Matt was hesitant to accept this man's help. Any time in the past someone had 'helped' him, it had hurt him. He had taken a risk trusting Kate and that had turned out for the better. He remained silent as Kate pulled him aside and spoke to him. He didn't understand why she wanted to heal him so badly, he wasn't in any major pain and many of his injuries had healed into scars already, those weren't going anywhere.<br/><br/>"I don't need to be treated like a child. I don't belong to you." He finally said between clenched teeth, pulling his hand away from Kate. "I've survived this long without any of this, why do I need it now?"<br/><br/>"You think just because I'm a slave I can't handle myself? That I'm just some mindless thing waiting to follow my master's bidding?" At these words Jasper flinched, taking a step back from the group with his ears flattened.<br/><br/>"News flash princess, I don't need your help. I don't need your pity. I don't..." Matt closed his eyes and felt he was shaking, his hands balled into fists at his sides. All the anger previous seen in his thin form drained away and he was left standing with unshed tears in his eyes, feeling horrible.
