Chapter 2: The Night of the Comet

Ava's voiceover says, "I'm awake. For the first time in a long time, I feel completely and undeniably wide awake. For once, I don't regret the day before it begins. I welcome the day... because I know... I will see her again. For the first time in a long time... I feel good."

Ava's in history class and Mr. Tanner says, "Originally discovered nearly five centuries ago it hasn't been over Mystic Falls in over 145 years. Now, the comet will be its brightest right after dusk during tomorrow's celebration." After class Ava and Elena are walking the halls and Ava shows the book she brought and says, "I brought it. I told you." Elena reads the book cover and says, 'Wuthering Heights' by Ellis Bell.' You know, I can't believe she didn't use her real name." Ava says, "All the Bronte sisters used pseudonyms. It was the time female writers weren't very accepted then." Elena says, "Where did you get it?" Ava says, "It was passed down through the family." Elena says, "Oh." Ava says, "I've got lots of books. Go ahead, keep it." Elena says, "Oh, no. I... But I would like to read it again. I promise I'll give it back." Ava says, "Okay." Later, Ava's on a bench outside the school listening in on Elena's conversation with Matt and he says, "And now there's talk of some missing campers." Elena says, "Did she say what kind of animal it was that attacked her?" Matt says, "She said it was a vampire." Elena says, "What?" Matt says, "Yeah, she wakes up last night and mutters vampire and then passes out." Elena says, "Okay, that is weird." Matt says, "I think she was drunk. So, what's up with you and the new girl?" Elena says, "Matt, the last thing I wanna do is hurt you." Matt says, "You know, I'm... I'm actually gonna go back to the hospital. I wanna be there when Vicki wakes up. I wanna get the real story about last night." Elena softly says, "Okay." Ava then leaves. Later, Ava goes to the hospital to see Vicki before Matt does, but she sees him in the hallway, and she hides behind a wall. Ava then sees Matt run out the room and she speeds into the room and compels Vicki and says, "It was an animal that attacked you. It came out of the night and jumped you. You blacked out. It's all you remember." Vicki says, "It's all I remember." Ava says, "An animal attacked you. You blacked out. It's all you remember." Vicki says, "It's all I remember." Ava then speeds out the room unnoticed and hears footsteps behind her and she glances behind her to see Matt and she walks into a room full of blood and she goes behind a curtain and jumps out the window and leaves the hospital. Later, Ava's walks into her house and hears Damon say, "I'm a fatalist. Hello, Avangeline." Elena looks at Ava and Ava says, "Elena... I didn't know you were coming over." Elena says, "I know. I should have called, I just--" Damon cuts her off and says, "Oh, don't be silly. You're welcome any time. Isn't she, Avangeline? You know, I should break out the family photo albums or some home movies. But... I have to warn you. She wasn't always such a looker." Ava says, "Thank you for stopping by, Elena. It's nice to see you." Elena notices Ava glaring at Damon and Elena says, "Yeah, I... should probably go. It was nice to meet you, Damon." Damon says, "Great meeting you too, Elena." Damon kisses Elena's hand and Elena walks up to Ava, and she says, "Ava? Ava?" Ava moves out of Elena's way, and she walks out the door. Damon whistles and says, "Great gal. Whoo. She's got spunk. You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess. Hospital." Ava says, "Someone had to clean up your mess." Damon says, "Well, were you successful? Did the powers of persuasion work? Remember, if you don't feed properly none of those little tricks work right." Ava says, "How long was Elena here?" Damon says, "Are you worried, Avangeline? Scared we may be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game 'I'm a high school human?'" Ava says, "I'm not playing any game." Damon says, "Of course you are. We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it." Ava says, "What kind of game are you playing... Damon?" Damon says, "Guess you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?" Damon smiles and walks away.
