"Lexa!" Caroline rushed forward, hugging the girl. "Hey Care!" Lexa giggled, hugging her best friend back. "Why the urgency?" She asked, once they broke apart.

"Well.. with all of this Klaus stuff going on... I'm worried that you could uh... die.." Caroline began. "So I've made viles of my blood.. for you, Bonnie, Sienna and Elena."

"That's a bit morbid." Lexa laughed, before Caroline gave her a vial. "I don't think it will work for Sienna because she's already a werewolf." The siphoner admitted as Caroline's face fell. "Well if something happens to her I— she's become one of my best friends—" The blonde stammered.

Lexa placed her hand on Caroline's shoulder, "She's mine too, but Sienna Lockwood is strong as hell. If anyone is going to survive this, it'll be her." Lexa insisted, before Caroline smiled weakly.

The Gilbert looked at the vile in her hand, "I hate to break your spirit but... I don't think that Bonnie or Elena will accept these either." She admitted, before Caroline sighed, "I know... but I'm at least going to offer it to them. I can't live without you guys.. you're my best friends."

Lexa's eyes suddenly flew open, as she had finally regained consciousness. She found herself in her bedroom, laying flat on her bed. Beside her was Elena, who was beyond relieved that her twin was okay.

"Lexa!" Elena cried out, with tear filled eyes before she hugged her sister. Lexa hugged Elena back, letting out tears as she thought about everything that had happened before she had died.

"Caroline told us that you kept a vial of her blood." Elena said, pulling away. Lexa reached into her pocket, taking an empty glass vial, as she showed it to her twin. "So you're.. in transition?" Elena asked. "I... I guess so." Lexa sighed, feeling like she had a horrible headache.

"Are Cece.. Tasha and Aunt Jenna really dead?" Lexa asked, in almost a whisper. Elena nodded, her eyes glistening with tears. Lexa closed her eyes, as this overwhelming feeling of despair filled her again. Part of her hoped that she'd just woken up from some terrible nightmare.. and that none of it was real. But it was. All of it.

Overwhelmed by her own feelings, the ground began to shake, confusing Elena. "Lexa! Lexa calm down!" She called out. "Your blood is a source of magic now, so you're going to be a bit out of control until you can get used to it."

Lexa then scooted away from her sister, "Look.. you should go, Lena. I don't want to hurt you and for some reason right now I uh... feel this insane hunger that I can't really explain."

Down in the cellar, Tyler had placed his cousin into a coffin. Looking at her fear filled face, he broke down into tears.

"I should have been more grateful.." He choked out, "You were always there for me, Cece. Through thick and thin... and the last thing I did when I saw you, was cause an argument." He spoke to her corpse, "I should have stayed.. I should have been there for you."

Tyler didn't know what to do when he found out that Sienna was dead. He definitely didn't know how to tell his mother, that the niece she treated like her own daughter, was gone.

The werewolf gently closed the girls eyelids, before he continued to cry, feeling more alone than he had in his entire life.

There was a knock at the door, and Damon sped to answer it. Isaiah stood on the other side of the door, holding a dead Natasha in his arms.

Seeing Damon, he forgot about how morbid this situation was and blurted, "Who are you?" In a flirtatious yet shocked voice, finding the older Salvatore attractive. Damon didn't even hear the Mikealson's flirt, as he felt like time had completely stopped when he saw his best friend, dead. Her skin completely grey.

"Na... Natasha— my... my Tasha..." He blurted, completely lost for words as he felt misery wash over him. "I heard she meant a lot to you. So I thought I'd bring her here." Isaiah said, before stepping forward to place the Petrova in Damon's arms. Damon's eyes glistened with tears, before he looked up, his glare meeting Isaiah. "You.. need to leave." He said, as Isaiah nodded, and closed the door.

"Damon... who was at the door?" Brooklyn asked, rushing to the front door. The middle Salvatore had only gotten back to Mystic Falls a few hours earlier, with Bruno.

Brooklyn froze in shock, upon seeing her sister figure dead. Her grey veiny skin stuck out like a sore thumb, as Damon held the Petrova in his arms.

"Oh my god." Brooke blurted, clasping her hand over her mouth. "No... no..." The younger Salvatore managed to say, unable to tear her eyes away from Natasha, as tears filled her eyes.

Damon then fell to his knees, clutching the lifeless girl in his arms, as he sobbed. "God damn it Tasha.. I told you that I couldn't lose you again.. and I can't!" The Salvatore cried, as his tears began to soak her brunette locks.

"I need you... I need my best friend." Damon managed to choke out, in almost a whisper.

Lexa walked over to her chest of drawers, opening one to reveal a small box. She took the box in her hands, and opened it, which revealed a silver and pink ring.

She took it from the box, and slid it onto her finger, before tears welled in her eyes again.

"Lexa! I have a present for you!" Sienna hummed, barging into Lexa's bedroom. Sienna had only been living in the Gilbert household for a few days now, but she had definitely made herself at home... and Lexa loved her company.

"A present for me? Why?" Lexa asked, as Sienna pulled out a box with a ring inside. "Oh god Cece, marriage?! At least take me out to dinner first!" The siphoner joked. By this point, the girls weren't dating, but crushing hard on eachother.

"Lexa you idiot, it's a friendship promise-y ring!" Sienna huffed, before she opened the box. Inside it was a pink and silver shining ring. Lexa couldn't contain her smile, "It's so beautiful." She admitted, before taking the box from Sienna. "Thanks Cece.. I love it so much!"

Sienna smiled, "You're welcome doll.. I actually have a matching one." The werewolf said, lifting her hand to reveal a silver and baby blue ring, almost identical to Lexa's. "I wanted to get a ring.. to celebrate our friendship." The Lockwood added. "Because you uh... have become one of the most important people in my life and... I don't think I could live without you."

Lexa rushed forward, placing a kiss on Sienna's forehead. "I don't think I could live without you either, my dear Cece."

Tears streamed down the Gilbert's face, as she thought about her ex girlfriend.. her best friend. She didn't know how she was going to live without the Lockwood.

There was a knock at Lexa's door, being Stefan. "Lexa." He blurted, as the transitioning heretic turned to face the Salvatore. "Stefan.." She managed to choke out, about to burst into tears again. Stefan rushed forward, embracing her.

"Please tell me we won... please tell me that Bonnie took down Klaus..." Lexa pleaded, as Stefan held her. The vampire teared up now, "I wish I could." He managed to say, in almost a whisper.

Lexa nodded, sniffling. "Lexa, there's a service being held for Jenna.. but before you can go... you need to decide whether or not you want to complete your transition, and if you do we need a daylight ring for you."

The Gilbert nodded, pulling away from the Salvatore, "I um... I can't even think right now.. can I have some time?" She asked. Stefan nodded, "The service isn't for a few hours." He replied. Lexa just nodded, as Stefan turned to leave.

The Salvatore stopped in the doorway, turning back to face Lexa, who kept glancing down at her ring. "Hey Lexa..." The vampire spoke up. Lexa's eyes darted back up to Stefan. "I love you." He said softly, relieved that the girl he had grown platonically attached to, wasn't permanently dead, even though she was in so much pain.

Lexa smiled back weakly, "I love you too."

Lexa, Stefan, Elena, Damon, Bonnie, Caroline, Alaric, and Jeremy walked across the graveyard, approaching Jenna's grave, as they were holding a ceremony for her. Caroline had softly taken Lexa's hand in her own, as they walked.

Lexa had decided to complete her transition, making her a full heretic. She had turned the ring that Sienna gifted her, into a daylight ring. The Gilbert was really struggling with her emotions, they were all feeling intensified and she didn't know how to control any of it.

Approaching Jenna's grave, Lexa let go of Caroline's hand to step forward and place a rose by it. Elena did the same.

The heretic stayed by her Aunt's grave, crying openly as she let it all out. She loved Jenna so much, and couldn't believe that she was gone. Caroline looked away from the Gilbert tearing up again.

Eventually Lexa managed to separate herself from her Aunt's resting place, and stand back with the group, beside Caroline.

Isaiah crossed his arms, as he approached Elijah and Klaus. The older Mikealson was beginning to transform into a werewolf, but the youngest Mikealson stepped forward, grabbing Klaus' arm and bending it tightly in an unnatural direction, to get his attention.

"What is it, Isaiah?!" Klaus snapped, as Isaiah narrowed his eyes at the hybrid. "I kept up my end of the deal and helped you with your ritual. Don't forget your part... bring back our family!" The boy ordered.

Klaus pulled away from Isaiah, glaring hard at him. "I told you, a promise is a promise, brother." He concluded, before he went on to finish his transformation.

After the funeral, Lexa wanted to be alone. After placing a barrier spell on the perimeter of her bedroom, she sat alone on her bed, sipping from a blood bag. She couldn't stop thinking about Jenna, Sienna and Natasha. Despair filled the girl, as tears rolled down her face.

There was another knock on her bedroom door, as Elena kept checking on her. "Yes?" Lexa called out before Elena asked, "Can I please come in?"

"No, Lena. I'm very unstable right now. The barrier spell isn't just to keep you out but to keep me in." She called out, as tears continued to roll down her cheeks. The newly turned heretic took in one last sharp sip of blood, causing the bag to wrinkle as it was empty.

The Gilbert threw the empty blood bag on the floor, wanting more blood. Misery filled the girl, and all she wanted was blood.

She wanted to drink so much blood, that she felt like she was on a high... to distract her from the misery and despair that filled her. Deja vu?

"That's fine, we can just let ourselves in." A familiar voice said as the door suddenly opened. Lexa looked confusedly in the doorway, though her eyes widened in shock when she saw Giorgia and Carmen standing there, hand in hand, as Giorgia had used her magic to open the door.

"Gigi? Carmen?" Lexa blurted in shock, as the couple face them, their expressions softening. "Hey sweetie." Giorgia said, with a smile.

Lexa finally moved from her spot, rushing towards the doorway. She siphoned the spell that she'd placed in the doorway, before rushing forward to hug Giorgia and Carmen.

The Gilbert broke down in their arms, as they both held her. "We're so sorry for your loss." Carmen spoke sadly, as Giorgia rubbed Lexa's back comfortingly.
