Dark Beauty

Chapter 23: The Saving

"Ava! Ava! Get up!! Get up!!" I grunted trying to shake off the annoying pest that was bothering me.

"Go away... I want to sleep.." I muttered.

"Ava! Get Up!" Damon's voice kept shouting in my head.

"Damon, get out of my head... I don't want to talk right now. Just let me die." I lifted my hand and knocked on my head.

"Ava!! Klaus is in trouble!!" Immediately, I shot out of bed and rubbed my puffy eyes. I saw Damon standing over me with concern so I rushed into my closet for clothes. 

"Give me the details. Now." I commanded, buttoning my pants.

"Esther is going to kill the rest of her family. Finn and both the living and dead Bennett witches are helping her. We need your help Ava."

"Is that why you lot brought Esther back?! You dimwits!! I knew something like this would happen! It was too good to be true! Who are the living witches?!" I asked, throwing my top on.

"Bonnie and her mother Abby."

"Well, this is simple. Kill Abby  and the line will be severed." I smirked as I zipped up my boots. "Come on. Show me the way."

*******

"They're in there." Damon pointed to an abandoned house in the woods.

"Okay. Stefan, Damon, I need you to stall Bonnie. I'll take care of Abby." I zoomed into the house in search of Abby, Bonnie's runaway mother. Damon had filled me in on the car drive.

The house was a very old house. Anyone could see. The paint was chipped beyond recollection. The ceiling looked as if it was about to cave in. Even the flooring was torn up. The house reminded me of an old haunted house I use to hear children talk about. This house just reeked of odd vibes. Probably because I could feel the old dead witches powers residing in the walls and the floor. Strange. I looked around for Abby only to spot her standing at the doorway to the basement, I presume. She kept glancing over her shoulder as if she could hear me. Maybe she felt me. As soon as she turned away, I zoomed up to her and bit into my wrist. 

"Drink this." I shoved my bleeding wrist into her mouth long enough for a few blood drops to get into her throat. "This will be quick. I promise." With that, I snapped her neck. Throwing Abby over my shoulder, I walked back to Damon's car and laid her in the back.

"Damon! Get up here!" Instantly, Damon was in front of me. "Abby is in the back and in transition. Take her and Bonnie home safely. All is taken care of for now." He nods in understanding. I run back home in search of the Mikaelsons.

"Where the bloody hell is everyone?" I yelled as I entered the house worrying if I had actually stopped their deaths.

"I'm right here." Rebekah yelled from the study.

"It's over, Ava, Rebekah." Elijah spoke from the window.

"Where's mother?" Oh, poor Bekah. I hate it when her heart gets broken. Elijah turns to look at the both of us.

"We have no mother, only Esther, and Esther was right." Wow, Elijah! Way to take it straight to the point. My heart is crying for Rebekah.

"What do you mean?" She asked. I sat up straight preparing myself to hug Bekah and Elijah.

"All my talk of virtue, when it suits my needs, I kill, maim, and torment. Even today, I terrorized an innocent." Elijah downed himself as he walked away from the window. He was breaking. Slowly breaking. Rebekah as well. They where all breaking. My family was breaking.

"Elena is hardly an innocent." Rebekah spoke sternly.

"And I used your hatred of her to get what I wanted... wielded you like I would a sword.. my sister." He kept murmuring.

"You did it to protect your family, Elijah, and rightly so." I said standing up. "You all deserve to live. You all are better than they are." I placed either hand on Rebekah's and Elijah's shoulder. Elijah turned his head away.

"Mother made us vampires. She didn't make us monsters. We did that ourselves." 

"Elijah. If anyone is to blame about making you all monsters, that is me. I showed you all this way. I made myself this way before any of you have, and it was my fault you turned this way. Do not go blaming yourself for something you could not help. Something that was not your fault." I stared into Elijah's eyes trying to make him realize, but all I saw was sorrow, guilt, and regret. He stared a little bit longer before lowering his head and walking away. 

I watched him leave with sorrow. This is my fault. All my fault. I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder, and turned to see teary eyed Rebekah. I gave her a sad smile, and kissed her cheek. She then followed Elijah's foot steps. This is my fault. My family is breaking piece by piece. Breaking too fast for me too catch up. Too widely broken for me to fix. I need to catch up. I need to fix this, and there is only one way to do so. Esther needs to die.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, guys! So I re-wrote this chapter in hopes of making it better! I thought Ava needed some motivation to try and fix her family. Elena wasn't a great enough mission. What do y'all think about Klaus having affections for Caroline as well as love for Ava in this story? I thought I might have a little competition. I wanted to develop this story farther, so I threw in some competition and an extra mission. I hope y'all enjoy. Another chapter coming soon!!

<3 Gabby
