Everyone gasped as Rachael seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
Jasper whirled.
Rachael landed lightly on the ground and remained crouching. "Today's a good day for you to die."
Jasper laughed. "I'm too young to die."
"I'm younger."
Jasper began circling Rachael. Rachael watched him without moving, so she saw him draw his whip.
It cracked past her ear and she didn't move. It cracked again and she whirled. It wrapped around her wrist and she held fast.
Rage flooded her and her eyes went red. She opened her mouth and hissed, her vampire teeth gleaming white in the light. She ripped the whip from his hand and bit it in half. She threw it to the side.
The laughter slowly disappeared from Jasper's eyes.
Rachael whipped a small knife from her belt. And began circling Jasper. "You gave me no mercy. And so," She threw the knife with all her strength. "You will have none."
It buried itself in Jasper's shoulder and he roared with pain. He gripped it and slowly pulled it out. Blood dripped from it.
The crowd gasped and Vladan jumped to his feet. Drake stood as well. Bo remained in her seat and calmly took a deep drink from her goblet.
Up in the balcony, Van Helsing stepped forward and aimed his gun at Vladan's forehead.
"They're dipped in Holy Water."
Instantly Jasper whirled and charged.
Rachael crouched and sprang into the air. She rose and latched her hand onto the chandelier. She pulled a gun and aimed right between her boots.
The sound of the gunshot echoed through the ballroom.
Jasper looked down at the hole in his chest and back at Rachael. His eyes where wide. "What…" he began but never finished.
"Silver bullets," she said. Slowly the red light faded from Rachael's eyes and she let herself drop to the ground.
She went up the table and took Drake's cup. She went back and stood in front of Jasper. She raised the glass to him. "To your eternity. In hell." And drained the glass and threw it to the side. It hit the floor and shattered. Slowly the red light faded from Rachael's eyes.
Jasper fell on his face. Dead.
"So be justice served," said Drake.
