After the death of Lizzie, Jordan hadn't been able to face anyone. Even though he wasn't in control of his own actions, he completely blamed himself.
The raven haired boy stood outside, as he couldn't be around everyone anymore.. not while they were crying over Lizzie, a pain that he had caused them.
Ruby suddenly stepped outside. "Jordy, you need to call your Mum." She said, taking a stand beside the witch. "This has got to be your coven's doing." She added. Jordan seemed focused on a certain spot on the ground, as he shook his head in defeat, as the same thought kept going through his head. I killed Lizzie Saltzman.
"Surely Cynthia can do something about this." Ruby suggested as Jordan looked up at her, "Like what— bring Lizzie back? The damage is already done." The Montgomery spoke with a shaky voice. Ruby shook her head, "No.. but you guys can stop anyone else from getting hurt." She insisted.
"To become the leader of my coven, I need to kill twelve supernatural beings. I need to take twelve lives." Jordan explained, his voice still unsteady. "Surely there's a loophole... there's gotta be." Ruby sighed. "There's always a loophole."
Jordan tried to think about it, but struggled.. his mind was still occupied by the earlier events. "Hey... if you can't, I can talk to Cynthia. I'll explain everything." Ruby suggested, as Jordan turned to her with surprise. "You'd really help me, after I just killed your good friend?" He asked, seeming lost for words. Ruby nodded, "I'm going to help you get justice, for Lizzie."

When Cynthia had heard the news, she had packed her bags and come to Mystic falls faster than ever, arriving the following day.
The woman entered the Salvatore school, approaching Alaric's office. The Saltzman looked up, surprised to see her. "Cynthia." Alaric greeted. Cynthia smiled sadly, "Ric, I'm so sorry for your loss." The woman spoke sadly. "I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now." She admitted.
"I promise you, that we're going to get justice for Lizzie... even if it's the last thing that I do."

Ruby exited Josie's dorm, as she had brought her best friend flowers. The pinkette then walked down the hallway, noticing Monica returning to her dorm, holding a mug of coffee in her hand.
"Mon!" Ruby called out, catching up to her. She had barely seen the vampire since Lizzie's death, despite them being roommates. "How are you doing?" Ruby asked as Monica just sighed, "Next question."
Ruby's shoulders sunk, as she followed Monica into their dorm. "Mon, if there's anything that I can do for you, please let me know okay? You're my best friend and I—" Ruby was cut off as Monica had blurted out, "What the fuck?"
Ruby stepped around Monica, confusedly before she followed her line of sight, being the blonde's bed. "I put Lizzie's body here.." Monica explained before she approached the bed, finding a chain lying on it, that had an empty vial attached to it.
An empty vial of Monica's blood.
"What is that?" Ruby asked, as Monica picked it up. "Oh my god.." The vampire blurted out in realisation. "I... I gave Lizzie a vial of my blood, incase anything ever happened and.. she must of ingested it before she was killed." She admitted.
The Montgomery span around, her tear stained face meeting Ruby's. "Lizzie is alive!" The blonde realised. "That's riiiight." A voice hummed, causing the two best friends to look up, their eyes landing on Lizzie who had just entered the dorm.
Monica let out a shaky exhale, as her feet began to move for themselves as she approached Lizzie, throwing her arms around her tightly. "My love... you're really here—" She blurted out, as Lizzie hugged her back.
"I am, I just... I need to complete my transition." Lizzie confessed, as she remained in Monica's arms, refusing to be the first to let go. Tears rolled down Monica's cheeks as she held onto her girlfriend, feeling beyond relieved that she was alive.
Ruby smiled sadly at the pair, though she also found herself relieved the Saltzman was alive.

Time had passed, and Monica had helped Lizzie to complete her vampire transition. "That was really gross." Lizzie confessed, wiping blood away from her mouth.
"Yeah... it takes a bit of getting used to." Monica laughed awkwardly, before looking at the stranger they'd compelled to stay quiet, so that Lizzie could feed from them.
"Do you want to try compelling them to forget about this?" The taller blonde then suggested as Lizzie nodded before she glanced at the stranger and looked into their eyes.
"You will forget this ever happened, you'll get back into your car and continue driving to your destination." Lizzie spoke, as the stranger seemed to comply. With that, the blonde haired girlfriends left the scene, as their victim went on their way.
"I can't believe I'm dead." Lizzie finally said, feeling weirded out by the idea that she was alive but technically dead. "It's definitely a weird concept, right?" Monica replied before she sighed, "I'm sorry this happened to you though baby... Jordan wasn't in con—"
"I know, Mon." Lizzie smiled weakly, "And I would never blame him... I do feel bad for him though, it must be scary to suddenly be possessed." She trailed off.
"Hey... at least now we can be together, forever." Lizzie offered, trying to lighten the mood as she could tell her girlfriend was upset Lizzie had died, and that all this weird stuff was happening to her brother. Monica smiled back weakly, "Yeah... forever with you sounds really nice." She responded.
Meanwhile at the school, Jordan was seated in the common room, wearing an anxious look. Josie suddenly approached him, and instantly noticed his demeanour.
The Saltzman placed her hand in his, and offered the raven haired witch a weak smile, "We're going to stop your coven." She reassured him. "I swear to you, Jordan."
