Avalon's outfit:
Chapter Thirty-Eight
â¡Ghostedâ¡
"You saw a carousel?" Malia asked as she, Avalon and Lydia sat in front of a laptop in the library. "And a big sign that said Canaan. And people disappearing in clouds of smoke." Lydia said making Avalon furrow her brows.
"Do you ever have nice dreams?" She asked and Lydia pursed her lips and shook her head, "We need to go to Canaan." She said and Malia shrugged slightly. "It would be helpful if we knew anything about the place. I keep calling the number for City Hall, and no one answers." She said before unfolding a large map.
"The only map I can find it on is thirty years old. So far, the only thing I know about Canaan is where it is." Malia as she unfolded a map and pointed at a spot she circled and Avalon looked at her girlfriend with raised eyebrows.
"That's all we need to know."
â¡
"We're here." Malia said before she and Lydia glanced back to see Scott asleep next to Avalon. Avalon pursed her lips slightly before shrugging and pinching his nose close, a second later Scott jumped up and took a deep breath. "Where are we?" Scott asked as he glanced around, "According to the GPS, this is it." Malia said from the driver's seat.
They all got out of the car and glanced around. Not a single person in sight, cars rusted over, buildings covered in mold and dust while their walls were cracked, windows broken, plants either dead or overgrown. "This is it. Canaan's a ghost town." Lydia sighed.
A little while later they were walking down a familiar neighborhood. And just like down town, everything was cracked, rusted, broken, overgrown, dead and dirty. "I don't hear a single heartbeat." Scott said and Malia nodded, "I'm not catching any scents." She said making Avalon frown slightly as she glanced around.
"I'm not feeling anyone's presence beside us... I wonder why Stiles would send us here." Avalon said and then all of the sudden one of the lampposts that were still standing flickered making them stop. They glanced at each other before walking again.
Soon enough they walked up to the big Canaan sign that Lydia said she saw in her premonition. Except now it was torn and so dirty that you could barely read it. "This is the place I saw in the mirror." Lydia said and they started looking at some of the stuff that was still on a table, "Awesome." Avalon mumbled.
A metal creaking sound made them look over to see that carousel. They glanced at each other before walking over to it. It was rusted and covered in leaves and vines, but yet the lights were still on and the black horse still looked like it was covered in blood. Scott went to step into the carousel but all of the sudden it came to life and spinning and playing music.
After a little while they had separated and Avalon walked down the street until something caught her eye. "Liam?" She muttered as she followed what seemed like her brother into a house. She glanced around, feeling the heavy atmosphere around the house before slowly walking around.
She noticed her brother standing at the end of a hall with his back towards her making her cautiously walk towards him. "Li?" She asked before grabbing his shoulder and making him turn around. She jumped back slightly when she saw Liam had black blood and mercury lacking from his nose, mouth and eyes.
"This can't real." She whispered slightly before closing her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again her brother was no where in sight making her suck in a deep breath as she glanced around uncomfortably. She shook her head slightly before walking outside but paused for a moment when she saw Malia laying on the ground.
"Malia?" Avalon said as she ran over to her girlfriend before gently grabbing her arms making Malia jump up slightly. "Woah, hey. Hey, Malia." Avalon said calmly as Malia glanced around alarmed, "I- I saw my mom and- and my sister... Theo was here- he shot me." Malia said as she breathed heavily and Avalon grabbed her hands and she shook her head.
"It wasnt real." Avalon said but Malia kept looking around making Avalon gently grab her face to make her look at her. "It was just a hallucination, I had one too. Theo's still in hell with his sister. You're okay." Avalon said and Malia took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
Scott glanced around an empty house until all of the sudden the back door slammed shut making him jump and spin around. "Hey!" He called out before walking over to the door, he walked outside and froze slightly when he saw his mom standing in the backyard.
"Mom?" He asked, slowly walking over to her as she turned around to show a large gash in the side if her head making his eyes widen. She started to walk away and he went to follow until someone grabbed his shoulder making hin spin around to see Avalon, Lydia and Malia.
"It's okay. Your mom's not here." Lydia said making Scott look back to see his mom no where insight. "I saw her... And her head... looked like somebody took a bite out of her skull..." He said and Avalon shook her head, "It wasn't real." She said.
"Yeah, but it felt real..."
"The energy here, it's causing hallucinations. We can't stay here." Lydia said as she started to walk away making them follow. "We can't leave- not until we figure out why Stiles sent us here." Scott said as they walked back out towards the street.
"Who are we going to ask? There's no one here." Avalon said and then Malia pointed at something, "We can ask him." She said making everyone follow her line of sight. At the other side of the street stood a little boy staring at a house. "Hey!" Scott called out making the kid spin around to look at them before taking off down the street. "What do we do?" Lydia asked, "Go after him." Avalon said and then they started running after the kid.
They followed him until he went into a house making the stop for a moment and look at each other before walking into the house. "Hello? Anyone here?" Lydia called out as they slowly walked in. She glanced around until she saw a lady staring at them from the other room making her jump slightly.
"Visitors? I can't believe we have visitors! Oh, Caleb will be so happy to see you. It's been such a long time since he's had anyone to play with." The lady said as she walked into the room with a happy smile. "Oh, you must be thirsty! Come on in and have a seat while I get you something to drink." She said before walking away.
"Seriously? What is with her?" Malia whispered as they slowly followed and Lydia took a deep breath, "She's the woman I saw in the mirror." She said making Avalon look at her with raised eyebrows.
They all sat down at a table in the dinning room and a few minutes later Lenore walked out of the kitchen carrying a try with drinks on it. "This was my mother's lemonade recipe... At least, as much as I can remember. We always served this when we had friends to visit."
They all grabbed a glass but cringed slightly when they noticed stuff floating in the lemonade. Malia on the other had either didn't notice or didn't care as she just chugged it all down.
"We didn't come to visit. We're looking for someone." Malia said once she was finished drinking, "A friend of ours. Maybe you've seen him? His name is Stiles." Scott said and Lenore shook her head. "It's been a while since anyone came through Canaan." She said making Avalon raise her eyebrows, "How long?" She asked and Lenore didn't answer right away.
"Since April 8th, 1987?" Malia asked and she set a piece of paper on the table and Lenore looked at her coldly, "Why would you disturb those things? They don't belong to you." She said. "We need to know what happened." Scott said and Lenore looked over at him.
"There was a picnic, a community party." She said and Avalon raised her eyebrows slightly. "It seems like everyone left in a hurry." Azalea said and Lenore shrugged slightly, "People have been leaving Canaan for a long time. That's the day the last of them left."
"All at once? They all just disappeared?" Scott asked and Lenore looked at him angrily, "I didn't say they disappeared- I said they left." She said and then the table shook making Lydia sit up straight. "Did they leave in a cloud of green smoke?" Malia asked slowly making Lenore slam her hands out on the table and stand up.
"THEY JUST LEFT!" She screamed making Malia, Avalon and Scott look dizzy while Lydia looked at Lenore with wide eyes. "We didn't mean to upset you. We'll go now." Lydia said and they all got up and started walking to the door. As soon as they got up to the door it slammed shut making them slowly turn to Lenore, "No one is leaving. No one is leaving Canaan ever again."
Scott quickly tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. "Scott, open the door! You're a Werewolf." Malia said and Scott looked at her wide eyed, "I'm trying!" He said as he continued to pull on the door. Avalon walked over to him and tried to help him pull it open but it wouldnt budge making her furrow her brows, "What the hell?" She mumbled.
Malia walked over to the window and tried to punch it a few times but the glass didn't break. "What the hell is wrong with this place?" Malia whispered as she walked back over to everyone while they looked at Lenore. Lydia sighed softly and stepped forward, "Lenore? Could you unlock the door, please?" She asked calmly.
"Now that you're here, you need to stay. Caleb likes you." Lenore said and Lydia nodded slowly, "And we like him! But we need to help our town. People are disappearing- Uh, leaving. I mean leaving. You could really help us." She said.
"No one can help you. If they want to leave, they're going to leave. They'll go, and they'll go, and there won't be anything you can do about it." Lenore said before walking past her and over to the table to start collecting the glasses. "Come with me." Caleb said after suddenly appearing in a door way making them look over at him before he walked out the room.
Scott, Avalon and Malia looked over at Lydia who nodded, "Go." Lydia said and they nodded before following Caleb. They slowly walked down the hall and Scott pushed open and door to find Caleb standing in the middle of the floor. Scott glanced at Avalon and Malia before walking down the stairs stopping when his feet hit water.
The girls slowly walked down as Scott glanced around before walking over to a high up window, trying to pull it open but it wouldnt budge. "Caleb, can you help us find a way out of here?" Scott asked as they looked back I've at Caleb who just walked over to a TV and started putting a vhs tape in.
"You have to stay because Mommy said so." He said as he started watching recording of himself and Avalon furrowed her brows and tilted her head slightly. "No, we can't stay. We have to go home." Scott said, "This is home. This is home." Caleb said in a voice that sounded like it was mixed with his and Lenore's before the door suddenly slammed shut making Scott jump.
"Hey, Scott? Come here for a sec." Avalon said making Scott walk over to her and Malia. "Look at the date." Avalon said making both Scott and Malia look at the bottom corner of the TV screen which read: Aug. 12 1985.
"Uh, Caleb? Do you know what year you were born?" Malia asked and Caleb stood up and turned to them, now soaking wet. "1976." He said and Avalon nodded slightly and raised her eyebrows, "And when did you die?" She asked and Caleb didn't answer her just moved to stand on the stairs that now had water pouring down them so did all the wall.
"Am I having another hallucination?" Malia asked and Scott shook his head slightly, "If you are, I'm having the same one." He said and Avalon nodded in agreement. "We've got to get out of here." Scott said and Avalon shrugged slightly, "I've hit a kid once... I got no problem hitting some zombie kid." Avalon said before starting to walk towards Caleb.
All of the sudden Avalon stopped and started gasping for breath as he head shot up to her throat. "You don't look so good." Caleb said before Avalon started coughing up water, still struggling to breath. "Maybe you should sit down." Caleb said as she slowly lowered to her knees making Scott and Malia run over to her while Caleb walked back over to the TV.
"Breathe, Avalon. You have to breathe." Malia said, gently grabbing Avalon's face as she kept coughing up water. "Lydia!" Scott yelled and started running up the stairs but suddenly started struggling to breath as well, Malia following along soon after. "What are you doing to us?" Scott asked weakly, "You're drowning, just like me. Now we can be friends forever." Caleb said.
The three of them struggled to breathing while coughing up water for a moment longer before suddenly being table to suck in a deep breath. "Are you okay?" Scott asked as quickly turned to the girls and Avalon nodded as she grabbed Malia's arm. "Are you guys okay?" Avalon asked and both Malia and Scott nodded. "Mommy says you can go now." Caleb said before the door opened on it's own making them glance at each other.
"I hate kids." Avalon mumbled before they quickly ran out up the stairs.
"Let's get out of here." Scott said as they met Lydia outside, "Yeah, absolutely." Lydia said before stopping to look back at Lenore and Caleb. "You know, you can still come with us." Lydia said and Lenore smiled softly and shook her head, "I couldn't leave Caleb." She said and Lydia sighed. "Lenore, you know he's not real." She said and Lenore looked down at him then back at them and shook her head, "I couldn't leave Caleb." She said.
Avalon took a deep breath and shook her head slightly, "I've removing my uterus as soon as possible." She mumbled.
"You guys think Stiles sent us here to warn us? Maybe Beacon Hills is gonna be the next ghost town." Scott asked as they started driving back to Beacon Hills. "If we don't stop it, yes. We need to get them to leave. Now." Malia said and Lydia sighed and shook her head as she looked out the window.
"We can't. Not yet." She said making Avalon look back at her, "Why can't we get rid of them?" She asked. "Because I saw what happens to the people they've taken when they leave." Lydia said. "Do they all die?" Malia asked and Lydia shook her head, "No... It's something worse than death. I felt it in Lenore's memory. It's like their soul's hollowed out. They became something else. I... I think they became Ghost Riders. And then... they were gone."
Not long later they pulled up to Scott house. Scott walked inside only to freeze when he walked into the kitchen. "Somehow, I don't think we're gonna hug this out..." Theo said as he turned to look at him.
Outside, Lydia, Avalon and Malia where walking up to the house when Malia and Avalon looked at Lydia. "Are you okay?" Avalon asked and Lydia nodded, "I'm fine." She said but they just gave her a look making her sigh. "Okay, I was thinking about Lenore. There's myths about the Wild Hunt and the Morrigan. They left Lenore behind." Lydia said and Malia raised her eyebrows.
"I thought Lenore was a Banshee?" She asked and Lydia nodded slightly, "The Morrigan was a Banshee." She said and realization crossed over Avalon's features, "So, when the Wild Hunt moves on from Beacon Hills..." She trailed off and Lydia nodded.
"I'll be like Lenore. Left behind. Alone."
"I hope you realize it's taking all of my strength to not tear you in half right now." Scott said, staring at Theo and that's when Malia and Avalon walked in. They instantly noticed Theo and Malia let out a low growl, "Hey, Avalon... Hey, Malia... You aren't still upset about the whole shooting and pack thing, are you?" Theo asked and Malia's eyes flashed blue as she let out a roar.

Author's Note:
Okay, so I need one or two love interests for TVD/TO, just not Stefan or Damon.
My idea is a Salvatore sister whose a witch that starts in TVD then goes into TO. It can either transfer over in either season 1 or 2 of TO. But I need a love interest from both shows or just TO.
