## Summary

Sammie tells them that Raul is about to kill another girl, and that girl may be the mayor's daughter. Bjorn mulls it over and then makes a quick decision as he hears sirens in the distance. He turns to tell Severin that he's been cagey about what he and Henry are, but admits to him that they're Dragon Knights and they're going to fly over to the country club. Severin pales and takes a step back. Sammie assures him that Bjorn and Henry won't hurt him and Bjorn echoes that sentiment.

Severin begrudgingly agrees, then clarifies how they're getting to the club. Bjorn says they'll fly and Severin asks if they have to go over the water. Bjorn says they do. Sammie, still connected to Severin's thoughts, hears him start to panic. Sammie asks him if he wants a blindfold to wear and while Severin says no, his thoughts say otherwise. Sammie rips off the bottom of her shirt and hands it to Severin, telling him they're not going to judge him if he uses it. Severin quickly takes it and puts it on.

Henry picks up Sammie and takes off. Bjorn picks up Severin and takes to the sky as well, realizing Severin is almost shaking in his grasp. Sammie starts getting flashes of Severin's memories as they fly. She sees a young Severin, walking into a bathroom, where Raul sits on the edge of a tub filled with blood and water. She sees flashes of many different memories of Severin, trying to leave, and Raul grabbing young Severin and forcing his head under the water until he can't breathe.

Soon, they land in the woods outside the country club. They start to form a plan to ambush Raul but ask Sammie to check that Raul is still in his room. Sammie uses magic to observe the room and sees Raul dancing with a young girl while the mayor sits in a chair and watches. Sammie pulls back to herself and passes this information along, remarking that she thinks the mayor is hypnotized. She hears Severin think to himself that the mayor may already have been turned into a vampire by Raul. Aloud, Severin asks what they know about the mayor. Sammie admits she knows nothing about him.

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Severin make a plan to have Bjorn crash through the window to the room first with Severin, have Henry fly in afterward with Sammie who will be holding the net. Then, Bjorn and Sammie will try to get the net over Raul as quickly as possible to immobilize him. Once he's down, they'll hit him with as much firepower as possible. The first part of their plan goes perfectly - Bjorn and Henry make a beautiful landing and then Bjorn and Sammie throw the net onto Raul and the mayor's daughter. The two are knocked to the ground and Raul's skin immediately begins to burn and blister. The mayor jumps to his feet and looks around like he's trying to find something. Henry takes the opportunity to shoot Raul. He hits Raul in the back of the head with silver bullets, but it hurts him less than he'd expect. Henry is quickly tackled by the mayor who begins to pummel him in the face.

Sammie, seeing Raul start to free himself, uses magic to keep him pinned longer. Bjorn takes several shots at Raul, hitting him in his torso. Severin begins to advance toward his father with a knife drawn, a knife none of them have ever seen him with before. Suddenly, Raul shoots fire out from his hands and around them and blasts Bjorn backward. When the smoke clears, they see that Raul has melted the silver in the net. Sammie is struggling to hold him in place. Henry is still wrestling with the mayor. He tries to punch the mayor in the face, and hits, but it doesn't even phase him. The mayor leans down and bites Henry in the neck.

Sammie tries to push back against Raul and keep him contained but she's struggling. He's starting to break through Sammie's force barrier that's keeping him in place. Bjorn continues to fire silver bullets into Raul. The mayor, suddenly realizing what's happening with Raul, leaps off of Henry and tackles Sammie to the ground. Sammie loses her concentration on the force barrier and it drops, allowing Raul to break free. Raul leaps forward and slashes Bjorn across the legs with his clawed hand. Sammie throws the mayor off of her with a blast of force magic, but the mayor still manages to swipe her across the neck with his claws before she frees herself. Severin has launched himself at Raul and they are now wrestling across the ground.

Bjorn tries to take a shot at Raul. His bullet goes through Severin and into Raul. Severin immediately goes down and Raul pushes him off and onto the floor. Henry is lying on his back and bleeding profusely from his neck. He reaches his hand up to heal his neck and closes it for now. He fires at Raul from the ground. He clips him, but Raul is fast now that he's on his feet.

Sammie, still connected to Severin's thoughts, feels a brief flash of pain and betrayal before feeling nothing. The lack of thoughts scares her and she tries to run over to heal him. Raul tries to intercept Sammie, but Bjorn is able to shoot him to draw his attention away. Sammie gets down on her knees beside Severin and puts her hands on his chest. She pumps healing magic into him and Severin comes to with a cry of pain. Sammie holds out a hand to help Severin to his feet.

Bjorn takes yet another shot at Raul. Raul is tired of being shot at and runs up to Bjorn, shoving his clawed hand directly into Bjorn's sternum. While Raul's back is turned, Sammie runs up to stab him between his shoulder blades. She sinks her knife into him but Raul turns and slashes her across the chest with his clawed hand. Henry finally gets to his feet and takes yet another shot at Raul. Raul stumbles back from the shot and then sics the mayor on him. Henry is immediately tackled to the ground again by the mayor.

Sammie runs back in for another stab. She feigns downward and then stabs up into his stomach. Raul grabs Sammie by the throat, crushing her wind wipe. Bjorn lines up his shot and blows a chunk off the back of Raul's head with his last silver bullet, but the man still doesn't go down. Bjorn can see Raul's head begin to heal immediately. Raul throws Sammie at Bjorn and they both slam into the ground. Severin jumps up to try and stab Raul, but Raul dodges and slams the flat of his palm into Severin's chest with an audible *crunch*.

Henry is still wrestling with the mayor. He manages to lift his gun and fire it into the mayor's chest. The mayor is stunned but still fights with Henry. Sammie and Bjorn are focused on Raul. Sammie tries to stab him again with her knife. She does so, but Raul turns and meets her eyes. He gives her a command to drop her weapon and Sammie immediately throws her weapon away from her, the knife sliding under the corner of the bed in the room. She then stands, motionless.

Bjorn takes a moment to assess the situation. He sees Sammie is under Raul's thrall, Severin is crumpled onto the ground, Henry is bleeding out of two puncture marks in his neck, the mayor is clutching a at a bullet wound in his chest, and Raul is still standing - dark colored blood pouring out of various bullet holes and wounds in his body. Bjorn, out of silver bullets, runs up to Raul and swipes him across the chest with his claws. He realizes that his claws don't do anything to him. Raul doesn't break eye contact with Sammie as he punches Bjorn in the face before giving Sammie the command to kill Bjorn. Sammie, realizing she's under Raul's thrall but unable to break it, takes out her handgun and shoots at Bjorn with the hope the bullet won't go through his scales. She shoots wide and the bullet whizzes off one of his shoulder scales.

Bjorn sees that Raul is heading toward the mayor's daughter and realizes he's trying to heal himself by drinking her blood. Bjorn flies and dives for the girl, grabbing her, and then crashing out the window. He puts her on the ground and tries to fly back up as quickly as possible. Henry takes a moment to try and heal himself. As soon as he manages to close his wounds, the mayor jumps back on top of him.

Sammie, realizing she is alone with Raul, asks Jadis how to break his hypnosis. Jadis tells her to try and throw his hypnosis back at him, it won't work but it'll break the existing connection. Sammie focuses her mental magic and manages to break the thrall. Raul turns to look at her, surprised, and Sammie slams into him with a blast of force magic. Raul staggers backward, looking genuinely hurt by the blow. He then rushes forward and punches Sammie hard in the face. She falls to her knees and Raul turns his attention to Severin. Henry, in a desperate attempt to get the mayor off of him once and for all, slashes his claws across the mayor's throat. Dark red blood pours out of it and onto Henry. The mayor manages to hit Henry one last time before falling onto the ground and continuing to bleed out.

Bjorn swoops back through the window and lands in the room. He sees Sammie with blood pouring down her face and Raul, holding Severin's limp body out in front of him with a single hand - holding Severin by the back of his neck. Raul looks at Bjorn and Sammie as he holds Severin. He tells them to let him go or Severin dies. Raul makes eye contact with Bjorn and tries to hypnotize him into letting him go. Bjorn is able to resist being put under his thrall, however Bjorn can tell that Raul won't hesitate to break Severin's neck if they try anything. He can also tell that Raul is in bad shape and one more hit may be enough to do him in.

Bjorn thinks his only shot is to go for Sammie's silver knife that is under the bed. Sammie realizes Bjorn is going for the knife and freezes Raul in place. Bjorn makes a clean dive, grabs the knife, and rushes over to Raul. Sammie struggles to keep Raul frozen in place but feels a surge of magic rush through her that keeps her hold on Raul. Bjorn drives the knife straight through Raul's eye and with an extra boost from Sammie's surge of magic, the knife goes straight through the back of Raul's skull with a sizzle. He doesn't collapse straight away, but eventually his hand releases Severin and drops him to the ground. Then, he falls to his knees and collapses onto his side. Slowly, he begins to disintegrate and flake into nothingness and ash.

They all collectively try to catch their breath from the hard fight. Sammie looks over and realizes Henry has a set of puncture marks in his neck. Bjorn comments that the fight could have gone better as his vision swims in front of him. None of them are in good shape. Bjorn sees Henry and the mayor, dead on the ground, and takes note of yet another thing he'll have to take care of. Sammie can tell that Severin is going in and out of consciousness. All she could feel from him while Raul held him in the air was fear and now she's getting flashes of relief and pain. Bjorn shakes Severin to try and get him to come to and Severin groans. Bjorn asks him if they have to worry about Henry's bite and after finding out the mayor is dead, Severin says Henry is fine.

Bjorn looks out the window and notes the mayor's daughter is sitting in the grass, looking confused. Bjorn tells Sammie she'll have to make her forget all this and Sammie agrees. The crew begins to go into recovery mode, tending to their various injuries and doing what damage control they can. Bjorn calls H.U.N.T.E.R. and Holland to have them start working on a coverup story and get the country club cleaned up. Sammie wipes the mayor's daughter's memory and she passes out.

Before they leave the country club, Bjorn asks Severin if they need to worry about everyone that was under Raul's thrall and if there are more vampires. Bjorn realizes that they'd have to wipe the memory of every person that's been in the country club in the last few days and Sammie rubs her face exhaustedly thinking about the magical energy it'll take. Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie begin to walk around the club and wipe every person's memory that they find. Severin examines everyone with his magic to make sure they're not a vampire.

When they finally have made their way through almost the entire club and enter the lobby, Severin squints at a man sitting in a chair. He reaches over, pulls Henry's gun out of his holster, and shoots the man dead in the forehead, using his last silver bullet. Bjorn asks Severin if there's anything else that can be done with a vampire and Severin answers that people can't be turned into vampires against their will, they have to want it - it's a choice. Sammie, still connected to Severin's thoughts, sees a flash of a memory - a kind, smiling, raven-haired woman that then turns into a snarling vampire. Then, her connection is cut. They finish their process of mind wiping everyone in the country club and, thankfully, find no more vampires.

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Severin head back to the hotel. When they walk in, Oliver is up and making himself a pot of tea in the kitchen. He doesn't look great but he's better than he was. Oliver asks if they're alright and Sammie answers that none of them are, but Raul is dead. Oliver still seems to be shell shocked from the blast as he nods and says he's glad to hear it.

Miguel has just woken up after draining himself of magic earlier in the day. Henry walks into Miguel's room and collapses onto the ground. Bjorn walks in behind him. Miguel calls in Stanley to pick Henry up and move him onto the sofa. Bjorn offers to wait until tomorrow but Miguel says it's fine and starts to work on healing them. Again.

Sammie sits at the kitchen counter, sipping a cup of tea Oliver has made her. She notices Severin looking rather uncomfortable. Sammie offers for him to sit and have a cup of tea with them. Severin seems to smile for a moment and then it vanishes. He says that he should go. Sammie tells him that they can fix him up before he goes and Bjorn adds its the least they can do after he shot him. Severin gives in and Sammie walks over to heal him up. As she heals his wounds, she confesses to him that she'd been connected with his mind for a while that day. Severin turns pink and apologizes. Sammie replies that she's the one that's sorry for what happened to him. Severin says it's fine and Sammie insists that it's not, then Severin thanks her.

Once Sammie has healed Severin, he stands up and stretches and makes his way toward the door. He thanks them all for everything and Sammie says he knows where to find them if he ever needs anything. Bjorn meets him at the door and holds his hand out to shake Severin's hand. Severin is skeptical, but does so. Bjorn says that he knows a lot happened in a short amount of time but he wants him to know he doesn't have to worry about them at all - implying that they're not going to tell anyone about him. Severin thanks him for not just letting him die, saying a lot of Bjorn's 'kind' would have. Severin gives them one last thank you and then leaves.
