Chapter 21: Isobel

Ava steps out of the bathroom with just a towel and she sees Damon on her phone and Damon hands her phone to her and he says, "Elena called." Damon walks out of the room and Ava shakes her head.

Later, Ava and Elena are at school, and they walk into the cafeteria and Alaric walks up to them and Elena says, "Hey, Mr. Saltzman." Alaric says, "Come with me. We need to talk." The couple follow Alaric into his classroom and Alaric tells them that Isobel's in Mystic Falls. A few moments later, Damon walks in. Alaric says, "Damon, thanks for coming." Damon says, "Sorry I'm late. The dog ate my, uh... Never mind. What's all the furrowed brows?" Alaric says, "I saw Isobel last night." Damon says, "Isobel's here? In town? Did you ask about Uncle John? Are they working together?" Alaric says, "No." Damon says, "No, they're not?" Alaric says, "No, I didn't ask." Damon says, "What about the invention?" Alaric says, "Didn't ask." Damon says, "Does she know about the tomb of vampires?" Alaric says, "I don't know." Damon says, "Did words completely escape you?" Alaric says, "No, I was a little too distracted by my dead family vampire wife to ask any questions." Damon says, "What did she want?" Elena says, "She wants to see me, Damon." Ava says, "Alaric is supposed to arrange a meeting. We don't know why or what she wants." Damon looks at Elena and says, "You don't have to see her if you don't want to." Elena softly says, "I don't really have a choice." Alaric says, "She's threatening to go on a killing spree." Damon says, "Oh. I take it that's... not okay with you guys." Elena says, "I want to do it. I want to meet her. If I don't, I know I'll regret it." Later, Ava's at the Grill and she's sitting afar watching Elena and Elena looks at Ava and says, "Can you hear me?" Ava nods and Elena says, "Thanks for coming. I'm nervous. But I'm happy that you're here. Love you." Ava softly smiles and mouths "I love you, too." Then Isobel's here and she sits down in front of Elena and Isobel says, "Hello, Elena. You look just like her. It's eerie." Elena says, "You've met Katherine?" Isobel says, "She found me after I turned. Genetic curiosity, I suppose. She would be fascinated by you." Elena says, "Is that how you can walk in the day?" Isobel says, "Katherine helped me obtain it." Elena says, "Who's my father?" Isobel says, "Not important. He was a teenage waste of space." Elena says, "A name would be nice." Isobel says, "It would, wouldn't it? You ask a lot of questions." Elena says, "Why did you compel that man to kill himself after he told me to stop looking for you?" Isobel says, "Traumatic impact. Wish it would have been more effective." Elena says, "Human life means that little to you?" Isobel smiles and says, "Means nothing to me. It's just part of being what I am." Elena shakes her head and says, "No. It's not. I know other vampires. That's not true." Isobel says, "Your girlfriend over there by the pool table? Avangeline Salvatore. Why Avangeline? Why didn't you go for Damon? Or do you enjoy them both? Like Katherine did." Ava sighs and looks down. Elena says, "Why did you want to meet me? It can't be to just catch up." Isobel says, "Because I'm curious about you. But the real reason is I want what your uncle wants. Jonathan Gilbert's invention." Elena says, "How do you know about my uncle?" Isobel says, "I used to spend a lot of time here when I was younger. John had a crush on me for years. He was the first one that told me about vampires." Elena says, "So, what made you want to be one?" Isobel says, "It's a very long list of reasons, Elena all of which I'm sure you've thought about." Elena shakes her head and Isobel says, "That was your first lie. It's inevitable. You're going to get old. Avangeline won't. Forever doesn't last very long... when you're human." Elena says, "I'm sorry, but I don't have what you're looking for." As Elena gets up, Isobel grabs her arm and says, "Sit down, and tell your girlfriend to walk away." Ava makes her way to Isobel, when Elena shakes her head at Ava to stand down and Ava sighs, but does as she's told. Isobel says, "I want the invention." Elena says, "I don't have it." Isobel says, "I know that. But Damon does. And you're going to get it for me." Elena says, "He's not going to give it to me." Isobel says, "Then the blood will be on your hands." Isobel gets up and grabs her stuff and she says, "It was nice meeting you, Elena." Isobel walks away and Ava walks up to Elena, and she sees Bonnie. Elena looks to see Bonnie staring at Ava and then Bonnie walks away.
