Jasper watched Kate return the book to her sister. He hoped things would calm down now that the situation had been settled, but he was wrong. He heard what Sara said, what she had called him, but oh how he wished he hadn't. He knew what he had done, but he had had to. However when it was stated like that, that he was a killer, it seemed so much worse. Keeping his eyes on the table, Jasper heard what Kate said about Sara, though only faintly as though through water.<br/><br/>When he felt Kate's mana, Jasper pulled his gaze up to face her. He tried to follow what she said but couldn't seem to get his breathing under control. Lowering his head and closing his eyes, he could feel that he was trembling and close to breaking down right there. He heard rather than saw Kate stand and tell him to follow her, and he did.<br/><br/>Jasper felt the tension ease up some, he had grow use to Ann and felt safe with her. He still watched as Kate left him with her though. It didn't take long before Jasper felt himself calm and soon fall asleep under Ann's care. It wasn't a restful sleep though.<br/><br/>The nightmares he had been having had returned and Jasper found himself back in the arena. He was beaten and bruised, without anyway of defending himself. From above he could hear the jeers of the audience as he dodged whatever they threw. He couldn't see his opponent. Turning around, ears swiveling to catch any sound over the crowd, Jasper was stopped when he saw Kate. What was she doing here? Trying to get to her, Jasper saw Malora standing with her niece. He froze, watching them, trying to figure out what was going on. He tried calling out to Kate but she ignored him, turning away with her aunt. This couldn't be possible, Kate wasn't like Malora! Running after them, Jasper clung to the bars keeping him trapped in the arena.<br/><br/>Waking with a jolt, Jasper quickly took in the room and realized it was a dream. His attention snapped to the door as a young girl stepped in. Watching her carefully, ready to bolt, Jasper observed her approaching with the wash cloth. He tried to calm down again, but his breath hitched at the mention of his old title. Without thinking, Jasper shifted into his Savannah form and darted around the girl. He didn't know where he was going, or even what he was going to do, he just needed to get away. He knew Kate and the others were likely already gone, maybe he could find Ann? In the kitchen he shifted back to his human form and looked for the woman, his heart racing. He tried to blink away the tears in his eyes, he didn't need to cry right now, he didn't need to, no, couldn't fall apart.
