Chapter 11: Bloodlines

Ava's trying to get ahold of Elena, but she's not answering, and she leaves a message saying, "Elena. It's Ava. I know that picture must have confused you. But I can explain. I need to explain, so please when you get this, call me."

The next day, Ava tries calling Elena again and but instead of Elena, it's Damon and he says, "Elena's phone." Ava says, "Where is she? Why do you have her phone? Is she okay?" Damon says, "Elena? Oh, she's right here. And, yes, she's... fine." Ava says, "Where are you? Let me speak to her." Ava hears Damon say, "She wants to talk to you." Damon then gets back on the call with Ava, and he says, "Yeah, I, you know, I don't, I don't think she really wants to talk to you right now." Ava says, "Damon, I swear to God, if you touch her--" Damon cuts her off and says, "You have a good day. Mm-hm. Bye now." Damon hangs up and Ava sighs and angrily throws her phone across the room. Ava looks down at Elena's necklace worried about what Damon's going to do to Elena now that she doesn't have vervain protecting her. Later, Ava's at school and she sees Bonnie and she walks up to her and says, "Bonnie. Hey." Bonnie looks at Ava and says, "Hi." Ava says, "I, uh, haven't seen you lately. How are you doing... with everything?" Bonnie says, "I-I'm fine. All's fine." Ava says, "Good." Bonnie says, "Yeah. Are you back in school?" Ava says, "No, actually I came here to find you. I was hoping you could help me with something. A spell." Bonnie sighs and looks at Ava and says, "Ava, look, I know Elena's okay with all of this, and I appreciate what you did to help me, but I'm not really ready to dive into it with you just yet." Ava says, "I understand that, but I need your help. It's Elena. And she's with Damon." Ava and Bonnie then go sit at a bench and Ava says, "I have Elena's necklace. I was just hoping you can use this to make some sort of a connection. I just need to know that she's okay." Bonnie says, "How do you know I can do this?" Ava says, "Because I've known a few witches over the years. I've seen what they can do." Bonnie says, "I'm still new at it." Ava softly says, "It's okay. Give it a shot." Ava places the necklace in Bonnie's hand and she says, "Okay. Alright." Bonnie concentrates on the necklace and Bonnie sighs and says, "There's nothing. Nothing's happening. Usually there's an image or... Tell me if anyone's looking." Ava says, "Okay." Bonnie then gets out a leaf and lifts her hand over it and nothing happens. Bonnie sighs and Ava says, "What is it?" Bonnie says, "Something's wrong." Ava says, "With Elena?" Bonnie says, "With me. There's something wrong with me. I have to go. I'm sorry, Ava. I can't help you." Bonnie then rushes away, and Ava sighs a little worried about Bonnie. Later, Ava calls Elena and Ava says, "Elena, is that you?" Elena says, "I'm here." Ava says, "Where are you?" Elena says, "You lied." Ava says, "Not until I explain, please." Elena says, "So, you didn't lie?" Ava says, "Just tell me where you are so that I can come get you." Elena says, "How am I connected to Katherine, Ava?" Ava says, "I honestly don't know." Elena says, "And I'm supposed to believe that?" Ava says, "It's the truth, I... Listen." Then Elena hangs up on Ava and Ava sighs frustrated. Later, Ava goes to Bonnie's and knocks on the door. A woman opens the door and Ava says, "Hi." The woman says, "Can I help you?" Ava says, "I'm Ava. I'm a friend of Bonnie's." Ava shakes the woman's hand, and she continues to say, "Her dad told me that she might be here." The woman says, "She was. Not anymore." Ava says, "Do you know where she went?" The woman says, "No. But you do." Ava says, "I'm sorry?" The woman says, "I told her to face down her fear and I'm sensing now that you know exactly why she was scared. You know what I am. And yet you offered me your hand which means you wanted me to see that I can trust you." Ava says, "Can you?" The woman says, "I trust you'll keep her safe. Better be on your way, then. I'm not going to invite you in. Sure, you understand why." The woman closes the door and Ava goes to find Bonnie. Later, Ava goes to a ruin under the old church and jumps down to find Bonnie and Bonnie turns around frightened and she screams until Ava calms her down and says, "Bonnie! Hey, Bonnie. It's me. Ava." Bonnie breathes, "Ava. The ground gave away, and I fell." Ava softly says, "It's okay. It's okay. Calm down. Come on, let's get you out of here." Bonnie says, "How?" Ava softly says, "Just close your eyes. Trust me." Bonnie closes her eyes and Ava turns Bonnie and Ava wraps her arms around Bonnie and jumps out of the hole. Ava lets go of Bonnie and Ava says, "You can open your eyes now." Bonnie opens her eyes and says, "Whoa!" Ava says, "I didn't want to scare you." Bonnie says, "How did you know where I was?" Ava says, "Well, your grandmother told me what you were doing, and I guessed the where." Bonnie says, "I heard them. Down there. Behind the door. Are they in pain?" Ava says, "In the beginning yes. But not anymore. They've starved to the point of desiccation." Bonnie says, "But if they have blood, they'll--" Ava cuts Bonnie off and says, "That's not going to happen, Bonnie. They can't get out; Emily saw to that when she had you to destroy the crystal. You're safe." Later, Ava takes Bonnie to her grandmother's, and she says, "Well, now, look who's returned from battle." Bonnie hugs her grandma, and her grandma says, "Can I talk to your friend for a minute?" Bonnie nods and as Bonnie walks away, she turns around to look at Ava and she says, "Thank you." Ava nods with a soft smile and Bonnie's grandma says, "I appreciate your help, Ava." Ava smiles and says, "You're welcome... Sheila." Shelia smiles and says, "I wasn't sure you remembered." Ava says, "October 1969." Shelia says, "I was barely a teenager." Ava says, "And you were leading what was probably the only anti-war sit-in within miles of Mystic Falls. You know when you spoke... people were mesmerized. I know I was." Sheila says, "Until the cops showed up. You took a big risk coming to see me earlier. Letting me read you, realize who you were. It could have gone in a completely different way." Ava says, "Well, your family has a... very long history of keeping my secret. I knew that I could trust you if you believed that I was worthy of your trust." Sheila says, "Bonnie knows, doesn't she?" Ava nods and says, "Yes." Sheila says, "Well, please understand, that our loyalty can only extend so far. This town won't be easy on any of us if they figure it out. And I'll protect my own before anybody else." Ava nods and says, "I know that." Sheila says, "As long as we're clear. Goodnight, then." Ava says, "Goodnight, Sheila." Sheila closes the door and Ava leaves.

The next day, Ava's in her room sitting on the couch reading a book, when Elena walks in and she says, "Hi." Ava puts the book down and says, "Hi." Elena says, "You could have told me." Ava says, "I wanted to tell you." Elena walks over and sits next to Ava and says, "You said no more lies. Only the truth. I can handle the truth, Ava. As crazy as it is, I can... handle the fact that you are a vampire. And you have... a vampire brother and that my best friend is a witch. I accept the fact that the world is a much more mysterious place than I ever thought possible but this... the lie, I cannot take. What am I to you? Who am I to you?" Ava says, "You are not Katherine. You are the opposite of everything that she was." Elena says, "And when did you figure that out? Before you kissed me? Before we slept together?" Ava says, "Before I met you." Elena says, "What?" Ava says, "The first day of school... when we met. It wasn't for the first time, Elena." Elena says, "Then when was it?" Ava says, "May 23, 2009." Elena says, "But that was..." Ava says, "That was the day your parents' car... went off the bridge. " Elena says, "You were there?" Ava says, "Every couple of years that I come back here... to see Zach and see my home. And last spring... I was out in the woods... by old Wickery Bridge. And I heard the accident. All of it. I was fast getting there, but not fast enough. The car was already submerged. Your dad... he was, uh, still conscious. I was able to get to him, but he wouldn't let me help him... until I helped you." Elena has tears in her eyes, and she says, "Oh, my God. When I woke up in the hospital nobody could figure out how I got out of the car. They said it was a miracle." Ava says, "I went back for them. But I was too late, I couldn't... I couldn't save them. When I pulled you out I-I looked at your face and you looked like Katherine. I couldn't believe the resemblance. After that, I spent months making sure that you weren't her. I watched you, I-I learned everything that I could about you and I saw you were nothing like Katherine and I wanted to leave town but, Elena, I couldn't. I couldn't leave without knowing you. I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you I wanted to, but you were so sad and..." Elena says, "Why do I look like her?" Ava says, "It didn't make any sense to me. You were a Gilbert. She was a Pierce. But the resemblance was too similar. And then I learned the truth. You were adopted, Elena." Elena's so shocked she sits down on the couch with Ava next to her. Elena says, "How do you know this?" Ava says, "Your, birth certificate from the city records. It says Elena Gilbert Mystic Falls General. But there's no record of your mother ever being admitted, there's no record of her ever being pregnant." Elena sniffs and says, "What else do you know?" Ava says, "For me to go any further, I would've had to look into the Pierce family, and I couldn't do that, it's too much of a risk. If someone found out I was asking about Katherine... Listen to me, it doesn't matter. You are the woman... that I love. I love you." Elena nods and softly kisses Ava. Ava pulls away slightly and softly says, "Can I show you how much I love you?" Elena nods. Ava takes of Elena's shoes and pulls down her pants. Ava licks a strip on Elena's covered core and rubs her panties against her pussy. Elena softly moans. Ava then pulls the underwear off and starts licking and finger Elena's pussy. Elena moans grabbing Ava's hair tugging it to bring her closer to her pussy. Ava swirls her tongue and adds another finger. Then in seconds, Ava feels Elena's cum on her tongue. Ava licks her lips, and she lays on top of Elena careful not to crush her and passionately kisses her. Ava pulls away with love in her eyes and she says, "I love you so much." Elena smiles and says, "I love you, too." Ava smiles. Later, both girls are in their pjs cuddling in bed with Elena laying on Ava's chest with a soft smile on her face because there's no one she's loved as much as she's loved Ava.
