Ava Salvatore was born on October 31, 1841 to Giuseppe and Lillian Salvatore. She has two brothers, the oldest, Damon and, the youngest, Stefan. Ava had a great life. She was a spoiled child, her father's favorite. You'd think her brothers would be jealous, but they weren't. They adored her, just as her parents and the rest of the town.

Later on in life, though things got tough for Ava. Her father wanted her to marry, but Ava wanted to travel the world. One night she ran off and left her home in Mystic Falls, leaving everybody stunned.

When Ava was twenty three she came home, a feeling deep in her gut that something was awry. She came home to find her brothers both infatuated by the same girl, Katherine Pierce. Ava always was able to read someone when she met them and tell if you if they were a good person or not. Ava did NOT like Katherine one bit. She saw what she did to her brothers and she hated it. She tried to convince them that something wasn't right about her, but they wouldn't listen.

On September 25, 1874, everything changed. Katherine turned both Stefan and Damon into vampires before she became trapped in the tomb of the church. Before her brother Damon left town, always being her favorite of the two brothers, Ava begged Damon to turn her too. So he did, and that's when they both started to travel the world together.

After a number of years, Ava and Damon parted ways. Ava checked up on her youngest brother Stefan when they did. After she left Stefan, believing he would be okay on his own, Ava traveled the world looking for adventure.

Every now and again Ava would search out her brothers and check on them. She'd make sure they were okay, and would leave again out on some adventure. Ava was always looking for something. Love, but she never found it. She thought she was doomed to be alone forever. She almost searched out a friend to change, but didn't want to be a burden or create one.

Ava always searched out for her brothers, they never reached out for her. So, you could expect that Ava was alarmed when her brother Damon found her in present day South Korea, Seoul to be exact. Damon begged her to come home, back to Mystic Falls. Stefan had turned all ripper, again, and his best friend Lexi wasn't there to bring him back from the brink like she did before.

So, Ava packed up and shipped out, back to Virginia, back home to Mystic Falls. When she got there she learned many things. She learned of doppelgangers, werewolves, and the Original Vampires , and of Klaus the werewolf, vampire hybrid. Ava met the doppelganger, Elena Gilbert, who looked just like Katherine. She learned that her brother Stefan was hers before he left with Klaus as Damon was dying from a werewolf bite.

Elena, Ava found, was also secretly loved by Damon. Even if no one realized it yet.

Ava and Damon traced Stefan's way down the coast and into Tennessee. That's where they had a close call with Klaus. Ava was frustrated, she wanted to help her brother but he seemed like he didn't want help. That's what she found when they ran into each other in the mountains of Tennessee.

Later, Damon, Elena, and Ava took a trip to Chicago where Katherine, who was alive, had revealed Stefan and Klaus had been. Ava and Elena tried to convince Stefan to come back. Stefan breaks up with Elena and tells her and Ava he doesn't want to come back.

Ava leaves Chicago and returns to Korea for an engagement she had already scheduled. While she is gone a lot happens. Stefan comes home with Klaus, who finally makes his hybrid. Mikael, Klaus' father, is brought in in attempts to kill Klaus, but Klaus kills him. Stefan steals the coffins of the Originals. Things happen here and there and eventually Klaus get the coffins back. Then, the Originals are released. Klaus moves into town before Ava makes the decision to leave Korea again and return to help her two brothers.

"I leave and everything goes to hell," I say as I walk into the living room of the Salvatore boarding house.

"Welcome back sis," Damon says to me as he gives me a big hug and picks up my suitcases to take to my room.

"Any new developments since I left Korea?" I ask Damon as I follows him upstairs.

"Well this was left on the doorstep," Damon says as he hands me an envelope with an invitation to a ball at the Mikaelson house in it. "I do hope you've got a dress you can wear to it in there."

"I think I can rustle up something," I said with a wry smile.

"Ava," I hear Stefan's voice call from behind us.

"Little brother," I said as I smiled and gave him a hug. I was happy to see he was back to himself after all that had gone on lately.

"You going to this ball the originals are throwing tonight?" Stefan asked as he took one of my bags from Damon and walked to my room.

"Of course," I said with a big smile. "It's time the Salvatore sister shows her face around this place."

"I know it takes you forever to get ready, so you probably should start getting ready now," Damon said to me. The ball was quite a few hours away, but he knew me well.

I went into town and got my hair and nails done at a boutique in town. When I got home I worked on my makeup. I did a glittering gold eye with black eyeliner. My lips were blood red. My dress was white with gold filigree from the top and tapering off at the bottom. It was a ball gown, with a big skirt. I finished it off with gold Louboutins and a pair of matching white gloves.

When I was finished I walked downstairs to see my brothers waiting in suits. They were a handsome bunch. We all looked fantastic.

When we arrived at the ball I wasn't surprised to see Elena. She looked gorgeous in a black and gold ball gown complete with gloves. She loved my gown. I thanked her before I found myself wandering through the crowd.

"So this must be the Salvatore sister," a blonde girl in a green dress said with an accent and a hint of attitude.

"She's a look to rival all, don't you think sister?" a guy with brown hair and eyes said.

"Leave her alone," said a blonde girl with a blue and silver dress said as she joined my side. The other two hesitantly left me alone.

"Rebekah and Kol Mikaelson," she said to me.

"Originals," I said with a nod.

"I'm Caroline," she said with a bright smile.

"Oh yes, I've heard of you," I said with a smile as I bowed before her. So used to being in Korea. She giggled.

A waiter came by with a tray of champagne. I took one and downed it in seconds. Being a vampire meant being a, practical, alcoholic for most. Caroline laughed and said something about talking to Elena, leaving me alone again.

"Has anyone told you that you're the most beautiful girl in the room?" a voice called from beside me. He had an accent, and I just knew it was an original. I looked him up and down. He had curly dirty blonde hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes. I was reluctant to say he was definitely my type. And, then, I automatically knew who it was.

"Klaus Mikaelson," I said as I cocked an eyebrow.

"Ava Salvatore," he said with a smile as he took my gloved hand and kissed it. "It's nice to finally meet you."

Sure he was hot, but he was the enemy, so I put on my most disgusted face I could and said, "I wish I could say the same." This got a cute laugh out of him.

"You know they say one's pupils dilate when they see something they like," he said with a cocky grin. Damn he was good.

"Don't flatter yourself," I said, rolling my eyes. Then, I started looking for another waiter with a tray of flutes of champagne.

"Playing hard to get?" he asked with a grin. "I can work with that."

"Whatever," I said as I tried to walk away, rolling my eyes as I did.

"Come on little Salvatore," he said, his voice actually sounding a tad desperate. "You've come alone haven't you?"

"Yes," I said as I crossed my arms across my best and grinded my teeth.

"There's nothing more I'd love to do than have this dance with you," he said as a song began.

"Fine," I sighed. I just knew he wouldn't leave me alone.

I joined Klaus out on the dance floor. He was a pretty good dancer, classically at least. I was trying to look at anything but him, but he had other plans. Before I knew it, I was staring into his dark blue eyes, mesmerized. I wanted to slap myself, there was no way I was falling for the enemy, but here I was staring into his eyes wanting nothing more than for him to sweep me off my feet and have me all to himself.

It was almost like he read my mind, because he led me off to the dance floor and to another room that was filled with paintings.

"Nice work," I said as I observed the paintings.

"I did them all," he said with a smirk on his face.

"You're good," I said as I turned to him.

"Thank you," he said with a grin.

"You're welcome," I said back with a nod.

"You know I must confess something to you," Klaus said as he furrowed his brown.

"What's that?" I asked. Klaus stood there debating whether he should say what he was about to say. I knew it by the look on his face.

"I had my eye on Caroline Forbes, but when you walked in, that all changed," Klaus aid to me honestly.

"You know my brothers want you dead," I noted.

"I'm aware of that," he nodded.

"Could you imagine what they'd do if they found us alone, you confessing your feelings for me," I said as my thoughts wandered. Yes, my brothers would kill him. But I was a grown woman. I could make my own decisions. I thought Klaus was probably one of the hottest guys I had ever laid my eyes upon. I had my eye on many a guy in the past. But when I looked at Klaus, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I felt like my knees were going to give out on me at any minute. And his voice did things to me, his look too.

"You're a big girl," Klaus said to me. "Your brothers should mind their own business, don't you think?"

"Yes," I nodded as Klaus got closer. A knock interrupted us and a guy with dark brown hair and brown eyes interrupted us. He was another original.

"Mother needs us," he said to Klaus.

"I'm sorry, love,," Klaus said to me. "I'll find you again soon."

I stood there for a few minutes trying to register what had just happened before I freaked the fuck out and quickly ran outside to get some air. Was I falling for an original? The hybrid. The enemy. The one that had made my brothers' lives a living hell since the day he waltzed into their lives. I couldn't, I shouldn't, but then I'd see his smile again in my head and melt all over again.

I stood outside for a while. That's where Klaus found me pacing back and forth trying to reign in my thoughts. Klaus stopped me and steadied me. He looked into my eyes and smiled. I was swooning, again, but I stopped myself and jerked myself from his grip. He looked hurt.

"You're the enemy," I said, my voice uneven. "I, I can't."

"That never kept Romeo and Juliet apart," Klaus said as he caressed my arm.

"And look where that got them," I said as I snatched my arm away.

"Okay maybe that was a bad example," Klaus noted. "That doesn't mean we can't start our own love story."

"You're insane," I said, acting appalled.

"Oh, come on Ava," Klaus said. "I can see it in your eyes. You want me just as much as I want you."

"You don't know what I want," I said as I gritted my teeth and started walking away.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Home," I said as I stomped away.

"Please don't go," he begged.

"I should have never come back here," I said as my eyes stung with tears. Why was I crying?

"When you say home you don't mean here, do you?" he asked. "You're thinking about going back to Korea, aren't you?"

"What makes you think that's any of your business?" I asked angrily.

"Are you seriously about to walk back to the Salvatore place all by yourself?"

"So what? You act as if I'm human. I'm a big girl vamp I can take care of myself. I've done it long enough."

"Ava, please," Klaus begged again.

"I'm not stabbing my brothers in the back," I growled. "Do you realize that's what you're asking me to do. Turn my back on my brothers and fall in love with the enemy. Hell, how do I even know these feelings are real. You're pretty damn manipulative from what I understand. You're probably trying to use me to get back at them!"

"I've been honest with you this whole time," he said as he pulled on my arm and turned me around to face him. "I get it, you're loyal to your brothers. But Ava, you deserve to be happy sometime too."

"How do you know I'm not happy? I love my life. I love Korea. I even have a boyfriend."

"Who? That Korean celebrity your brother mentioned?" Klaus asked. "You actually think that he loves you?"

"Excuse me?" I growled.

"Yes, your younger brother worries about you. Being led on by a guy just for your body. Only calling on you when he wants a piece of you. Is that really what you want?"

I was pissed by this. Who the hell was Stefan to speak about my love life. I wanted to hit my brother for talking about me, but I settled for the closest thing and slapped the taste out of Klaus' mouth. Seungri could love me. Couldn't he?

Klaus looked shocked. And the next thing I know, we're coming together and locking lips. It set my whole body a flame. I was blazing as we pulled away from each other, interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing.

"Where the hell are you?" Damon asked as I answered with reluctance.

"I left," I said to him. "I was bored." Klaus looked at me with a smirk.

"I need to fill you in on a few things," Damon said. "Are you at home yet?"

"No," I lied. "I went for a walk."

"Well, I can tell you later," Damon said, a knowing tone in his voice. I went on walks when I needed time to myself. Damon knew not to hover, not to press. He knew if I needed to talk about something, I'd come to him in due time.

"Okay," I said, trying to sound as normal as possible.

"See you in the morning?" Damon asked.

"Yeah," I said,

"Goodnight Ava," Damon said.

"Goodnight Damon," I replied as I hung up my phone.

"You need something to wear," Klaus said from my side.

"I keep a bag in my car," I said to him. "I'll go get it and you can meet me at the falls."

Klaus smiled, "You can bet on it."
