When Kate hugged him Jasper melted into the touch. His arms wrapped around Kate as he rested his head on her shoulder. He allowed her to guide him to her room, shaking his head no to wanting to get his sister involved. He didn't want to bother her, she had been through enough already. He leaned into her touch, closing his eyes and listening to what she said.<br/><br/>Feeling Kate lifting his chin, Jasper met her gaze and tried to hold it, even though he desperately wanted to look away, to not accept what she was saying as true as his thoughts were telling him to do.<br/><br/>At her question of who he was going to believe Jasper whimpered and pulled away. He knew he should believe Kate, but for so long he had been forced to believe what others had said.<br/><br/>When the door opened he inhaled sharply and looked to see who had come in. Standing in the doorway, looking ready to attack, was Abigail. Her tattered wings fanned wide behind her.<br/><br/>"What did you do!" She glared at Kate, moving to stand before her. Abigail's gaze moved from her to Jasper, taking in his distressed appearance. Immediately she knelt before him and gripped both of his hands.<br/><br/>"Jaspy, what did she do? Do she hurt you?" Her eyes looked her brother over, searching for any sign of abuse before going back to Kate. "And to think you wanted me to trust you. You've probably got him under some spell so he doesn't see what you're doing. I won't fall for your tricks!" Standing, the winged woman moved to pull Jasper with her but was stopped. She turned to look at him and met his frightened green gaze.<br/><br/>"Come on Jasper, we're getting out of here." Moving to pull him along again, she was once more stopped. Turning her attention back to Kate, Abigail looked ready to kill. "What did you do?"
