"All right. Voting is now closed." Emma spoke, as she stood behind the podium, as the students all broke into a round of applause as she prepared to reveal the honor council members. "Let's get started."

Emma looked at the ballot box, which lit up from within and vibrated for a long moment before spitting a piece of parchment into the air. "The werewolf representative will be ...Rafael!" She announced, reading from the pierce of paper.

A bright smile filled Ruby's face as she turned to her twin and gave him a proud smile. All of the werewolves stood to applaud and cheer for their new alpha, who was seated in the front row of their section and smiled weakly, his face still bruised and cut from his battle with Jed earlier.

In the witch section, Josie rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "So much for not wanting anything to do with the pack..."

"I've always wanted to be part of a power couple..." Lizzie hummed as Ruby looked at the witch awkwardly. After a moment, Emma called for them to resume the ceremony. "All right, settle down." She called out and much to Emma's appreciation, the audience fell quiet.

"Thank you. Next up... the vampire representative will be..." MG stood to his feet and buttoned his jacket as he awaited his name being called but Emma announced, "...Monica!"

As with the werewolves, the vampires all stood, to cheer or laugh excitedly, as Monica just smirked proudly. MG's smile fell, before he sat down in his seat while the vampires around him start whooting and dancing, and once again, Emma gave them a moment to congratulate their representative before calling on them to quiet down. "All right, guys, settle down." Emma called out again.

Lizzie got to her feet excitedly before turning to Josie and Ruby excitedly, "Showtime. How do I look?" She asked as Ruby flashed a smile, "Pretty."

The box rattled and spat out its last piece of parchment as Josie straightened Lizzie's side-ponytail and tie. "And the witch representative will be..." Emma began as the twins smiled at each other affectionately as Emma read off the final representative. "..Josie!"

Lizzie's smile immediately fell she looked to Josie, who was completely surprised. "Hey uh good job, Jo!" Ruby awkwardly spoke, turning the girl's attention away from how surprised she was. Emma wrapped up the ceremony. "Thank you all for voting, and congratulations to our newly-elected representatives."

Ruby entered the Rafael and Landon's dorm, to see Hope helping Landon, as he'd just been attacked by Jed. "I'm gonna tear Jed apart." Rafael yelled angrily, as Hope sighed, "No, you're really not."
