Chapter 14: Fool Me Once

Ava walks into the study and looks at Damon whose reading their dad's journal and says, "Anna took Elena." Damon says, "Yeah. I got that from your 600 voicemails." Ava says, "Damon, all night long, every single street in town I've been searching. What if your blood hasn't passed out of her system?" Damon says, "Well, then at least you know you'll see her again." Ava sits in front of him and begs, "Please. What do you know? You were with Anna. You must know where she's living. Just tell me where I can find her." Damon says, "Nope. You can go. Really." Ava sighs and says, "You know, all I can remember is hating you. There might have been a time when that was different, but your choices have erased anything good about you. But see, I also know that you have just as much reason to hate me. This all began with me. Katherine got taken away from you... because of me. And I'm sorry." Damon closes the journal and says, "Apology accepted." Ava says, "So please... just tell me what you know." Damon says, "Huh." Damon reopens the journal and Ava says, "It's Elena, Damon. If you know something... tell me." Damon sighs and gets up and says, "I mean this sincerely. I hope Elena dies." Damon walks past Ava and Ava shakes her head at Damon. Later, Ava's phone rings and it's Elena. Ava worriedly says, "Elena, are you okay?" A familiar voice says, "She's fine... for now. Tell me you have the grimoire, and she'll stay fine." Ava says, "I can get it." Anna says, "Which means your brother has it. And I have the witch. So, one of you had better meet me in the very public town square in 30 minutes, so we can safely discuss how fun it's goanna be to work together." Anna hangs up and she looks towards Damon, and she knows he's been listening, and he says, "Go ahead. Grovel again. Oh, wait, no. I don't care." Damon walks away and Ava sighs. Later, Ava finds out where Elena and Bonnie are from Shelia, and she opens the door and the vampire holding Elena and Bonnie scream because of the sunlight. Ava opens all the curtains and Elena smiles and says, "Ava!" Ava says, "Let's get outside." Ava pushes Elena and Bonnie outside and Ava walks towards the vampire and she says, "When the sun goes down leave town. If I ever see you again, I will kill you." Ava then walks out the room. Later, Ava's at Shelia's and her and Elena walk into the room where Bonnie and Sheila are and Elena says, "So, what do we do now?" Ava says, "For now, you need to stay here." Shelia looks at Ava and says, "A prisoner, in my own home? I don't think so." Ava says, "I can't protect you if you leave the house." Shelia says, "We'll protect ourselves." Elena says, "We need to let him have Katherine back. He's not going to stop until he gets her. If we help him maybe that ends it." Bonnie looks at Elena and says, "No! He doesn't deserve to get what he wants." Elena says, "What other choice do we have?" Shelia says, "Witches being pulled down by vampire problems. As much as we tried to do to stay out of it. I'll open the tomb. You get your brother's girl and destroy the rest with fire. Then this will be all over." Ava says, "We still have to get Damon to agree." Elena says, "He already agreed once." Ava says, "Yeah, and then we double crossed him. So, now he's angry." Elena says, "He's hurt. There's a difference. I think I know what I have to do." Later, Ava's at the church with Bonnie and Sheila and she just finished clearing the debris and she says, "Cleared the debris away. Set the torches like you asked. We can get down now." Bonnie looks at two tanks and says, "What is that?" Ava says, "It's everything I need to destroy them." Shelia says, "Are you sure Damon will come back with her?" Then then hear a whistle and they turn to see Damon with Elena. Damon says, "Sister. Witches." Ava looks at Elena and says, "Everything okay?" Elena says, "I just want to get this over with. Are we ready?" Bonnie says, "I guess so." Later, they all are underground and Sheila lights the torches and says, "Air. Earth. Fire." Bonnie says, "Water." As Sheila pours water, Elena says, "That's it just water from the tap?" Sheila says, "As opposed to what?" Elena says, "I just figured maybe you'd have to be blessed or mystical or something." Then Damon pulls out a blood bag and Ava says, "What's that for?" Damon says, "It's for Katherine. Gotta have something to get her going. Unless your girls' offering up a vein to tap." Ava sighs and Damon leans for towards Ava and says, "Admit it... you get wait to get rid of me." Ava chuckles and says, "I can't wait to get rid of you." Damon smiles and says, "Hmm." Bonnie looks at them and says, "We're ready?" Then Bonnie and Shelia hold hands and start chanting the spell. Damon looks at Ava and says, "What are they saying?" Ava says, "Sounds Latin." Elena says, "I don't think it's Latin." Then the fire expands and Elena leans into Ava and she says, "What's happening?" Then the tomb opens, and Bonnie says, "It worked!" Shelia says, "Of course it worked." Damon looks at Ava and says, "We have some fires to build." Ava looks at Elena and says, "I'm going to go get the gasoline. I'll be right back." Ava then walks away. Ava rushes outside to go grab the gasoline and she hears a voice say, "Dark down there?" Ava looks up to see the vampire who took Elena and Bonnie, and she says, "I thought I told you to leave." The vampire says, "I considered it. Then I thought, screw you." Another familiar voice says, "Hey, hero." Ava looks over to see Anna and she continues to say, "I'm going down there to get my mother." Ava says, "I can't let you do that." Anna says, "Well, Ben's about to make a main course out of Elena's little brother. So, you can stop me or him. Your choice." Anna speeds down into the church. Ava looks at Ben and she says, "Do you really think that she cares about you, hmm? You're disposable." Ben says, "I don't care. She already gave me what I want." Ava says, "Let me guess, "Eternal life?" Are you really that stupid?" Ben says, "You know, I've heard about you. You don't feed. You're not strong enough to beat me." Ben speeds over to Ava and Ava flips Ben on his back and he says, "Is that all you got?" Ava grabs the gasoline, looks at Ben, and says, "No. I got this." Ava blasts fire onto Ben and he screams until he can't no more. Ava then goes downstairs and sees both Elena and Damon gone. Ava says, "Where's Elena?" Bonnie says, "Damon took her inside." Ava says, "What?" As Ava walks towards the tomb, Shelia says, "Ava! If you go in there, you won't come out." Ava looks at Shelia and says, "What did you do?" Shelia says, "Opening the door didn't remove the seal it just opened the door." Ava says, "What's this seal?" Shelia says, "Some seals keep vampires from entering. This one keeps them from... coming out." Ava says, "Elena's human. She can leave. Anna and Katherine can't. Damon can't. You were never planning on breaking the spell, were you?" Shelia says, "I told you. I will protect my own. Elena can get out. That's all that matters." Ava then hears Elena scream, and she runs into the tomb and heads towards Elena. Ava then finds Anna trying to use Elena's blood for her mom and she says, "Let her go!" Ava tears Anna away from Elena and Anna struggles in Ava's hold and says, "No!" Ava then helps Elena up and says, "Go, go. I'm right behind you." Elena runs away and Ava and Anna hear a voice say, "Anna!" Anna gasps and goes to her mom and Ava goes back and she just stands in front of the opening of the tomb and Elena looks at her confused and says, "Ava, what are you doing?" Bonnie looks at Ava and says, "It's going to be okay. We'll fix it." Elena's confused and looks at Bonnie and says, "What is it?" Ava softly says, "I can't." Elena looks at Ava and says, "Can't? Ca-can't what?" Bonnie says, "The spell's still up. We can't get them out... yet." Elena says, "You went in there not knowing if you could come back out?" Ava slowly nods and Elena has tears in her eyes and says, "Oh my God." Ava softly says, "I heard you scream." Elena says, "We can't leave him in there. We promised him, both of us." Ava nods and says, "I know." Shelia says, "Even if we're able to break through the seal we won't be able to hold it for long." Ava nods and goes back into the tomb to look for Damon. Ava finds a frustrated Damon and she says, "Damon." Damon says, "She's not here." Ava says, "What?" Damon angrily throws the blood bag and says, "She's not here!" Ava says, "Damon, we need to get out of here." Damon says, "It doesn't make sense. They locked her inside." Ava says, "If we don't leave now, we're not getting out." Damon says, "How could she not be in here?" Ava says, "It's not worth spending all of eternity down here. She's not worth it!" Then Elena appears and says, "Damon! Please." Damon grumbles and they all run, and they leave the tomb and Ava brings Elena for hug. Ava and Elena run out and go to Jeremy and Ava kneels next to him and feels his pulse and she says, "He's okay. He's alright." Ava looks up when she sees Elena walk over to Damon and Ava watches Elena give Damon a hug. Elena says, "I'm sorry." Later, Elena calls Ava and she says, "I just got to Bonnie's." Ava softly says, "Everything alright?" Elena says, "Yeah. How's Damon? Is he going to be, okay?" Ava says, "I don't know. Can I call you later?" Elena says, "Yeah, of course." Ava walks over to the couch where Damon's sitting, and she sits down just wanting to be there for him.
