"The what?" Rose asks, shocked.

"The magic guillotine." Jake explains. "Gramps says it's not used since when he was still a little boy."

"And what does it do?" Rose asks.

"It tests people's loyalties." Jake answers. "If you're really loyal to us, it won't kill you. If you're not, well, you've got it."

"Fine, I'll face the guillotine." Rose decides.

"Rose???" Jake asks, shocked.

"I'd rather die than being forced to live away from you despite having left the Huntsclan." Rose replies. "Specially if locked away in a cell."

"I see."

Rose is then brought to the Council Room, where everyone is eager to see if the guillotine will kill Rose or not.

"I hope they make it slow and painful." Haley comments.

"Haley, as long as we get rid of that slayer, I don't care if it'll hurt or not." Susan replies.

"Actually, I believe the Huntsgirl is on our side now." Sun Park comments.

"I'm glad to hear it, Sun." Lao Shi replies.

"Shhhh." Jake asks. "They're going to lower the blade now." They do it and, to Jake and Rose's relief, she's unharmed.

"Rose Killdragonosa, you've proven your true loyalties." Councillor Andam announces. "Now the only remaining problem is, where are you going to live?"

"She could live at my place." Jake comments.

"Jacob Luke Long, I won't let a slayer set foot at my house." Susan angrily replies.

"She could live at my store." Lao Shi suggests.

"No way!" Susan and Haley replies.

"The store belongs to the American Dragon's dragon master." Councillor Kulde replies. "If he's welcoming the Huntsgirl to live there, be it."

"Thank you, Councillor." Lao Shi humbly replies.

"Now all that's left to do is how to handle her education since she can't return to anyplace the Huntsclan knows her to go." Councillor Andam replies.

Rose then leaves the Island of Draco with the Longs, with Susan and Haley not hiding how much they despise her.

"It's gonna be a long way back home." Rose comments to herself.
