MOM-"Ava whined when her grandmother slapped her upside the head. Faith groaned it was impossible to suffer a migraine in this world, but swear to Titania-who was Faith's great-grandmother…also the queen of faes these two were causing her one.
"Shut up-"Faith snapped "And Stefan loves you like you're his own flesh and blood…Elena had vampire blood in her system meaning she would come back regardless, unfortunately for you this wasn't the case."
With a wave of her hand the scene changed….Ava gasped seeing herself convulsing on a hospital bed and the doctors and nurses all surrounding her form.
It moved and she saw a dark haired man storming into the room….Stefan was holding him.
"NO-AVA DON'T LEAVE ME-DON'T GIVE UP PLEASE-"he dropped to his knees, Ava felt her heart shatter at the sight of him.
"That's Damon-"she said her hand reaching out to him…the tips of her fingers touched the water, his face rippled.
"Funny how you didn't even need to ask that-"Faith smiled gently down at her, Ava's sea-green orbs were drawn back over the raven head vampire…this was the man she loved, the man who loved her…
"He looks so broken-"Ava could feel tears trickling down her own face, she shuddered seeing Damon sobbing in his brother's arms as they called her time of death.
"Because he is-"Claudine murmured, she looked over her granddaughter's head and nodded towards her own daughter…they knew what they needed to do. "And you're broken without him-"a sob tore from Ava's throat…she missed him, so, so much….she pressed her hands against her eyes, she didn't want to see him cry anymore. "Ava you belong with him…-with all of them, Stefan, Elena, Jeremy, Bonnie and the others."
Ava wiped her face and looked up at her mother "But you're my family-"she shook her head.
Faith felt her own tears welling up in her own eyes, "Darling-"she gently grasped Ava's chin, forcing her to look her in the eyes. "You can have family even if they're not blood related. You were with them throughout your whole life they watch you grow, cared for you, and loved you-that's family. I and your father would have given anything to do that. But we didn't belong there….similar to the way you don't belong here-"
"What-but I'm a fairy-"Ava said she was confused "I am right-"
"Yes…but you're a special kind of fairy." Faith kissed her on the temple "A fairy whose heart has been captured by a vampire…and who also ensnared a vampire's heart. You should be with your family-honey-"she covered Ava's mouth with her hand. "We will always be there…and I got a feeling that you'll be back soon enough-"
"No-if I go back you-you said I might not be able to return-"Ava started, what the hell was going on?
Claudine smiled and kissed her cheek "Honey we're magical creatures…we find our way around things. Look at Bonnie she freaking raised the dead with Jeremy." She shrugged her shoulders
"But-"Faith cleared her throat "there's consequences…you won't be able to see and you'll become a fully-fledged fae, no longer human-you won't be bound by human laws."
Ava licked her lips "What-? What does that even mean?" she asked.
Claudine smirked "You'll find out if you go back. It won't be easy, no fae has ever done this before…since it-to survive you'll need some sustenance from another supernatural creature. I believe Damon will take care of that." she bopped her shoulder.
"What-you're not making sense-"Ava blurted out.
Claudine rolled her eyes "You'll figure this out when you go back-"she said.
"What-what-"
"You and Damon are meant to be, Klaus was just a distraction…whatever you felt for the hybrid was easily eclipsed by the love you have for Damon." Faith said wisely.
Ava shook her head; they were making her go back? Damon-they were making her go back to him…she did love him. more than anything…he was there for her in her darkest time…even when she was a child-hell he even introduced her to pop-tarts-Stefan left Elena behind so she had a chance at survival…she was so loved. Loved by them.
Ava's eyes lit up, she would be willing to lose her sight for them…it wasn't such a major lost though-she spent the majority of her life not being able to see…hell it made her who she was. So if being bling was one of the pitfalls of going back…well she was happy to take that.
"What about Dad or-"
"Your father will understand. You'll visit us-"Faith assured her "hopefully not too many times. A Fae needs happiness and love to survive Ava, we are creatures of light we need those things to survive….if not your light will fade. Damon is the answer…you won't be truly happy here. So you're going back."
Ava swallowed "But-"
"You'll be happy-"Faith promised, she wanted that for her daughter. "I promise. It'll take some time." she hugged her hard.
"You got to admit you're lucky Damon is a hottie-"Claudine embraced her
"He is-and I had sex with that god-"Ava grinned.
"You lucky shit-have fun….and try not to hit your head…since you're in a fridge or something-"
"What-"Ava was cut off and a scream left her mouth when her grandmother pushed her into the lake, she could vaguely hear her mother scolding Claudine, but the fairy was lost in the water, and her world went completely black.
Elena's brows furrowed, she could hear the sound of tree cutters, children laughing, and road works. Her eyes snapped opened and she gasped taking lungful of airs. She abruptly sat up and looked around in panic…but relaxed seeing Stefan sitting at the foot of her bed.
"Stefan?" the doppelganger gasped.
"Yeah-"he couldn't even force a smile onto his face…after what happened. "You've been in and out for hours-"
"What happened?" Elena asked still confused.
Stefan knew that telling the brunette the truth and the outcome of what happened would destroy her…especially since the vampire didn't want to say it out loud…if he did so, it would make it more real to him that the fairy was no longer here. Ava was no longer here.
But he forced himself to do so, "You-you were in an accident-"his voice wobbled, they were In her room, Stefan had taken Elena away from the hospital. He didn't-he couldn't be in a hospital where Ava's lifeless body was.
Elena gasped recalling the events "Oh my god, Matt? Ava? Are they-"
"Matt is alive," Damon spat…the doppelganger noticed him for the first time, he looked terrible, his hair was a mess, dark circles were beneath his eyes…and Elena didn't like the look in his eyes at all. One push and he would completely lose it. "Ask Stefan he is the hero-"he sneered at her.
"He's fine." Stefan stammered "When Jeremy brought you into the hospital the first time your injuries were worse than anyone knew…Meredith Fell made a choice, she used my blood to help save you." he took a breath. "And when Rebekah ran Matt's truck off the bridge you had vampire blood in your system."
Elena's jaw dropped her eyes filled with tears. "Lucky you huh?" Damon sniped sarcastically. She frowned…they mentioned Matt but what about Ava?
"Where's Ava? Is she at-"
"She's dead." Damon growled. "She is dead…."fury and hurt welled up in him when he said that.
Elena gasped; an onslaught of emotion hit her. No this can't be happening…none of this should be happening. Ava couldn't be dead…who would steal Jeremy's food? Cheer her up? Make inappropriate comments? "No, no, no this wasn't meant to be happening….?" She stuttered "I-can't be dead-"
"Don't worry Bonnie said she'll be able to do something-she's stronger than ever-"Stefan sought to reassure her.
Damon scoffed "You're in denial. She needs to feed or die. Do whatever I don't care-"he snapped.
"Damon she has the whole day, we can exhaust every-"
"Whatever Stefan." Damon glowered at him…his brother had to pry him away from Ava at the hospital, when Meredith and the others went to put her body in the morgue…seeing that door close…killed a part of him.
Elena sobbed "No, Ava was meant to be here…I was ready to die-I was meant to die, I can't be a vampire-"she cried.
Damon stood up; a look of disgust crossed his face. "You're a selfish bitch-"he spat,
"Damon-"Stefan growled.
"No she is-you're crying about becoming a vampire? Ava didn't even get that chance…you know I wished you would have died instead of her…you don't deserve a second chance-you wanted to die-Ava didn't" Damon said, his eyes were full of unshed tears…he wanted his fairy, he wanted his other half, and it sickened him to see Elena feeling sorry for herself.
Without another word he stormed out of the room, he couldn't deal with Elena's petty ass little problems.
"Stefan-"Elena choked out; she didn't want any of this to happen. Her boyfriend grasped her hand; he was upset to about Ava,
"He's upset Elena. He didn't mean that." Stefan said they both knew he was lying. The eldest Salvatore had meant every word. He would rather have the doppelganger die then Ava.
Damon slammed down the bottle of Bourbon that was filled up to midway. He gripped the glass and swallowed, and threw the glass into the wall. Instead he took several swigs from the bottle. Despite how much he drunk he couldn't numb any of his feelings. The vampire was just so tempted to switch it off….he wanted to do just that.
Stefan stormed into the kitchen. "There was no need for that. The way you spoke-"he glared at his brother.
Damon's lips curled up into a snarl "I do not care. Way to get your girl's hope up about something that never happened before in the history of vampirism." He drawled "Well done brother."
Stefan groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You weren't there that day when she told me that she didn't want to be a vampire-"
"At least she gets a choice." Damon shouted throwing the bottle into the window smashing it. "I don't care about Elena-what she wants or not-feed her or lose her. That's the choices brother-"he spat.
Stefan licked his lips "Damon I know you're hurt but at least-"
"What? The two people I couldn't care less about are alive? Or semi-alive in Elena's case?" he took a threatening step towards his younger brother. "Wohoo-the world has one more quarter-back…and a drab little doppelganger."
"I know you're angry about Ava-"Stefan started.
Damon growled and grabbed the younger Salvatore by his throat and slammed him into the wall, and held him there. Stefan choked and gasped when the raven head vampire started to crush his throat.
"Don't you dare say her name-"he hissed "You don't deserve to-Saint Stefan gets everything he wants-"
"When did I ever-"Stefan winced when he felt his bones cracking under the pressure of Damon's hand.
"You get to spend an eternity with the woman you love-"he roared in his face, this was the first time in a long time there was roar of uninhibited emotion there. He could see the pain, the hurt, the anger in his brother's eyes…and it was all because Ava was gone. Stefan could see his brother breaking. "I don't get that. The woman I love isn't here anymore-you've got the chance to save your one-if I was in your shoes I would force blood down her throat." Damon uttered,
"But no I don't get that….I can't even go home Stefan…lie down in my own bed, because I can smell her Stefan-"he let go, dropping Stefan so the younger Salvatore crumpled onto the ground. Damon was breathing heavily, so his chest was heaving up and down.
"I-I miss my Ava-"he swallowed "everywhere I look I see her face-so do whatever you want to Elena-lie to her, she has no chance of getting out of this. So accept it."
Damon gripped onto his hair and felt another course of fury sweep over him; he grabbed the stacked dishes and smashed it onto the floor. Stefan kept quiet…knowing that his brother needed to burn some of the rage off.
"Ava-Ava is dead?" Matt asked, his eyes were watery, and a tearful Caroline broke the news. Stefan had called her to tell her what happened. The blond vampire was on her way out of town but couldn't leave after learning that happened.
Caroline swallowed tears were marring her face "She went into cardiac arrest….her heart stopped-"
"Oh my god-"the jock collapsed onto the edge of the bed. Elena was a vampire…Ava was dead…this was his entire fault, neither of them wanted to leave town but he drugged them…forced them into the car…dear god he signed their death warrants.
"This is my fault-"Caroline rushed forward and grasped him by his face.
"No it isn't-"
Matt slammed his hand down on the bedside cabinet. "It is. Elena didn't want to be a vampire-and she is. Ava? I promised Ava I'll take care of her-"he cried holding his face…he couldn't imagine his life without his favourite blond, she was like a baby sister to him-"I promised Ava, after Alaric's death I would look after her…she is dead. And she can't even come back as a vampire" He shouted.
Caroline's lips trembled and she rushed forward wanting to shut him up. "Cool it with the 'V' word, I'm a fugitive remember? I'm supposed to halfway to Vegas by now-"
Matt frowned "Why the hell Vegas?"
The blond pressed her lips together…"I and Ava were planning on going there once we graduated." She admitted "I was going to go and check it out for her…but-"she trailed off, it still felt so unreal to her.
Matt shook his head "The Council is after you Caroline. Why are you here?" he asked.
Caroline swallowed and looked down "Because Tyler is dead. Ava is dead and everything is changing, I don't know what to do-"she sobbed. The Jock pulled her into a hug; she stiffened "They're here." without another word, the vampire fled, just as one of the council members entered the room, only finding Matt.
Damon stalked towards the Mikealson Mansion, anger and hate was brewing within him. He had a tonne of drinks…which wasn't such a great thing since it made him do stupid things. And confronting and Original, with the means to kill said Original was a stupid idea.
His nostrils flared and a wicked sense of glee filled him, seeing how upset Rebekah was. He watched as the female Original threw several items aside crashing it to the floor.
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady." Rebekah called him out,
Damon's jaw clenched "Good advice have you seen one?" he countered, and the blond turned to face the young vampire.
Her nose scrunched up seeing the state of him. "Aww is Ava upset about tragic little Elena-"she taunted, "Pity-not to make a grey cloud greyer but did Matt have automobile ins—"she was startled when Damon flew out her, thrusting a white oak stake into her chest it just grazed her heart. But the Original was faster, and grabbed his wrist. The tussle was messy, till Damon found himself slammed against the wall. Rebekah broke his wrist, causing the raven head to snarl.
"Is this-"
"It wasn't just Elena and Matt in the car-"spit flew from his mouth, his eyes were dark causing Rebekah to stiffen, the whole time she's been in this town she never witnessed Damon like this "Ava was there-she is dead-and it's all your fault." With all of his strength he threw the Original across the room.
Rebekah faltered "Ava-Ava was in there?" she said, she never wanted to hurt the fairy; the young quirky blond was the only one in town who she would consider as her friend.
"Yes-"Damon's breath hitched "And she is dead."
"Damon-"Rebekah went to move forward but there were gunshots that fired off. She staggered back and saw wooden bullets imbedded in her torso. "Damon—"an arrow was fired in her chest; her eyes drifted over the raven head vampire "help" she stuttered,
The elder Salvatore watched in grim satisfaction as Rebekah's body greyed. She was temporarily dead, he didn't waste any time and blurred off the scene. He and Stefan were going to be next, the Council was rounding up the vampires.
Damon was now back at the Gilberts and much to his distress there was no Elena or Stefan. He could only assume that the Council had taken them. Liz arrived on the scene; she had been worried about Caroline. And was relieved when she got a call from her daughter saying that she managed to escape, Liz was then whisked away to the Gilberts since Meredith had phoned her.
"Damon-"
"What-"he snarled, she forced herself to stop. Liz was at the hospital the night of Ava's death…she could see that Damon wasn't coping. But she needed him to get a hold of himself so they could save the others.
The sheriff came up behind the vampire, and saw that Damon had been holding a framed picture of Ava and Alaric. He was not only in mourning but the vampire was also worried for his brother. He would hate to admit it out loud, but Stefan was the only one who was holding him together.
"They're gone. Whoever nailed the blond bitch got them to." He said, placing the framed picture gently atop the table. "Please say you've got some news"
Meredith entered the room, coming to stand beside Damon. "I can't the Council locked me and Carol out of our offices, everything."
Damon clenched his fists "So the mayor and the sheriff didn't have a backup?" he snapped "I want my brother back Liz." He growled. "I won't lose him."
Meredith swallowed; she was walking on eggshells around him. She didn't want to set him off. She was also there that night of Ava's death, and when she called him, she literally saw Damon's world shatter around him. "Did Caroline tell you where they planned on taking her?" she was trying to be the voice of reason.
Liz shook her head "No she said she was in a van in the middle of nowhere and managed to escape." She informed them. Damon growled, and swept his hand across table-top, knocking the plant and smashing it onto the floor.
"Great we narrowed it down to nowhere-"before either the doctor or the sheriff could calm him, there was a knock on the door.
"Hey, is Elena here?" Damon's head snapped up hearing Matt's voice. He blamed the jock, he was at fault too-the vampire blamed him most of all. Matt gasped when Damon grabbed him by his neck and pinned him against the wooden pillar. "In what universe do you get to live?" he snapped.
"Damon stop it-"Meredith shouted seeing the vampire choking the blond.
Damon growled and threw Matt to the floor, "DAMON-"Liz shouted, the vampire raised his fist and smashed it into Matt's face, causing the jock to cry out. He straddled his waist and started to hit him repeatedly.
"STOP IT!" Meredith shrieked she and Liz were attempting to pry the enraged vampire off of the human.
"Ava wasn't even meant to be in the car-"Damon snarled and slammed his fist, not caring when his knuckles were stained with blood. "She was meant to be here-where it was safe-"he hit him again, and again, and again-
"DAMON STOP YOU'RE KILLING HIM-"
"Good-"Damon sneered, his fangs were out, and he looked completely terrifying he was going for his most strongest blow, but groaned and halted in pain, when Liz grabbed a knife stabbing him in the middle of the back.
He choked on his own blood, and Meredith and Liz hefted him off. "Stop it-this is Matt-"Liz held his shoulder, as the doctor saw to a barely conscious Matt. "Ava's friend-this is Ava's friend. She wouldn't be happy you doing this Damon." The sheriff knew the fairy her whole life…and knew it was the truth.
Damon inhaled and stood up. "You're right-but I swear to god quarterback, piss me off and you are dead." He promised, his eyes were hard and full of hate. He grabbed the jock by the lapels of his shirt and lifted him up, so his feet were dangling "I blame you for Ava being dead. And I will terrorise your ass for as long as you live."
Meredith sighed, she was back in the hospital and was currently staring at the empty bed in which only a few hours Ava was in. She sighed saddened, despite not knowing the fairy for long; she couldn't help but like her. A smile lit her face…damn it didn't feel too long ago when she had to deal with the fairy when Ava smashed her own nose in the door.
She headed towards the morgue, she needed to actually sign the final paperwork…and she wanted to see Ava's face.
So Meredith pushed opened the double-doors glaring at a few passing Council members who were put on watch. She entered the morgue and she headed towards the small metal door where the label red 'Ava Xenia'. It felt so wrong someone who had so much life in her was shunted into a tiny fridge.
Usually it was a pathologist or someone else who would clean the body, but Meredith wanted to do this for Ava. She knew the others would hate the idea, even the fairy herself of someone who was a complete stranger dealing with her.
She swallowed and prepared herself…even though being a doctor entailed dealing with the dead it was never easy. Much less so when it was someone who you come to care for.
So with a deep breath Meredith and pulled open the door of the freezer. "Oh Ava-"she took in sight of the pale skinned girl. She was about to reach out and stroke the teen's cheeks, when the doctor got the fright of her life.
Ava Xenia's milky green eyes snapped opened, and she gasped taking in lungs full of air. Her chest heaved. And immediately sat up.
"Ava-what-the-you-you're dead-"Meredith choked out, she was…the doctor knew it-she called her death.
Ava heaved and felt as if her mind was full of cotton wall. She groaned "Fairy magic-"she winced rolling her shoulders. She took a deep breath and smile, smelling the stale air "Oh shit-I feel hung-over-"she groaned.
Meredith just stared at the teen, eyes wide and mouth open. "You were dead-I saw you-your heart stop-"
Ava shivered, she was still in her hospital gown, "Meredith you-wait where's Damon? I want Damon-"she demanded, her mind was still clouded, her muscles were stiff and her head was throbbing.
"He-you were bloody dead-"
Ava rolled her eyes "Bitch please-you know about vamps, fairies shouldn't be as surprising-and why the hell do you keep bodies in freezers? I'm freezing my tits off-"she was cut off when Meredith laughed loudly, and hugged the fairy hard.
"Oh my god Ava, I'm so happy you're alive-"she said holding her close, Ava smiled, she was tired…god she needed a shower and some sleep. But first she needed Damon….she wanted to make sure he was ok. As well as Elena…recalling the fact that the doppelganger was in transition.
"Me too-"Ava smiled…her throat was parched "Gosh I'm thirsty-you got some bourbon or-"
Meredith rolled her eyes, but was still beaming. "You came back from the dead, and you want Bourbon?"
Ava pouted "Alright-"she declared as the doctor helped her down from the metal slab that she had been placed up. As soon as her bare-feet touched the polished floor, she wobbled; Meredith immediately wrapped her arm around the teen's waist. "I came back from the dead-"they slowly made their way out of the morgue, "I think I deserve Champaign-"she grinned, and idly rubbed her throat. Causing the doctor to frown.
"You need water-"Meredith declared.
Ava shook her head…no she didn't want that. She felt a breeze on her bare-legs. "Mere? Do I have knickers on? It would suck if the world can see my ass-"
Meredith giggled "Honey you came back from the dead I don't-"she stiffened when she saw the Pastor at the other end of the corridor. The man with grey peppered hair smirked in triumph. "And-you've gone all tense why is that?" she asked.
"Because dear Ava Xenia-she knows she's been rumbled." The Pastor smiled knowingly. Meredith scowled and squared her shoulders pushing the recently revived fairy behind her. "You're a sympathiser to their kind-"
"Their kind-"Ava asked in confusion. "What hell-oops is that blasphemy-"
"Be quiet you demon-"he shouted.
The fairy had the 'wtf' look on her face "Dude chill-my head is killing me-"she rubbed her head.
"That would heal up right-"he sneered. The blond could hear the venom in the man's voice and automatically took a step back.
"Listen Pastor Young Ava isn't who you think she is-this all can be explained-"Meredith said loudly, intervening, she could see the situation getting out of control.
"I know she isn't-"Pastor Young tutted, Ava licked her chapped lips, this certainly wasn't the way she imagined her return would go….she wanted to be bathed in chocolate…and strawberries, and have Damon at her beck-and call. But waking up in a freezer, yeah not the ideal place. "What would your grandmother say?-"
"Erm…she would say…what the fuck is wrong with you?" Ava said answering his question. Meredith resisted the urge to palm her face.
"It was a rhetorical question-"he snapped.
Ava stuck her tongue out "Well maybe you should have said that first-"she countered.
"Look I'm just going to get her home, she's not-"Meredith nervously licked her lips, she couldn't see of the other Council members at the moment, nor did it look like Pastor Young was carrying any weapons at the moment.
"She is a vampire." Pastor Young declared.
Ava's jaw dropped before she broke out into a fit of giggles, she placed her hand over her lips, but it wasn't working. "Shit you're funny I'm not a vamp-"she shook her head.
"You came back from the dead-"he argued.
"No she-"
"I saw her death certificate-"
"I got a death certificate?" Ava hummed "well it's wrong-"
"Only one thing can come back from the dead…creatures who are dead. You're a vampire." Pastor Young said mournfully, "I didn't want this to be true Ava; after all I've known you your whole life, your parents as well as your grandmother." He cleared his throat.
Meredith tensed; the fairy was going to be taken to wherever Stefan and Elena are. Most certainly be put to death, if the Pastor had his way. She needed to get the fairy out of here. She prayed this would work.
"Ava, behind you is a corridor, keep running straight-and turn left, you'll be at the hospital back entrance-"Ava jumped hearing Meredith's voice in her head. She winced at that…still not used to being on the land of the living. "GO!"
Ava took a step back "NO-"Pastor Young shouted and was tackled to the ground by Meredith, giving the fairy the chance to escape. She could hopefully someone out there who would help her. "You're worse than them." He backhanded the doctor on the face and threw her off. He needed back up.
Ava's bare-feet pounded against the polish floor, she was so not in the right frame of mind to be making a getaway. She winced feeling the hard floor slapping against her feet. She gasped hearing thundering down behind her.
"Bloody came back from the fucking dead and I'm already excising….wish Jere was here-he's a good horse-"Ava winced and clutched her side feeling a stich coming on.
"STOP VAMPIRE-"she heard one of the men shouted.
"HOW ABOUT NO?" Ava screamed back, and skidded to a halt, when there was no more stairs. "Shit-"she bit her lip, left or right? What did Meredith say? Fuck she should've paid attention…Ava felt a breeze coming from her left, that way. She sprinted out of the hospital, and ran across the open grounds of the hospital.
"TAKE HER DOWN" she heard a shout.
"What-ARGH-"Ava screamed, when a car slammed into her. She hit the windscreen causing it to crack, before her body hit the cement. The fairy moaned in pain, and felt her whole body aching. She could hear several pairs of boots coming towards her. Hands closed around her arms, and she nearly cried out in pain when she was hauled onto her feet.
"Let's put this vampire with the others." Pastor Young said jogging over his people. He saw the blond fairy's head hanging forward…blood ran down her face. He assumed it would heal up.
Stefan groaned in pain, he was praying for Damon to find them. When he had come to, he had learnt he had been locked up in a barn stuffed full of vervaine, and not only that but Rebekah was here. And soon enough Elena had joined them…and she hadn't fed.
"Elena? You still with me?" he called, he needed to keep talking to his girlfriend.
"Yeah-"Elena wheezed. "God Ava would've sided with Damon told me to feed when I had the chance-"she let out a breath, her chest rattled.
"Yeah after calling me a moron." Stefan smiled in thought at the fairy.
"I miss her-"Elena murmured closing her eyes. Knowing that Ava's inability to keep her lips sealed would drive the council members crazy, along with their extra muscle
Stefan coughed and hummed…if Damon fell through well then there was no chance, he knew his brother was in a precarious platform, one wrong move, he and Elena could end up dead. His head snapped up when the barn doors slammed open.
His eyes widened and he shuffled forward so he was leaning against the barns. He saw the Pastor's henchmen dragging in a small form….the scent hit Stefan full force, as it did for the Original, and the doppelganger.
"Here stick her here-"
"Her has a name-"the familiar voice snapped, Stefan felt his heart soar, relief, happiness, joy was filling him. he knew who she was. "And I'm not a vampire-dick-"she shouted "How can I be a vamp and blind? Whore-"
"Shut up vampire-"the man spat before storming out.
"Ava?" the blond froze hearing her name,
"No it's Santa Clause idiot-"Ava rolled her eyes,
"Oh my god-"Elena cried, "You're alive-"she declared her hands were splayed forward and she could feel the cold hard floor beneath the pads of her fingers. She groped around and felt the bars…lovely it felt like she was in a kennel or something.
"You-
"Ava-I swear to god-I can't believe it-"Stefan grinned he wanted to reach out and touch her…almost as if to check out if she was real. No matter what went down tonight…he didn't care as long as the fairy was here.
"Well open your eyes Stef-"Ava winced and moved herself so that she was leaning back against the wall. The men had put her in the cell besides Rebekah, meaning Elena and Stefan could both see her. The couple seemed to be drinking her image in. Unlike them though, there was no concrete wall that separated her and Rebekah.
"What's wrong?" Stefan asked immediately, seeing her wince in pain.
Ava clutched her torso, the car did some damage. Every time she inhaled it hurt, the vampire now noticed the gash across her temple, and the scrapes on her skin. "I got run down by a car-"she groaned.
"What?" Stefan growled.
Ava licked her lips, bloody hell she was thirsty as well. "Forget that, what's going on here? Yo Elena I heard you're a vamp-"
"Forget about the doppelganger." Rebekah interrupted "how are you here? You're dead-"
Ava rolled her eyes "So it's ok for everyone else to come back from the dead, Jeremy, Elena but when it comes to me I get the third degree-"
"Ava-"Elena said sternly, well as much as she could do at the moment.
Ava frowned…"Fairy Magic is a wonderful thing. So whose great idea was it for Elena not to feed when she got the chance?" she asked.
Some time passed, Stefan was getting more and more worried, he had Elena besides him, who sounded as if she could barely breathe, and then there was Ava opposite him, who was going dangerously pale. The hit from the car, must had done more damage than they thought.
"Ava keep your eyes open-"Rebekah urged her,
"I can't see Bekah-what's the point-"Ava asked, it hurt to breathe now.
"Where-Ava where did you go? The other side or-"Stefan asked, leaning against the bars. He needed to figure out a way to get some human blood for his girlfriend as well as taking Ava to the hospital.
A smile appeared on Ava's face, she was concentrating on breathing. "I went to Fae World, it was amazing…I could see and there was air, my parents were there-"she said. "You know they gave me a choice? I could stay there, or come back-"she wheezed. Ava pressed her flushed face against the cold brick wall. "You know it sucks…I come back to only go out like this-the drowning was far better-so dramatic-"she laughed weakly.
Stefan cleared his throat "You know that destroyed Damon-you dying…."
Ava hummed, she could hear Elena's jagged breathing and leant her head back. Rebekah was watching the conversation on in silence. "Hmm…I know I saw…that's why I came back you know…for him…and for you lot. Whatever happens-"she groaned feeling a pang of pain flaring up. "It's the best decision I made…"Ava uttered. "Tell him to take care of Coco and-"
"You're not dying. Not again-"Stefan snapped. "Neither of you-"he said to Elena.
Ava sighed "Alright Steffy keep your tits on" she mumbled. "Let's just sort Elena out first…I got a plan." she added.
The fairy blinked when the barn doors slammed open, Rebekah looked over to Stefan, and she had witnessed the heart-warming conversation between the doppelganger and the youngest Salvatore. When they saw a guard passing them, a look was exchanged.
"I got this-bring the other one in-"the guard instructed. Ava's ears twitched hearing that…was Damon here?
"Excuse me-"Rebekah shouted "Hello?" the guard stormed towards her.
"What?" even Ava could detect the hate coming from the man, the blood shuffled forward her hands were pressing against the cold bars. As soon as the cold metal were pressed against her feverish skin…she felt almost relieved. "I thought I told you to shut up-"
"So rude-"Ava mumbled
"You shut up-"he turned the gun on the fairy.
"Assehole-"
"Here's the thing-"Rebekah shouted over the mouthy blond. "My family, they have money, castles, apartments, jewels. Name your price." She offered, her eyes darted over to Stefan who was waiting in the wings.
"I'd much rather watch you die-"the man spat and only jumped back a few steps when Rebekah snarled through the bars. He wasn't close enough for Stefan to grab.
"Ava do it now-"the Salvatore vampire shouted.
Ava frowned "That's not nice." She decided to try something…this should work. She felt the magic in her blood, and pushed herself forward so she was on her knees, she gripped tightly onto the bars. "I want you to put your arm through the bars, and let Elena feed from you." she said into his mid. Stefan didn't miss the way her eyes seem to lighten as she did this. Ava felt empowered….her blood was pumping in her veins.
"What-what's happening-"the man shouted, he felt his body moving on its own accord…"Manny-Manny-"he shouted at him pain, when Elena sank her fangs into his wrist.
"Ava-"Stefan shouted
"Don't-"the guard rushed in
"What the hell are you doing?" Manny shouted.
"It's her-the blond-she is using some vampire tricks-put her down-"he shouted.
"NO-"Manny fired the gun; Ava's hold over the man was gone as the bullet pierced her skull. She landed on her back, Rebekah gasped seeing the fairy's eyes were wide and staring up at the ceiling. They were glassy. There was no heartbeat.
"AVA" Elena screamed, the man she had been feeding from attempted to flee but no one expected Damon to come and tear the man's head off.
"Brother-"Stefan didn't respond. Damon looked over to where everyone was staring and his heart skipped a beat. "Ava-"he shouted and easily tear the gate off of its hinges. He dropped beside Ava's still form. "What what-"
"She-she was alive Damon…"Stefan said as Matt limped into the barn. "She-"
"She came back for you." Rebekah swallowed as the jock let them out.
Damon looked up at them, with tears in his eyes. "What? But-"
"She had a choice. She chose you-"Elena said tearfully, they had just got Ava back…and in some cruel twist of fate they lost her. Damon lifted her face to his and nuzzled into her warm skin.
"No-I failed her again-"the raven head vampire growled, "I should-should've been here. Please god Ava, just come back and I'll do this right" he promised. His large hand cupped her face. Damon pressed his broad thumb across her plump lips. "Just wake up." he begged her.
"God damn it Ava, did you bloody die again?" Claudine scowled.
"Erm…wait why can't I see this time?" Ava asked, once again feeling he grass in-between her toes. She was back in the Fae world, and it sucked.
"Because you're not really dead-"
"I got shot in the head, that's dead" Ava scoffed folding her arms across her chest.
Claudine sighed, "Well…yeah that happened. But Ava remember when we said human laws won't apply to you? yeah…you sort of can't die. Not permanently at least." She added.
Ava's jaw dropped "What? So what every time I die I go to the other side or-"
"This is your other side. we're not like the mortals, they have a depressing little thing. You made the choice to go back on earth…and you're bound there now." Claudine uttered "And tell Damon try not to rip every pair of panties you own." She added.
Ava puffed out some air. "What-wait I'm stuck at seventeen-that's shit-"she grumbled.
"Also-supernatural substance should do…take it from Damon. Since it's such a personal thing…it'll heal those cracked ribs right up-by Ava-"once again Ava was pushed into the water, and she kept falling.
"Damon-Damon look-"Stefan said, Elena was seeing to Matt, and the eldest Salvatore was still clutching onto Ava, Damon peered down and watched as the bullet that was imbedded into Ava's temple, slowly pushing itself out.
"It's like the terminator-"
"Shut up jock-"Damon barked and the bullet hit the ground. All four vampires could hear Ava's heart restarting, the fairy gasped and choked on some air.
"Ava-"Elena grinned
"What-is Damon?" she could recognised scent from anywhere.
"I'm here-I'm here-"Damon hugged her close, breathing her in. "How are you here?" he said pressing his lips into the crook of her neck.
"Fairy Magic, Ava is immortal now, once they die they go on the other side…and a choice is made." Rebekah said, "Good to have you back Ava." And she was gone.
Damon looked down at Ava, and was about to press his lips against hers, but he was shoved off of her, and Stefan hugged her hard.
"Fucking Stefan. She's mine go hug your own girlfriend." Damon growled he wanted to get his fairy home..
Ava found herself in the claw-foot bathtub. They had gotten home, and the fairy was adamant about cleaning herself…she was under water, knocked down…and in a bloody freezer. She needed a good bath.
"I'd never thought I'd see this again-"Damon drawled.
"Me bathing…sad-"
"No you being here. "He cut her off, and knelt down in front of her. The water lapped at Ava's warm skin. "I missed you-you know I was contemplating ending it all-I thought-I couldn't handle. You're my world-"he cupped her face. "I-"he kissed her cheek, Ava sighed feeling the familiar sparks travelling all over herself. "Would-"he kissed her other cheek, and then her nose "Have-"he got her eyelids, Ava giggled "Benn so lost-"he pulled back, Ava could feel his breath against her lips "without you."
"Just kiss me-"she demanded. There was enough faffing around and Damon didn't waste any time and pressed his lips against hers. It was hard, passionate, and loving. He couldn't get enough. And placed his hands on her shoulders. He pulled back and pressed his head against her. "Room for one more-"
"Well-"Ava felt her curls move a bit and cocked an eyebrow "Oh my god-you're naked aren't you-?"
"Yep-and standing fully-"
"Damon-"the fairy blushed, making him laugh. For the vampire the world now felt right…everything tilted back to normal for him.
"Whoa-whoa I-"
"I'm coming in-unless you want-"
Ava scoffed "No-"she said stubbornly "This is my bath. I'm not letting you steal it." she declared. Damon smirked he was banking on it. So he gently pushed her forward and settled behind the fairy. His large hand stroked her back, and she seemed to relax at his touch.
Ava leant back, his thighs were on either side of hers, and he wrapped his arms around her. He brushed his fingers over her scrapes. Causing her to stiffen,
"Ava? What-"
"Bite into your wrist-"she wanted to check something, she was so overwhelmed by coming back she didn't think of this before.
"You can't have vampire blood-"Damon frowned,
"No-Gran said something…I should try it with you." Ava said determinedly,
"You sure?"
She nodded against him. Damon bit into his wrist and pressed it against Ava's lips, she groaned and pressed her lips harder against his wound. He felt his own arousal rising as she did this. His fangs unleashed and he buried it into her shoulder drinking from her. They were blood-sharing. She pulled back, and Damon's fangs clicked out and he licked his lips. Right before Damon's eyes her scrapes and bruises healed.
"You-you're all healed up-"he said confused. "Can you see-?"
"No…I think I can only feed from you….they said I won't be able to get my sight back regardless." It was a sacrifice but she didn't care.
"Good because you're mine…and you'll be only be drinking from me."
"Caveman." She grumbled but there was a smile on her face. Damon pressed his lips to the back of her head…a blond bond was forming, he could feel it in his bones, unlike the sire-bond, this wasn't at all sinister.
Damon and Ava had a connection…and it was only strengthen. She still had her own free-will. And of all the people the vampire come across he was delighted when it was Ava who had that special connection with him.
A minute passed "You're thinking." Damon rested his chin on her shoulder; the tip of his nose skimmed the side of the jaw.
"I can't really die…you're stuck with me-"
"Forever-we're together forever." The elder Salvatore said, "I'm not letting you go my little Fae." He kissed her throat causing a quiet moan to leave her lips. "You really chose me huh?"
Ava smiled; she was revelling in his touch. The water was warm, but Damon sent her on fire. "It wasn't a hard choice to make." She admitted. "Eternity Damon you ready?"
"More than anything. As long as you're by my side." He nipped her shoulder "Just don't go bat-shit crazy….but we'll get through this Ava. We get through anything-"
"Because we're awesome?" Ava laughed and felt Damon's hand sliding up her thigh,
"Yep-"his other hand thumb brushed her breast, causing her to sink into him. "You're always my number one; remember that every time I am being a dick."
"That's a lot then huh?"
"Cheeky-"Damon shifted around, Ava squeaked when he forced her legs apart so that she was straddling his thighs. "But you're my badass fairy." He leant up, and pressed his lips against hers…he wanted to share breath with the woman he love, especially after thinking he was never going to do it again.
Ava moved her lips against his, and bit down on his bottom lip causing Damon to groan. His soapy hand stroked her rear before resting on her thigh.
She gasped allowing to slip his tongue onto her mouth. Ava could feel her cheeks heating up…his tongue massaged hers and he pulled back, when Ava needed to breath.
Damon pushed back her damp curls and his eyes roamed her face, "You're stunning-"he said sincerely.
Ava smiled shyly "You're a sap." She countered her arms were wrapped around his neck.
Damon placed the flat of his tongue on the side of her throat and slid it upwards; he couldn't get enough of her taste. "Who's madly in love with you…" he nudged his nose against hers. Ava rested her temple against hers.
"Guess we're just two crazy fools then huh?"
"You bet your sweet ass princess." Damon kissed her again, he could kiss her forever. "And I'm going to rock your world tonight-"he promised darkly. Ava's legs tightened around his thighs. Causing Damon to groan, he noticed something over Ava's shoulder and huffed.
"What?" Ava asked.
"Your freaking dog is staring at us-"Damon scrunched up his nose seeing the chocolate Labrador puppy gaping at them. "It's weird-"
"Oh my god Coco-"Ava shrieked causing the vampire to wince "I-"she went to get up, but Damon tugged her down hard causing the water to spill over the edge of the tub.
"No we're going to have sex, and Coco isn't coming into our bedroom tonight-"He snapped, Ava bit her lip and giggled
"You're a weirdo-"
"Your weirdo-"Damon kissed her, "Now come on-"Ava kissed him back just as hard. She was glad to be back home…her home was wherever Damon was.
AN: The Long awaited chapter of Ava's world. Apologies for any grammar of spelling mistakes. Thanks for those who reviewed, favourtied...and so on.
So in this Chapter-The beginning Fae world, We see the Xenias, Ava is told she should be with Damon, but there will be consequences Ava won't get her sight back since she left that world blind. But she did see Damon, and calls him Hot. (I personally think, Ava being blind is what makes her who she is and special). Claudine pushes her into the lake where she keeps falling. We see how Damon is coping...he isn't, he calls Elena a selfish bitch and wishes she died instead. Damon is jealous of Stefan having his woman whilst the one he love is gone. Matt is upset about what happened. Rebekah didn't know Ava was in the car, and genuinely upset, Damon leaves her with an arrow in her chest. Matt arrives at the Gilbert, and Damon attacks. Meredith finds Ava in the morgue, and she gets mistaken for a vampire...and is taken. Stefan is happy and promises to get her out. Some Fairy magic, and Ava is shot, Damon is heart-broken, Claudine tells her more, and says she's not permanently dead...she's immortal...and DAVA reunion where she takes his blood, Blond bond form. He's the only vampire she can drink from. And Coco makes a brief appearance. And Damon shows her how much he misses her.
Next Chap-Ava antics-a memorial...and some smutty Dava moments.
