A/N: Hi everyone, another chapter. I wanted to write this one when I learned that there was a theory that Jack the Ripper was actually a woman. And this popped up in my head. Please forgive me for any mistakes I have made. Not completely happy about this chapter, most of it I write at night... which is definitely not the best time to write. So I hope you will enjoy.

Warning: Blood and murder.

Merlin stared at the cold body lying on the bed in front of him. His eyes then shifted to the police around him, they didn't see him as his magic hide him away. In his mind he screamed as he couldn't believe this was already the fourth woman that had been murdered like this, but every time the mutilations had been worse. The woman, named Catherine Eddowes, had her throat sliced and both her uterus and kidney were stolen.

He bit his lip, he hated the sight of blood, but he knew he had to do something since he felt a wicked and dark magic spread through the room. The person that killed this woman had magic and he was certain that this dark kind shouldn't be allowed to roam free in the world.

The raven glanced once more at the woman before turning on his heels and stepping out of the room, he felt shivers ran over his back. No one deserved this fate.

Outside he met Aithusa, the dragon had stayed outside as he didn't know how she would react to the blood in the room. She looked nervously at him before asking. 'And?'

He shook his head. 'The same person... I fear we have to hunt this killer down.'

'But you said-.'

'I know what I said!' He snapped at her, but as he saw her flinch away he immediately regretted his words. 'I'm sorry... I know that I said I wouldn't interfere with events happening in this world, but I can't ignore this. This person won't stop killing.' His face hardened by the thought he had to kill someone.

The white dragon gave him a soft smile before hugging her friend. 'It has to be done, remember that you will save a lot of people.'

'I know.'

Merlin ran through the streets, with Aithusa not far behind him, as he felt that evil magic spread through the sky. And they were close, if he hurried he may be able to catch the killer, even when it would be too late for the victim.

The raven ran into an old building, pulling open the door to an room and stopped in the doorway, starring at the sight in front of him. He had seen a lot, but this... this was just inhuman. He felt a tear in his eyes as he stared at the mutilated body. A woman he couldn't recognize anymore, the skin of her face peeled off, her upper body spread open and all her organs where lying spread over the room.

He stumbled backwards, he had to get away from her, from this poor soul. As he turned around he faced the dragon, her eyes wide at the sight behind him. He pushed her away, she shouldn't see something like this.

Trying to ignore the image in his head he searched for the magic and luckily he was able to grip the last linger of it in the sky. He ran, following the path of magic and eventually it let him into a large abandoned factory.

A black figure stood with its back towards him. Not that he hadn't recognized the person, an reincarnated soul from Camelot.

The figure turned around facing him. 'Merlin?' It was an sad and pain filled voice. 'It's not fair...'

Merlin's heart hardened. 'You have killed all those people.'

A tear rolled over the other's cheek. 'But it wasn't fair, why can't I have children.' She brushed her tears away.

'But why do this?' The images of the bodies still clear in his mind.

'I wanted their ability to get pregnant... It's not fair.' She looked up through one of the windows towards the sky. 'Why was I punished like this?' Her empty eyes shifted towards the warlock. 'It wasn't my fault that Ygraine died, it was all Uther... that man!' The last she shouted with a voice that wasn't human anymore and at that point he knew that she was a broken woman, only led by her own dark magic.

They stared at each other as they let their magic spread. A death silence was spread in the room, until soft footsteps could be heard and a scared Aithusa ran towards him.

But as she grabbed his arm, searching for his protection he noticed how Nimueh's eyes narrowed themselves and she silently whispered words to herself. He knew it had been better if the dragon hadn't come.

'She...' He heard the dragon whisper behind him.

But he didn't had time to react as he heard the wicked woman scream and when he turned back he saw her running towards them, suddenly holding an knife in her hand as she shouted. 'Woman!' Her eyes had turned pitch black and he knew she was already dead inside.

Aithusa screamed as she remembered the body she had seen only minutes ago and stumbled backwards, nothing wanting to have the same fate.

Merlin quickly lifted his hand, his mind immediately screaming to protect the dragon, and he and Nimueh were almost face to face as he let his magic go free. He heard her yell only once before large red flames devoured her, leaving nothing more than ashes.

It had ended quickly, Nimueh hadn't been as powerful as she once had been, but still the woman had killed at least five women, probably even more. He didn't even feel remorse for her as he was sure that with her death he had also saved her from herself, for the monster she had become.

He glanced back at Aithusa, staring at a shocked dragon, tears appearing in her eyes. 'We are going.' He let his eyes fell one last time at the remains of the witch. No one would ever know who Jack the Ripper was.
