The Loss[]
Ava was part of the newest crop of recruits to the Mikaelson Family. She was a young woman to whom Elijah took a liking, and he eventually turned her into a vampire, becoming lovers in the process.
Elijah had followed her trail through the woods since he knew her habit of going through them to find victims. He had followed each clue to the next until he almost stumbled over her prone body before he saw it. He brushes her hair away from her face to see her green eyes open and staring, fixed on whatever had hunted her down and murdered her. He jolts back and notices that she had a hole in the middle of her chest and also covered with scrapes and fine scratches, as if she had run instead of fighting against her attacker. After cradling her in his arms, Elijah is attacked by a woman and sees that the woman is eating Ava's heart.
