The Salvatore Sister • Ava Rose Salvatore

50

(Ava's POV)
Three weeks of being human. Human life hasn't been pleasant at all. The first week of being human I got sick. I had to learn how to defend myself because I made a lot of enemies during my time as a vampire. Two weeks into being human I got a tattoo while drunk. Then there's my husband who's been distancing himself from me more and more each day and I don't know what to do. My marriage feels like a house of cards. One touch and it'll all come crashing down. Just so that I don't feel like my marriage is crumbling to pieces I hang out my brothers some of the time and then rest of the time I spend shopping at the mall to distract myself. I'm out of the house by morning and come back at night. It's been like that for over fourteen days and Nik doesn't text or call me.

This is my third week of being human. I walk down the stairs of the mansion and open the front door when Nik was just about to open it. We stared at each other like we were having a stare off and after a moment he walks past me and I just shake my head as I grabbed my keys to the car before leaving.

Right now I'm at the mall again. I've been here every day. I'm looking through clothes boredly. "Ava." I heard someone say and I automatically know who it is so I don't bother to turn around.

"Elena." I said unbothered to turn to look at her as I continued to look through the clothes. "How's life?

"Hmm, great." She smirks as she walks closer to me.

"I assumed my brothers would've been tailing your every move." I said finally turning to look at her. "Sweet little Elena has finally gone dark. Some would say you without your humanity is like a Katherine Pierce wannabe" I smirk and she snickers.

"Human life must suck."

"Tell me about it." I said and it came out as a whispered.

"I have a confession to make." Elena smirks walking closer to me. "The journal where you wrote all about poor Dominic's death. I found in the air vent and left it on your bed hoping for Damon to find and he did." She says and I know she's trying to get a rise out of me but it's not working. "I thought that would make him hate you but it didn't."

"Elena..." I smiled walking even closer to her. "The last time Damon told me he hated me was for killing someone who had those..." I grabbed her chin moving her head side to side as I said, "same features on that pretty little face of yours."

She smacks my hand away and I laughed as I took a few steps back. "Honestly, Ava, you're pathetic."

"I'm pathetic?" I laughed. "Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately? I don't know how I feel." I mocked her voice. "I'm betting you loved Damon long before Stefan even notice you catching feelings for another man let alone his brother. It was actually really simple. You either love Stefan or didn't. But you being... well the pathetic person you let him believe you were still in love with him."

She quickly grabs me by the throat and I smirked. I can tell she's using her vamp-hearing. "Did you expect me to be afraid of you? I mean, you?" I laughed as she grabs my neck tighter picking me up from the ground. I'm still smirking even though I can't breathe.

"Poor defenseless Ava."

My face drops and Elena smirks grow bigger as she thinks I'm afraid of her but I'm actually afraid of the person behind her. The person behind her grabs her by the neck and throws her to the ground along with me.

My back is laid flat on the ground and I see a guy with a smirk on his face looking down on me."Hello, Ava."

I closed my eyes and sigh, "Crap."
