The Dragon Council is judging the captured slayers. It's Rose's turn now.

"Rose Killdragonosa, despite all you've done against the magical world, some members of the Dragon Order actually believe you've turned to our side." Councillor Andam announces. "What made you have second thoughts about hunting magical creatures?"

"During the Grand Equinox Hunt, when I was about to slay the American Dragon, he called me by name and revealed me his true identity." Rose explains. "It was a shock to find out the boy I love and the dragon I've tried to slay are one and the same."

"When was the first time after that you've met the American Dragon?" Councillor Kulde asks.

"When I found out the Huntsmaster had a plan to destroy all magical creatures, I used my dream charm to warn Jake." Rose answers.

"Oh, yes, I remember it." Councillor Omina comments. "Lao Shi told us about this and he suspected it was a trap."

At this moment, Susan and Haley had victorious smiles. It seems they'll finally get rid of Rose.

"Well, I can't blame him for mistrusting me." Rose comments. "But as it was later revealed I was telling the truth as the Huntsclan planned to reunite all thirteen ancient Aztec Skulls to wish for the destruction of all magical creatures."

"Indeed, Lao Shi affirmed he came to trust you after you helped the American Dragon to get the Aztec Skull kept by the giant serpent." Councillor Andam comments. "However, we're still concerned about how you almost turned him to the Huntsclan during that disasterous love cruise."

Now Susan and Haley are shocked. They knew something about that love cruise made Jake sad but they never suspected it was because the Huntsgirl had betrayed him. But how did she trick him into trusting her again?

"I was under the negative effect of cupid's arrows back then." Rose replies. "It's not my fault."

'They're not buying that. Are they?' Susan and Haley think.

"In fact, the American Dragon's dragon master had mentioned this at his report." Councillor Kulde comments.

"You cannot trust that girl!" Susan yells. "She's a slayer." Several magical creatures agree and it takes the Dragon Council some time until order is restored.

"Please, Mrs. Long, remain silent or you'll be asked to leave." Councillor Andam asks.

"The most important of it all, Ms. Killdragonosa, is the fact it was on your suggestion the Huntsman had used the American Dragon's sister as a bait to capture him." Councillor Kulde declares.

"It was the only way to keep her from being slain, Sir." Rose explains.

"Apparently, out of the American Dragon's relatives, his dragon master is the only dragon to believe you." Councillor Omina replies.

"In fact, if not for the fact Lao Shi vouched for you, we'd not even consider the possibility you were telling the truth." Councillor Kulde sternly announces.

"The Dragon Council will now deliberate." Councillor Andam says. "Escort this slayer back to her cell."

Later on, Jake visits Rose's cell followed by Councillor Andam and two dragon guards. "Jake, what did the Dragon Council decide?" She asks.

"Well, they gave you two choices." Jake answers. "You can either remain in prison until you're 21, or..."

"Or?"

"You may let the magic guillotine judge you."

I came up with the guillotine thing while writing the chapter. Please Review.
