TVD: Sheriff Forbes the New Vampire in Town?

Forget the gun this sheriff has fangs

                    Living in Mystic Falls the number 1 cause of death is "animal attack". I thought for sure Sheriff Liz Forbes would die this way but someone upstairs was looking out for Liz. But the Reaper has come to collect. Liz has a brain tumor; terminal. No option except to make her comfortable. However, Caroline is stubborn (as we all know) and she's not ready to lose another parent yet. So that leaves only one option: Sheriff Forbes could become Mystic Falls' new vampire resident.

Sheriff Forbes protects everyone even the fanged residents

            There have been a few rumors spreading around that Sheriff Forbes could be the new vampire in town. This opens up some story lines. Bill didn't want to spend eternity as the thing he hated but Liz was open to having a vampire daughter. Maybe she'll be open to spending eternity with her? Or she could be like Bill and want the natural way out. Yet let's look at what would happen if Liz became a vampire.

To think, Liz used to hate vampires

          It would even the playing field a bit. Having a sheriff that is a vampire protect the town from vampires is handy. Although the remaining founding family members may not be happy... Ah Hell let's face it: they have no luck in killing off vampires. Seriously they all seem incompetent except maybe members of the Fells and Forbes, but they're the only ones. The Council should be like: if you can't beat them, join them. Do like New Orleans where they allow vampires to live there in exchange for protecting the town, all the blood they can eat. This transition would open new possibilities for the town and new material story wise. Matt would be uneasy about such an alliance as we all know his feelings on vampires. 

They're so close now we don't want to lose that

        It would be awesome to have Sheriff Liz Forbes join the blood sucking family. Caroline would definitely push the idea on her mom. They've been nothing but closer ever since Caroline became a vampire and she wouldn't want to lose that. Still it'll come down to what Liz wants to do. She may hold onto the belief that parents are not supposed to outlive their children; the natural order and all that. Character deaths are meant to move the story and challenge other characters, see the affect of such a depressing change in their lives. We'll see what happens.
